## edge-23.12.2 This edge release includes a restructuring of the proxy's balancer along with accompanying new metrics. The new minimum supported Kubernetes version is 1.22. * Restructured the proxy's balancer ([#11750]): balancer changes may now occur independently of request processing. Fail-fast circuit breaking is enforced on the balancer's queue so that requests can't get stuck in a queue indefinitely. This new balancer is instrumented with new metrics: request (in-queue) latency histograms, failfast states, discovery updates counts, and balancer endpoint pool sizes. * Changed how the policy controller updates HTTPRoute status so that it doesn't affect statuses from other non-linkerd controllers ([#11705]; fixes [#11659]) [#11750]: https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/pull/11750 [#11705]: https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/pull/11705 [#11659]: https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/pull/11659 -----BEGIN SSH SIGNATURE----- U1NIU0lHAAAAAQAAADMAAAALc3NoLWVkMjU1MTkAAAAgKsHYzTTiJc883LmaPRYSoBhwFm oAaV1b0j4q1C1YYDsAAAADZ2l0AAAAAAAAAAZzaGE1MTIAAABTAAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5 AAAAQJ7En6fd9MFH022zea4nvy/qW7uzvE5/zMJNc0z02Sgha5A4MDBaMjbW2VkZF5W2QI S/gi9sCcPmku4D90PPhgw= -----END SSH SIGNATURE-----
