1.8.0: Workloads Overview (Part 1)

• This is just the first release, with a lot more planned for the next release, but I wanted to get this out early to get some early feedback as I iterate and keep improving it. Join me on Discord or send me an email with your suggestions!

🐞 Bugs Fixed

1.7.17: Hotfix for Linux AppImage

🐞 Bugs Fixed

• [Linux] Fixed a regression with AppImage WebKit #324

1.7.16: Sticky Filter + Kubeconfig Changes

😎 Improvements

• Table filters are now 'Sticky', so when you move out and come back, they'll remain active until it's cleared #293
• We changed the way we load multiple kubeconfig files in the same folder. We used to merge them all into a single kubeconfig in memory, but this would cause many issues with duplicate user/cluster names. We know load each kubeconfig individually and expect them to be a complete config file (ie: should contain the context/cluster/user) #315 and #326

🐞 Bugs Fixed

• Fixed an issue where custom kubeconfig locations would be reset on app load
• Fixed an issue where some CRDs would render as an Blank Screen
• [Linux] Fixed an issue where logs would get scrambled #317

• Added a "Port Forward" button shortcut beside each Service/Container Port #321
• The "Shell" shortcut can now be used when the container is not yet in ready state

🐞 Bugs Fixed

• [Windows] Fixed a crash when reading log lines that were poorly handled #318
• [macOS] Fixed a crash on macOS Ventura #320
• Fixed a crash when using OIDC auth method #319

1.7.13: Window Title + 🐞🪲🐛 Fixes

😎 Improvements

• Windows now have a a dynamic title instead of the static "Aptakube", this is particularly useful when you have multiple windows or when using a window manager like Contexts on macOS, but I'm sure Windows has something similar too
• The app starts slightly faster now, but it's mostly noticeable on lower end devices;
• Added a License View to the app settings from where users can switch to a difference license key;
• Added colored status to PV and PVC
• Added an "Open Shell" shortcut to the Pod "Overview" tab #311

1.7.12: Patching

😎 Improvements

• Replaced the error popup with a log streaming message when the container is not ready to start streaming events. This is a temporary improvement until I rebuild the log streaming feature to add a retry until the container is ready.

• Fixed an issue with sub-context menu positioning (closes #305)

• Added a link to the CRD on each custom resource
• Reload environment variables when click the "Refresh" button
• The column resizer on tables is easier to find now
• Moved the namespace to the left

🐞 Bugs Fixed

• [macOS] fixed an issue where some environment variables might not load on startup

1.7.9: Ok, it didn't break much

😎 Improvements

• Switch to a newer crypto library that should be faster and support a wider range of algorithms; As always, if this breaks something please me let me know!

🐞 Bugs Fixed

• fixed an issue where logs could not be downloaded #300
• fixed an issue causing 404 on namespaces with double dash in its name

1.7.8: Will it break? That is the question

😎 Improvements

• [Windows/Linux] Mouse special Forward/Back buttons are now functional! I hope to add support for macOS soon too.
• This release includes an upgrade from Tauri v1 to v2, which is a massive (but mostly invisible) change. While most users are unlikely to notice any difference, there's been a few performance improvements backed in, especially on Linux, which is nice :)
• Aptakube now works on Ubuntu 24.04 and other newer releases #230
• This upgrade also opens the path to a Flatpak and .rpm bundle, alongside the existing .deb and .AppImage, more on that later.

😭 Breaking Changes

• Due to the upgrade to Tauri v2, we had to drop support for older Linux releases. Aptakube is now built with glibc 2.35, meaning that Aptakube won't run on systems with an older version of glibc.
  • I've been testing a Flatpak build for Aptakube which will support systems with older versions of glibc, see #298 if you're interested in trying it out.

If you notice something broken on this release, please reach out. Thank you ☺️
