Chapter 2. Notable enhancements

This update removes the Node.js 10 language server from the Node sidecar, as the sidecar currently supports Node.js 12.

With this update, the devfile-converter library is published as a package on npmjs.com. This new library enables devfile conversion from version 1 to version 2 (and vice versa). It can be included in any Node.js project that requires it.

With this update, the CheCluster custom resource gains the database.pvcClaimSize field. Using this new field, CodeReady Workspaces administrators can enter a custom value for the size of the database persistent volume to align it with the storage size supported by a public cloud provider.

This enhancement improves memory consumption of the CodeReady Workspaces Operator in a Kubernetes cluster with many namespaces.

This enhancement improves the user experience for CodeReady Workspaces administrators. A CodeReady Workspaces administrator can now open the OpenShift Container Platform web console from the CodeReady Workspaces dashboard by clicking a link accessible through the CodeReady Workspaces dashboard menu.

With this update, support for deploying CodeReady Workspaces on OpenShift Container Platform on IBM Z and LinuxONE is no longer a Technology Preview feature. CodeReady Workspaces 2.14 is now fully supported on the IBM Z and LinuxONE infrastructure.
