Inquiry about the Release Date for v1.2

[shokada]

Hi maintainers,

I am a member of an SRE team that uses the hierarchical-namespaces controller in conjunction with ArgoCD for managing our Kubernetes cluster.
We have been looking forward to the new feature mentioned for the v1.2 release that introduces support for unpropagated labels.

This feature is particularly important for us as it would enable better integration between HNC and ArgoCD, by preventing ArgoCD from inadvertently taking ownership of propagated resources, which is a challenge we are currently facing.

According to the project's documentation, the estimated time of arrival for v1.2 was late 2023.
However, it appears that the release has not yet been made available.

Could you kindly provide an update on the expected release date for v1.2? Any information regarding the timeline would be highly beneficial for our planning purposes.

We appreciate the effort put into developing this project and look forward to your response.

Slightly off topic, but we ran into same issue. We switched to annotations as the tracking method in ArgoCD. We didn't even need to configure unpropagate annotations feature because on ArgoCD, it handles it gracefully and doesn't track the resources copied by HNC.

Let me know if you want more info. You can also find me on slack.

@mzain Thank you for your comment!
I see, so by setting application.resourceTrackingMethod: annotation in ArgoCD, resources that are copied won't be tracked. We might consider using this method to prevent tracking of propagated resources until v1.2 is released, if necessary.

Is this project still under active development?

Same question, is a 1.2 still in the plans?

Will there be a new release in the year 2024??

We use hierarchical namespace, but the problem is that it is not being maintained, such as by updating the dependent libraries. I want to avoid forking and maintaining it, but can I participate as a maintainer?

Does anyone know if this update can be released, or what an interested contributor could do to help?
