## Istio 0.3 We have made some changes to Istio release model. Starting 0.3.0, the releases will be drively by monthly schedule. Going forward, you can expect a new release between 15th to 25th of every month. You can download the current version by visiting https://github.com/istio/istio/releases.
Istio 0.3 is our third release, focused on performance, stability, and reliability, as well as a great developer experience. Each individual feature will go through the Alpha, Beta, and Stable phases. Please note that the stages are applied to individual features within the product, not to the product as a whole. Here is a high level description of what these labels means:
We expect to encourage production usage of Istio 0.3, which will include the following:
- Extensive integration and load testing of common user scenarios. ## Feature Phase Definition
- Improved support for debugging and tracing of common issues.
- Basic HA configurations and instructions for scaling Istio. | | Alpha | Beta | Stable
- Baseline performance numbers and targets for each component. |-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------
- Support for incremental adoption of Istio into Kubernetes clusters. | **Purpose** | Demo-able, works end-to-end but has limitations | Usable in production, not a toy anymore | Dependable, production hardened
- Support for incremental adoption of mutual TLS throughout an Istio Mesh. | **API** | No guarantees on backward compatibility | APIs are versioned | Dependable, production worthy. APIs are versioned, with automated version conversion for back compat
- Basic Authorization using RBAC. | **Performance** | Random | Random | Perf (latency/scale) is quantified, documented, with guarantees against regression.
- Improved support for VMs joining an Istio Mesh. | **Deprecation Policy** | None | Weak - 3 months | Dependable, Firm 1 year
- Improved support for non-Kubernetes use cases.
- Support for backwards compatibility and Istio Upgrades.
## Istio 0.4 ## Istio Features (as of 0.3.0)
Here is the map of our existing features and their phases. This information will be updated after every monthly release.
Our fourth release, 0.4, will include support for merging multiple Istio installations into a single Istio Mesh, as well as additional features based on community feedback. Here are some examples of features we could work on: ### Config /APIs
