Aster v1.0.2

What's new

Live pod resource usage

• Pod tables and pod detail pages now show live CPU and memory usage with usage charts.

Empty-state guidance

• When no Kubernetes contexts are found, the picker now offers an Open Settings action that jumps straight to the kubeconfig section, and reloads contexts automatically when you return.

Fixes

• The empty-state icon is centered again inside its badge.
• The updater's "What's changed" link now opens the release page in the system browser instead of an in-app window.
• Fixed a crash when no kubeconfig was found in the standard chain (empty source list is now serialized as [] instead of null).

Aster v1.0.1

What's new

Kubeconfig conflict detection & resolution

• Aster now detects when several configured kubeconfig sources define the same context or cluster name with different content, and marks the affected context in the picker with a one-line warning (hover shows which server wins and from which file).
• Clicking the warning opens a dialog listing each colliding entry with a Rename in file action: the colliding entry is renamed inside the source kubeconfig file, in-file references are updated (contexts pointing at a renamed cluster, current-context), and the original is preserved once as <file>.aster.bak.

Review dry-runs as a diff

• Mutation dry-runs (scale, edit, delete, create) are now reviewed as a GitHub-style unified diff with word-level highlights instead of a plain YAML preview.
• Server-managed fields (generation, resourceVersion) are filtered out of the review so only real changes show.
• Applying a mutation now presents the resourceVersion the dry-run ran against, avoiding conflicts against stale list snapshots.

Fixes

• Selecting a context in the picker restores that context's namespace instead of clearing the filter.

Aster v1.0.0

Aster 1.0.0 is the first public release — a fast, local-first Kubernetes desktop workbench.

What's new

Native desktop shell

• Built on Tauri 2 (Rust) with a loopback-only Go sidecar. Credentials, kubeconfig contents, and the sidecar token never reach the renderer — the UI talks to a typed, allowlisted API.

Cluster navigation

• Discover kubeconfig contexts from multiple sources and switch between them from a single picker.
• Browse and watch Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, ConfigMaps, Pods, and more with server-side pagination and virtualized tables that stay responsive on huge clusters.
• Inspect sanitized resource details with YAML, Events, and Related objects.

Inspection

• Stream bounded Pod logs with live following.
• Run constrained one-shot terminal commands in a Pod — no persistent shell.
• Overview and workload log surfaces for fast diagnosis.

Reviewed mutations

• Scale, edit, delete, and create run through server-side dry-run with a semantic diff, resource-version checks, and explicit Apply.
• Helm release list, detail, uninstall, and rollback.

Design

• Achromatic, keyboard-first macOS-native workbench with light, dark, and system appearance.
• ⌘K command palette: jump to actions, contexts, resources, namespaces, and theme switching without leaving the keyboard.
