IMPROVEMENTS:

• mesh: parse the proxy-defaults protocol when write the config-entry to avoid parsing it when compiling the discovery chain. [GH-19829]
• wan-federation: use a hash to diff config entries when replicating in the secondary DC to avoid unnecessary writes.. [GH-19795]

• acl: add api-gateway templated policy [GH-19728]
• acl: add templated policy descriptions [GH-19735]
• api: Add support for listing ACL tokens by service name when using templated policies. [GH-19666]
• cli: stop simultaneous usage of -templated-policy and -templated-policy-file when creating a role or token. [GH-19389]
• cloud: push additional server TLS metadata to HCP [GH-19682]
• connect: Default stats_flush_interval to 60 seconds when using the Consul Telemetry Collector, unless custom stats sink are present or an explicit flush interval is configured. [GH-19663]
• metrics: increment consul.client.rpc.failed if RPC fails because no servers are accessible [GH-19721]
• metrics: modify consul.client.rpc metric to exclude internal retries for consistency with consul.client.rpc.exceeded and consul.client.rpc.failed [GH-19721]

BUG FIXES:

• CLI: fix a panic when deleting a non existing policy by name. [GH-19679]
• Mesh Gateways: Fix a bug where replicated and peered mesh gateways with hostname-based WAN addresses fail to initialize. [GH-19268]
• ca: Fix bug with Vault CA provider where renewing a retracted token would cause retries in a tight loop, degrading performance. [GH-19285]
• ca: Fix bug with Vault CA provider where token renewal goroutines could leak if CA failed to initialize. [GH-19285]
• connect: Solves an issue where two upstream services with the same name in different namespaces were not getting routed to correctly by API Gateways. [GH-19860]
• federation: (Enterprise Only) Fixed an issue where namespace reconciliation could result into the secondary having dangling instances of namespaces marked for deletion
• ui: clear peer on home logo link [GH-19549]
• ui: fix being able to view peered services from non-default namnespaces [GH-19586]
• ui: stop manually reconciling services if peering is enabled [GH-19907]
• wan-federation: Fix a bug where servers wan-federated through mesh-gateways could crash due to overlapping LAN IP addresses. [GH-19503]
• xds: Add configurable xds_fetch_timeout_ms option to proxy registrations that allows users to prevent endpoints from dropping when they have proxies with a large number of upstreams. [GH-19871]
• xds: ensure child resources are re-sent to Envoy when the parent is updated even if the child already has pending updates. [GH-19866]
