note: >-
  Solo.io publishes TWO changelog surfaces for this product and both are dated and versioned:
  a per-release "Release notes" page with structured Breaking changes / New features /
  Feature changes / Bug fixes / Removed features / Known issues sections, and a comparison
  changelog that diffs any two patch or minor versions. A third tracks the Solo distributions
  of Istio down to individual patch releases (1.27.x through 1.32.x are enumerated). The
  release notes page previously pointed at by this repository
  (/gloo-mesh-enterprise/latest/changelog/) now 404s; the live path is under /reference/.

    removals:
      - >-
        Istio 1.27 support removed in the following release; see the version support matrix.
    known_issues:
      - Cluster names must not contain underscores.
      - >-
        With Istio 1.27.7 / 1.28.4 / 1.29.0+, installing the management plane outside the
        gloo-mesh namespace requires that namespace to be listed in
        DEBUG_ENDPOINT_AUTH_ALLOWED_NAMESPACES on istiod.
      - Solo distribution of Istio 1.26.0 and 1.26.1 lack FIPS-tagged images; use 1.26.1-patch0+.
      - >-
        Istio patch 1.25.1 and 1.24.4 carry an upstream certificate-rotation bug; use 1.25.2 /
        1.24.5 or later when Gloo Mesh manages root certificate rotation.
      - Istio, and therefore Gloo Mesh, cannot run on AWS Fargate (no Istio CNI / iptables).
      - FIPS-compliant builds are not available for the OTel collector agent image.
      - >-
        Bulk route name/matcher updates in a RouteTable can delay VirtualService and
        EnvoyFilter translation, temporarily leaving policies unapplied.
