* bin/helm-build automatically updates version in values.yaml
Have the Helm charts building script (`bin/helm-build`) update the
linkerd version in the `values.yaml` files according to the tagged
version, thus removing the need of doing this manually on every release.
This is akin to the update we do in `version.go` at CLI build time.
Note that `shellcheck` is issuing some warnings about this script, but
that's on code that was already there, so that will be handled in an
followup PR.
## stable-2.7.0
This release adds support for integrating Linkerd's PKI with an external
certificate issuer such as [`cert-manager`] as well as streamlining the
certificate rotation process in general. For more details about cert-manager
and certificate rotation, see the
[docs](https://linkerd.io/2/tasks/use_external_certs/). This release also
includes performance improvements to the dashboard, reduced memory usage of the
proxy, various improvements to the Helm chart, and much much more.
To install this release, run: `curl https://run.linkerd.io/install | sh`
**Upgrade notes**: This release includes breaking changes to our Helm charts.

**Full release notes**:
* CLI
* Updated the mTLS trust anchor checks to eliminate false positives caused by
extra trailing spaces

don't fail when the external version endpoint is unreachable
(thanks @mayankshah1607!)
* Added a new `tap` APIService check to aid with uncovering Kubernetes API
aggregatation layer issues (thanks @droidnoob!)

this is done through `linkerd check --pre --linkerd-cni-enabled` before
installation and `linkerd check` after installation if the CNI plugin is
present
* Added support for the `--as-group` flag so that users can impersonate
groups for Kubernetes operations (thanks @mayankshah1607!)
* Added HA specific checks to `linkerd check` to ensure that the `kube-system`
namespace has the `config.linkerd.io/admission-webhooks:disabled`
label set
* Fixed a problem causing the presence of unnecessary empty fields in
generated resource definitions (thanks @mayankshah1607)
* Added the ability to pass both port numbers and port ranges to
`--skip-inbound-ports` and `--skip-outbound-ports` (thanks to @javaducky!)

to use them as targets in the CLI subcommands

`--identity-issuer-key-file` and `identity-trust-anchors-file` to `linkerd
upgrade` to support trust anchor and issuer certificate rotation
* Added a check that ensures using `--namespace` and `--all-namespaces`
results in an error as they are mutually exclusive
* Added a `Dashboard.Replicas` parameter to the Linkerd Helm chart to allow
configuring the number of dashboard replicas (thanks @KIVagant!)
* Removed redundant service profile check (thanks @alenkacz!)
* Updated `uninject` command to work with namespace resources
(thanks @mayankshah1607!)

@mayankshah1607!)
* Added checks to `linkerd check --preinstall` ensuring Kubernetes Secrets
can be created and accessed
* Fixed `linkerd tap` sometimes displaying incorrect pod names for unmeshed
IPs that match multiple running pods
* Made `linkerd install --ignore-cluster` and `--skip-checks` faster
* Fixed a bug causing `linkerd upgrade` to fail when used with
`--from-manifest`
* Made `--cluster-domain` an install-only flag (thanks @bmcstdio!)
* Updated `check` to ensure that proxy trust anchors match configuration
(thanks @ereslibre!)
* Added condition to the `linkerd stat` command that requires a window size
of at least 15 seconds to work properly with Prometheus

applied to debug containers (thanks @javaducky!)
* Added check for the Subject Alternate Name attributes to the API server
when access restrictions have been enabled (thanks @javaducky!)

Linkerd provided Prometheus instance to scrape for their own labels
(thanks @daxmc99!)
* Fixed an issue with CNI config parsing
* Fixed a race condition in the `linkerd-web` service
* Updated Prometheus to 2.15.2 (thanks @Pothulapati)
* Increased minimum kubernetes version to 1.13.0
* Added support for pod ip and service cluster ip lookups in the destination
service
* Added recommended kubernetes labels to control-plane
* Added the `--wait-before-exit-seconds` flag to linkerd inject for the proxy
sidecar to delay the start of its shutdown process (a huge commit from
@KIVagant, thanks!)
* Added a pre-sign check to the identity service
* Fixed inject failures for pods with security context capabilities
* Added `conntrack` to the `debug` container to help with connection tracking
debugging
* Fixed a bug in `tap` where mismatch cluster domain and trust domain caused
`tap` to hang
* Fixed an issue in the `identity` RBAC resource which caused start up errors
in k8s 1.6 (thanks @Pothulapati!)

There are a few dangling references to old release versions in our charts and readmes.
I've removed as many of these references as possible so that we no longer need to worry about them getting out of date. The one reference that remains is `cniPluginVersion` and this will need to be manually updated as part of the release process.

* The `linkerd-cni` chart should set proper annotations/labels for the namespace
When installing through Helm, the `linkerd-cni` chart will (by default)
install itself under the same namespace ("linkerd") that the `linkerd` chart will be
installed aftewards. So it needs to set up the proper annotations and labels.
* Fix Helm install when disabling init containers
To install linkerd using Helm after having installed linkerd's CNI plugin, one needs to `--set noInitContainer=true`.
But to determine whether to use init containers or not, we weren't
evaluating that, but instead `Values.proxyInit`, which is indeed null
when installing through the CLI but not when installing with Helm. So
init containers were being set despite having passed `--set
noInitContainers=true`.
