v1.22.0: fix pruning of changes and notices, TLS infra

In addition to a fix for how old changes and notices are pruned, this release adds support for identity keys, TLS key pairs, and basic HTTPS support for the pebble run server. Note that at this point the TLS features are primarily behind-the-scenes changes intended for projects that use Pebble -- you can use Pebble itself over HTTPS with curl -k, but not properly with domain/certificate verification.

What's Changed

• feat(idkey): add identity key [1/4]in #605
• feat(tls): add TLS keypair manager [2/4] in #596
• feat(https): add https API server [3/4] in #599
• feat(client): add TLS and basic auth support [4/4] in #604
• feat: add https-address to /v1/system-info response in #622
• fix: when pruning changes preserve referential integrity for notices in #613
• test: fix tests when run on timezones west of UTC in #616
• docs: document how to check health based on logs in #607
• docs: page auto and system dark mode in #617

v1.19.1: fix to prune notices along with changes

This patch release includes #613, a fix to also prune notices when pruning changes, keeping referential integrity within the state JSON.

v1.20.0: PEBBLE_VERBOSE, pebble check --refresh, Go 1.24

This release adds several new features:

• PEBBLE_VERBOSE to enable pebble run or pebble enter's verbose mode with an environment variable instead of only the command-line option. This is equivalent to --verbose, but for when you don't have the ability to modify the command line. #576
• The pebble check command, with a --refresh option to run a health check immediately. This is useful for diagnosing an individual check. #574 and #577
• A new plan section called workloads, primarily for projects that import Pebble. #571

The release also fixes a panic in HTTP-based health checks with invalid URLs (#580), and adds several documentation and testing improvements.

This release also updates the Go version to Go 1.24 now that 1.22 is end-of-life. #585

Full Changelog: v1.19.0...v1.20.0

v1.19.0: metrics endpoint, basic auth, start/stop checks

This is a minor release with some useful new features:

• A startup field for checks, and the ability to start and stop checks (#560)
• A new basic type identity for Basic HTTP authentication (#563)
• A metrics endpoint at /v1/metrics in OpenMetrics/Prometheus format, providing metrics for services and checks (#519)

Full Changelog: v1.18.0...v1.19.0

v1.18.0: ExternalMode, UID-only form

This release adds a few minor features:

• ExternalMode reboot, added by @anpep in #529.
• Support UID-only form in NormalizeUidGid for services and exec, added by @james-garner-canonical in #553. This was James' first contribution to Pebble -- thanks!

In addition, @IronCore864 refactored client code and tests to use the Requester interface in #549

This release also includes many documentation improvements from @IronCore864 and @dwilding. See our documentation site.

Full Changelog: v1.17.0...v1.18.0

v1.17.0: restart services that fail within 1s "okay delay", and more

The main user-facing feature this release adds is that Pebble will now auto-restart services that fail to start within the 1-second "okay delay" time window. Previously the user would have to re-start these manually. The API (and CLI) still returns an error in this case, with a message indicating it will restart, for example "service start attempt: exited quickly with code 1, will restart".

The release also adds support for customisable plan sections (for projects that import and build on top of Pebble).

It also fixes several bugs, including a panic during start with certain configurations.
