# Changelog
## [2.0.0] - 2026-06-15
KDash 2.0 turns the dashboard from read-only into a tool you can act with. You can now manage resources, port-forward, and edit manifests without leaving the TUI, alongside a refreshed UI and faster rendering.
### Added
- **NEW:** Resource management actions. KDash can now act on resources, not just observe them:
- Delete any resource (`Ctrl-d`)
- Edit any resource in your `$EDITOR` (`e`); KDash suspends the UI while the editor is open and applies the result on save
- Scale Deployments/StatefulSets/ReplicaSets/ReplicationControllers to a replica count via an inline input
- Rollout restart Deployments/StatefulSets/DaemonSets (`r`)
- View previous (restarted) container logs (`p`)
- Cordon/uncordon nodes and suspend/resume/trigger CronJobs
- **NEW:** Port-forward a Pod or Service with `f`, then list and stop active forwards with `Shift+F`. Forwards run as tracked background processes and are stopped when you quit KDash.
- **NEW:** Action menu (`m`) lists every available action for the selected resource; the most-used actions also have dedicated hotkeys surfaced as hints.
- **NEW:** More built-in themes and runtime theme cycling. Switch themes on the fly with `t` (next) and `Alt+t` (previous) across Macchiato, Latte, Gruvbox Dark, Solarized Dark, and Mono, plus an optional custom theme.
- Log view options to toggle timestamps (`t`) and line wrap (`w`) while viewing container logs.
- Cycle the main views in reverse with `Shift+Tab`, reset the view-switch history with `Ctrl+H`, and jump to the start/end of tables and text views with `Home`/`End`.
- Impactful actions are guarded by a confirmation prompt before any change is applied.
### Changed
- Refreshed the UI across hints, headers, help, notifications, and gauges for a cleaner, more consistent look.
- Help page now lays out keybindings in two balanced columns.
- Utilization view adds a cluster summary pane.
- Context info panel shows more detail, and the view-switch history is collapsed by default to reduce noise.
- Scrolling is unified across views with smoother behavior. Thanks to [@tstenner](https://github.com/tstenner) for the contribution! [#530](https://github.com/kdash-rs/kdash/pull/530)
- Enabled the ratatui layout cache for faster redraws. Thanks to [@tstenner](https://github.com/tstenner) for the contribution! [#531](https://github.com/kdash-rs/kdash/pull/531)
- Updated kubectl-view-allocations to 3.0.1 and ratatui to 0.30.1, plus chrono, serde_json, log, clap, strum, and human-panic bumps.
## [1.1.2] - 2026-05-16
### Added
- New `hide_logo` and `hide_info_on_start` config options to hide the logo block and start with the info bar collapsed. Fix [#521](https://github.com/kdash-rs/kdash/issues/521)
## [1.1.1] - 2026-04-24
### Changed
- Add overflow indicators to the resource tabs
## [1.1.0] - 2026-04-24
### Added
- **NEW:** Configurable CLI Info entries, including disabling built-in probes, custom commands, optional regex-based version extraction, and control over whether missing binaries are hidden or shown as `Not found`. Fix #452
- **NEW:** More columns are shown if viewport is wide enough for most resources including a new 'w' keybind to show all.
- Dynamic resource menu counts now use cached results and show `?` while a resource kind has not been loaded yet
### Changed
- Resource tabs now auto-scroll to keep the selected tab visible, prefer showing neighboring tabs where possible, and hide zero-count badges for cleaner headers
- CLI Info defaults now include `podman` and `containerd`, while `istioctl` is provided as a sample custom probe instead of a built-in entry
- The More menu is now ordered by more commonly used resources first
- The filter UI is more consistent across different views
- Troubleshoot module is improved. Thanks to [@sed-i](https://github.com/sed-i) for the contribution! [#513](https://github.com/kdash-rs/kdash/pull/513)
- UI draw efficiency improvements. Thanks to [@sed-i](https://github.com/sed-i) for the contribution! [#515](https://github.com/kdash-rs/kdash/pull/515)
### Fixed
- Batched redraw/event handling now coalesces queued ticks and clamps rendering windows to avoid empty tables and YAML slice panics on small or offset views
- Troubleshoot findings now sort deterministically, and follow-up cleanups improved readability in Pod, PVC, and ReplicaSet checks
## [1.0.0] - 2026-04-09
### Added
- **NEW:** Shell into container directly from the UI with `s` keybinding
- Restore the KDash UI cleanly after leaving an interactive container shell
- Fall back from `/bin/bash` to `/bin/sh` automatically when opening a pod shell
- **NEW:** Troubleshoot tab with diagnostics and recommendations for common Kubernetes issues across Pods, PVCs, and ReplicaSets, plus direct drill-down into containers, logs, describe, and YAML views. Thanks to [@sed-i](https://github.com/sed-i) for the contribution! [#505](https://github.com/kdash-rs/kdash/pull/505)
- **NEW:** Inline filter/search across resource tables and views, including Contexts, Help, Utilization, Troubleshoot, More, and Dynamic resource menus
- **NEW:** Aggregate logs for workload resources, so you can view logs from all owned pods in one stream
- **NEW:** Deeper navigation from resource tables into child views such as Pods, Containers, Logs, Describe, and YAML
- **NEW:** Custom config support for keybinding overrides, theme overrides, and configurable initial log history via `log_tail_lines`
- **NEW:** In-app action to dump recent errors to a file for debugging
- Resource counts in resource tabs and menus
- Events tab with namespaced Kubernetes events, counts, ages, and describe/YAML views. Thanks to [@sed-i](https://github.com/sed-i) for the contribution! [#504](https://github.com/kdash-rs/kdash/pull/504)
### Changed
- Default dark/light themes now use Catppuccin Macchiato and Catppuccin Latte
- Enter-based navigation now drills into child resources where available and opens Describe on leaf resources
- Dynamic resource discovery now tolerates non-`v1` preferred API group versions and reuses cached results
- Kubeconfig changes are watched live so context and namespace state stay in sync without restarting
### Fixed
- Log streaming, scrolling, and history handling improvements, including bounded buffers and faster follow behavior. Fix #6
- Reduced startup and UI lag with runtime, describe rendering, and resource-loading improvements
- Better error handling and friendlier messages, including fixes for #484
