    • http: fixed a bug where large unbufferable responses were not tracked in stats and logs correctly.

    • http: fixed a crashing bug where gRPC local replies would cause segfaults when upstream access logging was on.

    • http: mitigated a race condition with the where it could trigger while actively flushing a pending write buffer for a downstream connection.

    • http: added support for preserve_external_request_id that represents whether the x-request-id should not be reset on edge entry inside mesh

    • http: changed sendLocalReply to send percent-encoded GrpcMessage.

    • http: added a configuration option to allow Envoy to send and process x-custom- prefixed headers rather than x-envoy.

    • http: added dynamic forward proxy support.

    • http: tracking the active stream and dumping state in Envoy crash handlers. This can be disabled by building with

    • jwt_authn: make filter’s parsing of JWT more flexible, allowing syntax like jwt=eyJhbGciOiJS...ZFnFIw,extra=7,realm=123

    • listener: added and source port filter chain matching.

    • lua: exposed functions to Lua to verify digital signature.

    • original_src filter: added the .

    • rbac: migrated from v2alpha to v2.

    • redis: add support for Redis cluster custom cluster type.

    • redis: automatically route commands using cluster slots for Redis cluster.

    • redis: add support for zpopmax and zpopmin commands.

    • redis: added max_buffer_size_before_flush to batch commands together until the encoder buffer hits a certain size, and to control how quickly the buffer is flushed if it is not full.

    • redis: added auth support downstream_auth_password for downstream client authentication, and to configure authentication passwords for upstream server clusters.

    • retry: added a retry predicate that rejects canary hosts.

    • router: add support for configuring a on incoming requests.

    • router: added ability to control retry back-off intervals via retry policy.

    • router: added ability to issue a hedged retry in response to a per try timeout via a .

    • router: per try timeouts will no longer start before the downstream request has been received in full by the router.This ensures that the per try timeout does not account for slow downstreams and that will not start before the global timeout.

    • router: added RouteAction’s auto_host_rewrite_header to allow upstream host header substitution with some other header’s value

    • router: added support for UPSTREAM_REMOTE_ADDRESS .

    • router: add ability to reject a request that includes invalid values for headers configured in strict_check_headers

    • runtime: added support for .

    • runtime: added support for statically specifying the runtime in the bootstrap configuration.

    • runtime: support added to layered runtime configuration.

    • sandbox: added CSRF sandbox.

    • server: added server state statistic.

    • server: added statistic.

    • subset: added list_as_any option to the subset lb which allows matching metadata against any of the values in a list value on the endpoints.

    • tools: added support for router check tool tests.

    • tracing: add trace sampling configuration to the route, to override the route level.

    • upstream: added for the connection pool circuit breaker.

    • upstream: an EDS management server can now force removal of a host that is still passing active health checking by first marking the host as failed via EDS health check and subsequently removing it in a future update. This is a mechanism to work around a race condition in which an EDS implementation may remove a host before it has stopped passing active HC, thus causing the host to become stranded until a future update.

    • upstream: added an option that allows ignoring new hosts for the purpose of load balancing calculations until they have been health checked for the first time.

    • upstream: added runtime error checking to prevent setting dns type to STRICT_DNS or LOGICAL_DNS when custom resolver name is specified.

    • upstream: added possibility to override fallback_policy per specific selector in .

    • upstream: the logical DNS cluster now displays the current resolved IP address in admin output instead of 0.0.0.0.

    Deprecated
