## stable-2.13.6

This stable release fixes a regression introduced in stable-2.13.0 which
resulted in proxies shedding load too aggressively while under moderate request
load to a single service ([#11055]). In addition, it updates the base image for
the `linkerd-cni` initcontainer to resolve a CVE in `libdb` ([#11196]), fixes a
race condition in the Destination controller that could cause it to crash
([#11163]), as well as fixing a number of other issues.

* Control Plane
  * Fixed a race condition in the destination controller that could cause it to
    panic ([#11169]; fixes [#11163])
  * Improved the granularity of logging levels in the control plane ([#11147])

* Proxy
  * Changed the default HTTP request queue capacities for the inbound and
    outbound proxies back to 10,000 requests ([#11198]; fixes [#11055])

* CLI
  * Updated extension CLI commands to prefer the `--registry` flag over the
    `LINKERD_DOCKER_REGISTRY` environment variable, making the precedence more
    consistent (thanks @harsh020!) (see [#11144])

* CNI
  * Updated `linkerd-cni` base image to resolve [CVE-2019-8457] in `libdb`
    ([#11196])
  * Changed the CNI plugin installer to always run in 'chained' mode; the plugin
    will now wait until another CNI plugin is installed before appending its
    configuration ([#10849])
  * Removed `hostNetwork: true` from linkerd-cni Helm chart templates
    ([#11158]; fixes [#11141]) (thanks @abhijeetgauravm!)

* Multicluster
  * Fixed the `linkerd multicluster check` command failing in the presence of
    lots of mirrored services ([#10764])
