🎉 Welcome to the v2.3.9 release of the kgateway project!
Release Notes
Changes since v2.3.8
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where a TrafficPolicy using OAuth2 would stay permanently broken if the OpenID provider was unreachable the first time kgateway discovered its configuration, for example when both were restarting together. The discovery failure was latched until the control plane was restarted. kgateway now retries discovery in the background and re-translates affected policies once the provider becomes reachable. Retries start 30 seconds after a failure and back off exponentially, so recovery from a prolonged provider outage can take up to a few minutes. (#14577)
- Fixed an apiKeyAuth TrafficPolicy selecting two Secrets that hold the same api-key value emitting a duplicate credential, which Envoy rejects, freezing xDS delivery for the entire listener while the policy still reported Accepted. Identical credentials are now collapsed, and two clients sharing one key value fail translation with the policy reporting Accepted=False. (#14612)
- Fixed a bug where backends with more than one label produced a different endpoint hash on every recomputation, causing kgateway to publish a new EDS version and push endpoint updates to every connected proxy even when the endpoints had not changed. (#14677)
