[Container-tools] Minishift-1.3.0 Release announcement

[Praveen Kumar]

Hi All,

The Minishift team is pleased to announce the release of Minishift 1.3.0.

Minishift [1] is a command-line tool that provisions and manages a
single-node OpenShift cluster. You can run Minishift on GNU/Linux,
Microsoft Windows or macOS.


Release highlights
---------------------------

This release adds many features, enhancements, and bug fixes, including:

•  Allow add-ons to use environment variables [2]

The commands `minishift start` and `minishift addons apply` now also
provide an --addon-env flag, which allows to dynamically pass
variables for interpolation. For example:

    $ minishift addons apply --addon-env PROJECT_USER=john <my_addon>

You can specify multiple environment variables in the same --addon-env
flag to define more than one variables for interpolation. Specifying
dynamic variables also works in conjunction with setting persistent
configuration values. For example:

    $ minishift config set addon-env PROJECT_USER=john
    $ minishift addons apply <my_addon>

•  Incorporate NodePort into the `minishift openshift service` command

The `minishift openshift service list` shows services that belong to
any namespace, along with service routes, NodePort, and weight. If you
want to check a specific service, run `minishift openshift service
<service_name>` .

This release also includes many changes and bug fixes, which are
detailed in the release notes [3]. For information about getting
started, using, and developing Minishift, see the documentation [4].

Please give the new release a try and let us know your feedback. The
Minishift community hangs out at #minishift channel on Freenode and it
is the perfect place to discuss anything Minishift-related.
