Release Announcements
Envoy Gateway Release Announcements
This document provides details for Envoy Gateway releases. Envoy Gateway follows the Semantic Versioning v2.0.0 spec
for release versioning.
Stable Releases
Stable releases of Envoy Gateway include:
- Minor Releases- A new release branch and corresponding tag are created from the
main branch. A minor release
is supported for 6 months following the release date. As the project matures, Envoy Gateway maintainers will reassess
the support timeframe.
Minor releases happen quarterly and follow the schedule below.
Release Management
Minor releases are handled by a designated Envoy Gateway maintainer. This maintainer is considered the Release Manager
for the release. The details for creating a release are outlined in the release guide. The Release Manager is
responsible for coordinating the overall release. This includes identifying issues to be fixed in the release,
communications with the Envoy Gateway community, and the mechanics of the release.
Release Schedule
In order to align with the Envoy Proxy release schedule, Envoy Gateway releases are produced on a fixed schedule
(the 22nd day of each quarter), with an acceptable delay of up to 2 weeks, and a hard deadline of 3 weeks.

2 - Announcing Envoy Gateway v1.2
Envoy Gateway v1.2 release announcement.
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Envoy Gateway v1.2.0.
This release represents a significant achievement, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire Envoy Gateway community for their contributions, dedication, and support. Your collaborative efforts have been instrumental in reaching this pivotal release.
Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. We are excited to see how Envoy Gateway v1.2.0 will empower your operations and look forward to continuing our work together to drive the future of Cloud Native API Gateway.
What’s New
The release adds a ton of features and functionality. Here are some highlights:
🚨 Breaking Changes
- Gateway API Updates: Removed support for the v1alpha2 versions for
GRPCRoute and ReferenceGrant. See the Gateway API v1.2.0 documentation for details. - CPU Limits: Removed default CPU limit for Envoy Gateway deployment to avoid throttling.
- Envoy Shutdown Settings: Drain strategy set to immediate, with default values as follows:
minDrainDuration: 10sdrainTimeout: 60sterminationGracePeriodSeconds: 360s
- Endpoint Health On Host Removal: Enabled
ignore_health_on_host_removal for clusters with static endpoints to allow faster removal of endpoints that have been deleted by the control plane, without waiting for the results of an active health check. - Logging Level Adjustment: Set xDS and Infra IR logs to Debug level instead of Info, so they will no longer appear in Envoy Gateway logs by default. You can change the logging level to
debug to view them.
