v1.6.2

Prepare v1.6.2 release (#328)

## Summary
- Adds the v1.6.2 changelog entry covering everything since v1.6.1 —
primarily dependency bumps plus the .NET codegen library swap (#266).
- Recommending **patch** (not minor): no user-facing API changes;
consistent with the v1.6.0 → v1.6.1 precedent (also dep-only).

## Test plan
- [ ] Merge this PR.
- [ ] Tag `v1.6.2` on master and push to trigger the `release` workflow
(goreleaser + chocolatey).
- [ ] Verify the GitHub release, Homebrew tap, and Chocolatey package
publish cleanly.

v1.6.0

Configurable package namespaces/prefixes (#247)

Fixes: #246 

Implemented according to the proposal I posted in #246.

Tested manually with the CertManager CRDs, with and without the new CLI
option, for `nodejs`, `python`, `dotnet` and `java`. As it needs to be,
without the namespace/prefix option, I could verify the default value
was still used. With the new namespace/prefix option, the value was
integrated correctly in the generated files.

v1.5.4

Fix NodeJS metadata type (#159)

All of our languages except NodeJS use
`SchemaPackageWithObjectMetaType`. As a result, Node exposes only input
types for object metadata which makes it awkward to consume downstream.

I'm assuming https://github.com/pulumi/crd2pulumi/pull/143 didn't change
this for backwards-compatibility reasons, or maybe it was overlooked. I
_think_ it is safe to continue generating the `ObjectMeta` type alias
(in case users are importing it) but use the input/output types
(matching the upstream k8s types) on resources.

Edit: 

> // schemaPackageWithObjectMetaType is the Pulumi schema package used to
> // generate code for languages that need an ObjectMeta type (Python, Go, and .NET)

So this seems intentional. For whatever reason, using this with Node has
the effect of generating input/output types matching upstream's types,
which seems desirable.

Fixes https://github.com/pulumi/crd2pulumi/issues/158

v1.5.3

• Fix crd2pulumi not generating all CRD versions. #152
• Fix crd2pulumi generating packages and types with incorrect group names. #152

v1.5.2

• Set the pulumi-kubernetes dependency for Python packages to v4.18.0. #148
• Fixed generating Go types for StringMapArrayMap types. #147

v1.5.1

• Fixed Patch varaints not generated for types that end in List. #146

v1.5.0

Added

• Patch variant resources are now generated for all custom resources. Patch resources allow you to modify and an existing custom resource. For more details on using Patch resources, see our documentation.

Changed

• The Pulumi schema generation now utilizes the library from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider, replacing the previous custom implementation. This resolves a number of correctness issues when generating code. #143
• Golang package generation now correctly adheres to the --goPath CLI flag, aligning with the behavior of other languages. #89
• CRDs with oneOf fields are now correctly typed and not generic. #97

Fixed

• Various code generation correctness issues have been addressed, including:
  • Python packages can now be successfully imported and consumed by Pulumi Python programs. #113
  • Golang packages no longer produce compilation errors due to duplicate declarations. #104
  • NodeJS package names are now properly generated. #70
  • Dotnet packages now include the correct imports. #49
  • NodeJS object metadata types no longer accept undefined values. #34

v1.4.0

• Fix unpinned Kubernetes version in generated nodejs resources. #121
• Fix .NET generated code to use provider v4. #134
• Fix invalid generated code due to unnamed properties. #135
• Fix a panic when generating code with non-primitive defaults. #136
• Add Java generation support. #129

v1.3.0

Prep v1.3.0 release
