## v1.0.0
#### 2019-05-20

### Highlights
- We've added a new command, `velero install`, to make it easier to get up and running with Velero. This CLI command replaces the static YAML installation files that were previously part of release tarballs. See the updated [install instructions][3] for more information.
- We've made a number of improvements to the plugin framework:
    - we've reorganized the relevant packages to minimize the import surface for plugin authors
    - all plugins are now wrapped in panic handlers that will report information on panics back to Velero
    - Velero's `--log-level` flag is now passed to plugin implementations
    - Errors logged within plugins are now annotated with the file/line of where the error occurred
    - Restore item actions can now optionally return a list of additional related items that should be restored
    - Restore item actions can now indicate that an item *should not* be restored
- For Azure installation, the `cloud-credentials` secret can now be created from a file containing a list of environment variables. Note that `velero install` always uses this method of providing credentials for Azure. For more details, see [Run on Azure][0].
- We've added a new phase, `PartiallyFailed`, for both backups and restores. This new phase is used for backups/restores that successfully process some but not all of their items.
- We removed all legacy Ark references, including API types, prometheus metrics, restic & hook annotations, etc.
- The restic integration remains a **beta feature**. Please continue to try it out and provide feedback, and we'll be working over the next couple of releases to bring it to GA.

### Breaking Changes

#### API
* All legacy Ark data types and pre-1.0 compatibility code has been removed. Users should migrate any backups created pre-v0.11.0 with the `velero migrate-backups` command, available in [v0.11.1][2].

#### Image
* The base container image has been switched to `ubuntu:bionic`

#### Labels/Annotations/Metrics
* The "ark" annotations for specifying hooks are no longer supported, and have been replaced with "velero"-based equivalents.
* The "ark" annotation for specifying restic backups is no longer supported, and has been replaced with a "velero"-based equivalent.
* The "ark" prometheus metrics no longer exist, and have been replaced with "velero"-based equivalents.

#### Plugin Development
* `BlockStore` plugins are now named `VolumeSnapshotter` plugins
* Plugin APIs have moved to reduce the import surface:
    * Plugin gRPC servers live in `github.com/heptio/velero/pkg/plugin/framework`
    * Plugin interface types live in `github.com/heptio/velero/pkg/plugin/velero`
* RestoreItemAction interface now takes the original item from the backup as a parameter
* RestoreItemAction plugins can now return additional items to restore
* RestoreItemAction plugins can now skip restoring an item
* Plugins may now send stack traces with errors to the Velero server, so that the errors may be put into the server log
* Plugins must now be "namespaced," using `example.domain.com/plugin-name` format
    * For external ObjectStore and VolumeSnapshotter plugins. this name will also be the provider name in BackupStorageLoction and VolumeSnapshotLocation objects
* `--log-level` flag is now passed to all plugins

#### Validation
* Configs for Azure, AWS, and GCP are now checked for invalid or extra keys, and the server is halted if any are found
