### 🚀 How to Keep Your Scaffold Up to Date > _Automate updates with `kubebuilder edit --plugins="autoupdate.kubebuilder.io/v1-alpha"` or run them manually with [`kubebuilder alpha update`](https://kubebuilder.io/reference/commands/alpha_update). If your `PROJECT` file does **not** include `cliVersion`, you may need a one-time manual upgrade, and [`kubebuilder alpha generate`](https://kubebuilder.io/reference/commands/alpha_generate) can fully re-scaffold the project in one step. After that, updates work seamlessly._ ### 🐛 Bug fixes - **(go/v4;deploy-image/v1-alpha)**: Remove `omitempty` from nested struct JSON tags in API scaffolds. #5212 - **(go/v4)**: Fix flaky metrics e2e tests when webhooks are scaffolded. #5204 - **(go/v4)**: Fix Go module download failure caused by invalid filename and retract `v4.10.0`. (#5213, #5216) 🎉 **Thanks to all contributors!** ## What's Changed * 📖 (docs/UI): Book theme customizations by @vitorfloriano in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5187 * 🌱 (fix): Cross platform tests flakes by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5214 * 🐛 (go/v4;deploy-image/v1-alpha): Remove omitempty from nested struct JSON tags in API scaffolds by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5212 * 🐛 (go/v4): Fix flaky metrics e2e tests when webhooks are scaffolded by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5204 * 🐛 Fix Go module download failure caused by invalid filename by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5213 * 🐛 fix(go.mod): Retract v4.10.0 by @vitorfloriano in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5216 * 📖 (docs/helm): Add notes over template/crd directory by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5218 * 🌱 Add comprehensive Go module validation with retract check by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/5217 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/compare/v4.10.0...v4.10.1

## ✨ New Features - **(alpha update command):** Introduce `--force` flag to allow upgrades and create the commit even if conflicts are encountered. Also enables users to resolve conflicts before committing with the conflict markers. ([#4936](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4936)) ## 🐛 Bug Fixes - **(alpha update command):** fix pre-require check when `--to-version` is informed ([#4937](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4937)) - **(go/v4):** Skip webhook test injection if required files or markers are missing, avoiding unnecessary errors during scaffolding or updates by ensuring backwards compatibility with older project versions where e2e tests were not scaffolded due to missing markers. This fix also allows for flexibility in user customisations, as e2e tests are optional. ([#4950](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4950)) - **(go/v4 e2e):** Clean up lingering CertManager `Lease` objects in `kube-system` namespace that are not removed by default ([#4949](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4949)) **Thanks to all our contributors!** 🎉 ## What's Changed * 🐛 (CLI) fix alpha update command to version pre-require check by @mayuka-c in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4937 * ✨ (alpha update command): add --force flag by @vitorfloriano in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4936 * 🐛 (go/v4): gracefully skip webhook test injection if file or markers are missing by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4950 sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4959 * 🐛 (go/v4)(fix): (e2e) delete CertManager leftover leases in kube-system (not cleaned by default) by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4949 **Full Changelog**: [v4.7.0...v4.7.1](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/compare/v4.7.0...v4.7.1)

**changes since [v4.5.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/v4.5.1)** ## ✨ New Features > **Note:** This release includes only minor version updates. * **(go-v4):** Upgraded `controller-runtime` from `v0.20.0` to `v0.20.2` ([#4528](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4528), [#4570](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4570)) * **(go-v4):** Upgraded `controller-gen` from `v0.17.1` to `v0.17.2` ([#4553](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4553)) ## 🐛 Bug Fixes * **(go-v4):** Aligned webhook suite tests with controller suite tests ([#4449](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4449)) * **(go-v4):** Fixed project initialization in directories containing other files. Now, initialization is only prevented for directories with explicitly unwanted files ([#4510](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4510)) * **(go-v4, kustomize/v2, helm/v1-alpha):** Fixed Prometheus integration by adding the `serverName` field to `ServiceMonitor`, ensuring proper certificate validation with the metrics server ([#4536](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4536), [#4558](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4558)) * **(CLI):** Fixed `kubebuilder alpha generate` by using `--repo` information tracked in the `PROJECT` file. Fix generation of projects outside of `GOPATH` ([#4559](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4559)) * **(go-v4, deploy-image/v1-alpha):** Fixed handling of missing boilerplate files by raising a warning instead of failing. Previously, the process would terminate with an error, but it now issues a warning and continues execution ([#4518](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4518)). ## What's Changed * :bug: Make kubebuilder go install-able by @migueleliasweb in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4481 * :bug: (go/v4): Align webhook suite test with controller's suite test by @mateusoliveira43 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4449 * 🌱 : Fix Kubernetes version in the goreleaser by upgrading it from 1.31.0 to 1.32.0 by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4517 * :book: Bump sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v4 from 4.4.0 to 4.5.0 in /docs/book/src/simple-external-plugin-tutorial/testdata/sampleexternalplugin/v1 by @dependabot in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4519 * 🌱 test: add to commmon.sh the latest k8s release 1.32 by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4521 * 🐛 fix: disallow files containing unwanted files when initializing a project by @afzal442 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4510 * ✨ Upgrade controller-runtime from v0.20.0 to v0.20.1 by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4528 * 📖 doc: update the Artifacts with the latest changes on the EnvTest Makefile target configurations by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4520 * :book: bump github.com/spf13/pflag from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6 in /docs/book/src/simple-external-plugin-tutorial/testdata/sampleexternalplugin/v1 by @dependabot in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4531 * :seedling: bump github.com/spf13/pflag from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6 by @dependabot in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4532 * 📖 fix: correct minor typos in documentation by @SaphMB in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4534 * :bug: (go/v4): e2e test: Removed Prometheus dependency by @anshuman-agarwala in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4529 * 🌱 : Add YAML Linting to CI Workflow for Scaffolded Charts by @sarthaksarthak9 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4512 * :book: Remove simplistic advice about multiple controllers reconciling same CR by @alvaroaleman in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4537 * 🌱 ci: fix testdata -

See the [controller-runtime release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/releases/tag/v0.20.0) to learn more about the breaking changes introduced. **(Projects using webhooks):** Controller-runtime removed the deprecated `webhook.Validator` and `webhook.Defaulter` interfaces. Additionally, webhooks should no longer reside under the `api` directory. Kubebuilder projects have not scaffolded webhooks in this directory or used the deprecated interfaces since [v4.3.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v4.3.0). If you are using these interfaces or the legacy `apis` directory for webhooks, please refer to the [v4.3.0 release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v4.3.0), which provide guidance on updating your projects to align with the current standards. To assist with migration or reduce the burden on users, Kubebuilder has introduced a flag option to allow scaffolding webhooks using the new interfaces in the legacy path. For now, you can scaffold webhooks in the legacy path (under `api`) by using the command ` kubebuilder create webhook [OPTIONS] --legacy=true`. For reference, you can look at the [CronJob Tutorial sample webhooks implementation](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/tree/v4.5.0/docs/book/src/cronjob-tutorial/testdata/project/internal/webhook/v1). ## ✨ New Features * **(go-v4):** Upgrade controller-gen from `v0.17.0` to `v0.17.1` ([#4493](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4493)) * **(go-v4):** Upgrade GolangCI Lint from `v1.62.2` to `v1.63.4` ([#4494](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4494)) * **(go-v4):** e2e tests: upgrade cert-manager version used from `v1.16.0` to `v1.16.3` ([#4497](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4497)) * **(go-v4):** e2e tests: follow cert-manager org name changes ([#4505](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4505)) ## 🐛 Bug Fixes * **(CLI)** Ensure minimal golang version `1.23.0` ([#4491](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4491)) * **(helm/alpha-v1):** Fix YAML lint in the ServiceMonitor file ([#4502](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4502)) * **(alpha generate command):** Fix scenario where the output-dir path is not informed; default to the current directory ([#4500](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4500)) * **(alpha generate command):** Allow re-creating projects with webhooks for external-apis ([#4501](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4501)) * **(go-v4):** Use explicit `docker.io` prefix for Docker Hub images ([#4513](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4513)) ## What's Changed * 📖 Add helm-plugin to the summary of available plugins by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4485 * 🐛 Update golang version to 1.23.0 in init validation logic by @dmvolod in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4491 * :book: Bump sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v4 from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0 in /docs/book/src/simple-external-plugin-tutorial/testdata/sampleexternalplugin/v1 by @dependabot in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4488 * ⚠️ Upgrade controller-runtime from v0.19.4 to v0.20.0 and k8s deps from 1.31 to 1.32 by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4492 * ✨ Upgrade controller-gen from v0.17.0 to v0.17.1 by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4493 * ✨ Upgrade GolangCI Lint from v1.62.2 to v1.63.4 by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4494 * ✨ e2e tests: upgrade cert-manager version used from `v1.16.0` to `v1.16.3` by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4497 * 🐛 (helm/alpha-v1): fix yaml lint in the ServiceMonitor file by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4502 * 🌱 CLI: Remove unused doc.go by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4504 * 🐛 fix: kubebuilder alpha generate command to allow re-create projects with webhooks for external-apis by @camilamacedo86 in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4501 * ✨ (go/v4): Follow cert-manager org name changes by @zchee in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4505 * 🌱 (ci): Add GH action to validate generated helm charts for tutorials by @akagami-harsh in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4472 * 🌱 fix: alpha generate command.

**changes since [v4.3.1](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/v4.3.1)** ## ✨ New Features - **(go/v4):** Upgrade golangci-lint from `v1.61.0` to `v1.62.2` ([#4448](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4448)) - **(go/v4):** Add support for go `1.23` ([#4446](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4446)) - **(go/v4):** Upgraded `controller-gen` from `v0.16.4` to `v0.17.0`. ([#4254](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4254), [#4457](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4457)) - **(go/v4):** Upgrade controller-runtime `v0.19.1` to `v0.19.4` ([#4482](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4482)) - **(kustomize/v2)**: Kubebuilder scaffolds rules under `config/rbac` to help cluster admins manage the permissions for their solutions. The comments and explanations added to these scaffolds have been improved. Furthermore, it now includes admin-specific rules to make it easier for cluster admins to work with features like aggregation (e.g., `rbac.authorization.k8s.io/aggregate-to-admin`). [More info](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles). ([#4299](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4299)) - **(go/v4)**: Added configurations for securing Metrics Server and Prometheus integration using TLS and certificates managed by CertManager, enabling users to align their solutions with best practices, enhance security, and achieve production readiness. ([#4243](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4243), [#4312](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4312), [#4400](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4400)) - **(go/v4)**: Added webhook [CertWatcher](https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/certwatcher) and flags for custom certificate configuration [#4429](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4429)) - **(go/v4)**: Ensures that the manager container adheres to [Restricted Pod Security Standards](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/pod-security-standards/) and can operate in namespaces labelled for restricted policies, following best practices. ([#4251](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4251)). - **(go/v4)**: Ensure that e2e test scaffolds will validate that the enforcement is prepared to ensure that all can run as restricted. See that the curl pod to use the metrics was updated and changed ([#4435](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4435)) - **(go/v4):** Improved developer experience and maintainability by updating actions and the Makefile to utilize `go.mod` for Go version management and automating ENVTEST versioning by retrieving the version directly from `go.mod`, based on the `controller-runtime` dependency in use. ([#4385](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4385)) ([#4401](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4401)) - **(helm/v1-alpha):** Introduced the new `helm.kubebuilder.io/v1-alpha` plugin to enable users to distribute solutions using Helm Charts. Example scaffolds are available under [testdata/project-v4-with-plugins/dist/chart](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/tree/master/testdata/project-v4-with-plugins/dist/chart). For further information see its [documentation](link). ([#4227](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4227), [#4315](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4315), [#4350](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4350), [#4351](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4351), [#4356](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4356), [#4357](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4357), [#4371](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4371), [#4377](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4377), [#4383](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4383), [#4380](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4380), [#4373](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4373), [#4386](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4386), [#4375](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4375), [#4388](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4388), [#4406](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4406), [#4399](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4399), [#4419](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4419),[#4451](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4451)). _**IMPORTANT:** The `helm.kubebuilder.io/v1-alpha` is an **experimental initial version**._ - **(go/v4,kustomize/v2):** Add `app.kubernetes.io/name` label to allow more precise configurations ([#4437](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4437)) - **(go/v4):** Standardize the webhook and controller test suites ([#4447](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4447)) - **(go/v4):** Add new makefile target to check and validate the linter config ([#4462](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4462)) - **(go/v4):** Added Hub and Spoke support for conversion webhooks. Developers can now scaffold webhooks for resource conversion more easily. ([#4254](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4254)) **Example:** ```bash # Create API to test conversion from v1 to v2 $ kubebuilder create api --group crew --version v1 --kind FirstMate --controller=true --resource=true --make=false $ kubebuilder create api --group crew --version v2 --kind FirstMate --controller=false --resource=true --make=false $ kubebuilder create webhook --group crew --version v1 --kind FirstMate --conversion --make=false --spoke v2 ``` ## 🐛 Bug Fixes - **(go/v4):** Fixed an issue where GitHub Actions workflows were overwritten by commands, ensuring users can now customize workflows freely without their changes being overridden. ([#4379](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4379)) - **(go/v4):** Resolved linting issues in generated scaffolds. ([#4384](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4384)) - **(kustomize/v2, go/v4):** Fixed CA injection for conversion webhooks. Previously, the CA injection patch was not accurate; The injection should occur only for CRDs, which are conversion types and not for all CRDs when a webhook with `--conversion` option is scaffolded. The issue goes back to release `3.5.0` (_where to replace vars for replacements was done and the `kustomize/v2-alpha` plugin was introduced_). It was not previously found, likely because conversion webhook features were incomplete, which is addressed in this release. Now, users can use the tool to generate the conversion webhooks properly ([#4254](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4254)). ([#4282](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4282)) - **(go/v4):** Ensure that schemas are added before starting EnvTest-based suite tests for webhooks and controllers ([#4466](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/4466)) - **(go/v4):** e2e-tests: cleanup by removing calls to call make generate and manifests
