Changelog entry for 1.8.0
This is the changelog for the Flux daemon; the changelog for the Helm
operator is in [./CHANGELOG-helmop.md](./CHANGELOG-helmop.md).
-## 1.x.x (unreleased)
+## 1.8.0 (2018-10-24)
+
+This release includes a change to how image registries are scanned for
+metadata, which should reduce the amount of polling, while being
+sensitive to image metadata that changes frequently, as well as
+respecting throttling.
### Fixes
-- ..
+- Better chance of a graceful shutdown on signals
+ [weaveworks/flux#1438](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1438)
+- Take more notice of possible errors
+ [weaveworks/flux#1432](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1432)
+ and
+ [weaveworks/flux#1433](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1433)
+- Report the problematic string when failing to parse an image ref
+ [weaveworks/flux#1407](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1433)
### Improvements
-- ..
+- Apply CustomResourceDefinition manifests ahead of (most) other kinds
+ of resource, since there will likely be other things that depend on
+ the definition (e.g., the custom resources themselves)
+ [weaveworks/flux#1429](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1429)
+- Add `--git-timeout` flag for setting the default timeout for git
+ operations (useful e.g., if you know `git clone` will take a long
+ time)
+ [weaveworks/flux#1416](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1416)
+- `fluxctl list-controllers` now has an alias `fluxctl
+ list-workloads` [weaveworks/flux#1425](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1425)
+- Adapt the sampling rate for image metadata, and back off when
+ throttled
+ [weaveworks/flux#1354](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1354)
+- The detailed rollout status of workloads is now reported in the API
+ (NB this is not yet used in the command-line tool)
+ [weaveworks/flux#1380](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/1380)
