crossplane - v1.3.0

Major Themes

The v1.3.0 release introduces a hotly awaited Composition feature - https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane/pull/2352 adds new CombineFromComposite and CombineToComposite patch types that can be used to patch from multiple Composite Resource (XR) fields to a single composed resource field, and vice versa.

Notable Updates

Upgrading

Crossplane manages its own CRDs since v1.2.0, making running helm upgrade the only step required for upgrading to v1.3.0. See the Upgrading Guide for more information.
