 - **Improved** the Envoy sidecar. The Envoy sidecar now exits when it crashes. This change makes it easier to see whether or not the Envoy sidecar is healthy.
 - **Improved** Pilot to skip sending redundant configuration to Envoy when no changes are required.
+- **Improved** headless services to avoid conflicts with different services on the same port.
+- **Disabled** default [circuit breakers](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/circuit-breaking/).

+### Regex Engine Changes
+
+To prevent excessive resource consumption from large regular expressions, Envoy has moved to a new regular expression engine based on [`re2`](https://github.com/google/re2). Previously, `std::regex` was used. These two engines may have slightly different syntax; in particular, the regex fields are now limited to 100 bytes.
+
+If you depend on specific behavior of the old regex engine, you can opt out of this change by adding the environment variable `PILOT_ENABLE_UNSAFE_REGEX=true` to the Pilot deployment. Note: this will be removed in future releases.

 ## Configuration management
 
 We introduced OpenAPI v3 schemas in the Kubernetes [Custom Resource Definitions (CRD)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources/#customresourcedefinitions) of Istio resources. The schemas describe the Istio resources and help ensure the Istio resources you create and modify are structurally correct.
