Notes
Thank you to all that contributed with flushing out issues and enhancements for K9s! I'll try to mark some of these issues as fixed. But if you don't mind grab the latest rev and see if we're happier with some of the fixes! If you've filed an issue please help me verify and close.
Your support, kindness and awesome suggestions to make K9s better are, as ever, very much noted and appreciated! Also big thanks to all that have allocated their own time to help others on both slack and on this repo!!
As you may know, K9s is not pimped out by big corporations with deep pockets, thus if you feel K9s is helping in your Kubernetes journey, please consider joining our sponsorship program and/or make some noise on social! @kitesurfer

♫ Sounds Behind The Release ♭
Maintenance Release!
Please help me welcome Ümüt Özalp as a core contributor to K9s! Ümüt has been instrumental in helping this project grow. I trust you will help Ümüt triage issues and prs reviews and show him the kindness and patience all k9sers are famous for!
Sponsorships are dropping at an alarming rate which puts this project in the red.
This is becoming a concern and sad not to mention unsustainable ;(
If you dig k9s and want to help the project, please consider paying it forward! and
don't become just another satisfied, non paying customer!.
K9s does take a lot of my free time to maintain, enhance and keep the light on.
Many cool ideas are making it straight to the freezer as I just can't budget them in.
I know many of you work for big corporations, so please put in the word/work and have
them help us out via sponsorships or other means.
Thank you!
