New Features

Helm 1st-Class Support

We know that for many of our users, they want to deploy existing Helm charts using Argo CD. Up until now that has required you to create an Argo CD app in a Git repo that does nothing but point to that chart. Now you can use a Helm chart repository is the same way as a Git repository.

On top of that, we've improved support for Helm apps. The most common types of Helm hooks such as pre-install and post-install are supported as well as a the delete policy before-hook-creation which makes it easier to work with hooks.

Orphan Resources

Some users would like to make sure that resources in a namespace are managed only by Argo CD. So we've introduced the concept of an "orphan resource" - any resource that is in namespace associated with an app, but not managed by Argo CD. This is enabled in the project settings. Once enabled, Argo CD will show in the app view any resources in the app's namepspace that is not mananged by Argo CD.

Sync Windows

There may be instances when you want to control the times during which an Argo CD app can sync. Sync Windows now gives you the capability to create windows of time in which apps are either allowed or denied the ability to sync. This can apply to both manual and auto-sync, or just auto-sync. The windows are configured at the project level and assigned to apps using app name, namespace or cluster. Wildcards are supported for all fields.
