pre-v0.5.0

⚠️ Pre-release notes

After switching to this version, update the CRDs — helm upgrade never touches them:

kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -k "https://github.com/kaasops/vector-operator/config/crd?ref=pre-v0.5.0"

With old CRDs the operator stays broken on Kubernetes ≥1.36: the previous format: int32 on the pipeline hash status field (#232) makes status updates fail for roughly half of all pipelines, and those pipelines are silently dropped from the generated vector config.

The Helm repository does not publish charts for pre-releases — install from source:

git clone --branch pre-v0.5.0 https://github.com/kaasops/vector-operator.git && cd vector-operator
kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -k config/crd
helm install vector-operator helm/charts/vector-operator -n NAMESPACE --set image.tag=pre-v0.5.0
