v4.5.0

changes since v4.4.0

⚠️ Breaking Changes

(go-v4): Upgrade controller-runtime from v0.19.4 to v0.20.0 and add support for Kubernetes 1.32 (#4492). See the controller-runtime release notes to learn more about the breaking changes introduced.

(Projects using webhooks):
Controller-runtime removed the deprecated webhook.Validator and webhook.Defaulter interfaces. Additionally, webhooks should no longer reside under the api directory. Kubebuilder projects have not scaffolded webhooks in this directory or used the deprecated interfaces since v4.3.0.

If you are using these interfaces or the legacy apis directory for webhooks, please refer to the v4.3.0 release notes, which provide guidance on updating your projects to align with the current standards.

To assist with migration or reduce the burden on users, Kubebuilder has introduced a flag option to allow scaffolding webhooks using the new interfaces in the legacy path. For now, you can scaffold webhooks in the legacy path (under api) by using the command kubebuilder create webhook [OPTIONS] --legacy=true. For reference, you can look at the CronJob Tutorial sample webhooks implementation.
