Release 1.6.0

Release 1.6.0

Helm charts management

Motivations

Helm has become the de facto package manager of Kubernetes which is the primary container orchestration and running platform now. More and more applications are deployed with helm charts. Obviously, a dedicated helm chart repository is a MUST-HAVE system to build the enterprise IT infrastructure and platforms. Building capabilities to serve the cloud-native environments represented by Kubernetes has already become an inevitable thing. What's more, helm charts should work together with container images and Harbor has rich experiences and many advantages in image management. And then supporting both image management and helm chart management is becoming a natural direction.

Main features
