Introducing Shipwright Beta API

About a year ago, we published a blog post in which we outline our vision and our values. Part of this vision was to advance our API to enhance its simplicity and consistency, and to signal a higher level of maturity.

Today, as part of our release v0.12.0, we are introducing our beta API. The beta API brings multiple changes as a result of accumulated experience operating the alpha API and incorporating valuable user feedback.

With the introduction of the beta API, users can have confidence that our core components have been battle-tested, and using our different features is considered a safe practice.

We want to thank our community for their contributions and support in redefining this new API!

Beta API

The beta API is available starting from the v0.12.0 release. The release is available across our cli, operator and build repository.

Within the v0.12.0 release, a conversion webhook has been introduced to ensure backward compatibility between the v1alpha1 and v1beta1.

We strongly encourage both current and future users to adopt the beta API to benefit from its enhanced definition.
