New Features

Helm 1st-Class Support

We know that for many of our users, they want to deploy existing Helm charts using Argo CD. Up until now that has required you to create an Argo CD app in a Git repo that does nothing but point to that chart. Now you can use a Helm chart repository is the same way as a Git repository.

On top of that, we've improved support for Helm apps. The most common types of Helm hooks such as pre-install and post-install are supported as well as a the delete policy before-hook-creation which makes it easier to work with hooks.

Orphan Resources

Some users would like to make sure that resources in a namespace are managed only by Argo CD. So we've introduced the concept of an "orphan resource" - any resource that is in namespace associated with an app, but not managed by Argo CD. This is enable in the project settings. Once enabled, Argo CD will show in the app view any resources in the app's namepspace that is not mananged by Argo CD.

Sync Windows

There may be instances when you want to control the times during which an Argo CD app can sync. Sync Windows now gives you the capability to create windows of time in which apps are either allowed or denied the ability to sync. This can apply to both manual and auto-sync, or just auto-sync. The windows are configured at the project level and assigned to apps using app name, namespace or cluster. Wildcards are supported for all fields.

New Features

Server Certificate And Known Hosts Management

The Server Certificate And Known Hosts Management feature makes it really easy to connect private Git repositories to Argo CD. Now Argo CD provides UI and CLI which
enables managing certificates and known hosts which are used to access Git repositories. It is also possible to configure both hosts and certificates in a declarative manner using
argocd-ssh-known-hosts-cm and
argocd-tls-certs-cm.yaml config maps.

Self-Healing

The existing Automatic Sync feature allows to automatically apply any new changes in Git to the target Kubernetes cluster. However, Automatic Sync does not cover the case when the
application is out of sync due to the unexpected change in the target cluster. The Self-Healing feature fills this gap. With Self-Healing enabled Argo CD automatically pushes the desired state from Git into the cluster every time when state deviation is detected.

Anonymous access - enable read-only access without authentication to anyone in your organization.

Support for Git LFS enabled repositories - now you can store Helm charts as tar files and enable Git LFS in your repository.

Compact diff view - compact diff summary of the whole application in a single view.

Badge for application status - add badge with the health and sync status of your application into README.md of your deployment repo.

Allow configuring google analytics tracking - use Google Analytics to check how many users are visiting UI or your Argo CD instance.

Backward Incompatible Changes

• Kustomize v1 support is removed. All kustomize charts are built using the same Kustomize version
• Kustomize v2.0.3 upgraded to v3.1.0 . We've noticed one backward incompatible change: kubernetes-sigs/kustomize#42 . Starting v2.1.0 namespace prefix feature works with CRD ( which might cause renaming of generated resource definitions)
• Argo CD config maps must be annotated with app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd label. Make sure to apply updated install.yaml manifest in addition to changing image version.
