v0.19.0

Note: this release includes ansible-operator and helm-operator binaries built for all corresponding image build architectures. See #3327 for details.

Additions

• Add "panic" level for --zap-stacktrace-level (allows "debug", "info", "error", "panic"). (#3040)
• The operator-sdk binary has a new CLI workflow and project layout for scaffolding Go operators that is aligned with Kubebuilder's CLI and project layout. See the new Quickstart Guide and the new CLI reference for more details. (#3190)
• bundle validate can now use a containerd image ("none") tool to unpack images, removing the need for an external image tool like docker/podman. (#3222)
• The SDK scorecard command adds a new test image, scorecard-test-kuttl, that allows end users to write and execute kuttl based tests. (#3278)
• Add "--olm-namespace" flag to olm subcommands (install, uninstall) to allow users to specify the namespace where olm is to be installed or uninstalled. (#3300)
• Add sdk annotations to bundle resources (CSVs, annotations.yaml and bundle.dockerfile). (#3120)
• Add "--version" flag to olm subcommands (uninstall, status) to allow users to override the version of olm inferred from packageserver's CSV. (#3279)
• Alias run packagemanifests as run pm. (#3314)
• Add generate kustomize manifests subcommand for new project layouts. (#3258)
• Add generate packagemanifests subcommand for legacy project layouts. (#3149)
• Add generate packagemanifests subcommand for new project layouts. (#3096)
• Added predicate filtering function for labels based on selectors specified in watches.yaml. Events of resources that match the selector's labels will be skipped. (#3275)
• Add builds for ansible-operator and helm-operator binaries. (#3363)
• Add new scorecard APIVersion "osdk.openshift.io/v1alpha3" and types. (#3125)

Changes

• Breaking change: Prevent the ansible-operator from mangling variables containing the uppercase representations of special words (e.g IP, HTTP, etc). (#3265)
• Breaking change: In Helm-based operators, the UpdateSuccessful condition reason was renamed to UpgradeSuccessful to better align with Helm nomenclature. (#3345)
• Breaking change: In Helm-based operators, the UpdateError condition reason was renamed to UpgradeError to better align with Helm nomenclature. (#3269)
• Upgrade Helm dependency for Helm based-Operators from v3.2.0 to v3.2.4 in order to fix CVE-2020-4053. (#3313)
• Change default value of --overwrite flag in operator-sdk generate bundle to true. (#3280)
• The scorecard-test-kuttl image was updated to be based off the v0.5.1 version of kudobuilder/kuttl. This update fixes bugs found in kuttl v0.5.0. (#3369)
• The alpha scorecard subcommand now outputs results as a scorecard.operatorframework.io/v1alpha3 Test instead of a scorecard.operatorframework.io/v1alpha2 ScorecardOutput. As a result, the --list argument will now just output a list of tests, without associated labels. (#3208)

Removals

• The operator-sdk new command no longer supports scaffolding new Go projects with the --type=Go flag. To scaffold new projects, users are expected to use operator-sdk init as part of the new CLI for Go operators. (#3190)

Deprecations

• With the introduction of the new Kubebuilder aligned CLI and project layout for Go operators, the old CLI will still continue to work for Go projects scaffolded in the old layout with operator-sdk new. However the old CLI is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. (#3190)
• The migrate sub-command is deprecated. (#3319)
• Deprecate 'operator-sdk add crd'. Use 'operator-sdk add api' instead. (#3180)
• bundle create is deprecated in favor of a combination of generate bundle and docker build -f bundle.Dockerfile .... (#3323)
• generate csv is deprecated in favor of generate bundle or generate packagemanifests. (#3322)
• The flag --git-init in the new command was deprecated. (#3241)

Bug Fixes

• Fix leader election of follower showing that an old leader will be evicted when the current leader is healthy. (#3059)
• Fix bug in operator-sdk bundle validation that causes erroneous validation errors when the number of annotations in an existing annotations.yaml does not equal the number of default bundle annotations by upgrading the operator-registry dependency. (#3221)
• Fix the download URL for the tini binary on ARM64 for the ansible operator base image. (#3234)
• The generate crds subcommand now checks for the existence of the pkg/apis directory and logs a descriptive fatal error message if it does not exist or is not a directory. (#3091)
• Fix bug in bundle validate that erroneously causes errors when a CRD manifest contains versions not present in a bundled CSV by bumping the api library version. (#3282)
• Bump api validation library to fix "CRD key not found" validation bug. (#3154)
