Serving v0.25

🚨 Breaking or Notable Changes

  • Renaming of some net-kourier component

    Related issue: knative/networking#448

    As part of our efforts to GA/1.0 we've standardized on the naming of our networking plugins that are installed alongside Serving. If you're managing your Knative deployment manually with kubectl this will require a two-phase upgrade process. In order to upgrade net-kourier to v0.25.0 using kubectl please follow the steps:

    ```bash
    # Apply the new release
    $ kubectl apply -f net-kourier.yaml
    
    # Once the deployment is ready apply the same file but
    # prune the old resources
    $ kubectl apply -f net-kourier.yaml \
    --prune -l networking.knative.dev/ingress-provider=kourier
    ```
    
    • Disabling namespace certificate provisioning legacy label

    The namespace label networking.internal.knative.dev/disableWildcardCert has been deprecated since v0.15.0 release in favour of networking.knative.dev/disableWildcardCert. We have dropped support for this legacy label (#11626)
