v0.2.0 (2025-07-16)​

Features​

  • Introduce entityGenerationOptions to the BackstageEntityCustomization resource. See Backstage Entity Customization for more details.
  • Promises must now declare the BackstageEntityCustomization they want to use via the kratix.io/backstage-customization label.
  • Resources created with the label kratix.io/backstage set to "false" won't be processed by the Backstage Controller. This allows users to exclude specific resources from having entities in Backstage, such as the resources created by Compound Promises.

v0.1.2 (2025-06-05)​

Fix​

  • syntasso-registry secret, containing a token that can access the syntasso image registry, is required in namespaces that the backstage controller workflows run. This is so users' environments can pull the ske-backstage-generator image automatically instead of manually loading the image to their environment.

  • Initial release
