 # Changelog

-## 0.41.1
-
-**Release date:** 2025-06-13
-
-This patch release comes with a fix for the `knownhosts: key mismatch` error.
-
-Fixes:
- Fix `knownhosts key mismatch` regression bug
-  [#923](https://github.com/fluxcd/image-automation-controller/pull/923)
- Upgrade dependencies (includes `github.com/go-git/go-git/v5` `v5.16.2`)
-  [#919](https://github.com/fluxcd/image-automation-controller/pull/919)
-
-## 0.41.0
-
-**Release date:** 2025-05-28
-
-This prerelease comes with support for updating image digests, for
-configuring mTLS with HTTPS Git repositories, and with caching Git
-provider access tokens.
-
-ImagePolicy API now supports reflecting image digests in-cluster. By
-integrating with this feature the ImageUpdateAutomation API can now
-update image digests in YAML manifests. See this
-[guide](https://fluxcd.io/flux/guides/image-update/#digest-pinning)
-for more details.
-
-The controller now caches Git provider access tokens by default.
-This behavior can be disabled or fine-tuned by adjusting the
-token cache controller flags (see
-[docs](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/image/options/#image-automation-flags)).
-The token cache also exposes metrics that are documented
-[here](https://fluxcd.io/flux/monitoring/metrics/#controller-metrics).
-
-For configuring mTLS with HTTPS Git repositories see the GitRepository
-[docs](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/source/gitrepositories/#secret-reference).
-
-In addition, the Kubernetes dependencies have been updated to v1.33
-and various other controller dependencies have been updated to their latest
-version. The controller is now built with Go 1.24.
-
-Fixes:
- Fix tag parsing logic misinterpreting host:port registry url
-  [#893](https://github.com/fluxcd/image-automation-controller/pull/893)
-

-## 0.38.0
-
-**Release date:** 2024-05-06
-
-This prerelease graduates the `ImageUpdateAutomation` API to v1beta2.
-
-### `image.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2`
-
-After upgrading the controller to v0.38.0, please update the
-`ImageUpdateAutomation` **Custom Resources** in Git by replacing
-`image.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1` with `image.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2` in all
-YAML manifests. Bumping the API version in manifests can be done gradually. It
-is advised not to delay this procedure as the `v1beta1` version will be removed
-after 6 months.
-
-### Highlights
-
-#### New API specification format
-
-[The specification for the `v1beta2`
-API](https://github.com/fluxcd/image-automation-controller/tree/v0.38.0/docs/spec/v1beta2)
-has been written in a new format with the aim to be more valuable to a user.
-Featuring separate sections with examples, and information on how to write and
-work with them.
-
-#### New template data `Changed` and deprecation of `Updated`
-
-A new Git commit message template data named `Changed` is introduced to replace
-`Updated` template data. `Changed` is designed to accommodate for all the types
-of updates made by ImaegUpdateAutomation, unlike only full image reference
-updates captured by `Updated`. The message template can now be used to render
-the old and new values for better presentation of the updates. For example:
-
-```
-Automation: default/test-update-auto
-
- File: foo-deployment.yaml
-  - Object: Deployment/default/foo
-    Changes:
-    - 2.2.2 -> 5.0.3
-
- File: podinfo-deployment.yaml
-  - Object: Deployment/default/infopod
-    Changes:
-    - v1.0 -> 5.0.3
-  - Object: Deployment/default/podinfo
-    Changes:
-    - ghcr.io/stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.6 -> ghcr.io/stefanprodan/podinfo:5.0.3
-    - bar -> ghcr.io/stefanprodan/podinfo
-    - 4.0.6 -> 5.0.3
-```
-
-`Updated` template data is deprecated, but is still available in the message
-template, for existing users. It is recommended to migrate to `Changed` template
-data. See the new API specification docs for details about the new template
-data.
-
-#### ImagePolicy selector support
-
-`ImageUpdateAutomation` now supports selecting `ImagePolicies` using label
-selectors in the new field `.spec.policySelector`. For example:
-
-```yaml
-apiVersion: image.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
-kind: ImageUpdateAutomation
-metadata:
-  name: update-app
-spec:
-  policySelector:
-    matchLabels:
-      app.kubernetes.io/component: foo
-      app.kubernetes.io/instance: bar
-  ...
-```
-
-See the new API specification docs for details and more examples.
-
-#### short-circuit reconciliations
-
-For same push branch and checkout branch, the controller now checks with the
-remote Git repository if there's any new commit and the image policies for any
-new latest image before performing full reconciliation, otherwise the
-reconciliation returns early. This helps avoid cloning the Git repository every
-reconciliation even when there is no new change.
-
-#### Enhancements in events and notifications
-
-The events and notifications have been improved to provide better information.
-Notifications are sent for: initial successful reconciliation, update
-pushes, failures and successful failure recovery.
-
-
-In addition, the controller is now built with Go 1.22, the Kubernetes
-dependencies have been updated to v1.30.0, and various other dependencies have
-been updated to their latest version.

-## 0.36.0
-
-**Release date:** 2023-08-23
-
-This prerelease introduces a new field `.spec.git.push.refspec` to the
-ImageUpdateAutomation API. This field can be used to make the controller push
-the commits it makes using a specific refspec. It also improves compatibility
-with Gerrit. For more details, check the [documentation](https://github.com/fluxcd/image-automation-controller/blob/v0.36.0/docs/spec/v1beta1/imageupdateautomations.md#gerrit).
-
-Additionally, a new field `.spec.git.push.options` has been added to the
-ImageUpdateAutomation API for specifying the [push options](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#Documentation/git-push.txt---push-optionltoptiongt)
-to be sent to the Git server when performing a push operation.
-
-From this release on, the controller also stops exporting an object's metrics
-as soon as the object has been deleted.
-
-Lastly, it adds support for using the referred GitRepository's
-`.spec.proxySecretRef` field for all remote Git operations related to the
-object.

-#### Gerrit
-
-[Gerrit](https://www.gerritcodereview.com/) operates differently from a
-standard Git server. Rather than sending individual commits to a branch,
-all changes are bundled into a single commit. This commit requires a distinct
-identifier separate from the commit SHA. Additionally, instead of initiating
-a Pull Request between branches, the commit is pushed using a refspec:
-`HEAD:refs/for/main`.
-
-As the image-automation-controller is primarily designed to work with
-standard Git servers, these special characteristics necessitate a few
-workarounds. The following is an example configuration that works
-well with Gerrit:
-
-```yaml
-spec:
-  git:
-    checkout:
-      ref:
-        branch: main
-    commit:
-      author:
-        email: flux@localdomain
-        name: flux
-      messageTemplate: |
-        Perform automatic image update
-
-        Automation name: {{ .AutomationObject }}
-
-        Files:
-        {{ range $filename, $_ := .Updated.Files -}}
-        - {{ $filename }}
-        {{ end }}
-        Objects:
-        {{ range $resource, $_ := .Updated.Objects -}}
-        - {{ $resource.Kind }} {{ $resource.Name }}
-        {{ end }}
-        Images:
-        {{ range .Updated.Images -}}
-        - {{ . }}
-        {{ end }}
-        {{- $ChangeId := .AutomationObject -}}
-        {{- $ChangeId = printf "%s%s" $ChangeId ( .Updated.Files | toString ) -}}
-        {{- $ChangeId = printf "%s%s" $ChangeId ( .Updated.Objects | toString ) -}}
-        {{- $ChangeId = printf "%s%s" $ChangeId ( .Updated.Images | toString ) }}
-        Change-Id: {{ printf "I%s" ( sha256sum $ChangeId | trunc 40 ) }}
-    push:
-      branch: auto
-      refspec: refs/heads/auto:refs/heads/main
-```
-
-This instructs the image-automation-controller to clone the repository using the
-`main` branch but execute its update logic and commit with the provided message
-template on the `auto` branch. Commits are then pushed to the `auto` branch,
-followed by pushing the `HEAD` of the `auto` branch to the `HEAD` of the remote
-`main` branch. The message template ensures the inclusion of a [Change-Id](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/concept-changes.html#change-id)
-at the bottom of the commit message.
-
-The initial branch push aims to prevent multiple
-[Patch Sets](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/concept-patch-sets.html).
-If we exclude `.push.branch` and only specify
-`.push.refspec: refs/heads/main:refs/heads/main`, the desired [Change](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/concept-changes.html)
-can be created as intended. However, when the controller freshly clones the
-`main` branch while a Change is open, it executes its update logic on `main`,
-leading to new commits being pushed with the same changes to the existing open
-Change. Specifying `.push.branch` circumvents this by instructing the controller
-to apply the update logic to the `auto` branch, already containing the desired
-commit. This approach is also recommended in the
-[Gerrit documentation](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/intro-gerrit-walkthrough-github.html#create-change).
-
-Another thing to note is the syntax of `.push.refspec`. Instead of it being
-`HEAD:refs/for/main`, commonly used by Gerrit users, we specify the full
-refname `refs/heads/auto` in the source part of the refpsec.
-
-**Note:** A known limitation of using the image-automation-controller with
-Gerrit involves handling multiple concurrent Changes. This is due to the
-calculation of the Change-Id, relying on factors like file names and image
-tags. If the controller introduces a new file or modifies a previously updated
-image tag to a different one, it leads to a distinct Change-Id for the commit.
-Consequently, this action will trigger the creation of an additional Change,
-even when an existing Change containing outdated modifications remains open.
