changelogs/CHANGELOG-1.7.md

+## v1.7.0
+### 2021-09-07
+
+### Download
+https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/releases/tag/v1.7.0
+
+### Container Image
+`velero/velero:v1.7.0`
+
+### Documentation
+https://velero.io/docs/v1.7/
+
+### Upgrading
+https://velero.io/docs/v1.7/upgrade-to-1.7/
+
+### Highlights
+
+#### Distroless images
+
+The Velero container images now use [distroless base images](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless).
+Using distroless images as the base ensures that only the packages and programs necessary for running Velero are included.
+Unrelated libraries and OS packages, that often contain security vulnerabilities, are now excluded.
+This change reduces the size of both the server and restic restore helper image by approximately 62MB.
+
+As the [distroless](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless) images do not contain a shell, it will no longer be possible to exec into Velero containers using these images.
+
+#### New "debug" command
+
+This release introduces the new `velero debug` command.
+This command collects information about a Velero installation, such as pod logs and resources managed by Velero, in a tarball which can be provided to the Velero maintainer team to help diagnose issues.
+
+### All changes
+
+  * Distinguish between different unnamed node ports when preserving (#4026, @sseago)
+  * Validate namespace in Velero backup create command (#4057, @codegold79)
+  * Empty the "ClusterIPs" along with "ClusterIP" when "ClusterIP" isn't "None" (#4101, @ywk253100)
+  * Add a RestoreItemAction plugin (`velero.io/apiservice`) which skips the restore of any `APIService` which is managed by Kubernetes. These are identified using the `kube-aggregator.kubernetes.io/automanaged` label. (#4028, @zubron)
+  * Change the base image to distroless (#4055, @ywk253100)
+  * Updated the version of velero/velero-plugin-for-aws version from v1.2.0 to v1.2.1 (#4064, @kahirokunn)
+  * Skip the backup and restore of DownwardAPI volumes when using restic. (#4076, @zubron)
+  * Bump up Go to 1.16 (#3990, @reasonerjt)
+  * Fix restic error when volume is emptyDir and Pod not running (#3993, @mahaupt)
+  * Select the velero deployment with both label and container name (#3996, @ywk253100)
+  * Wait for the namespace to be deleted before removing the CRDs during uninstall. This deprecates the `--wait` flag of the `uninstall` command (#4007, @ywk253100)
+  * Use the cluster preferred CRD API version when polling for Velero CRD readiness. (#4015, @zubron)
+  * Implement velero debug (#4022, @reasonerjt)
+  * Skip the restore of volumes that originally came from a projected volume when using restic. (#3877, @zubron)
+  * Run the E2E test with kind(provision various versions of k8s cluster) and MinIO on Github Action (#3912, @ywk253100)
+  * Fix -install-velero flag for e2e tests (#3919, @jaidevmane)
+  * Upgrade Velero ClusterRoleBinding to use v1 API (#3926, @jenting)
+  * enable e2e tests to choose crd apiVersion (#3941, @sseago)
+  * Fixing multipleNamespaceTest bug - Missing expect statement in test (#3983, @jaidevmane)
+  * Add --client-page-size flag to server to allow chunking Kubernetes API LIST calls across multiple requests on large clusters (#3823, @dharmab)
+  * Fix CR restore regression introduced in 1.6 restore progress. (#3845, @sseago)
+  * Use region specified in the BackupStorageLocation spec when getting restic repo identifier. Originally fixed by @jala-dx in #3617. (#3857, @zubron)
+  * skip backuping projected volume when using restic (#3866, @alaypatel07)
+  * Install Kubernetes preferred CRDs API version (v1beta1/v1). (#3614, @jenting)
+  * Add Label to BackupSpec so that labels can explicitly be provided to Schedule.Spec.Template.Metadata.Labels which will be reflected on the backups created. (#3641, @arush-sal)
+  * Add PVC UID label to PodVolumeRestore (#3792, @sseago)
+  * Support pulling plugin images by digest (#3803, @2uasimojo)
+  * Added BackupPhaseUploading and BackupPhaseUploadingPartialFailure backup phases as part of Upload Progress Monitoring. (#3805, @dsmithuchida)
+
+    Uploading (new)
+    The "Uploading" phase signifies that the main part of the backup, including 
+    snapshotting has completed successfully and uploading is continuing. In 
+    the event of an error during uploading, the phase will change to 
+    UploadingPartialFailure. On success, the phase changes to Completed. The 
+    backup cannot be restored from when it is in the Uploading state.
+
+    UploadingPartialFailure (new)
+    The "UploadingPartialFailure" phase signifies that the main part of the backup,
+    including snapshotting has completed, but there were partial failures either 
+    during the main part or during the uploading. The backup cannot be restored 
+    from when it is in the UploadingPartialFailure state.
+  * 🐛 Fix plugin name derivation from image name (#3711, @ashish-amarnath)
+  * ✨ ⚠️ Remove CSI volumesnapshot artifact deletion
+
+This change requires https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero-plugin-for-csi/pull/86 for Velero to continue
+deleting of CSI volumesnapshots when the corresponding backups are deleted. (#3734, @ashish-amarnath)
+  * use unstructured to marshal selective fields for service restore action (#3789, @alaypatel07)
