v0.7.0 notably brings greatly improved support for dynamic PersistentVolumes by way of rancher.io/localhost-path integration for clusters with Kubernetes v1.12.X or greater.

It is also worth noting that kind is now committed to IPv6 PR testing and running 80% of the GCE presubmit test cases on Kubernetes Pull Requests.

Breaking Changes

• The default node image is a Kubernetes v1.17.0 image kindest/node:v1.17.0@sha256:9512edae126da271b66b990b6fff768fbb7cd786c7d39e86bdf55906352fdf62
• Node images built with kind v0.7.0 have many improvements and require kind v0.5.0+, images built with older releases should continue to work.
  • To get the new dynamic PV support you must upgrade both kind and your node image(s) to this release or newer. The images are compatible with older releases but only both a newer kind CLI and newer images together will enable the updated PV support.
  • When the new PV support enabled by these versions the default storage class is changed from the previous k8s.io/host-path based implementation.

New Features

• Dynamic PersistentVolume Support is greatly enhanced with rancher.io/localhost-path integration out of the box
• Upgraded dependencies around the board, notably including fixes to the CNI portmap plugin to reduce flakiness
• Documentation Enhancements
  • We have started an effort to comprehensively cover configuration in the docs
  • We have a dedicated guide for using Ingress
  • Added more resources
  • Improved site code, in particular added copyable snippets
  • Other assorted smaller improvements
• Again show one box emoji per node being provisioned

New Node have been Images for kind v0.7.0, please use these exact images (IE like kindest/node:v1.16.4@sha256:b91a2c2317a000f3a783489dfb755064177dbc3a0b2f4147d50f04825d016f55) or build your own as we may need to change the image format again in the future :sweat_smile:

Fixes

• Improved messaging in a number of user facing errors
• Disabled GINKGO_FLAKE_ATTEMPTS when testing
• Fixed local image check
• When the default kubeconfig is empty / non-existent, kind create cluster and kind export kubeconfig will preserve extra fields from kubeadm, notably apiVersion and kind (though they are not strictly necessary...)
• Reduced cruft in base image
