  Change Log: Added configuration options for the plugin image registry and namespace. Supports dynamically specifying built-in WASM plugin image addresses via environment variables HIGRESS_ADMIN_WASM_PLUGIN_IMAGE_REGISTRY/NAMESPACE, eliminating the need to modify plugins.properties. Corresponding Helm Chart values parameters and deployment template rendering logic have also been integrated.
  Feature Value: Enables users to flexibly configure WASM plugin image sources across diverse network environments (e.g., private cloud, air-gapped environments), improving deployment flexibility and security; reduces operational overhead and mitigates maintenance difficulties and upgrade risks associated with hard-coded configurations.

  Change Log: Added support for Zhipu AI’s Code Plan mode and Claude’s API version configuration. Achieved by extending ZhipuAILlmProviderHandler and ClaudeLlmProviderHandler to support custom domains, code-generation optimization toggles, and API version parameters—enhancing LLM invocation flexibility and scenario adaptability.
  Feature Value: Allows users to enable model-specific code generation modes (e.g., Zhipu Code Plan) based on AI vendor characteristics and precisely control Claude API versions, significantly improving code generation quality and compatibility, lowering integration barriers, and strengthening the practicality of the AI Gateway in multi-model collaborative development scenarios.

  Change Log: Introduced a lightweight mode configuration for the AI statistics plugin. Added the USE_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES constant and enabled use_default_response_attributes: true in AiRouteServiceImpl, reducing response attribute collection overhead and preventing memory buffer issues.
  Feature Value: Improves production environment stability and performance while lowering resource consumption of AI route statistics; eliminates the need for manual configuration of complex attributes—the system automatically adopts a default, streamlined attribute set—simplifying operations and enhancing reliability under high-concurrency workloads.

  Change Log: Removed the original text-input search from the Route Management page and introduced multi-select dropdown filters for five fields: Route Name, Domain, Route Conditions, Destination Service, and Request Authorization. Completed Chinese–English internationalization support and implemented multi-dimensional composite filtering (OR within each field, AND across fields), significantly improving data filtering precision.
  Feature Value: Enables users to quickly locate specific routes via intuitive dropdown selection, avoiding input errors; bilingual support accommodates international usage scenarios; multi-condition combined filtering substantially boosts query efficiency and operational experience for SREs managing large-scale route configurations.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  Contributor: @johnlanni
  Change Log: Fixed an issue where the OCI image path for the mcp-server plugin was not migrated synchronously—updated the original path mcp-server/all-in-one to plugins/mcp-server to align with the new plugin directory structure, ensuring correct plugin loading and deployment.
  Feature Value: Prevents plugin pull or startup failures caused by incorrect image paths, guaranteeing stable operation and seamless upgrades of the mcp-server plugin within the Higress Gateway, thereby enhancing deployment reliability in plugin-driven use cases.

  Change Log: Upgraded the swagger-ui version dependency of springdoc by introducing a newer version of the webjars-lo dependency in pom.xml and updating related version properties, resolving an issue where request body schemas appeared empty in Swagger UI.
  Feature Value: Ensures users can correctly view and interact with request body structures when using the API documentation functionality in the Higress Console, improving API debugging experience and development efficiency—and preventing interface misinterpretations caused by documentation display anomalies.
