[in development]

Added

Changed

Deprecated

Removed

Fixed

[v0.0.59] - 2025-10-17

Added

  • Enable storage (PVC) configuration and resizing for the logjuicer component.
  • CLI: add the version subcommand, displaying the current version of the executable.
  • standalone mode: the sf-standalone-owner configMap is annotated with the CLI's version that deployed the resource, and the end time of the deployment. The configMap's data is also set to hold the last applied SoftwareFactory spec.

Changed

  • The Go version in go.mod is bumped to 1.24.6. Backward compatibility with earlier versions is not guaranteed.
  • The purgelogs mount point for the build logs is fixed to use the same location as the logserver.
  • Zuul version bumped to 13.0.0, zuul services will be restarted during upgrade
  • Zookeeper version bumped to 3.9.4
  • Container images based on UBI have been updated. Most of the services will be restarted during the upgrade.
  • Standarized annotations in components (gateway, git_server, hound-search, logjuicer, logserver, weeder, zookeeper, zuul)

Deprecated

Removed

Fixed

  • Fix a few issues with the nodeAffinity setting logic, where the node affinity of a statefulset would only be updated when its annotations are changed; and where it would hang if the statefulset's replicas are set to 0.
  • Fix a race condition in the logserver controller that could cause PVCs to get stuck during operator upgrades or resource updates.

[v0.0.58] - 2025-09-05

Added

  • zuul: the operator now validates that the user provided connections doesn't have any duplicate names.
  • A new defaultStorage.nodeAffinity attribute that can be set to prevent pod from being scheduled to a different host and avoid issue with storage class that doesn't support that.
  • zuul: increased the default executor TerminationGracePeriodSeconds to 2 hours and added a new CR attribute to configure the value through Zuul.Executor.TerminationGracePeriodSeconds.
  • The operator now validates that the user-provided connections do not have any duplicate names.

Changed

  • The logjuicer service is based on a ubi9 base image
  • The logjuicer service uses a persistent volume claim for data storage
  • zookeeper: bumped to 3.9.3
  • httpd-24: bumped to registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/httpd-24:1-350
  • weeder: update ubi9-python-39 container
  • The Zuul label to run gate pipelines changed from gateit to workflow.
  • Container images based on UBI have been updated. Zuul and Nodepool services will be restarted during the upgrade.
  • A new platform discovery mechanism has been added to the Software Factory CLI, allowing it to automatically detect the Kubernetes distribution in use. As a consequence, the OPENSHIFT_USER environment variable is now optional.

Removed

  • The gitlab api token name setting is removed as it is not necessary. The value is always set to Zuul, according to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/212953

Fixed

  • Fix readiness check hanging forever if a statefulset's replica count is set to zero prior to running the "deploy" command.
  • Ensure the trailing '/' when accessing https://<domain>/logjuicer. The web app was failing without the trailing slash.
  • zuul: when the user provides a connection named opendev.org, the operator no longer adds its own Git connection and uses the one provided by the user for accessing zuul-jobs.
  • zuul-capacity: the corporate CA certificate is now part of the CA trust chain if provided.

[v0.0.57] - 2025-04-24

Added

  • zuul: add the BasicAuthSecret parameter for Elasticsearch connections. This parameter allows defining basic auth settings (username and password) and storing them in a secret rather than in plain text in the Software Factory manifest.

Changed

  • Most containers were bumped or modified to use ubi9:latest as their base image, except for git-daemon (using ubi8) and logjuicer (migration still in progress). Incidentally, upgrading to this version will trigger a restart of every pod in a Software Factory deployment.
  • The default CPU limits have been reduced from 2000m to 500m to enable rollout on a smaller cluster.
  • The Go version in go.mod is bumped to 1.24. Backward compatibility with earlier versions is not guaranteed.
  • zuul-* : bumped to 12.0.0

Deprecated

  • zuul: the Password parameter in SMTP connections is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Secrets instead to point to a secret holding the password.

Removed

Fixed

  • The nodepool-sa created using the nodepool create openshiftpods-namespace command now allows the creation of a port-forward so that a Zuul build running on OpenShift can succeed.

[v0.0.56] - 2025-03-20

This release also marks the migration of the sf-operator's CI to https://gateway-cloud-softwarefactory.apps.ocp.cloud.ci.centos.org

Added

  • A new HAS_PROC_MOUNT environment variable is supported to deploy zuul-executor without a privileged context, providing the Kubernetes API supports the ProcMountType feature gate.

Changed

  • zuul-* : bumped to 11.3.0. Updated components will trigger pod rerolls at upgrade.
  • Persistent Volume automatic expansion is no longer performed when the StorageClass does not support it.

Deprecated

Removed

  • cert-manager: dependency removal complete. If you deployed a Software Factory with sf-operator prior to version v0.0.55, please upgrade to v0.0.55 first to ensure the proper removal of dangling cert-manager-related resources.
  • The spec config-location "base-url" attribute is no longer required.

Fixed

[v0.0.55] - 2025-03-03

🥳🎭 Carnival release 🎭🥳

Added

Changed

  • The local certificate infrastructure (certificate authority and certificates) used by ZooKeeper, Zuul, and Zuul-Weeder is managed by the Golang crypto library instead of by the cert-manager API. The associated cert-manager resources will be removed, and the existing certificate infrastructure will be replaced by a newly generated one at upgrade time, which will trigger a restart of the ZooKeeper, Zuul, Nodepool, and Zuul-Weeder components to update their respective configurations. The remaining dependency on the cert-manager operator will be removed in the next release of the sf-operator.

Deprecated

Removed

Fixed

[v0.0.54] - 2025-02-26

Added

  • A new OPENSHIFT_USER environment variable is required to configure the operator to set up OpenShift attributes.

Changed

  • storage: topolvm-provisioner is no longer the default storageClassName; if storageClassName parameters are not set, use the cluster's default storage class for persistent volumes.

Fixed

  • The OpenShift detection logic required the permission to list CRDs; this has been changed to use a new OPENSHIFT_USER environment variable.

[v0.0.53] - 2025-02-19

Added

  • hostAliases: add custom-defined hostAliases - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/network/customize-hosts-file-for-pods/#adding-additional-entries-with-hostaliases

Changed

  • codesearch - re-enable the probe by using the correct endpoint /healthz
  • codesearch - Set 4 indexers instead of 2 by default

Added

  • codesearch: Support for custom memory and CPU limits

Changed

  • codesearch: improved the config-update tasks
