This should be also included in 1.8 to avoid breaking changes #109

Here is the milestone https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/milestone/6

This should be also included in 1.8 to avoid breaking changes #109

are you referring to another repo? 109 here is from 2017

[pavolloffay]

A copy paste error. This is correct link #1094. It basically handles what is in milestone 6.

[pavolloffay]

The main missing parts are documentation of agent changes. @yurishkuro what documentation do you mean? The old flags are supported and deprecated. The only reference in our docs is --collector.host-port=jaeger-collector.jaeger-infra.svc:14267 which could be using a new flag.

Most importantly we should add ingester docs traced in #1030

[yurishkuro]

I meant to add notice of breaking changes in the changelog

[objectiser]

@yurishkuro Would it be possible to include jaegertracing/jaeger-ui#263 in this release?

[pavolloffay]

jaegertracing/jaeger-ui#263 will be added in 1.8.1 as discussed.
