Download and try now Kong CE 0.13.0.
CE 0.13.0
The highlights of 0.13.0 are:
-
The introduction of Services and Routes as new core entities. Those entities replace the “API” entity and simplify the setup of non-naive use-cases. They provide better separation of concerns and allow for plugins to be applied to specific endpoints. -
A new syntax for the proxy_listen and admin_listen directives allows you to disable the Proxy or the Admin API at once, meaning the separation of Kong control-planes and data-planes has never been that easy!
-
The new endpoints such as /routes and /services are built with much improved support for form-urlencoding payloads, and produce friendlier responses. Expect existing endpoints to move towards this new implementation in the future and greatly improve the Admin API usability.
- Fix several issues with our DNS resolver, health checks configuration, and application/multipart MIME type parsing.
- Docker: the latest and 0.13.0 Docker Hub tags now point to the alpine image.
See the 0.13.0 Changelog for a complete list of changes in this release.
