0.9.0

New Features:

• Hooks can now be defined as artifact metadata and are executed at the specified step.
  Current supported hook entrypoints are: pre_create, pre_update, post_create, post_update

  Current implemented hooks:

  • cmd: Allows arbritary commands via subprocess
  • export_outputs_kubezero: writes the outputs of kubernetes stacks into a format to be included by KubeZero

• Stack outputs are now written into a yaml file under outputs if enabled. Enabled via options.StoreOutputs
  create-docs now includes latest stack output values if an output file is found

• Removed deprecated support for storing parameters as these can be constructed any time from existing and tracked configs

• some code cleanups and minor changes for cli outputs

0.8.4

0.8.0

• Added support for sops encrypted config files, see: https://github.com/mozilla/sops
• hide stack parameter output in terminal if NoEcho is set
