+## [v0.9.12](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/compare/v0.9.11...v0.9.12) (2019-05-21)
+
+### Bug Fixes

+* **k8s:** fix type error when Kubernetes is not running ([412fe573](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/412fe573))
+* **k8s:** ensure test results get stored if test fails ([7ec1bae8](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/7ec1bae8))

+* **logger:** add info symbol to active basic entries ([08bb5945](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/08bb5945))
+
+### Code Refactoring
+
+* **core:** tighten config validation and clean up some cruft ([39fb3125](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/39fb3125))
+* **core:** fold push task into build task ([733e2dbc](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/733e2dbc))
+* **dashboard:** use useReducer in useApi hook ([8bc67d0b](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/8bc67d0b))
+* **dashboard:** remove LoadWrapper ([29ddc83b](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/29ddc83b))
+* **dashboard:** use a single generic node info container ([09d3d58c](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/09d3d58c))
+
+### Features
+
+* add test/task statuses to get status command ([a1e2122b](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/a1e2122b))
+* render results as JSON for json logger ([4ca179e6](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/4ca179e6))
+* **dashboard:** overall dashboard improvements ([253316f2](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/253316f2))
+* **dashboard:** implement new overview page ([d3ae347f](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/d3ae347f))
+
+### Improvement
+
+* font sizes and header ([55f7d961](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/55f7d961))
+* **commands:** added task/test fields to get-status response ([1f34f294](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/1f34f294))
+* **dashboard:** fix ui issues ([488369ec](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/488369ec))
+* **dashboard:** start dashboard before init and keep same port ([e3bc9ee1](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/e3bc9ee1))
+* **task-graph:** raise concurrency limit ([a6343d51](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/commit/a6343d51))
+
+### BREAKING CHANGE
+
+
+This removes the previously deprecated ability to do nested formatting
+strings. It's not a helpful feature for most cases, and just complicates
+the parser logic. Also wasn't documented really, so it should be safe to
+remove without a minor version bump.

-The Garden orchestrator itself doesn't care where your services are built, tested and deployed. However, the current selection of plug-ins does support local development better than remote development. For Kubernetes development in particular, it is currently much easier to set up the `local-kubernetes` plugin, and feedback loops are generally faster than with the more generic `kubernetes` plugin (see [this example](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/tree/v0.9.11/examples/remote-k8s) for how to configure remote clusters).
