v0.5.0

Release notes for v0.5.0

Liqo is an open-source project that enables dynamic and seamless Kubernetes multi-cluster topologies.

Version 0.5.0 marks a big step forward in the maturity and usability of the project. It features a completely renewed liqoctl CLI, with improved UX and extended capabilities. It comes along with a brand-new documentation website. Check it out to discover all the Liqo features and see how they work, how to install it on your clusters and learn the different configuration options. All complemented by a new set of hands-on examples. Finally, this version introduces a first support to offloaded applications interacting with the local API server, as well as a huge variety of minor improvements and quality-of-life fixes.

Thank you to all the people who tested our previous release and gave us hints to improve the usability of the project, and who contributed to this release!
