Helm operator 1.0.0-rc5

Notice: upgrading to this version from <=0.10.x by just updating your Helm Operator image tag is not possible as the CRD domain and version have changed. An upgrade guide can be found here.

Notice: due to the added helmVersion field, you need to re-apply the HelmRelease CRD.

This release brings Helm v3 support to the release candidate, Helm v3 functionalities should be considered beta. Support for Helm v2 and v3 is enabled by default. To target Helm v3, set the .spec.helmVersion in a HelmRelease to v3.

Enabling just Helm v3 is possible by configuring --enabled-helm-versions=v3, this will also make the .spec.helmVersion default to v3.

To be able to support multiple Helm versions large parts of the operator had to be rewritten, which lead to several improvements around release decision making and keeping track of charts from Git sources. We also no longer shell out to the helm binary to achieve certain functionalities but instead make directly use of the available Helm packages, this will also ease the support of charts from OCI sources in upcoming releases.

Extensive documentation will be added in the next release candidate, which will likely also be the last RC before moving to GA.

Improvements

• Helm v3 support (v3.0.1) fluxcd/helm-operator#156

  With a subset of notable PRs:

  • Include of helm2 and helm3 binaries in Docker image fluxcd/helm-operator#118
  • Support for importing Helm v2 and v3 repositories using the --helm-repository-import flag fluxcd/helm-operator#141
  • Refactor of downloads from Helm chart repositories; it now uses the download manager from Helm instead of our own logic fluxcd/helm-operator#145
  • Refactor of dependency updates; it now uses the download manager from Helm instead of shelling out to the helm binary fluxcd/helm-operator#145

• Decoupling of release reconciliation from chart source sync fluxcd/helm-operator#99

Maintenance and documentation

• Build: upgrade Go to 1.13.3 fluxcd/helm-operator#104
• Pkg: only use fluxcd/flux fluxcd/helm-operator#104
• Build: end-to-end tests [fluxcd/helm-operator#]{#110, #118, #148, #150}
