What’s New in Aeraki Mesh 1.4.0? Istio 1.18 Support and Major Changes
Aeraki Mesh 1.4.0 (codename Heshun) released on August 13, 2023 adds Istio 1.18.x compatibility, removes Envoy Dubbo/Thrift filters, introduces extensive changelog updates, lists contributors from major tech firms, and provides reference links to the official site and GitHub repository.
Support Istio 1.18.x Version
From version 1.4.0, Aeraki Mesh upgrades its Istio compatibility to the 1.18.x series.
Version 1.3.x enters maintenance mode and will only receive critical bug fixes.
Control Plane Stops Supporting Envoy Dubbo and Thrift Filters
Starting with 1.4.0, the Aeraki Mesh control plane no longer supports the Dubbo and Thrift filters that come with Envoy. The built‑in MetaProtocolProxy now provides Dubbo and Thrift protocol support with richer layer‑7 traffic capabilities, and users are encouraged to replace the native Envoy filters with MetaProtocolProxy.
