-* https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OSSM-3647[OSSM-3647] Previously, in the {SMProductShortName} control plane (SMCP) v2.2 (Istio 1.12), WasmPlugins were applied only to inbound listeners. Since SMCP v2.3 (Istio 1.14), WasmPlugins have been applied to inbound and outbound listeners by default, which introduced regression for users of the 3scale WasmPlugin. Now, the environment variable `APPLY_WASM_PLUGINS_TO_INBOUND_ONLY` is added, which allows safe migration from SMCP v2.2 to v2.3 and v2.4.

 === Integration with {DTProductName} (Tempo) Stack
 
 This release introduces a generally available integration of the tracing extension provider(s). You can expose tracing data to the {DTProductName} (Tempo) stack by appending a named element and the `zipkin` provider to the `spec.meshConfig.extensionProviders` specification. Then, a telemetry custom resource configures Istio proxies to collect trace spans and send them to the Tempo distributor service endpoint.
