Release summary

v0.20.0 introduces the cluster-scoped ZoneDelegation CRD, enabling teams to declaratively activate and safely retire DNS zones. This prevents shared or dynamically provisioned clusters from becoming authoritative before their GSLB records exist and returning cacheable NXDOMAIN responses for hostnames served by another cluster. k8gb dynamically configures CoreDNS and coordinates safe multi-cluster delegation cleanup through ExternalDNS or Infoblox. Existing static k8gb.dnsZones configurations remain supported without migration.

It also adds TLSRoute support with multiple api versions and the k8gb.io/exposed-hostnames annotation, while improving service health checks, DNS validation, legacy migration cleanup, and reconciliation reliability. New local-failover and AI-inference resilience demos, expanded documentation, unified CRDs, and refreshed dependencies round out the release.

Changelog

Highlights

• New vendor-neutral canonical API group k8gb.io/v1beta1, aligning the public API with the k8gb.io project identity.

• Controlled migration path from k8gb.absa.oss/v1beta1 to k8gb.io/v1beta1, with explicit per-object opt-in via k8gb.io/migration-requested=true. See the Service Upgrade guide.

• Legacy objects are working during the transition and marked completed migrations with k8gb.io/migrated-to-k8gb-io=true for safe phased rollouts. See the Migration Acceptance Tests.

• Improved migration safety for embedded Ingress resources with ownership cleanup and documented upgrade validation steps in the Migration Acceptance Tests.

• Runtime-facing image defaults to registry.k8gb.io, same for supporting components such as the CoreDNS CRD plugin.

• Dynamic Zones support with the new cluster-scoped ZoneDelegation resource for more flexible DNS management in shared and multi-tenant environments. See Dynamic Zones. [PREVIEW]

• Strengthened release and supply-chain workflows by separating Helm OCI publishing and Cosign signing into a dedicated workflow. For deployment and configuration guidance, see the documentation.
