1.16.0-rc1 (June 12, 2023)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• api: The /v1/health/connect/ and /v1/health/ingress/ endpoints now immediately return 403 "Permission Denied" errors whenever a token with insufficient service:read permissions is provided. Prior to this change, the endpoints returned a success code with an empty result list when a token with insufficient permissions was provided. [GH-17424]
• peering: Removed deprecated backward-compatibility behavior.
  Upstream overrides in service-defaults will now only apply to peer upstreams when the peer field is provided.
  Visit the 1.16.x upgrade instructions for more information. [GH-16957]
