We are excited to announce the release of Shipwright v0.17.0! This release brings a small set of new features, important fixes, and miscellaneous updates that enhance the Shipwright experience.

Build Updates

In this release, we introduced a significant change to the status API for BuildRun objects. Status will now include an executor field indicating the name and kind of object used to execute the build. The taskRunName status field is officially deprecated, but will remain populated. In the future, this API change will let us use other Kubernetes objects to manage the build execution, such as Tekton PipelineRuns, Argo Workflows, and even plain Kubernetes Pods.

  kind: BuildRun
metadata:
  name: buildah-build-x53sd
spec:
  ...
status:
  ...
  executor:
    kind: TaskRun
    name: buildah-build-x53sd-taskrun-43z3f

We also fixed the volume API for Build and BuildRun objects, where empty strings were incorrectly required for VolumeSource fields. This is now marked optional and can be left empty.

The Build project updated is containers to use UBI 10. This ensures we use the latest set of RHEL features in our builds, particularly for dependencies like git.

Finally, we have updated Build to compile with Go 1.24 and utilize the Tekton v1.3 APIs. With this change, the minimum supported Kubernetes version is now v1.31.0. The minimum supported Tekton version is now v0.65.0.

CLI Updates

The CLI adds new commands to list and delete build strategies. To view the build strategies available on the cluster, run the following command:

  shp clusterbuildstrategy list

We also added a --wide option when listing BuildRuns. This lets you see expanded information when viewing BuildRuns in the terminal:

  $ shp buildrun list --wide
NAME                                    STATUS          AGE     SOURCE                                                  OUTPUT-IMAGE                                    BUILD-NAME              ELAPSED-TIME    SOURCE-ORIGIN

buildpack-nodejs-buildrun-gb79r         Succeeded       6d      https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-nodejs          quay.io/satyam16/sample-nodejs:latest           buildpack-nodejs-build  1m26s           Git

Finally, we fixed two important bugs related to the streaming of local source code to Shipwright. The command line should no longer panic if the referenced Build object does not have source information set, nor should the build fail due to file permission issues on the uploaded source code.

Operator Updates

The operator was upgraded to deploy Shipwright Build v0.17.0 components. It also fixes a bug where the operator reported itself “Ready” when the dependent Tekton Pipeline components were not ready.
