Changes

Upgrade Notice

When upgrading your Istio data plane from 1.7.x (where x < 5) to 1.7.5 or newer, you may observe connectivity issues between your gateway and your sidecars or among your sidecars with 503 errors in the log. This happens when 1.7.5+ proxies send HTTP 1xx or 204 response codes with headers that 1.7.x proxies reject. To fix this, upgrade all your proxies (gateways and sidecars) to 1.7.5+ as soon as possible. (Issue 29427, More information)
