With this release, Dev Spaces is supported on arm64 architecture with the following limitations:

With this release, you can filter samples on the User Dashboard by both tags and languages.

Starting from DevWorkspace Operator version 0.34.0, you can configure a pruner that automatically cleans up DevWorkspace objects that were not in use for a certain period of time. To set the pruner up, configure the DevWorkspaceOperatorConfig object as follows:

apiVersion: controller.devfile.io/v1alpha1
kind: DevWorkspaceOperatorConfig
metadata:
  name: devworkspace-operator-config
  namespace: openshift-operators 

config:
  workspace:
    cleanupCronJob:
      enabled: true
      dryRun: false
      retainTime: 2592000 

      schedule: “0 0 1 * *” 

You can find more details about DevWorkspace Operator Configuration in the official documentation.

Handling of the auto-mount path collisions has been improved in the latest DevWorkspace Operator version. When two automount configmaps or secrets share the same mount path with controller.devfile.io/mount-as: subpath, an error message will appear when you try to start a DevWorkspace.

With this release, JetBrains Gateway 2025 has a new version of dedicated plugin, which is compatible with Dev Spaces.

Information about additional memory and CPU requirements for a JetBrains IDE (e.g. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate) is available in the official documentation.

Information about running Dev Spaces at scale is available in the official documentation.
