November 17, 2021

CHANGES:

• expiration: VAULT_16_REVOKE_PERMITPOOL environment variable has been removed. [GH-12888]
• expiration: VAULT_LEASE_USE_LEGACY_REVOCATION_STRATEGY environment variable has
  been removed. [GH-12888]
• go: Update go version to 1.17.2
• secrets/ssh: Roles with empty allowed_extensions will now forbid end-users
  specifying extensions when requesting ssh key signing. Update roles setting
  allowed_extensions to * to permit any extension to be specified by an end-user. [GH-12847]

FEATURES:

• Customizable HTTP Headers: Add support to define custom HTTP headers for root path (/) and also on API endpoints (/v1/*) [GH-12485]
• Deduplicate Token With Entities in Activity Log: Vault tokens without entities are now tracked with client IDs and deduplicated in the Activity Log [GH-12820]
• Elasticsearch Database UI: The UI now supports adding and editing Elasticsearch connections in the database secret engine. [GH-12672]
• KV Custom Metadata: Add ability in kv-v2 to specify version-agnostic custom key metadata via the
  metadata endpoint. The data will be present in responses made to the data endpoint independent of the
  calling token's read access to the metadata endpoint. [GH-12907]

• Local Auth Mount Entities (enterprise): Logins on local auth mounts will
  generate identity entities for the tokens issued. The aliases of the entity
  resulting from local auth mounts (local-aliases), will be scoped by the cluster.
  This means that the local-aliases will never leave the geographical boundary of
  the cluster where they were issued. This is something to be mindful about for
  those who have implemented local auth mounts for complying with GDPR guidelines.
• Namespaces (Enterprise): Adds support for locking Vault API for particular namespaces.
• OIDC Identity Provider (Tech Preview): Adds support for Vault to be an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider. [GH-12932]
