This release introduces substantial proxy improvements as well as new observability and security functionality. * CLI * Added the `linkerd alpha stat` command, which uses the smi-metrics API; the latter enables access to metrics to be controlled with RBAC * Controller * Added support for configuring service profile timeouts `(x-linkerd-timeout)` via OpenAPI spec (thanks @lewiscowper!) * Web UI * Improved the Grafana dashboards to use a globing operator for Prometheus in order to avoid producing queries that are too large (thanks @mmiller1!) * Helm * Improved the `linkerd2` chart README (thanks @lundbird!) * Proxy * Fixed a bug that could cause log levels to be processed incorrectly
