v1.8.0

kongctl Release Highlights

This release sharpens declarative workflows, expands AI Gateway compatibility, and improves reliability in e2e and update flows.

✨ What's New

• Added external and lookup YAML tag handling, plus a refactor of external processing, giving declarative configs more flexibility.
• Updated the patched Konnect SDK to v0.47 and mapped AI Gateway resources to the new config.route.model shape while preserving legacy alias compatibility.

🐛 Fixes & Improvements

• Declarative plans now honor saved execution modes, and resource updates preserve virtual cluster labels.
• Resource references can now include periods, removing a common naming limitation.
• E2E shard reruns now work across attempts, making repeated test runs more resilient.
