Summary

Waypoint 0.2.0 is an open source project that provides developers with a consistent workflow to build, deploy, and release applications across any platform. It enables developers to get their applications from development to production in a single file and deploy using a single command: `waypoint up`. This version includes configuration syncing, templating, and path variables, which allow developers to better manage and deploy their applications. Configuration values can be synced with external systems such as Kubernetes ConfigMaps, HashiCorp Vault, and Amazon Parameter Store, making it easier to use dynamic configuration services. The `waypoint.hcl` file can now use variables to access dynamic information about build artifacts and deploys, and a new family of functions for templating external files such as Dockerfiles and Kubernetes configs are available. This feature does not require any additional sidecars or cluster configuration, making it easier to use with all types of apps. The `waypoint exec` command now behaves better in non-PTY environments, and the Waypoint server supports online backup and restore.
