Compatible Data Plane Versions: 3.2.x.x - 3.6.x
New Features
Decoupled Data Plane and Control Plane Versions
Starting with version 3.6.0, data plane and control plane versions are decoupled, allowing for independent upgrades. The control plane will typically be compatible with multiple data plane versions, while data plane versions will evolve at a slower pace to maintain stability.
Configured mTLS for Upstreams
To prevent unauthorized access and harden security, consider Configure mTLS between API7 Enterprise and Upstream.

Improvements
- Supported referencing environment variables for SSO connection information.
- Introduced a form-based UI for plugin configuration.
- Added Basic Authentication as an authentication option for Developer Portal credentials. If the API product allows multiple authentication types, any valid credential can be used.
- Removed service runtime configurations in service templates, for better template reuse across gateway groups. This is a breaking change. Existing service runtime configurations within service templates will be removed, but your published service configurations will remain unchanged. Furthermore, the publishing process is simplified and streamlined, with no service runtime configurations allowed during the process. See the renewed guide to publish service.
