## stable-2.5.0
This release adds [Helm support](https://linkerd.io/2/tasks/install-helm/),
[tap authentication and authorization via RBAC](https://linkerd.io/tap-rbac),
traffic split stats, dynamic logging levels, a new cluster monitoring dashboard,
and countless performance enhancements and bug fixes.
For more details, see the announcement blog post:
https://linkerd.io/2019/08/20/announcing-linkerd-2.5/
To install this release, run: `curl https://run.linkerd.io/install | sh`
**Upgrade notes**: Use the `linkerd upgrade` command to upgrade the control
plane. This command ensures that all existing control plane's configuration and
mTLS secrets are retained. For more details, please see the [upgrade
instructions](https://linkerd.io/2/tasks/upgrade/#upgrade-notice-stable-2-5-0).
**Special thanks to**: @alenkacz, @codeman9, @ethan-daocloud, @jonathanbeber,
and @Pothulapati!
**Full release notes**:
* CLI
* **New** Updated `linkerd tap`, `linkerd top` and `linkerd profile --tap` to
require `tap.linkerd.io` RBAC privileges. See https://linkerd.io/tap-rbac
for more info
* **New** Added traffic split metrics via `linkerd stat trafficsplits`
subcommand
* Made the `linkerd routes` command traffic split aware
* Introduced the `linkerd --as` flag which allows users to impersonate another
user for Kubernetes operations
* Introduced the `--all-namespaces` (`-A`) option to the `linkerd get`,
`linkerd edges` and `linkerd stat` commands to retrieve resources across
all namespaces
* Improved the installation report produced by the `linkerd check` command
to include the control plane pods' live status
* Fixed bug in the `linkerd upgrade config` command that was causing it to
crash
* Introduced `--use-wait-flag` to the `linkerd install-cni` command, to
configure the CNI plugin to use the `-w` flag for `iptables` commands
* Introduced `--restrict-dashboard-privileges` flag to `linkerd install`
command, to disallow tap in the dashboard
* Fixed `linkerd uninject` not removing `linkerd.io/inject: enabled`
annotations
* Fixed `linkerd stat -h` example commands (thanks @ethan-daocloud!)
* Fixed incorrect "meshed" count in `linkerd stat` when resources share the
same label selector for pods (thanks @jonathanbeber!)
* Added pod status to the output of the `linkerd stat` command (thanks
@jonathanbeber!)
* Added namespace information to the `linkerd edges` command output and a new
`-o wide` flag that shows the identity of the client and server if known
* Added a check to the `linkerd check` command to validate the user has
privileges necessary to create CronJobs
* Added a new check to the `linkerd check --pre` command validating that if
PSP is enabled, the NET_RAW capability is available
* Controller
* **New** Disabled all unauthenticated tap endpoints. Tap requests now require
[RBAC authentication and authorization](https://linkerd.io/tap-rbac)
* The `l5d-require-id` header is now set on tap requests so that a connection
is established over TLS
* Introduced a new RoleBinding in the `kube-system` namespace to provide
[access to tap](https://linkerd.io/tap-rbac)
* Added HTTP security headers on all dashboard responses
* Added support for namespace-level proxy override annotations (thanks
@Pothulapati!)
* Added resource limits when HA is enabled (thanks @Pothulapati!)
* Added pod anti-affinity rules to the control plane pods when HA is enabled
(thanks @Pothulapati!)
* Fixed a crash in the destination service when an endpoint does not have a
`TargetRef`
* Updated the destination service to return `InvalidArgument` for external
name services so that the proxy does not immediately fail the request
* Fixed an issue with discovering StatefulSet pods via their unique hostname
* Fixed an issue with traffic split where outbound proxy stats are missing
* Upgraded the service profile CRD to v1alpha2. No changes required for users
currently using v1alpha1
* Updated the control plane's pod security policy to restrict workloads from
running as `root` in the CNI mode (thanks @codeman9!)
* Introduced optional cluster heartbeat cron job
* Bumped Prometheus to 2.11.1
* Bumped Grafana to 6.2.5
* Proxy
* **New** Added a new `/proxy-log-level` endpoint to update the log level at
runtime
* **New** Updated the tap server to only admit requests from the control
plane's tap controller
* Added `request_handle_us` histogram to measure proxy overhead
* Fixed gRPC client cancellations getting recorded as failures rather than
as successful
* Fixed a bug where tap would stop streaming after a short amount of time
* Fixed a bug that could cause the proxy to leak service discovery resolutions
to the Destination controller
* Web UI
* **New** Added "Kubernetes cluster monitoring" Grafana dashboard with cluster
and containers metrics
* Updated the web server to use the new tap APIService. If the `linkerd-web`
service account is not authorized to tap resources, users will see a link to
documentation to remedy the error
