Description

2.1.16

2026-03-26

  • Added support for the Gateway API.

  • Added support for cluster rate limiting, with multi-timescale and multi-dimensional policies.

  • Added support for Knative integration and Kingress listeners.

  • Added support for binding route-level Wasm plugins to Ingress routes through annotations.

  • The circuit breaking policy now supports sliding window statistics.

  • The access log filter now supports domain-based sampling rules and a default sampling rate.

  • Fixed an issue where fallback requests lost their request body in specific scenarios.

  • Fixed an issue where full-link grayscale release configurations failed to apply in specific scenarios.

  • Fixed an issue where user-defined certificates had an empty expiration time in specific scenarios.

2.1.14

2026-02-04

  • Fixed a bug in how the Wasm filter handles request data buffers.

  • Optimized memory usage for AI features.

  • Introduced a global request rate limiting mechanism. You can dynamically control the maximum number of requests across all connections within a single I/O loop by using runtime configuration or a Wasm module.

  • Added the tenant ID to Istio metrics.

2.1.13

2025-12-25

  • Added support for routing in cluster header mode.

  • Adjusted the gRPC keepalive time between the pilot agent and Envoy to prevent xDS connections from closing due to timeouts.

  • Increased the default SDS timeout to 300 s.

  • Limited Wasm rebuilds in non-recovery scenarios to a maximum of two concurrent VMs.

  • Added support for configuring multiple domains when connecting to Nacos over MCP.

  • Fixed a Redis failure triggered by service configuration updates.

  • Enhanced WAF functionality.

2.1.12

2025-12-1

  • Optimized the gateway's overload handling logic.

  • Added support for configuring the Redis asynchronous client buffer within Wasm plugins.

  • Improved the stability of Redis access from the gateway.

  • Added support for MCP protocol translation in direct MCP proxy scenarios.

2.1.11

2025-10-24

  • WAF integration now supports the remote xagent mode.

  • Optimized the plugin rebuild logic.

  • Resolved an initialization issue when using Kubernetes service sources with a large number of namespaces.

  • Fixed an issue causing 503 errors during key rotation when using Kubernetes service sources.

2.1.10

2025-09-19

  • Fixed an issue where log fields for fallback requests were displayed incorrectly.

  • Optimized overall memory usage.

  • Improved configuration propagation speed for environments with a large number of domains.

2.1.9

2025-08-13

  • Added support for passive health checks.

  • Added support for configuring the time to first byte (TTFB) timeout for LLM API streaming scenarios.

  • Fixed a compatibility issue introduced in the previous release.

2.1.8

2025-08-11

  • Added support for listening to Gateway API resource configurations in user ACK clusters.

  • Added support for integration with Cloudflow.

  • Improved the route configuration push mechanism to prevent configuration-related routing failures.

  • Optimized memory usage for Wasm plugins during frequent configuration updates to improve plugin stability.

  • Enhanced the security of Lua plugins by disabling high-risk operations such as loadlib.

  • Fixed an issue where the WAF integration module would exit unexpectedly in certain edge cases.

2.1.7

2025-07-08

Optimized auto scaling and reduced resource overhead when many plugins are enabled.

2.1.6
