How to use Kong 3.1.1.4?

Hello,

I would like to get some guidance on how to use Kong gateway version 3.1.1.4. I haven’t been able to upgrade to 3.x yet until this bug fix(resty.dns.client): fix the UDP sockets leak by liverpool8056 · Pull Request #10691 · Kong/kong · GitHub got released. So now that that has been included in 3.1.1.4, I am looking to upgrade.

Historically I have deployed the OSS version and “Docker official image” here https://hub.docker.com/_/kong. This image does not publish the four digit tags, and the 3.1.1 tag was last updated prior to the release of 3.1.1.4, so I don’t think it includes the bug fix I need.

I did see the kong/kong-gateway image here https://hub.docker.com/r/kong/kong-gateway has a 3.1.1.4 tag, but after reading some docs I believe that is a Kong enterprise image. The Kong helm chart (charts/charts/kong/values.yaml at main · Kong/charts · GitHub) also seems to indicate the kong-gateway image is for enterprise use.

I know you can use enterprise in free mode, but is that a requirement if I want to upgrade to 3.1.1.4? or any four digit version number for that matter?

Thanks in advance for any assistance
