1.113.0

important

In KOTS 1.113.0 and later, an installation error can occur if you use the kots install command without specifying a channel slug and the license used to install does not have access to the Stable channel. For more information, see Breaking Change below.

Released on August 9, 2024

Support for Kubernetes: 1.28, 1.29, and 1.30

New Features

• Adds support for multi-channel licenses. This allows each license to be assigned to more than one channel.

  With the introduction of multi-channel licenses, an installation error can occur if you use the kots install command without specifying a channel slug and the license used to install does not have access to the Stable channel. For more information, see Breaking Change below.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue in Embedded Cluster where going back to the Nodes page during the installation and then clicking continue did not work.

Breaking Change

In KOTS 1.113.0 and later, the following error will occur during installation if the kots install command lacks a channel slug and the license does not have access to the Stable channel: "failed to verify and update license: requested channel not found in latest license". This can break existing automation and documentation that includes a kots install command without a channel slug.

This error occurs because, when the channel slug is omitted from the kots install command (for example, kots install app), KOTS defaults to pulling metadata like the application icon and minimal RBAC configurations from the Stable channel. With the introduction of multi-channel licenses in KOTS 1.113.0, only licenses with access to a channel can pull metadata and download releases from that channel. This means that only licenses with access to the Stable channel can install without specifying the channel slug in the kots install command.

Previously, any license regardless of its assigned channel could install by excluding the channel slug from the kots install command. This could cause mismatches in deployment settings such as icons and minimal RBAC configurations because KOTS would pull metadata from the Stable channel and then install the release from the channel where the license was assigned.

Solution: To install a release from a channel other than Stable, specify the channel slug in the kots install command (for example, kots install app/beta). Also, ensure that the license has access to the specified channel. Refer to the Vendor Portal installation instructions or use the replicated channel inspect CHANNEL_ID command in the Replicated CLI for the correct commands.

To avoid breaking changes, update automation that uses the kots install command accordingly. Also, update documentation as needed so that the documented installation commands include the channel slug.

If you cannot update your KOTS installation command immediately, temporarily revert to KOTS 1.112.4 or earlier.

Released on June 2, 2023

Support for Kubernetes: 1.24, 1.25, 1.26 and 1.27

Improvements

• Updates the way custom domains for the Replicated registry and proxy registry are used. If a default or channel-specific custom domain is configured, that custom domain is associated with a release when it is promoted to a channel. KOTS will rewrite images using that custom domain. The replicatedRegistryDomain and proxyRegistryDomain fields in the Application custom resource are deprecated but continue to work to give time to migrate to the new mechanism.
• Updates the rqlite/rqlite image to 7.19.0 to resolve CVE-2023-1255 with medium severity.

1.100.0

Released on May 26, 2023

Support for Kubernetes: 1.24, 1.25, 1.26 and 1.27

New Features

• Adds support for kots.io/creation-phase and kots.io/deletion-phase annotations to control the order in which native Kubernetes resources are created and deleted, respectively. See Deployment Phases in Orchestrating Resource Deployment.
• Adds support for a kots.io/wait-for-ready annotation, which causes KOTS to wait for a native Kubernetes resource to be ready before continuing with the deployment. See Waiting for a Resource to be Ready in Orchestrating Resource Deployment.
• Adds support for a kots.io/wait-for-properties annotation, which causes KOTS to wait for one or more properties to match a desired value before continuing with the deployment. See Wait for Resource Properties in Orchestrating Resource Deployment.

Improvements

• Updates the github.com/cloudflare/circl module to v1.3.3 to resolve CVE-2023-1732 with medium severity.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue where Helm charts deployed using the native Helm installation method were uninstalled then reinstalled when the chart version changed or was updated.
• Fixes an issue in embedded clusters where images from native Helm v2 (Beta) charts were incorrectly removed from the in-cluster registry, potentially leading to failed deployments.
• Bumps the Helm version used by KOTS to 3.12.0 to fix an issue where native Helm installations were failing on Kubernetes 1.27.

1.99.0

Released on May 18, 2023

Support for Kubernetes: 1.24, 1.25, and 1.26

New Features

• Adds a new native Helm v2 installation method (Beta) that leverages the kots.io/v1beta2 HelmChart custom resource. This v2 installation method does a Helm installation or upgrade of your Helm chart without modifying the chart with Kustomize. This is an improvement to the v1 installation method because it results in Helm installations that can be reproduced outside of the app manager, and it enables the use of additional Helm functionality that was not available in v1. See HelmChart v2 (Beta) in the Custom Resources section.

Improvements

• Applies application status informers before deploying the actual resources. This is helpful in cases where deployments take a long time, because the statuses are now available while the deployment happens.
• Updates the replicated/local-volume-provider image to v0.5.3 to resolve CVE-2022-4415 and CVE-2022-3821 with high severity.
• Replace the misleading call-to-action button on the instance snapshot restore modal, which could have mistakenly lead the user to believe the instance restore was initiated.
• Enhances formatting to accommodate lengthy strings for fields such as the application name and config item names.

Known Issue

There is a known issue in the app manager v1.95.0 that causes application upgrades to fail for Helm charts that are deployed using the native Helm installation method. For more information about native Helm, see How Replicated Deploys Helm Charts in About Packaging with Helm.

The upgrade failure occurs for a Helm chart when the following conditions are met:

• The Helm chart in the application has been installed previously using the app manager v1.94.2 or earlier.
• In the HelmChart custom resource for the Helm chart:
  • useHelmInstall is set to true. See useHelmInstall in HelmChart.
  • namespace is set to a value different than the namespace where the app manager is installed. See namespace in HelmChart.

To avoid this known issue, Replicated recommends that you do not upgrade to v1.95.0. To work around this issue in v1.95.0, manually uninstall the affected Helm chart using the Helm CLI, and then redeploy the application using the app manager. See Helm Uninstall in the Helm documentation.

Released on April 8, 2022

Support for Kubernetes: 1.21, 1.22, and 1.23

New Features

• Adds the ability to switch from a community license to a different license for the same application. See Changing a Community License.

Improvements

• The ensure-secret command now creates a new application version, based on the latest version, that adds the Docker Hub image pull secret to all Kubernetes manifests that have images. This avoids Docker Hub's rate limiting.
• CA certificates for snapshot storage endpoints can now be uploaded on the snapshot page of the admin console.
• User sessions expire after 12 hours of inactivity.
• Removes expired sessions from the store in a daily cleanup job.
• Adds a Beta option for vendors to exclude MinIO images from app manager air gap bundles from the download portal. For more information, see MinIO from Air Gap Bundles in the documentation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue where the registry image pull secrets were not applied in the additional namespaces specified by the application in minimal RBAC installations.
• Fixes an issue where some releases could be missed if they were promoted while other releases were being downloaded and semantic versioning was enabled.
• Fixes an issue where the "Select a different file" link did not allow the user to change the selected file on the config page.

1.68.0

Released on April 4, 2022

Support for Kubernetes: 1.21, 1.22, and 1.23

New Features

• Adds the ability to make a KOTS application version required. Required version cannot be skipped during upgrades. See Managing Releases with the Vendor Portal.
• Adds the supportMinimalRBACPrivileges field to the Application custom resource, and adds the --use-minimal-rbac flag to the kots install command. supportMinimalRBACPrivileges indicates that the application supports minimal RBAC, but it will not be used unless the --use-minimal-rbac flag is passed to the kots install command. See supportMinimalRBACPrivileges in the Application custom resource.

Improvements

• Adds pagination to the version history page and improves the admin console API performance.
• Displays on the cluster management page of the admin console the labels applied to nodes in a Kubernetes installer-created cluster.
• The default Troubleshoot analyzers will now specifically call out issues with Envoy/Contour if detected.

• Fixes an issue where NFS snapshots could not be configured when MinIO is enabled in the cluster.
• Fixes an issue where updating the snapshot storage location to NFS or Host Path would incorrectly display a dialog indicating that Velero was not installed and configured properly.
• Fixes an issue that caused wrong metadata to be used at application install time when installing a specific version of an application with the --app-version-label flag.
• Fixes an issue that caused the support bundle analysis and/or redactions to not show up in the Troubleshoot page in the admin console in some cases.
• Fixes an issue where deployments weren't blocked when strict preflight analyzers failed due to parse/process errors.
• Fixes a style bug that caused the grid of metric graphs to be broken when there were more than three graphs.
• Fixes an issue on the config editor page that caused an element to be hidden under the navbar when the corresponding config item was clicked on from the sidebar.
• Fixes an issue where a version that was pulled in via automatic checks and deployed via automatic deployments would not be properly updated on the dashboard version card.
• Fixes an issue where two versions could show as being currently deployed on the version history page when using automatic deployments.
• Fixes an issue where AWS IAM instance roles could not be used when configuring the snapshot storage destination.

1.67.0

Released on March 21, 2022

Support for Kubernetes: 1.21, 1.22, and 1.23

• Extends the ability of status informers to detect if the application is being updated.
• Adds the ability to provide a strict preflight, which cannot be skipped and must not have any failure outcomes. Any failure outcomes will prevent the user from deploying the application. For more information on strict preflights, see Define KOTS Preflight Checks​.
• New versions can automatically be deployed in the admin console, regardless of whether the vendor uses semantic versioning. For more information about automatically deploying new versions, see Configure Automatic Updates​ in Updating an Application.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue that could cause images that are still used by the application to be deleted from the private registry in a Kubernetes installer-created cluster during image garbage collection.
• Fixes an issue where the same license could be installed more than once in some cases.

• Fixes a bug where the warning message sometimes printed incorrectly when a mismatch was detected between the kots CLI version and the version of the admin console that was running in the cluster.
• Fixes a bug where the See details button on the support bundle analysis page did not show any information about an unhealthy pod.
• Allows a user to re-upload a license if the application is not yet installed.
• Allows GitOps to be disabled when it is enabled but has an invalid configuration. Previously, you were required to fix the configuration before disabling GitOps.
