Release date: 2020-10-02

This prerelease fixes a regression bug introduced in v0.1.0 resulting in the spec.targetNamespace not being taken into account.

Release date: 2020-09-30

This is the first MINOR prerelease, it promotes the helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io API to v2beta1 and removes support for v2alpha1.

Going forward, changes to the API will be accompanied by a conversion mechanism. With this release the API becomes more stable, but while in beta phase there are no guarantees about backwards compatibility between beta releases.

A breaking change was introduced to the Status object, as the LastObservedTime field has been removed in favour of the newly introduced LastHandledReconcileAt. This field records the value of the fluxcd.io/reconcilateAt annotation, which makes it possible for e.g. the gotk CLI to observe if the controller has handled the resource since the manual reconciliation request was made.

Release date: 2020-09-23

This prerelease adds support for Helm charts from Bucket sources, support for optional ValuesFrom references, and a Helm upgrade from 3.3.3 to 3.3.4.

Release date: 2020-09-22

This prerelease adds support for DependsOn references to other namespaces than the HelmRelease resource resides in, container images for ARMv7 and ARMv8 published to ghcr.io/fluxcd/helm-controller-arm64, a Helm upgrade from 3.3.1 to 3.3.3, and a refactor of the Status object.

The latter introduces the following breaking changes to the Status object:

• The Installed, Upgraded, RolledBack, and Uninstalled conditions have been removed, since they did not represent current state, but rather actions taken, which are already recorded by events.
• The ObservedStateReconciled field has been removed, since it solved the problem of remembering past release successes, but not past release failures, after other subsequent failures such as dependency failures, Kubernetes API failures, etc.
• The Tested condition has been renamed to TestSuccess, for forward compatibility with interval based Helm tests.

While introducing the following new Status conditions:

• Remediated which records whether the release is currently in a remediated state. It is used to prevent release retries after remediation failures. We were previously not doing this for rollback failures.
• Released which records whether the current state has been successfully released. This is used to remember the last release attempt status, regardless of any subsequent other failures such as dependency failures, Kubernetes API failures, etc.
