This release comes with minor usability improvements and features.
* A new 'lookupIPAddr' template function is available for resolving
DNS A records in templates. Thanks to @landro for the pull request!
* Handling of "non-standard" resource set structures has been improved
to result in better error messages and behaviour in several places.
Release binaries are signed with GPG key `66F505681DB8F43B` which is
verified on my Github profile.
--------------
Note: This is the last Kontemplate release that will be written in Go.
Rob Pike's art project has proven its point but I believe it is
ethically questionable and morally indefensible to continue on this
path.
You can track #72 for the Rust-rewrite of Kontemplate.
This release comes with some new features, usability improvements and
a better build & release process.
Features:
* Documentation has been improved significantly, check out the new
[README][] and follow the links within!
* Extra variables can now be loaded from files on disk. Simply specify
a list of YAML/JSON files under the 'import' key in your cluster
context file. Check out #66 for details!
* Resource set paths can now be overridden by users. By default it is
assumed that the path to a resource set is the same as its name,
however this is now user-controllable.
This means the same resource set can be included multiple times
under different names, for easier including/excluding. See #71 for
details!
* Kontemplate is currently getting a website that is under construction
at [kontemplate.works][] - feel free to check it out and
[give feedback][]!
Fixes:
* Windows release binaries now have the correct filename
* Several potential warning and error messages have been improved

Instead of signing the binary and adding the signature in the release
tarball, keep the GPG-signatures *outside* of the tarball.
This makes it easier to use the built-in GPG-signature verification
features of package managers such as pacman.
This release features some cleanup and under-the-hood changes, as well
as "ecosystem-features" that don't directly affect the way Kontemplate
itself functions.
* Resource-sets are now passed on to kubectl in individual
invocations. This means that kubectl errors can be scoped to
individual resource set files and issues such as #51 are less of a
problem.
* A Dockerfile is provided and published at `tazjin:kontemplate` on
Docker Hub. This image contains `kontemplate`, `kubectl` and `pass`
and can be used - for example - as an image for a step in a CI
system.
* Kontemplate is now available on Homebrew, check the README for
installation instructions.
* If different resource sets don't contain `---` separators in YAML,
`kubectl` calls will no longer fail. (#51)
* Autocompleted trailing slashes in shells are now filtered from
include & exclude lists to enhance the CLI experience slightly.
