This version is an important version which include some large changes, so release this pre-release beta version first.

The first main change is support config change hook plugin and control plugin, which it can be extend to pre-check config reformat, change audit, capacity limits, antifragility and notify changes according users need.

The second main change is do many refactor for datasource plugin and module loader. One is make plugin can support more datasource easier and the other will make some user can only open one of feature to save more memory.

The third main change is to support ability negotiations between server and clients, which is an important feature to make nacos smoother compatibility with subsequent features.

The other important changes include: validate most of request parameters, support ssl for grpc connection, many usage enhancement for console ui and bug fix.

1. Frequently create new ConfigService and shutdown old one in Application [#10555].

3. Frequently publish new config by ConfigService in Application [#10471].

If no these extremely rare situation, the old version still no risk.

And for other situation, If use the addressServer to find out the nacos server addresses. One Enhancement to loadbalance the grpc connection in this release: #10598 to random the first choice server address of nacos.

2.2.3 (May 25th, 2023)

该版本主要针对部分Jraft请求处理时，使用hessian进行反序列化未限制而造成的RCE漏洞进行修复。

该漏洞仅影响7848端口（默认设置下），一般使用时该端口为Nacos集群间Raft协议的通信端口，不承载客户端请求，因此老版本可以通过禁止该端口来自Nacos集群外的请求达到止血目的（如部署时已进行限制或未暴露，则风险可控）。

变更详情：

• #10318 Fix import problem when disable auth.
• #10542 Add classes whitelist for HessianSerializer.

---

The version mainly fixes an RCE vulnerability caused by unbounded use of hessian during some Jraft request processing.

The vulnerability only affects port 7848 (by default), which is typically used as the communication port for Nacos cluster inter-raft protocol and does not handle client requests. Therefore, the risk can be controlled by disabling requests from outside of Nacos clusters (e.g. by limiting or not exposing the port) in older versions.

Detail:

• #10318 Fix import problem when disable auth.
• #10542 Add classes whitelist for HessianSerializer.

变更详情：

• [#10217] Fix can't read application.properties problem.
• [#10525] Fix nacos client ram role usage problem.
• #10532 Upgrade spring boot version.
• #10542 Add classes whitelist for HessianSerializer.

2.2.2 (Apr 11, 2023)

Nacos recently released versions 2.2.0.1 and 2.2.1, which have made major changes to the default authentication plugin to remove the some default values of authentication plugin. For details, see Risk Description and 2.2.1 release.

But Nacos default console ui relies on token.secret.key by default, after removing the default value of token.secret.key, many new users who use the latest version image by default have a large number of startup failures. The situation has a great impact on the usability of users.

Therefore, version 2.2.2 is mainly optimized for this problem.

2.2.0.1 (March 2nd, 2023)

该版本移除了默认鉴权插件中依赖的nacos.core.auth.plugin.nacos.token.secret.key默认值，在部署新版本时必须要输入自定义的有效token.secret.key 用于登陆后的accessToken生成。

本变更避免开源用户直接使用默认配置时出现的安全风险，提升了开源组件使用的安全性。

旧版本不是必须升级到这个版本， 只需要根据文档修改对应token.secret.key即可修复问题。

变更详情：

• [#9992] Remove the default token.secret.key.

---

This version removes nacos.core.auth.plugin.nacos.token.secret.key which is dependent on the default authentication plugin. When deploying with new version, users must set the custom valid token.secret.key to generate accessToken for login.

This change is to avoid security risks when users directly use the default configuration, and improve the security during using this component.

The old version does not have to be upgraded to this version, just modify the token.secret.key according to documentation to repair problem.

Detail:

• [#9992] Remove the default token.secret.key.
