Key Features and Improvements

  • Support for Kubernetes versions up to 1.31 for Shoots: Kubernetes versions up to 1.31 are now supported for Shoot clusters. See the full list of supported versions.

  • Removed prefix osc-: osc- -prefixes had been removed from mirrored images and are not available anymore.
  • Consistent Versioning for components: Introduced a more consistent versioning scheme for components, including the Scone Service Operator, Scone Services, and related artefacts. This helps in tracking and managing versions more effectively.
  • Improved Documentation: The documentation has been updated to reflect the latest changes, including installation instructions, configuration options, and usage guidelines for the Scone Service Operator and Scone Services.
