   Release notes

   v0.44.4

   Breaking change!

   • #1201 wait now takes a helm v4 strategy (watcher, legacy, hookOnly) — previous booleans are rejected: use watcher instead of true and hookOnly instead of false (@r3nic1e)

   • #1201 recreate is no longer applied: helm v4 removed the option behind it (@r3nic1e)

   • #1201 A configured post_renderer now also receives hook manifests, matching helm v4's default — set post_render_strategy: nohooks for the previous behavior (@r3nic1e)

   New feature

   • #1201 Build on the Helm v4 SDK: Helm 3 reaches EOL in November 2026. Based on the helmtide migration by @semx (@semx)

   • #1201 New release option server_side_apply (true/false/auto) controls helm v4 server-side apply (@r3nic1e)

   • #1201 New release option force_conflicts forces server-side apply changes against field-ownership conflicts (@r3nic1e)

   • #1201 New release option post_render_strategy (combined/separate/nohooks) controls how manifests are handed to the post_renderer (@r3nic1e)

   Other

   • #1201 post_renderer commands are now executed by helmwave itself, since helm v4 only supports plugin post-renderers (@r3nic1e)
