Breaking change:

• The settings.configWatcher option has been replaced with configWatcher.enabled: true. Config Watcher now runs as a sidecar container. See possible configuration options on the Helm chart parameters page.
• The default source configuration name was changed from k8s-events to k8s-all-events.
• Default sources bindings for a given channel were changed from k8s-events to k8s-err-events and k8s-recommendation-events.

Bugs:

• Remove the :crossed_fingers: form stop message, see:

  botkube/pkg/controller/controller.go

  Line 29 in 46129cf

  controllerStopMsg = "My watch has ended for cluster '%s'. See you soon! :crossed_fingers:"

  • Problem: it's not properly formatted on Discord (they have :fingers_crossed: 🙄 )
    
  • Fixed in Add Service to the default executor configuration, remove problematic emoji #780
• The version for helm install is not updated on our release docs: https://00d3ca08.botkube-docs-58l.pages.dev/docs/installation/slack/
