v1.3.0

Release Highlights:

1. New Feature: Introduce MR Metrics

We are excited to introduce a new set of managed resource (MR) metrics in this release. These metrics are pivotal for monitoring the state and performance of resources managed through Crossplane. This enhancement follows the implementation guidelines from the provider-kubernetes and incorporates changes from crossplane-runtime. The newly available metrics include:

• crossplane_managed_resource_exists{"gvk"}
• crossplane_managed_resource_ready{"gvk"}
• crossplane_managed_resource_synced{"gvk"}
• crossplane_managed_resource_first_time_to_reconcile_seconds{"gvk"}
• crossplane_managed_resource_first_time_to_readiness_seconds{"gvk"}
• crossplane_managed_resource_deletion_seconds{"gvk"}
• crossplane_managed_resource_drift_seconds{"gvk"}

For a detailed overview of the implementation, please refer to this PR in crossplane-runtime.

2. Bug Fix: Immediate Sync Status Update on Async Failures

This update addresses a critical bug related to asynchronous operation failures (Issue #1164). With this fix, the "Synced" status will immediately reflect as "False" upon any failure in asynchronous operations, ensuring compliance with the XRM contract and improving reliability in status reporting. Previously, the error handling only updated the LastAsyncOperation status without properly setting the Synced condition to False. For more information, please see the detailed PR description.
