Highlights

• Added beta-level CSI support!
• Added custom CA certificate support
• Backup progress reporting
• Changed backup tarball format to support all versions of a given resource

All Changes

• increment restic volumesnapshot count after successful pvb create (#2542, @ashish-amarnath)

• Allow users the option to retrieve all versions of a given resource (instead of just the preferred version) from the API server with the EnableAPIGroupVersions feature flag. (#2373, @brito-rafa)
• Changed backup tarball format to store all versions of a given resource, updated backup tarball format to 1.1.0. (#2373, @brito-rafa)
• allow feature flags to be passed from install CLI (#2503, @ashish-amarnath)
• sync backups' CSI API objects into the cluster as part of the backup sync controller (#2496, @ashish-amarnath)

• update container base images from ubuntu:bionic to ubuntu:focal (#2471, @skriss)
• bug fix: when a resource includes/excludes list contains unresolvable items, don't remove them from the list, so that the list doesn't inadvertently end up matching all resources. (#2462, @skriss)
• Azure: add support for getting storage account key for restic directly from an environment variable (#2455, @jaygridley)

• Adding new restoreItemAction for PVC to update the selected-node annotation (#2377, @mynktl)
• Added a --cacert flag to the install command to provide the CA bundle to use when verifying TLS connections to object storage (#2368, @mansam)
• Added a --cacert flag to the velero client describe, download, and logs commands to allow passing a path to a certificate to use when verifying TLS connections to object storage. Also added a corresponding client config option called cacert which takes a path to a certificate bundle to use as a default when --cacert is not specified. (#2364, @mansam)
• support setting a custom CA certificate on a BSL to use when verifying TLS connections (#2353, @mansam)
• adding annotations on backup CRD for k8s major, minor and git versions (#2346, @brito-rafa)

• Added a --cacert flag to the install command to provide the CA bundle to use when verifying TLS connections to object storage (#2368, @mansam)

Also added a corresponding client config option called cacert which takes a path to a certificate bundle to use as a default when --cacert is not specified. (#2364, @mansam)
• support setting a custom CA certificate on a BSL to use when verifying TLS connections (#2353, @mansam)
• adding annotations on backup CRD for k8s major, minor and git versions (#2346, @brito-rafa)
