Announcing the Release of Harbor 1.7!

We’re pleased to announce the release of Harbor 1.7 with lots of under-the-hood refinements:

Major Features

Harbor v1.7 brings to fruition a number of features we’ve been working on over the last three months:

• Image Build History – you can now see the contents of a container image
• Image retagging – the ability to apply a new tag to an image after it has been pushed to Harbor. This is particularly useful in cases where images are being promoted in a CI pipeline to production or when images need to be retagged programmatically, or when a user desires to retag container images to different repositories or projects
• Online garbage collection – Harbor can now clean up deleted images from the backend storage and no longer requires the Harbor stack to be stopped before performing a GC operation. This is tremendous news for those who leverage Harbor in environments with CI pipeline resulting in large image churn
• Support Logger customization – enables the user to customize STDOUT / STDERR / file / DB logger of running jobs
• Polished Helm chart functionality – continuing to polish our Helm chart support and fixing various small bugs around this feature, including:
  • Chart searching included in the global search results
  • Label support in Helm charts
  • Recursive deletion of charts

Additional Features

We’re always on the lookout for ways to polish the project and we’ve made some smaller changes in that vein: Tightened container capabilities – minimizing capabilities when starting containers (principle of least privilege!)

• Bumped Clair version – Harbor now ships with Clair v2.0.7
• Bumped Notary version – Harbor now ships with Notary v0.6.1
• Miscellaneous – support for longer usernames, refactoring our UI code, enabling markdown support in our project description, etc. are all small polish-like changes to the project, but the little things do matter :)
