Release v1.4.0

🎯 Highlight: Kubedog Integration

This release introduces kubedog-based resource tracking as a powerful alternative to Helm's native --wait flag, providing:

• Real-time deployment progress tracking for Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, and Jobs
• Container log streaming during deployments
• Fine-grained resource filtering with trackKinds/skipKinds/trackResources options
• Multi-context support with proper kubeconfig/kubeContext handling

Getting Started

Try it with the new --track-mode flag:

:::bash
# Use kubedog tracking (default behavior can be configured)
helmfile apply --track-mode kubedog
# Or configure in your helmfile.yaml
releases:

  - name: myapp
    chart: ./chart
    trackMode: kubedog
    trackLogs: true
    trackKinds:
      - Deployment
      - StatefulSet
