[Container-tools] Release announcement for Minishift 1.0.0-Beta.5

[Lalatendu Mohanty]

The Minishift team is pleased to announce the release of Minishift 1.0.0
Beta 5.


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

Release highlights

------------------------

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

   -

   Minishift is now configured to use nip.io instead of xip.io [4].
   -

      The default routes for application will be created with the <VM IP>.
      nip.io routing suffix.
      -

   The sudoers role was added to the “developer” user [5].
   -

      This role allows the “developer” to impersonate system:admin when
      running a command. For example, you can run “$ oc get nodes --as
      system:admin” while logged in as the developer user.
      -

   An important bug for proxy server (http/https) support was fixed  [10].
   -

      We had a bug where registration was failing in proxy environments.
      -

   OpenShift related subcommands from the root context were moved under the
   “minishift openshift” command [11].


This release also includes many changes and bug fixes, which are detailed
in the release notes  [2] and milestone [3] . For information about getting
started, using, and developing Minishift, see the documentation [6].

Additional components

-----------------------------


   -

   We released new versions of the Boot2Docker ISO (v1.0.2) [ 8] and the
   CentOS ISO (v1.0.0-rc3) [7] images.
   -

   We added the ‘fuse-sshfs’ package to both the ISO images. With SSHFS,
   users can mount host folders. Currently this is a manual process [9] but we
   are working on automating it.


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.
