Since [1.8 was released on November 19th](/news/releases/1.8.x/announcing-1.8/), support for 1.7 will end on February 19th, 2021. + +At that point we will stop back-porting fixes for security issues and critical bugs to 1.7, so we encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of Istio ({{}}). If you don't do this you may put yourself in the position of having to do a major upgrade on a short timeframe to pick up a critical fix. + +We care about you and your clusters, so please be kind to yourself and upgrade.
