v1.3.0

Released: June 11, 2026

v1.3.0 promotes the 1.3 line to stable, combining everything from the v1.3.0-rc.1 and v1.3.0-rc.2 release candidates after a round of soak time. This release adds multi-directory kubeconfig support, new safety controls for ArgoCD and Flux, drag-and-drop preset reordering and a : filter shortcut, richer graph queries for connected AI assistants, a refreshed Kunobi v2 look, and a batch of Kubernetes drilldown fixes. If you've been on the unstable channel since the release candidates, this update is effectively a no-op. New users on stable land here directly.

What's New

Multiple kubeconfig directories — point Kunobi at more than one folder of kubeconfig files. A native folder picker in Settings lets you add directories, and you choose where new clusters are saved. Existing single-directory setups are carried over automatically.
Cancel ArgoCD syncs from Kunobi — terminate an in-progress ArgoCD Application sync, individually or in bulk (with the t shortcut), without dropping to the argocd CLI. The action only appears while a sync is actively running.
Reset stuck Flux HelmReleases — when reconciling a Flux HelmRelease, tick "Reset failure counts" to clear the retry counters on a stuck release instead of running flux reconcile --reset in a terminal. Off by default, and shown only for HelmReleases.
Drain control for emptyDir data — the node drain dialog now has a "Delete data in emptyDir volumes" toggle, so you decide whether to evict pods holding local scratch data. Off by default for safety, and any skipped pods are reported in the drain results.
Filter by resource kind with : — type : in the filter bar to jump straight to filtering a list by a specific resource kind, without reaching for the mouse.
Reorder presets by dragging — saved presets can now be rearranged with drag-and-drop, so your most-used views sit exactly where you want them.
Explore resource relationships from AI assistants — Kunobi's MCP integration gains a set of graph query tools, so a connected AI agent can search and traverse the relationships between resources in your cluster. The tools return provenance metadata and support pagination, and a discovery tool lets the agent inspect available resource types and relationships before it queries them.

Improvements

Refreshed Kunobi v2 look — a new brand color palette and a more consistent set of status colors are applied across the app. The update is automatic and your selected theme keeps working.
Redesigned tab bar — tabs now use Chrome-style active-tab shoulders, subtle dividers between inactive tabs, and a better-integrated New Tab button.
YAML highlighting for more keys — the ConfigMap/Secret data editor now syntax-highlights YAML values even when the key has no recognized file extension (for example, kubeadm's ClusterConfiguration), so they're readable instead of plain text.
Streamlined first-run onboarding — the setup wizard drops the Dev Tools step, so getting started is shorter and simpler. You can still view and install CLI tools any time from Settings → Tools.

Bug Fixes

Drilldown actions follow the active tab — context-specific conditions on the Kubernetes and Flux drilldown now key off the tab you're actually viewing, so the right actions show up in the right place.
Preset sort and column visibility stick on the K8s drilldown — the sort order and visible columns from a preset are restored again on the Kubernetes drilldown instead of being reset.
Event tables sort by most recent first — Kubernetes event tables now default to sorting by last-seen time, newest at the top, so the latest activity is immediately visible.
Breadcrumb clicks land on the right level — clicking a segment in the Kubernetes drilldown breadcrumb now navigates to the correct level instead of an adjacent one.
Cleaner overflow in tabs and sidebars — long titles now truncate cleanly instead of overflowing in scrollable tabs and sidebar headers, with tightened sidebar title sizing for clearer hierarchy.
On-screen keystrokes show on Home — the keystroke display badges are no longer hidden behind the embedded web view on the home screen, so they stay visible during demos and screen shares.
