Release Notes

kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api (kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api)

v1.4.1

Compare Source

Warning: Regarding the Experimental CRDs - please note that the experimental CRDs for this release are too large for a standard kubectl apply. You may receive an error like metadata.annotations: Too long: may not be more than 262144 bytes. To work around this please use kubectl apply --server-side -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/download/v1.4.0/experimental-install.yaml. We're looking into ways to reduce the size for future releases to avoid this.

Changes Since v1.4.0

BackendTLSPolicy

• BackendTLSPolicy supports only a single targetRef per policy while Gateway API works through edge cases around representing the status of multiple targetRefs in a single policy. This restriction is expected to be lifted in a future release. (#​4316, #​4298)
• SAN validation in BackendTLSPolicy is correctly marked as standard. (#​4194)
• BackendTLSPolicy status is correctly marked as a subresource. (#​4245)

Conformance

• Conformance tests for mesh routing with weights have been made faster. (#​4315)
• BackendTLSPolicy conformance tests are included in the GATEWAY-HTTP profile. (#​4223)
