Eclipse JKube 1.9 is now available!

On behalf of the Eclipse JKube team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Eclipse JKube 1.9.1 has been released and is now available from Maven Central 🎉.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed with issue reports, pull requests, feedback, and spreading the word with blogs, videos, comments, and so on. We really appreciate your help, keep it up!

What's new?

Without further ado, let's have a look at the most significant updates:

• Based on Fabric8 Kubernetes Client 6.1
• Additional ImageStreamTags allowed in OpenShift S2I builds
• Automatic startup probe definition in Deployments for Quarkus, OpenLiberty, and WildFly
• New generic jkube.imagePullPolicy configuration property
• Initial support for JKube Plugins
• 🐛 Many other bug-fixes and minor improvements

New generic jkube.imagePullPolicy configuration property

Until now, JKube provided several options to configure the image pull policy of Deployments and other kinds of controllers. Starting on v1.9, we've created a new generic jkube.imagePullPolicy property that should be used as the preferred way to set the pull policy for the controllers, regardless of the applicable Enricher.

Using this release

If your project is based on Maven, you just need to add the Kubernetes Maven plugin or the OpenShift Maven plugin to your plugin dependencies:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>
  <artifactId>kubernetes-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.9.1</version>
</plugin>

If your project is based on Gradle, you just need to add the Kubernetes Gradle plugin or the OpenShift Gradle plugin to your plugin dependencies:

plugins {
  id 'org.eclipse.jkube.kubernetes' version '1.9.1'
}
