The Minishift team is pleased to announce the release of
Minishift v1.10.0.
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 new features, enhancements, and bug fixes, including:
- Make Minishift cache global shared between all profiles.
Now the cache is shared between profiles i.e. minishift will not download
required artifacts for a new profile if it is already cached for any other
profile.
- A generic caching solution for docker images which can be used for
application image caching.
A new caching solution based on OCI (Open Container Initiative) is
added to Minishift which has replaced the older caching solution. The older
caching solution was based on docker save/import and was an experimental
feature. Currently the caching is not enabled by default but we are working
towards it. For details about caching, refer [2]
For example, to enable caching for OpenShift images, run:
$ minishift config set image-caching true
If you used image caching prior to Minishift 1.10.0, your cache will need
to be recreated. If you want to remove the obsolete pre 1.10.0 images, run:
$ minishift delete --clear-cache
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 try the new release. The easiest upgrade path is by simply
running:
$ minishift update
We are looking forward to your feedback.
