Hi there, Athenians! Lately our releases have had bugfixes and medium sized features. Not today! This release has a big new feature. We've heard you want more storage backends, so we added an HTTP-based way you can build your own storage backends, without forking or recompiling Athens

We're calling it External Storage 😄 🚀 🎉

If you're interested in building your own external storage drivers, see the docs for details.

Other Changes 🔬

A lot of work went into external storage, but we still had a chance to fix bugs and add other features.

  • If you're hacking on a built-in storage driver, you no longer have to implement storage.Checker - the storage system figures it out for you (0bb95c7)
  • You can now set the Kubernetes deployment strategy right from the Helm chart values.yaml file (cb286fb)
  • If you build your own Athens Docker images, you can specify the version of the base Alpine image (a846766)
  • Athens is now built with Go version 1.14 by default (af0e699)
