Update 2024-07-09: added Operator installation instructions

After months of diligent work, just in time for cdCon 2024, we are releasing our v0.13.0 release. This significant milestone incorporates a bunch of enhancements, features and bug fixes. Here are the key highlights:

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!

Shipwright is back with the v0.12.0 release, moving our API from alpha to beta.

Some key points to consider:

• Starting with the v0.12.0 release, a conversion webhook is deployed to provide support for both v1alpha1 and v1beta1 API versions.
• Users are encouraged to adopt the v1beta1 API.
• Support for v1alpha1 will continue for some additional releases. Part of the v1alpha1 API is already deprecated and not available in v1beta1.

Recently, the Shipwright community came together to define a beta API for the Build project with stronger support guarantees. We have come a long way since our launch two years ago, as "a framework for building container images on Kubernetes." During the workshop, the community found itself coming back to a fundamental question, "What is Shipwright?" And more importantly, "What do we want Shipwright to be?"

Shipwright is back with the v0.11.0 release. It is mostly a maintenance release without new features:

• We updated dependencies to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
• We updated our images to be based on the new Red Hat Universal Base Image 9 Minimal.
• We updated build strategy tools as usual. This includes a fix that re-enabled the ko build strategy. Congratulations to them for moving into the own organization. It is a great build tool that we do not just provide a sample for, but also use in our own builds.

Just before cdCon 2022, we are releasing our v0.10 release. But before we look into it, we would like to invite you to join our cdCon sessions. We'll have two interesting presentations and a summit where you can bring every feedback and suggestion that you would like to share with us, and bring all your questions that you want to get answered. See our blog post for more information. See you in Austin or in the virtual space.

Overview​

We are pleased to announce that this year we will be hosting our first Shipwright Community Summit at the cdCon 2022 Conference.

The Shipwright Community Summit brings together our community members and future contributors, or any interested party. During the Community Summit we expect to get closer to you and address any questions you might have related to our Technology, Processes or Community.

If you would be interested to participate on this event, please refer to the next sections.

It goes without saying that we are very excited to meet you.

We are proud to have an Easter present for you: the new Shipwright v0.9.0 release with some really cool features.
