Jumpstarter v0.8.1 — Release notes

This release begins with version v0.8.1, as version v0.8.0 was accidentally released previously and cannot be undone.

What's new

  • Operator-first installation: Helm-based service installs are now deprecated; operator installs are the recommended and supported path for production and new environments.
  • OCI-based flashing improvements: Improved oci:// handling, private registry authentication, and more robust remote flashing behavior with retries and timeouts.
  • Sparse and partition workflows: Improved sparse image support; through fls and fastboot, the flashers and ridesx4 drivers can now flash sparse images (simg) encapsulated in OCI artifacts, properly built .simg files can improve flashing times by x2-x10 by avoiding don't care areas in the images.
  • Authentication and login UX: Continued improvements to simplified login flows and operator-managed endpoint behavior.
  • Platform growth: Monorepo transition completed in this release cycle, featuring ongoing operator and driver refinements and more robust CI.
  • Monorepo: Python packages, protocol, Kubernetes operator, and automation are now in a single repository (UV workspace under python/).
  • CLI & auth: Simplified jmp login, default client selection after OIDC login, and various auth UX and configuration fixes.

Installation

Installing the Jumpstarter service on Kubernetes or OpenShift should be done via the Jumpstarter Operator. The operator reconciles a Jumpstarter custom resource (operator.jumpstarter.dev/v1alpha1) and manages the controller, router, login endpoints, TLS integration with cert-manager, and related networking.
