## edge-20.11.5

This edge release improves the proxy's support high-traffic workloads. It also
contains the first steps towards decoupling non-core Linkerd components, the
first iteration being a new `linkerd jaeger` sub-command for installing tracing.
Please note this is still a work in progress.

* Addressed some issues reported around clients seeing max-concurrency errors by
  increasing the default in-flight request limit to 100K pending requests
* Have the proxy appropriately set `content-type` when synthesizing gRPC error
  responses
* Bumped the `proxy-init` image to `v1.3.8` which is based off of
  `buster-20201117-slim` to reduce potential security vulnerabilities
* No longer panic in rare cases when `linkerd-config` doesn't have an entry for
  `Global` configs (thanks @hodbn!)
* Work in progress: the `/jaeger` directory now contains the charts and commands
  for installing the tracing component.
