2. Detailed Inspections:

   • Introducing nanocl metric inspect and nanocl event inspect commands to get detailed information about specific metrics and events.

3. State Backup:

   • The new nanocl backup command enables you to back up the current state into multiple Statefiles, ensuring your configurations are safe and recoverable.

4. Environment Variable Overrides:

   • Use the HOST environment variable to override the default host.
   • Pass certificates and keys via CERT and CERT_KEY environment variables for client operations.

5. Orphan Removal:

   • The nanocl state apply --remove-orphans option helps you clean up orphaned objects, maintaining a tidy environment.

6. TLS Secret Creation:

Bug Fixes

• Improved Command Reliability:

  • Commands like nanocl cargo run, nanocl vm run, nanocl cargo start, nanocl cargo stop, nanocl cargo patch, nanocl job start, nanocl vm start, and nanocl vm stop now correctly wait for the respective operations to complete before returning.

  • The diff trigger when applying a Statefile now accurately compares the current state with the new state, ensuring consistency.

Changes

• Unified Interface:

  • Commands such as inspect, rm, stop, and start have been refactored to a single interface, providing a consistent user experience across all objects.

• Streamlined Output:

  • The namespace has been removed from the tables in cargo ls and vm ls commands for a cleaner output.

• Enhanced Loader Experience:

  • Applying and removing Statefiles now feature a cleaner loader for a more intuitive process.
