conduit v21.12.1 Release Notes

  • 🚀 This edge release enables by default EndpointSlices in the destination controller, which unblocks any functionality that is specific to EndpointSlices such as as topology-aware hints. It also contains a couple of ⬆️ internal cleanups and upgrades, by our external contributors!

    • ➕ Added new check to linkerd check verifying the nodes aren't running the old Docker container runtime and attempting to run proxy-init as root at the same time, which doesn't work (thanks @alex-berger!)
    • 0️⃣ Enabled EndpointSlices in the destination controller by default
    • ✂ Removed extraneous empty lines and fixed the formatting of warnings in the output of linkerd check -o short
    • ⬆️ Upgraded to go 1.17 (thanks @Juneezee!)
    • ✂ Removed old protobuf definitions from the codebase (thanks @krzysztofdrys!)
