Add -run-healthcheck flag

This flag is useful for some users that prefer a scratch image
that cannot execute a bash healthcheck. Instead they can execute
the watchdog itself such as:

"watchdog -run-healthcheck"

It will return a non-zero exit code for when the lock file is not
found.

Changelog:

• Add RED metrics to classic watchdog #1151

The classic watchdog will now expose an additional HTTP port 8081 (configurable) where /metrics can be gathered for HPAv2 auto-scaling in Kubernetes.

Changelog:

• Move Prometheus to internal endpoint via @viveksyngh #1085

Notes: in order to update to this gateway version you will also need to update your Prometheus configuration files to scrape the new endpoint or wait for #1121 to land in master.

Changelog:

• pulls in nats-queue-worker 0.7.0 which fixes an issue with the NATS Streaming reconnection logic

Changelog:

• Tune HTTP client for concurrency #1039

This change introduces reduces the burden on kube/CoreDNS under high load and fixes a problem where 502 errors were observed.

Two environment variables are made available through the gateway:

            max_idle_conns: 1024
            max_idle_conns_per_host: 1024

Upgrade as a matter of course, or sooner if you are doing performance testing, expecting high throughput or spikes in traffic.

Change log:

• Add basic auth to the system alert endpoint #1049 via @LucasRoesler 👍

Via #1012 #968 @alexellis @acornies

Changelog:

• Enable backoff/retries on scaling up #949

The above fixes issues when scaling from zero with high concurrency.

Changelog:

• Extract scaling from zero into a package #943

This will make the code accessible by the queue-worker for scaling from asynchronous workloads.

Prior release had a typo 0.9,.8

Changelog:

• Pass redirects back to client #925
• Log scaling from zero #927

With this release stateless microservices and of-watchdog functions can return a redirect header which is not followed by the proxying layer. That means the workload can request that the client redirect in the browser/location. The primary use-case is for OAuth 2.0 authorization flows.

Release passes HTTP Host header which was absent in the watchdog.

Changelog:

• Expose scale-function endpoint via the gateway @alexellis

This change is described in Swagger and exposes the /system/scale-function endpoint (protected by auth, if enabled)

For OpenFaaS on Docker Swarm as of 0.8.6 we will enable basic-auth by default if using ./deploy_stack.sh

Gateway changes:

• Enable basic auth on gateway #691

Watchdog:

• None

• Gateway
  Add health and info endpoints #690

• Watchdog
  No changes

Gateway UI:

• Message for people without JavaScript turned on #647
• A helpful landing page for no function selected / no functions deployed #512

This release updates container images to the latest versions so the whole release can be checked out at a known version.

• Feature: Add direct_functions mode to gateway for tuning #592
• Fix bug in watchdog for default value of combine_output #601
• Watchdog gains graceful shutdown via #591

• Logging of forwarded calls is reduced from three lines to 1 with #577
• Watchdog gains graceful shutdown via #591
• Watchdog gains healthcheck over HTTP via #583
• Fix bug in watchdog #601

This release contains two changes for the watchdog:

• port environmental variable is enabled for local debugging outside of Docker
• combine_output can be set to false so that stderr goes to the container logs rather than the function response. By default this remains set to true to maintain compatibility.

This release adds function readiness to the OpenFaaS UI meaning a function cannot be invoked until it has been shown to be available by the cluster.

• Move to http.Client for reverse proxying #554

• Expose endpoint from back-end provider to query individual function's data #545 via @alexellis
• Extend model to support AvailableReplicas #546 via @imikushin
