Summary of Changes

Minor Changes:

• hubble: Stop building 32-bit binaries (Backport MR #​36066, Upstream MR #​35974, @​michi-covalent)

Bugfixes:

• Address potential connectivity disruption when using either L7 / DNS Network policies in combination with per-endpoint routes and hostLegacyRouting, or L7 / DNS network policies in combination with IPsec network encryption. (Backport MR #​36540, Upstream MR #​36484, @​julianwiedmann)
• bgp: fix race in bgp stores (Backport MR #​36066, Upstream MR #​35971, @​harsimran-pabla)
• BGPv1: Fix race by reconciliation of services with externalTrafficPolicy=Local by populating locally available services after performing service diff (Backport MR #​36286, Upstream MR #​36230, @​rastislavs)
• BGPv2: Fix race by reconciliation of services with externalTrafficPolicy=Local by populating locally available services after performing service diff (Backport MR #​36286, Upstream MR #​36165, @​rastislavs)
• Cilium agent now waits until endpoints have restored before starting accepting new xDS streams. (Backport MR #​36049, Upstream MR #​35984, @​jrajahalme)
• Cilium no longer keeps old DNS-IP mappings alive while reaping newer ones, leading to spurious drops in connections to domains with many IPs associated. (Backport MR #​36462, Upstream MR #​36252, @​bimmlerd)
• cilium-health-ep controller is made to be more robust against successive failures. (Backport MR #​36066, Upstream MR #​35936, @​jrajahalme)
• DNS proxy port is no longer released when endpoint with a DNS policy fails to regenerate successfully. A potential deadlock between CEC/CCEC parser and endpoint policy update is removed. (Backport MR #​36468, Upstream MR #​36142, @​jrajahalme)
• Envoy "initial fetch timeout" warnings are now demoted to info level, as they are expected to happen during Cilium Agent restart. (Backport MR #​36049, Upstream MR #​36060, @​jrajahalme)
• Fix an issue where pod-to-world traffic goes up stack when BPF host routing is enabled with tunnel. (Backport MR #​35861, Upstream MR #​35098, @​jschwinger233)
• Fix identity leak for kvstore identity mode (Backport MR #​36066, Upstream MR #​34893, @​odinuge)

• gateway-api: Fix gateway checks for namespace (Backport MR #​36462, Upstream MR #​35452, @​sayboras)
• gha: Remove hostLegacyRouting in clustermesh (Backport MR #​36357, Upstream MR #​35418, @​sayboras)
• helm: Use an absolute FQDN for the Hubble peer-service endpoint to avoid incorrect DNS resolution outside the cluster (Backport MR #​36066, Upstream MR #​36005, @​devodev)
• hubble: consistently use v as prefix for the Hubble version (Backport MR #​36286, Upstream MR #​35891, @​rolinh)

• policy: Fix bug that allowed port ranges to be attached to L7 policies, which is not permitted. (#​36050, @​nathanjsweet)
• Unbreak the cilium-dbg preflight migrate-identity command (Backport MR #​36286, Upstream MR #​36089, @​giorio94)
• Use strconv.Itoa instead of string() for the correct behavior when converting kafka.ErrorCode from int32 to string. Add relevant unit tests for Kafka plugin and handler. (Backport MR #​36066, Upstream MR #​35856, @​nddq)
