What's New in Version 0.3.79

This section contains information about the new features and changes in the Management Console introduced in version 0.3.79.

Welcome to Management Console version 0.3.79! In this release we have enriched our tutorials with images and implemented a lightbox for better image viewing. We’ve also automated the conversion of images to webp format, which significantly reduces installer size. Further changes include an update of our tools to their latest versions and an update of package identifiers that allows for more packages in the same category. Please note that this will require an update of the Management Companion. Lastly, we’ve added backend support for retrieving Kubernetes secrets, enhancing the overall functionality and usability of the Management Console.

Tutorials Enhancement

We’ve added missing tutorials and supplemented all our tutorials with images, making them more understandable and engaging. To improve the user experience, we implemented a lightbox feature for images, allowing users to view images in a larger, centered overlay.

To save installer size, we’ve automated the conversion of images to webp format. This change significantly reduces the overall size of our installer, making the Management Console more accessible and easier to install.

Tools Update

We’ve updated our tools - k3d, helm, and kubectl - to their latest versions. This ensures that our Management Console is always equipped with the latest functionalities and security patches provided by these tools.

Package Identifiers Update

We’ve updated the identifiers for kafka messages, allowing for more messages in the same category. This change will require an update of the Management Companion.
