From now on, we’ll focus our efforts on Nelm v2 and the Nelm operator. At the same time, there’s an ongoing community effort to implement a Go templates alternative in Nelm using #TypeScript, following our recent formal proposal (github.com/werf/nelm/pu...). Everyone is welcome to join! 🙌

Enhanced build reports are another addition introduced in #werf v2.42.0, which aims to improve image building in #Kubernetes. Using these details on build stages helps analyze the effectiveness of your build configuration and evaluate your cache cleanup strategy (based on the cache hit ratio) 🚀
