changes since v4.3.0

✨ New Features

Note: Only minor version updates were applied in this release.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• (kustomize/v2, go/v4): Corrected the generation of manifests under config/crd/patches to ensure the /convert service patch is only created for webhooks configured with --conversion. (#4280)
• (go/v4): Fixed path configuration for webhook markers generated for core types with non-"core" group values, ensuring accurate path handling in core-type webhooks. (#4301)
• (go/v4): Resolved misleading comments regarding metrics configuration for certs in cmd/main.go, providing clarity on secure metrics setup. (#4245)
• (go/v4): Enabled the --make=false option for webhook creation, ensuring consistency with other command options and improved flexibility. (#4275)
• (kustomize/v2, go/v4): Moved the cert-manager uncomment block to the top of kustomization.yaml to enhance visibility (#4283)
• (Impact only for library users): ⚠️ Restructured internal layout to move main.go boilerplate into the cmd/ directory. This change is relevant for users consuming the framework as a library and Kubebuilder maintainers only, providing a cleaner separation of code. (#4246)
