v1.0.2 is out!

[jotak]

Release highlights

There are many improvements in this release, biggest highlights are the introduction of histograms to help navigating in the traffic table, added self-monitoring capabilities via Prometheus alerts, and raising the operator capability level to "Seamless Upgrades" thanks to adding a conversion webhook, that introduces a new version of the CRD, v1beta1. Note that there are no breaking changes in CRD yet, but some might come in a future v1beta2.

There were also changes in flowlogs-pipeline that are not visible yet when using this operator, but that should be integrated sooner or later (or that you can get if using flowlogs-pipeline as a standalone): more work on connection tracking, new jsonnet-based dashboard generation, and a new IPFIX exporter.

Fixed CVE

On the security side, we have fixed an important CVE, so you should install this update if you were using an older version.
