v1.3 release

Announcing Knative v1.3 Release¶

A new version of Knative is now available across multiple components.

Follow the instructions in Installing Knative to install the components you require.

Dropped the alpha field RevisionSpec.MaxDurationSeconds in favour of fixing the behavior of the existing Timeout field. (#12635)

Allows the readiness probe port to be different than the user container port. (#12606)
net-certmanager starts testing cert-manager v1.7.1. (#12605)

Bumped prometheus/client_golang to v1.11.1 in order to address CVE-2022-21698. (#12653)
Ensure the activator drains properly and the autoscaler rolls out conservatively. This helps to avoid hitting 503 errors during upgrade. (#12617)
Fixed an activator crash that could disrupt traffic (503). (#12679)
Fixed the tag to digest resolution when the registry credential is in a Kubernetes secret. (#12655)
Provides more detailed error messages for invalid values of autoscaling.knative.dev/initial-scale. (#12704)
Removed an unnecessary start delay when resolving a tag to digest. (#12668)
Switches selectors for Knative resources to use the recommended app.kubernetes.io labels. (#12587)
The validating webhook returns a more accurate error for invalid autoscaling.knative.dev/target values. (#12698)
Updates serving configmap validating webhook to use an objectSelector to reduce unnecessary webhook invocations. (#12612)

The sql field of the new trigger filters experimental feature is now called cesql. (#6148)

When the new-trigger-filters experimental feature is enabled, a bug was fixed where some invalid CE SQL expressions caused the Eventing webhook to crash. Now, those expressions will be considered invalid and the webhook will continue functioning normally. (#6140)

Shows an error in the Broker and Channel status when resolving sink failures. (#1833)
Added KafkaSource migration logic as a post-install job (eventing-kafka-post-install.yaml). (#1889)
Added Storage-Version-Migrator for KafkaSource and KafkaChannel. (#1869)
KafkaChannel is now conformant with the spec. Conformance tests are now run with every code change. (#1825)

The reference information for metrics is not built successfully for Kafka channels. (#1824)

Broker URLs updated to be http://<broker-URL>/<namespace>/<broker-name>. (#587)
Short testing guide for contributors, converting from .env -> to (direnv friendly).envrc environment files. (#599)

Fixed traffic split auto-redirection to only consider the active revisions. (#1617)
Fixed missing Azure auth provider. (#1616)
Removed the hardcoded kn for usage and error. (#1603)
