+The `ServiceMeshExtension` API, which was deprecated in {SMProductName} version 2.2, was removed in {SMProductName} version 2.3. If you are using the `ServiceMeshExtension` API, you must migrate to the `WasmPlugin` API to continue using your WebAssembly extensions.

 == Deprecated features {SMProductName} 2.2
 
 The `ServiceMeshExtension` API is deprecated as of release 2.2 and will be removed in a future release.  While `ServiceMeshExtension` API is still supported in release 2.2, customers should start moving to the new `WasmPlugin` API.

 Using {SMProductName} Operator 2.2 or 2.3, the SMMR controller no longer removes the namespaces from `SMMR.status.configuredMembers`. Instead, the controller adds the namespaces to `SMMR.status.pendingMembers` to indicate that they are not up-to-date. During reconciliation, as each namespace synchronizes with the SMCP, the namespace is automatically removed from `SMMR.status.pendingMembers`.

The federation controller now uses `EndpointSlices`, which improves scalability and performance in large deployments. The PILOT_USE_ENDPOINT_SLICE flag is enabled by default. Disabling the flag prevents use of federation deployments.

+This release of {SMProductName} introduces new features, addresses Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), contains bug fixes, and is supported on {product-title} 4.9, 4.10, and 4.11.

+|Envoy Proxy
+|1.22.4
+
+|Jaeger

+
+|Kiali
+|1.57.3
+|===
+
+=== New Container Network Interface (CNI) DaemonSet container and ConfigMap
+
+The `openshift-operators` namespace includes a new istio CNI DaemonSet `istio-cni-node-v2-3` and a new `ConfigMap` resource, `istio-cni-config-v2-3`.
+
+When upgrading to Service Mesh Control Plane 2.3, the existing `istio-cni-node` DaemonSet is not changed, and a new `istio-cni-node-v2-3` DaemonSet is created.
+
+This name change does not affect previous releases or any `istio-cni-node` CNI DaemonSet associated with a Service Mesh Control Plane deployed using a previous release.
+
+=== Gateway injection support
+
+This release introduces generally available support for Gateway injection. Gateway configurations are applied to standalone Envoy proxies that are running at the edge of the mesh, rather than the sidecar Envoy proxies running alongside your service workloads. This enables the ability to customize gateway options. When using gateway injection, you must create the following resources in the namespace where you want to run your gateway proxy: `Service`, `Deployment`, `Role`, and `RoleBinding`.
+
+=== Istio 1.14 Support
+
+{SMProductShortName} 2.3 is based on Istio 1.14, which brings in new features and product enhancements. While many Istio 1.14 features are supported, the following exceptions should be noted:
+
+* ProxyConfig API is supported with the exception of the image field.
+* Telemetry API is a Technology Preview feature.
+* SPIRE runtime is not a supported feature.
+
+=== OpenShift Service Mesh Console
+
+This release introduces a Developer Preview version of the {product-title} Service Mesh Console, which integrates the Kiali interface directly into the OpenShift web console. For additional information, see link:https://cloud.redhat.com/blog/introducing-the-openshift-service-mesh-console-a-developer-preview[Introducing the OpenShift Service Mesh Console (A Developer Preview)]
+
+=== Cluster-Wide deployment
+
+This release introduces cluster-wide deployment as a Technology Preview feature. A cluster-wide deployment contains a Service Mesh Control Plane that monitors resources for an entire cluster. The control plane uses a single query across all namespaces to monitor each Istio or Kubernetes resource kind that affects the mesh configuration. In contrast, the multitenant approach uses a query per namespace for each resource kind. Reducing the number of queries the control plane performs in a cluster-wide deployment improves performance.
+
+==== Configuring cluster-wide deployment
+
+The following example `ServiceMeshControlPlane` object configures a cluster-wide deployment.
+
+To create an SMCP for cluster-wide deployment, a user must belong to the `cluster-admin` ClusterRole. If the SMCP is configured for cluster-wide deployment, it must be the only SMCP in the cluster. You cannot change the control plane mode from multitenant to cluster-wide (or from cluster-wide to multitenant). If a multitenant control plane already exists, delete it and create a new one.
+
+This example configures the SMCP for cluster-wide deployment.
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+  apiVersion: maistra.io/v2
+  kind: ServiceMeshControlPlane
+  metadata:
+    name: cluster-wide
+    namespace: istio-system

+<1> Enables Istiod to monitor resources at the cluster level rather than monitor each individual namespace.
+
+Additionally, the SMMR must also be configured for cluster-wide deployment. This example configures the SMMR for cluster-wide deployment.
