v1.5.0 / 2019-01-10

After a testing period of 30 days, there were no additional bugs found or features introduced. Due to no bugs being reported over an in total 41 days period, we feel no more pre-releases are necessary for a stable release.

This release's focus was a large architectural change in order to improve performance and resource usage of kube-state-metrics drastically. Special thanks to @mxinden for his hard work on this! See the changelog of the pre-releases for more detailed information and related pull requests.
