New Features / UX Improvements

  • HAProxy checking for Kubernetes API /healthz endpoint (#156, @curx)
  • Allow unmarshaling unquoted UIDs from JSON for convenience (#178, @twelho)
  • The VM images based on Ubuntu, CentOS and Amazon Linux can now be built on top of a specific release (#193, @twelho)

Bugfixes

  • Import only /boot and /lib from kernel OCI images, don't overwrite e.g. /etc/resolv.conf (#168, @twelho)
  • The creation timestamp can now be omitted from specification files, it will be added automatically (#174, @twelho)
  • List all VMs instead of just running ones when calling ignite vm ls/list (#179, @twelho)
