Release Notes for starrocks-kubernetes-operator v1.8.5

We are pleased to announce the release of starrocks-kubernetes-operator v1.8.5. This release includes several bug fixes
and enhancements. Here are the key updates:

What's New

1. [Chart] Service Account Customization: The operator now supports to provide the ability to add custom
   annotations and labels. The previous operator.global.rbac.serviceAccountName field is no longer supported.
2. [Operator] Explicit Protocol Selection for Istio: To provide additional functionality such as routing and rich
   metrics, Istio needs to determine the protocol of the traffic. This is now achieved by automatically adding the
   appProtocol field. This enhancement is particularly important for "server-first" protocols like MySQL, which are
   incompatible with automatic protocol detection and may cause connection failures.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed an issue that occurred when starrocks.initPassword.enabled is true and the value
   of starrocks.starrocksCluster.name is set. The FE service domain name would follow the set value, while the initpwd
   pod would still use the starrocks.nameOverride value to compose the FE service domain name. This fix ensures
   consistent hostname usage.

Notes for Deployed Users

If starrocks.starrocksCluster.name is not set, the result of helm template will remain the same as before. If
starrocks.starrocksCluster.name is set and is different from the value of starrocks.nameOverride, the old configmaps
for FE, BE, and CN will be deleted. New configmaps with the new name for FE, BE, and CN will be created. This may
result in the restart of FE/BE/CN pods.

We encourage you to update to this new version and benefit from these improvements. As always, your feedback is very
welcome.
