During 2025-07, werf/werf delivered key features that stabilize deployment observability, streamline release automation, and modernize CI coverage tooling. The Kubedog dependency was reverted to a stable version and updated to support Prometheus resource tracking, enabling metrics collection for the new CRs and improving deployment reliability. Release workflow and CI automation were enhanced with refined release channels, PR relabeling, token configuration for releases, GitHub tag creation via API, wait-for-release polling, and post-release triggering, plus channel/version parsing improvements, delivering faster and more predictable releases. The CI coverage tooling was migrated from Code Climate to Qlty with updated reports and badges, refined coverage file patterns, and the removal of silent error skipping to surface failures, resulting in clearer quality signals. These efforts reduce release risk, improve observability, and expand automation while delivering tangible business value.
