Changelog

Added

Added a new enable_distributed_tracing option to the NewRelic config to enable support for Distributed Tracer

Fixed

Fixed panic when JWK method was used for JWT authentication and the token didn’t include kid
Fixed an issue where failure to load GoPlugin middleware didn’t prevent the API from proxying traffic to the upstream: now Gateway logs an error when the plugin fails to load (during API creation/update) and responds with HTTP 500 if the API is called; at the moment this is fixed only for file based plugins
Fixed MutualTLS issue causing leak of allowed CAs during TLS handshake when there are multiple mTLS APIs
Fixed a bug during hot reload of Tyk Gateway where APIs with JSVM plugins stored in filesystem were not reloaded
Fixed a bug where the gateway would remove the trailing /at the end of a URL
Fixed a bug where nested field-mappings in UDG weren’t working as intended
Fixed a bug when using Tyk OAuth 2.0 flow on Tyk Cloud where a request for an Authorization Code would fail with a 404 error
Fixed a bug where mTLS negotiation could fail when there are a large number of certificates and CAs; added an option (http_server_options.skip_client_ca_announcement) to use the alternative method for certificate transfer
Fixed CVE issue with go.uuid package
Fixed a bug where rate limits were not correctly applied when policies are partitioned to separate access rights and rate limits into different scopes

5.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date 28 Mar 2023

Deprecations

Tyk Gateway no longer natively supports LetsEncrypt integration. You still can use LetsEncrypt CLI tooling to generate certificates and use them with Tyk.

Release Highlights

Improved OpenAPI support

We have added some great features to the Tyk OAS API definition bringing it closer to parity with our Tyk Classic API and to make it easier to get on board with Tyk using your Open API workflows.

Tyk’s OSS users can now make use of extensive custom middleware options with your OAS APIs, to transform API requests and responses, exposing your upstream services in the way that suits your users and internal API governance rules. We’ve enhanced the Request Validation for Tyk OAS APIs to include parameter validation (path, query, headers, cookie) as well as the body validation that was introduced in Tyk 4.1.

Versioning your Tyk OAS APIs is easier than ever, with the Tyk OSS Gateway now looking after the maintenance of the list of versions associated with the base API for you; we’ve also added a new endpoint on the Tyk API that will return details of the versions for a given API.

We’ve improved support for OAS Mock Responses, with the Tyk OAS API definition now allowing you to register multiple Mock Responses in a single API, providing you with increased testing flexibility.

Of course, we’ve also addressed some bugs and usability issues as part of our ongoing ambition to make Tyk OAS API the best way for you to create and manage your APIs.

Thanks to our community contributors armujahid, JordyBottelier and ls-michal-dabrowski for your PRs that further improve the quality of Tyk OSS Gateway!
