[ANNOUNCE] KUTTL v0.23.0 is released

[Marcin Owsiany]

🚀 Highlights

• feat: introduce templating support (#642)

You can now pass --template-var myvar=foo to kuttl and use {{ .Vars.myvar }} syntax in YAML files. See docs for more details.

💣 Breaking changes

• most code (other than API and the harness) was made internal. This has no impact on users of the kuttl CLI, but may break Go code which imports github.com/kudobuilder/kuttl

⚠️ Potentially risky changes

The extensive refactoring which preceded addition of templating support could have introduced some subtle differences in kuttl behaviour. Please report issues if you encounter them. In particular:

• refactoring of file name parsing was not meant to have user-visible impact, but might have introduced unintended changes.
  OTOH some previously undocumented behaviour w.r.t. step structure is now documented.
• after refactoring of namespace name determination, creation and cleanup namespace cleanup may behave differently in some obscure corner cases
