Release date: 2020-09-11

This prerelease adds support for defining a ValuesFile in the HelmChartTemplateSpec to overwrite the default chart values with another values file, as supported by >=0.0.15 of the source-controller, and a --watch-all-namespaces flag (defaults to true) to provide the option to only watch the runtime namespace of the controller for resources.

Release date: 2020-09-04

This prerelease adds support for Helm charts from GitRepository sources, improvements for a more graceful failure recovery, and an upgrade of Helm from v3.0.0 to v3.0.1. It includes several (breaking) changes to the API.

The spec of the HelmRelease has a multitude of breaking changes:

• spec.chart (which contained the template for the HelmChart template) has moved one level down to spec.chart.spec. This matches the pod template defined in the Kubernetes Deployment kind, and allows for adding e.g. a spec.chart.metadata field in a future iteration to be able to define annotations and/or labels.
• The spec.chart.name field has been renamed to spec.chart.spec.chart, and now accepts a chart name (for charts from HelmRepository sources) or a path (for charts from GitRepository sources), to follow changes made to the HelmChart API.
• The spec.chart.spec.sourceRef.kind is now mandatory, and accepts both HelmRepository and GitRepository values.

The status object has two new fields to help end-users and automation (tools) with observing state:

• observedStateReconciled represents whether the observed state of the has been successfully reconciled. This field is marked as true on a Ready==True condition, and only reset on generation, values, and/or chart changes.
• lastObservedTime reflects the last time at which the HelmRelease was observed. This can for example be used to observe if the HelmRelease is running on the configured spec.interval and/or reacting to ReconcileAt annotations.

This prerelease adds support for conditional remediation on failed Helm actions, and includes several (breaking) changes to the API:

• The maxRetries value should now be set on the respective install.remediation.retries and upgrade.remediation.retries fields.
• The rollback.enable field has been removed in favour of upgrade.remediateLastFailure.
• Failing Helm tests will now result in a False Ready condition by default, ignoring test failures can be re-enabled by configuring test.ignoreFailures to true.

Release date: 2020-08-20

This prerelease adds support for merging a flat single value from a ValueReference at the defined TargetPath, and fixes a bug in the merging of values where overwrites of a map with a flat single value was not allowed.
