 * jwt_authn filter: added support of Jwt time constraint verification with a clock skew (default to 60 seconds) and added a filter config field :ref:`clock_skew_seconds <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.http.jwt_authn.v3.JwtProvider.clock_skew_seconds>` to configure it.
 * memory: enable new tcmalloc with restartable sequences for aarch64 builds.
 * oauth filter: added the optional parameter :ref:`auth_scopes <config_http_filters_oauth>` with default value of 'user' if not provided. Enables for this value to be overridden in the Authorization request to the OAuth provider.
+* mongo proxy metrics: swapped network connection remote and local closed counters previously set reversed (`cx_destroy_local_with_active_rq` and `cx_destroy_remote_with_active_rq`).
 * tls: removed RSA key transport and SHA-1 cipher suites from the client-side defaults.
 * watchdog: the watchdog action :ref:`abort_action <envoy_v3_api_msg_watchdog.v3alpha.AbortActionConfig>` is now the default action to terminate the process if watchdog kill / multikill is enabled.
 * xds: to support TTLs, heartbeating has been added to xDS. As a result, responses that contain empty resources without updating the version will no longer be propagated to the
