changes since v4.0.0

✨ New Features

• Re-introduces authn/authz protection for the metrics endpoint using WithAuthenticationAndAuthorization provided by controller-runtime. (#4003)

This protection is similar to what was previously done via kube-rbac-proxy, which usage was discontinued in the project. Please, ensure that you no longer use the image gcr.io/kubebuilder/kube-rbac-proxy. ⚠️ Images provided under gcr.io/kubebuilder/All images previously built and promoted will stop being available sometime in early 2025**.

• Upgrade controller-runtime from v0.18.2 to v0.18.4 (#3957) (#3972)
• Add revive golangci linter with comment-spacings rule (#3960)
• (Only relevant for users of Kubebuilder as a library) Allow usage of custom marker names (#3993)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Corrected the generate command to respect the --namespaced=false flag for APIs. (#3970)

🎉 Thanks to all our contributors!
