Summary

This release updates several dependencies and modifies the CLI to better handle Gateway API CRDs. Crucially, it changes the default tracing port to 4317 (OpenTelemetry standard).

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • The default port for tracing has changed from the OpenCensus port (55678) to the OpenTelemetry port (4317). If you rely on the old default port for tracing ingestion, you must update your configuration to use 4317.

Migration Steps

  1. If you are using tracing, ensure your tracing configuration points to port 4317 instead of the previous default of 55678.

✨ New Features

  • CLI now ensures that required v1 Gateway API resources are present.
  • CLI provides a more specific command to install Gateway API CRDs if they are missing.
  • Default port for tracing is now set to the OpenTelemetry port (4317).

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • CLI now checks that the Gateway API version includes v1 resources.
  • Multicluster tests now wait for the cluster store to be populated.
