• 430: Add the controller.serviceAccount.imagePullSecrets parameter to the helm chart. Note: the controller.serviceAccountName parameter has been changed to controller.serviceAccount.name.
• 399: Improve secret handling. Note: the PR changed how the Ingress Controller processes Ingress resources with TLS termination enabled but without any referenced (or with invalid) secrets and Ingress resources with JWT validation enabled but without any referenced (or with invalid) JWK. Please read here for more details.
• 357: Improve Project Layout and Refactor Controller Package. Note: the PR significantly changed the layout of the project to follow best practices.
• 347: Use edge version in manifests and Helm chart. Note: the manifests and the helm chart in the master branch now reference the edge version of the Ingress Controller instead of the latest stable version used previously.
• 391: Update default lb-method to be random two least_conn. Note: the default load balancing method is now the power of two choices as it better suits the Ingress Controller use case. Please read the blog post about the method for more details.
• 344: Expose NGINX Plus API/NGINX stub_status on a custom port via the -nginx-status-port command-line argument. Note: For NGINX the stub_status is now exposed on port 8080 at the /stub_status URL by default. Previously, the stub_status was not exposed on any port. The stub_status can be disabled via the -nginx-status flag.
