v1.8.0

We're excited to release VelaUX v1.8 here. Thanks, great work from all contributors!

In this release, we focus on several new key features, including plugin framework, canary-rollout, new layout, etc.

Highlight features of VelaUX v1.8

Simplified architecture

VelaUX has only one component named velaux-server now. The server is the runtime of the UI and provides many APIs.

Plugin framework

We launch a new feature to support developers in customizing the platform. It is the VelaUX plugin. Now, this feature is beta.

Here is a guide to developing the plugin: https://github.com/kubevela/velaux/blob/main/docs/contributing/how-to-build-plugin.md

Canary Rollout

VelaUX could guide users to create a canary rollout workflow to deploy the application to any environment.

New Layout

Launch a new layout that includes many workspaces, including:

• Continuous Delivery
• Extensions
• Admin Dashboard
