Week of November 2, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week brings a security release, v2.34.1. The graph gained clearer node icons and tooltips, modals and sliders moved to PatternFly components, and several dependency and configuration issues were cleaned up.

Kiali v2.34.1 is a security release. This week: graph node feature icons and tooltips, all remaining modals on the PatternFly 6 composition API, a shared PatternFly slider replacing bootstrap sliders, and the graph context menu no longer sticking over wizards.

Post for LinkedIn

Kiali v2.34.1 is a security release. Alongside it, the graph now shows the specific VirtualService feature icon for active features with a structured tooltip, and all 16 remaining frontend modals were migrated to the PatternFly 6 composition API. Bootstrap sliders were replaced by a shared Slider wrapping PatternFly, the graph context menu no longer stays open over wizard modals, and the graph node cursor stops flickering on hover. Dependency and localization updates were also merged.

Week of October 26, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week tightened authorization across the server: three API endpoints no longer return data about namespaces the caller cannot access, and the openshift strategy rejects tokens with no namespace access. Namespace accessibility checks are now consistent and mode-aware, and a dependency bump addresses denial-of-service issues. Users also get corrected Istio Config counts and clearer Envoy memory reporting.

Kiali v2.34.0 is out. Health, ztunnel logs and ztunnel config dump APIs now enforce namespace RBAC and fail closed, and the openshift auth strategy rejects tokens with no namespace access. Namespace accessibility checks are consistent and mode-aware, and go-jose is bumped to v4.1

Post for LinkedIn

Kiali v2.34.0 is released. This week the server tightened namespace authorization: the health, ztunnel logs and ztunnel config dump API endpoints now validate every requested namespace against the caller's RBAC and fail closed, and the openshift auth strategy no longer accepts tokens with zero namespace access. Namespace accessibility checks are now consistent and mode-aware, closing tracing-endpoint and cluster-wide-validations gaps. Also included: a go-jose/v4 bump to v4.1.6 for denial-of-service fixes, a corrected namespace Istio Config count, and clearer Envoy memory reporting when metrics are missing.

Week of October 19, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week brings validation and traffic graph behavior in line with mesh serviceEntryVisibility policies, and adds troubleshooting directly from the health history ribbon. It also moves the test suite further from Cypress to Playwright, covering offline, perf and remaining scenarios.

Health history ribbon now opens a troubleshooting popover with traffic graph replay. Validation and the traffic graph honor serviceEntryVisibility. Plus Playwright coverage for offline, perf and remaining Cypress scenarios.

Post for LinkedIn

This week in Kiali: clicking a detail page's health history ribbon now opens a troubleshooting popover with resource-scoped traffic graph replay and adjustable time ranges. Validation checks and the traffic graph now honor mesh serviceEntryVisibility policies, and VirtualService validation respects exportTo and gateway-scoped perspectives. The UI upgraded to PatternFly 6.7, and the Cypress offline and perf suites plus remaining scenarios were ported to Playwright. Simplified Chinese and Korean translations were also expanded.

Week of October 12, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week adds a health history ribbon on detail pages and an AI Dashboard with usage and cost tracking, both visible to people using the console. Ambient waypoint health reporting is corrected, and much of the Cypress suite is now ported to Playwright with matching CI jobs, which affects how changes are tested.

Post for X

This week: health history ribbon on detail page Overview tabs, an AI Dashboard at /console/ai with usage and cost, a fix for ambient waypoint request health, and more Cypress suites ported to Playwright with CI.

Post for LinkedIn

This week in Kiali: detail page Overview tabs gained a health history ribbon showing health status over time, backed by new history routes for workload, app, service and namespace. An AI Dashboard at /console/ai reports token usage and estimated cost, with a backend consumption layer, optional per-user budgets and model pricing. Ambient workloads behind a waypoint now report request-based health and Overview app RPS correctly. On the testing side, the waypoint-multicluster, multi-primary, waypoint-tracing and ambient multi-primary Cypress scenarios were ported to Playwright with CI jobs. The internal API doc was regenerated and swagger annotations fixed, and graph duration was updated for offline mode.

Week of October 5, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week adds Envoy sidecar memory diagnostics to the workload details page, so operators can see allocated memory, active clusters and a heuristic cause for proxy behavior. Tracing got more trustworthy: span durations no longer come out absurd, and an unreadable Tempo search body is reported rather than shown as an empty result. Testing also moved further from Cypress to Playwright across multi-cluster, multi-mesh and ambient suites, and the 2.33 line saw its.0 release plus OSSM patch releases.

Post for LinkedIn

This week Kiali surfaces Envoy sidecar memory diagnostics on the workload details page, including allocated memory, active clusters, traffic signals and a heuristic cause, so you can see why a proxy is behaving the way it does. Tracing got more reliable: span duration arithmetic no longer produces absurd values from bad start or end times, and a Tempo search body Kiali cannot read is now reported instead of looking like a mesh with no traffic. Graph and detail-page Cypress runs are pinned to a five minute duration, and multi-cluster, multi-mesh, ambient and waypoint scenarios continue moving to Playwright with their own CI jobs. The 2.33 line also saw its.0 release alongside OSSM patch releases.

Week of September 28, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week focused on expanding Playwright test coverage to match Cypress feature parity while improving internationalization support. The test migration work ensures better test reliability and enables automation of previously manual scenarios, while translation improvements enable the project to serve users in multiple languages.
