[ANNOUNCE] Kernel Module Management v1.1.0 released

[Quentin Barrand]

Hello,

Kernel Module Management (KMM) operator v1.1.0 has been released and
is now available.

This release includes the following improvements:

- the new version field of the Module CRD gives users better control
on the kmod upgrade process [0] through node labels;
- soft dependencies [1] can now be specified using the new
modulesLoadingOrder field of the Module CRD;
- a validating webhook [2] now validates Module and
ManagedClusterModule resources on creation and update;
- the new inTreeModuleToRemove field of the Module CRD allows users to
unload an in-tree kmod;
- the MOD_NAME and MOD_NAMESPACE variables are now substituted in the
containerImage field and are available as default build arguments for
build jobs.

More details can be found on the release page [3].
Issues can be reported on GitHub [4].

Please join the KMM community on #sig-node-kmm [5] on Slack or at our
biweekly meeting [6].

Thank you,

Quentin Barrand, on behalf of the KMM team
