Summary

This RECOMMENDED release removes support for ARMv7 platforms and fixes a critical bug where native-sidecar proxies could enter an error state upon container exit.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • Support for ARMv7 architecture, including 32-bit Raspberry Pi platforms, has been removed. Users on these platforms must migrate to a supported architecture.

Migration Steps

  1. If you are running Linkerd on an ARMv7 (32-bit) platform, you must migrate to a supported architecture.

✨ New Features

  • The `app.kubernetes.io/version` label now correctly lists `linkerd/cli` instead of `linkerd/helm` when installing a Linkerd extension using the CLI.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where native-sidecar proxies would enter an error state after the main container exited (related to issue #14289).
  • Fixed an issue where the CLI version string in extensions was incorrect (related to helm installation labeling).
