v1.3.0-rc.0 Pre-release
Pre-release

NOTE: This pre-release version of the Tanzu CLI is recommended if one is expected to install and use any CLI plugin that leverages an experimental feature in to specify how to map the plugin or its command to an alternate location.

Usability improvements in several commands including tanzu plugin list, and tanzu plugin sync user experience.
Versions of plugins discovered via a CLI context will be shown as "Recommended" version in the plugin list.

There are several updates in the area of context management including a repurposed interactive tanzu login command, better handling of kubeconfig file and kube context associated with tanzu CLI contexts and not intuitive command to display active CLI context.

Other enhancements include new CL version detection, support for authenticated plugin registry, experiement support for interacting with Tanzu Hub, and more!

Changes by Kind

Feature

  • Add support for individual plugin download with tanzu plugin download-bundle command (#725, @anujc25)
  • Implement "global initializers" and use them to fix the plugin cache if the central_config.yaml file is missing. (#723, @marckhouzam)
  • On execution, the CLI will notify the user of an available new version of the CLI itself, at most once every 24 hours. (#707, @marckhouzam)
  • Provide a --refresh-configuration-only flag to tanzu plugin download-bundle to allow refreshing the plugin inventory and central configuration without adding any plugins to the air-gap repository. (#728, @marckhouzam)
  • Add experimental support for mapping of a plugin at a command-level (#736, @vuil)
  • Adds experimental functionality to remap in the CLI commands at an entire plugin level. (#687, @vuil)
  • On execution, the CLI will notify the user of an available new version of the CLI itself, at most once every 24 hours. (#707, @marckhouzam)
  • Add support to check if the selected org is Tanzu Application platform enabled. User can skip the TAP scopes validation by setting the environment variable "TANZU_CLI_SKIP_TAP_SCOPES_VALIDATION_ON_TANZU_CONTEXT" to true (#731, @prkalle)
  • Repurpose the deprecated tanzu login command to log in to TAP SaaS (#715, @prkalle)
  • Update the UX for "context use" and "context list" commands to show ProjectID details (#721, @prkalle)
  • Updates to the tanzu plugin list, and tanzu plugin sync user experience. All plugins are installed as standalone plugins. (#698, @anujc25)
  • Add a global initializer to ensure the command-remapping information is properly stored in the catalog cache. (#738, @marckhouzam)
  • Add a new tanzu context current [--short] command to easily show the current context. (#750, @marckhouzam)
  • Add support for the Authenticated Registry to host Tanzu CLI plugin images (#744, @anujc25)
  • Experimental: Configure the Tanzu Hub endpoint when creating the tanzu context (#734, @anujc25)
  • Update kubecontext name associated with tanzu CLI Context when active resource is updated. User can skip this kubecontext name update by setting the environment variable TANZU_CLI_USE_STABLE_KUBE_CONTEXT_NAME to "true" (#746, @prkalle)

Documentation

  • Document the CLI environment variables used for testing (#716, @marckhouzam)
  • Document the user-facing CLI environment variables. (#714, @marckhouzam)
  • Fix generate-all-docs to account for installed plugins with mapped commands. (#752, @vuil)
  • Provide a documentation link when notifying users of the availability of a new CLI version. (#727, @marckhouzam)

Bug or Regression

  • builder plugin: Add empty plugin version validation to the PluginGroup Publishing step (#686, @anujc25)
  • Tanzu CLI doesn't attempt to install Essential plugins for tanzu plugin source commands (#692, @mpanchajanya)
  • Tanzu CLI will only allow boolean true or false feature flag values (#685, @mpanchajanya)
  • The signal handling logic has been refactored and moved to a centralized location for reuse across all use cases. (#735, @chandrareddyp)

Other (Cleanup or Flake)

  • Cleanup essential plugins installation logic (#704, @marckhouzam)
  • Fix the documentation for ActiveHelp (#713, @marckhouzam)
  • Print the reason the CLI aborts even when installing essential plugins (#712, @marckhouzam)
  • Switch the default discovery source registry to projects.packages.broadcom.com.
    For any reason, if the user wants to switch back to the old registry projects.registry.vmware.com, run the following command to update discovery source tanzu plugin source update default -u projects.registry.vmware.com/tanzu_cli/plugins/plugin-inventory:latest. To switch back to the new default registry run the tanzu plugin source init command. (#755, @anujc25)
  • Unless features.global.plugin-override-on-active-context-type is set to true, plugin-level mapping is performed unconditionally, possibly overriding some another existing CLI command group. However, when said flag is set, mapping that would override an existing command is only allowed if the active context's type matches one of the types that this mapping supports. (#753, @vuil)
  • Use internal Kubeconfig file ($HOME/.kube-tanzu/config) instead of default kubeconfig to store kubecontext for TAP SaaS (#747, @prkalle)
  • Update test central repo with some test Central Configuration (#700, @marckhouzam)
  • Update the UX for "context use" and "context list" commands to show ProjectID details (#721, @prkalle)
  • Updates to tanzu plugin list, and tanzu plugin sync user experience. All plugins are installed as standalone plugins. (#698, @anujc25)
  • Add crd package build script, and e2e tests for deploying built package (#672, @vuil)
  • Add support to check if the selected org is Tanzu Application platform enabled. User can skip the TAP scopes validation by setting the environment variable "TANZU_CLI_SKIP_TAP_SCOPES_VALIDATION_ON_TANZU_CONTEXT" to true (#731, @prkalle)
  • Add the new target operations (#679, @anujc25)
  • Allow turning off go's buildvcs when building the CLI. (#743, @marckhouzam)
  • Associate TMC endpoint (tanzuMissionControlEndpoint) with AdditionalMetadata of Tanzu Context (#680, @anujc25)
  • Fixed the tanzu context missing TMC endpoint details in context additionalMetadata and also add support to update the context with projectID along with project name (#708, @prkalle)
  • Ignore command PreRun logic for the tanzu context get-token command (#754, @prkalle)
  • More unit tests (#732, @marckhouzam)

v1.3.0-alpha.3 Pre-release
Pre-release

NOTE: This pre-release version of the Tanzu CLI is recommended if one is expected to install and use any CLI plugin that leverages an experimental feature in v1.3.0-alpha.1 version of the tanzu plugin runtime to specify how to map the plugin's command to an alternate location. New in alpha.3 is that the CLI now supports mapping not just the entire group of commands of the plugin, but specific subcommands as well.

Usability improvements in several commands including tanzu plugin list, and tanzu plugin sync user experience.
Versions of plugins discovered via a CLI context will be shown as "Recommended" version in the plugin list.

Last but not least, user of the previous alpha.2 pre-release should receive a notitification to update to a this release.
This update notication will become a mainstay in future pre-releases and releases as well.

NOTE: This pre-release version of the Tanzu CLI is recommended if one is expected to install and use any CLI plugin that leverages an experimental feature in v1.3.0-alpha.1 version of the tanzu plugin runtime to specific how to map the plugin's command to an alternate location.

This release is also required to interact with tanzu-type contexts connecting to environment that exposes both Project names and IDs.

Last but not least, this release lays the groundwork for receiving CLI metadata update between CLI releases. In particular, users with at least 1.3.0-alpha.2 version of the CLI installed may now receive a message to upgraded to a new CLI version should one become available.

v1.2.0

This release brings you:

  • Interactive login for TAP SaaS through Cloud Services, including support for CLI environments with no web browser support. What used to take a dozen steps and the user interacting directly with the Cloud Services UI can now be accomplished with a single command.
  • Support for the arm64 architecture for Windows (starting with Windows 11).
    • Reminder: Unlike for Windows and Darwin (Mac), the Linux CLI binary for arm64 is only available as part of the release to allow testing plugins built for arm64. This build is not yet meant for production and is therefore marked as “unstable”.
  • Usability improvements including but not limited to:
    • 30% size reduction of the tanzu binary by removing debug symbols
    • 30% size reduction of plugins built using the builder plugin v1.2.0
      Note: If you need to re-enable debug symbols for your plugin binary, please refer to this documentation.
    • use of a spinner when downloading plugins to indicate progress
    • improved responsiveness for plugin life-cycle commands through enhanced caching
    • automatic daily check and installation of any updated Essential Plugins
    • hiding of a target subcommand (kubernetes or mission-control) that does not have any plugins installed
    • proper sorting of all output
  • Various bug fixes and optimizations made on top of the 1.1 release.

instructions.

For installing the Tanzu CLI through various package managers, please follow the appropriate "Installing a Pre-Release" sections on the same page.

Changes by Kind

✨ Feature

  • Add interactive(browser) login support for 'tanzu' context creation (#627, @prkalle)
  • Add support to install the Windows ARM64 CLI through Chocolatey. (#617, @marckhouzam)
  • Allow building the CLI for Windows ARM64. (#610, @marckhouzam)
  • Allow to install all plugins on Windows 11 running on ARM64 by installing the AMD64 version if the ARM64 version of the plugin is not available. (#615, @marckhouzam)
  • Improve CLI responsiveness for plugin life-cycle commands by introducing a time-to-live of 30 minutes for the plugin inventory cache (can be changed through the environment variable TANZU_CLI_PLUGIN_DB_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS). To force a plugin inventory cache refresh the tanzu plugin source init command can be used. (#605, @marckhouzam)
  • Reduce binary size by around 30% by building CLI and plugins without debug symbols. (#596, @marckhouzam)
  • Setup shell completion when installing with Chocolatey (#614, @marckhouzam)

v1.1.0

This release brings you:

  • Support for the arm64 architecture for Darwin (Mac)
    • Note: Unlike for Darwin, the Linux CLI binary for arm64 is only available as part of the release to allow testing plugins built for arm64. This build is not yet meant for production and is therefore marked as “unstable”.
  • UX improvements including dynamic shell completion for core CLI commands arguments and flag values
  • Bug fixes and optimizations made on top of the 1.0 release
  • Improvements in CLI context management including support for a new variant of kubernetes-based context which integrates with Cloud Services, one-way syncing of kubeconfig on context switch

Tanzu CLI Installation Instructions

If you are installing Tanzu CLI using the artifacts published as part of this release, please follow the instructions.

  • Add ActiveHelp to shell completion when no completions are suggested. (#552, @marckhouzam)

Context management

  1. Decouples plugin target from the type of CLI Context
  2. Syncs active context in kubeconfig on CLI context switch
  3. Supports new 'tanzu' context type

Note: The "tanzu" context type is being released to provide advance support for the development
and release of new services (and CLI plugins) which extend and combine features provided by
individual tanzu components.

  • Add support to create tanzu context type (#487, @prkalle)
  • Adjust examples for "context create" (#517, @marckhouzam)
  • Decouple the Target association with the Context commands
    • The --target flag is deprecated over the newly introduced --type flag for the tanzu context list and tanzu context unset commands (#524, @anujc25)
  • Delete the kubeconfig pertained to the CLI context during "tanzu context delete" command execution. It is only applied for TAE context type deletion. (#542, @prkalle)
  • Ensure the kubernetes and tanzu current contexts are mutual exclusive (#523, @prkalle)
  • Support multi-file KUBECONFIG path in context creation and updated kubeconfig file path to use default kubeconfig path instead of $HOME/.kube-tanzu/config while creating context for TKG pinniped endpoint (#535, @prkalle)
  • Update "tanzu context create --type" UX to align "--type" options with other commands (#539, @prkalle)
  • tanzu context use of a Context that references a kubeconfig will also update the current context of the kubeconfig referenced (#505, @vuil)

  • The tanzu contex create functionality updated, after context create, it performs the sync operation only for the newly created context, not for all active contexts.
  • The tanzu context use functionality updated, after activating the given context, it performs the sync operation only for the newly activated context, do not perform sync for all active contexts. (#521, @chandrareddyp)
  • The tanzu context use and tanzu context create commands' UX have been updated to list the plugins they're going to install. (#563, @chandrareddyp)
  • The "tanzu" context type is being released to provide advance support for the development and release of new services (and CLI plugins) which extend and combine features provided by individual tanzu components. (#586, @marckhouzam)
