You can read the full release notes in the pages linked above, but some of the more important bug fixes are as follows:

  • The Tribe node was not passing all relevant settings to the client nodes which join the configured clusters. In particular, Shield settings are now passed to the client nodes correctly.
  • Marvel was unable to export data to a remote monitoring cluster when Shield was enabled.
  • The _aliases end point was ignoring any configured filters.
  • The GCE plugin was failing because of insufficient privileges.
