([Issue 25116](https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/25116)) +- **Fixed** an issue where out of order events may cause the Istiod update queue to get stuck. This resulted in proxies with stale configuration. +- **Fixed** `istioctl upgrade` so that it no longer checks remote component versions when using `--dry-run`. ([Issue 24865](https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/24865)) +- **Fixed** long log messages for clusters with many gateways. +- **Fixed** outlier detection to only fire on user configured errors and not depend on success rate. ([Issue 25220](https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/25220)) +- **Fixed** demo profile to use port 15021 as the status port. ([Issue #25626](https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/25626)) +- **Fixed** Galley to properly handle errors from Kubernetes tombstones. +- **Fixed** an issue where manually enabling TLS/mTLS for communication between a sidecar and an egress gateway did not work. ([Issue 23910](https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/23910)) +- **Fixed** Bookinfo demo application to verify if a specified namespace exists and if not, use the default namespace. +- **Added** a label to the `pilot_xds` metric in order to give more information on data plane versions without scraping the data plane. +- **Added** `CA_ADDR` field to allow configuring the certificate authority address on the egress gateway configuration and fixed the `istio-certs` mount secret name. +- **Updated** Bookinfo demo application to latest versions of libraries. +- **Updated** Istio to disable auto mTLS when sending traffic to headless services without a sidecar.
