v4.5.1

changes since v4.5.0

✨ New Features

Note: This release includes only minor version updates.

• (go-v4): Upgraded controller-runtime from v0.20.0 to v0.20.2 (#4528, #4570)
• (go-v4): Upgraded controller-gen from v0.17.1 to v0.17.2 (#4553)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• (go-v4): Aligned webhook suite tests with controller suite tests (#4449)
• (go-v4): Fixed project initialization in directories containing other files. Now, initialization is only prevented for directories with explicitly unwanted files (#4510)
• (go-v4, kustomize/v2, helm/v1-alpha): Fixed Prometheus integration by adding the serverName field to ServiceMonitor, ensuring proper certificate validation with the metrics server (#4536, #4558)
• (CLI): Fixed kubebuilder alpha generate by using --repo information tracked in the PROJECT file. Fix generation of projects outside of GOPATH (#4559)
• (go-v4, deploy-image/v1-alpha): Fixed handling of missing boilerplate files by raising a warning instead of failing. Previously, the process would terminate with an error, but it now issues a warning and continues execution (#4518).
• (go-v4): e2e tests: Removed Prometheus dependency as part of cleanup and fixes, since it is optional and not required (#4529)

Thanks to all our contributors! 🎉
