Version: 5.14.1

Release Notes

5.14.1 (2024-07-01)​

Additional Notes​

Starting with Gitlab 17, runner registration tokens are no longer supported by default. Applying this version as an upgrade to a pre-existing cluster will require either re-enabling runner registration tokens (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/continuous_integration.html#enable-runner-registrations-tokens) or creating a runner authentication token and updating the gitlab-gitlab-runner-secret secret in the gitlab-runner namespace with the new token (https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/product/packages/gitlab/-/blob/main/docs/gitlab17.md)

If SSO configuration has already been setup manually, disregard this. However, if you are using the new automated SSO configuration features, any crossplane-managed keycloak groups will need to be reassociated to their crossplane object. To do so, find groups that are currently failing by kubectl get groups.group.keycloak.crossplane.io and for any that are Synched = False, you will need to manually get the UUID from keycloak and apply the crossplane.io/external-name: <UUID> annotation to the object.

Package Bug Fixes​

5.11.1 (2024-06-17)​

🚨 Danger 🚨​

This release has a significant refactor in how configmaps/secrets for the Bigbang HR are created. Crossplane will recreate all of the ones Structsure manages which can result in applications temporarily being undeployed.

Afterwards, you can verify configmaps/secrets for the bigbang helm release are present and can unsuspend the helm release.

Package Bug Fixes​
