4.3.0

Highlights

• The Helm chart has been relocated back to this repo and the release workflow has been simplified to both release an image and the chart with the same tag for consistency.
• The logging-operator-logging chart is now discontinued, but the logging-operator chart contains similar helper templates to set up a Logging resource as well along with the operator which can be enabled using the logging.enabled value. For notes on migration see: chart migration notes
• Also the Helm chart is now distributed through an OCI registry: oci://ghcr.io/kube-logging/helm-charts/logging-operator. Docs have been updated accordingly.
