Contour v1.28.2
We are delighted to present version v1.28.2 of Contour, our layer 7 HTTP reverse proxy for Kubernetes clusters.
All Changes
Update Envoy to v1.29.2
See the release notes here.
Note that this Envoy version reverts the HTTP/2 codec back to nghttp2 from oghttp2.
Disable Envoy removing TE header
As of version v1.29.0, Envoy removes the hop-by-hop TE header.
However, this causes issues with HTTP/2, particularly gRPC, with implementations expecting the header to be present (and set to trailers).
Contour disables this via Envoy runtime setting and reverts to the v1.28.x and prior behavior of allowing the header to be proxied.
Once this Envoy PR that enables the TE header including trailers to be forwarded is backported to a release or a new minor is cut, Contour will no longer set the aforementioned runtime key.
Installing and Upgrading
