Release Notes
The following release notes are for the Business Edition of Portainer. For Community Edition release notes, refer to the GitHub releases page.
Release 2.20.2
May 1, 2024
Overview of changes
Introducing the new Portainer BE 2.20.2 release. This is an STS (Short-Term Support) release.
As you gear up for the transition to Portainer BE 2.20.2, our latest STS (Short-Term Support) installment, ensuring a smooth upgrade is key. We urge you to back up your configurations via the Portainer UI beforehand. This backup acts as your safety net, ensuring you can gracefully revert to the prior version or state if the new frontier proves too wild. Additionally, pore over the release notes for catching any compatibility issues, understanding deprecated functionalities, and identifying essential tweaks to your current setup. Your diligence will pave the way for a seamless update.
A Short-Term Support release can be considered as "bleeding-edge" as it will contain the latest features and functionality we've developed. The STS releases (including this one) will go through a significant amount of pre-release testing, but there may be changes that could cause regressions and features that might see further iterations. As such, if stability is a crucial concern for your setup we wouldn't recommend deploying STS releases on production environments.

Fixed issue where actions icon under edit edge stack page is not consistent
Kubernetes
Introduced new log viewer to Portainer Business Edition
Introduced the ability to edit the YAML manifest of Kubernetes objects and apply the changes via the Kubernetes patch function
Introduced global and cluster-level options to allow enforcing of code-based deployment of Kubernetes objects, preventing the use of Portainer forms and other less easy-to-repeat workflows
Introduced a new setting in the Cluster setup screen of a Kubernetes environment to allow enforcing of admin-only deploying of ingresses
Introduced the ability to specify updates to existing environment variables of a deployment via query string parameters on the Kubernetes application redeploy webhook
Added a rolling restart button to the Kube application UI
Introduced a new rollout-restart parameter to Kube application redeploy webhooks to allow remote initiating of zero-downtime deployment rolling restarts
Introduced an alternate means of authenticating connections to the Google Cloud platform (used by our KaaS provisioning of Google Kubernetes Engine environments), following their deprecation of the gcp auth plugin in Kubernetes v1.22 and removal in v1.26
Introduced experimental Kubernetes functionality (behind a feature flag) to allow installing of MicroK8s to existing machines
The Kubernetes deployment option for docker-compose format manifests and the Kompose conversion tool that enabled this have now been removed due to long-standing Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in Kompose: portainer/portainer#8355
Improved the explanatory tooltips and info text for Kube application automatic updates functionality: portainer/portainer#8223
Updated Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS) cluster provisioning to use the latest eksctl tool for the AWS EKS platform, and support up to v1.23 of Kubernetes (use of this version was previously failing)
Resolved an issue where Kubernetes secrets were no longer shown in an expand panel for each application listed in the Applications list screen: portainer/portainer#8118
Improved config setting defaults when connecting clusters: ingress controllers (with a class) are auto detected/set as allowed, metrics API features setting is on (if metrics server is deployed), and storage classes with the 'default' annotation are on: portainer/portainer#8240
The Kubernetes Operator role is not intended to have secrets update permission and hence, as a security consideration, this permission is now removed from Portainer
Corrected the look of the fallback icon used for Helm charts that don't have their own icon: portainer/portainer#8116
Made a change to default the resource quota's resource assignment setting to off for new Kubernetes namespaces but always show the toggle (although it can be disabled for change if the cluster's (BE only) allow over-commit setting is off): portainer/portainer#8122
In the Kubernetes Add ingress screen, corrected the namespace selection dropdown to only show those that the user has access to: portainer/portainer#8150
Added a check in Kube Cluster setup and Namespace -> Manage access to see if Kube RBAC addon is enabled in the cluster, and if not, show a warning that Portainer RBAC functionality will be limited. Warning also gives info on enabling RBAC in the cluster: portainer/portainer#8171
Resolved an issue that was causing an 'Unable to get k8s environment access' error on deleting of a Kubernetes edge environment
When connecting a Kubernetes environment to Portainer via kubeconfig import, stop deleting of any extant 'portainer' namespace in the cluster
When using Kubernetes (KaaS) cluster provisioning and choosing the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) option, only node size options that are valid for provisioning now show. Previously, there was at least one option which gave an error on use
Resolved two scenarios where importing of the kubeconfig of a Kubernetes cluster raised an error that caused a stuck 'Deploying' status
In Kube Create namespace and Namespace details screens, made the resource assignment toggle always visible - even when the cluster's resource over-commit option is off (when it will show but be disabled for change)
Fixed an issue introduced in 2.16, where deploying of an ingress via the Portainer Add ingress form does not label the ingress object in the cluster with a Portainer 'internal' deployment label. Any deployment of ingress via Portainer should have this: portainer/portainer#8337
Fixed an issue introduced in 2.16, where, when attaching a ConfigMap to an application being deployed via the Portainer Add application form, the ConfigMap is wrongly included as a Secret in the manifest and the deployment could therefore fail: portainer/portainer#8323
Fixed an incorrect mention in the UI of a 'docker-compose file' which was showing when editing a Kube application deployed from git: portainer/portainer#8228
Fixed an issue preventing adding of a Helm repo that has a redirect: portainer/portainer#7892
Fixed an issue where the kubectl shell does not work when Istio Proxy is installed in the cluster: portainer/portainer#8321
Fixed an issue introduced in 2.16 where the Kube Create namespace screen's CPU and Memory resource allocation max limits did not have other namespaces' resource amounts subtracted when the cluster's allow resource over-commit option was turned off

Portainer
Introduced support for S3 compatible hosts for backup and restore: portainer/portainer#6555
Introduced support for GitHub container registry as a registry type
On the header context sensitive help icon, the red dot notification has been removed. This was put there to highlight the new feature in 2.16: portainer/portainer#8167

React migration
Migrated from Angular to React: Tag selector for Environment Details view.
Migrated from Angular to React: Teams view.
Kubernetes
When upgrading to 2.16, if you already have ingress controllers in a Kubernetes cluster/environment linked to Portainer and used Portainer to set them at the cluster and namespace level, and if these ingress controllers were not used by any ingresses, after the upgrade, you may end up with dummy ingresses visible in the new Ingresses screen in Portainer (that are not actually used for any deployment). This is simply an artifact of how we retained information about ingress controllers in earlier Portainer releases. If you find these kinds of dummy ingresses, you can safely delete them.
Introduced the ability to auto-detect ingress classes in the environment. portainer/portainer#7827
Added an Ingress menu option in the sidebar that lists all Ingresses in the cluster. portainer/portainer#7839
Introduced the ability to set the type of a Kubernetes secret (e.g. TLS or a user-defined/custom type). Existing secrets were previously always of type Opaque (which remains the default). portainer/portainer#7842
Improved ingress options on the cluster setup page, allowing admins to define ingresses without assigning them to a namespace. portainer/portainer#7832
Introduce TLS and HTTPS support for ingresses. portainer/portainer#7843
Moved the Ingress management from the Application details page to a new Ingress section. portainer/portainer#7828
Resolved an issue when OAuth is in use and Kubernetes updates are deployed via manifest from git. The user email address used in labels/annotations for Kube objects now has disallowed characters (such as the at symbol) replaced with a dot (period symbol). portainer/portainer#7720
The Homepage's kubeconfig download dialog now only includes those environments that show on the Homepage. Those with a connection error or provisioning error (these states were introduced in recent releases) are now excluded.
Resolved an issue where Node stats would not work for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters. portainer/portainer#7668
Fixed the issue of missing Kubernetes definition for Kubernetes application deployment in the swagger API documentation. portainer/portainer#7741
Fixed issue with deploying custom templates on Kubernetes that are using mustache variables.
Docker
Updated the Compose version to 2.10.2. portainer/portainer#7838
Added support for shared memory when creating or editing a container by allowing to set --shm-size from portainer. portainer/portainer#4992
