v1.5.4

Welcome to the v1.5.4 pre-release of Porch.

Note

Porch switches to the kptdev version of kpt in this release. All kpt imports, KRM catalog functions, and the KRM functions SDK are used from kptdev. The GoogleContainerTools version of kpt is no longer used.

Important

Porch will only support 1.30+ k8s distributions from this release on. We have updated the versions of Kubernetes dependencies used in Porch

Release Notes for Version 4.1.0

🚨 Breaking Changes

In this pre-release, the type of the revision field on PackageRevisions is changed from string to integer. This will require users of the API to change their API calls.

Up to now, the revision field has been used to identify the revision of released packages (v1, v2, v3 etc) but also to identify the branch of placeholder package revisions
such as the main package revision. The revision field was being used for two purposes leading to confusion and complexity on the Porch code.

Now the revision field has changed to only identify the revision of a package revision.

• released package revisions are numbered 1, 2 and so on, with the highest revision being the latest package
• draft package revisions have a revision of 0
• placeholder package revisions that indicate the head of a release branch (main, v3.0.0, v4.0.0 etc) have a revision of -1

The workspace name is set to the name of the release branch on placeholder package revisions (as it was before this change), and can be used to identify the branch of the placeholder release.

The object name of placeholder package revisions can now also be used to identify the branch because the branch name is the last sub-field of the object name.
