Changelog

All notable changes to kctl-tui will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

Unreleased

Added

• kctl-tui update — self-update command that downloads the latest release from GitHub and replaces the running binary
• Automatic update check on startup — prompts to update interactively when a newer version is available

0.2.0 - 2026-08-09

Added

• Windows support via psmux as tmux-compatible multiplexer
• install.ps1 PowerShell install script for Windows
• --help flag with full usage documentation
• --version / -v flag (set via -ldflags at build time)
• kctl-tui doctor command to verify tools, config and cluster connectivity
• kctl-tui config check command to validate ~/.kctl-tui/config.yaml
• --verbose flag for debug logging of all kubectl/aws commands to stderr
• Binary secret value detection (IsBinary) — base64 or non-UTF-8 content is flagged
• ExternalSecret name validation before force-sync
• CheckTool() and CheckAWSAuth() helpers for pre-flight checks
• Diff table scroll support (j/k, up/down arrows)
• --command pods flag for k9s to start directly in pod view
• --namespace flag for k9s (Windows compatibility)

Fixed

• Tmux session cleanup: stale sessions are killed before creating new ones
• Panel path: uses os.Executable() instead of PATH lookup for correct binary
• k9s on Windows: --namespace instead of -n, direct pods view
• --help always shows usage and exits (no fallthrough to TUI)
• Unknown subcommands show error message + usage (exit 1)
• Panel quit: properly closes tmux session and exits
• Bubbles list filter disabled to prevent stuck filter state after tmux return

Changed

• Config uses k8s_secret_name_template for Kubernetes secret names (separate from AWS secret_name_template)
• Contexts resolved via template (context_template) instead of live kubectl discovery
• Panel redesigned: env-first menu (quit/beta/prod) with secrets sync + redeploy
• Full-mode navigation starts at team selection with default context
• tea.ExecProcess only used for tmux attach — setup commands run synchronously

Removed

• Context-pair logic (superseded by env-template based context resolution)
• Live kubectl discovery (superseded by config templates)

0.1.0 - 2026-07-XX

Added

• Initial release with Bubble Tea TUI
• 3-pane tmux orchestration (control panel + 2x k9s)
• Team/namespace navigation with kubectl context switching
• Panel mode with redeploy and secrets diff/force-sync
• AWS SSO integration with interactive login prompt
• CI/CD pipeline with Go build and release
• Linux/macOS install script
