• etcdctl will sleep(2s) in case of range delete without --range flag. See pull/13747
• Applications which depend on etcd v3.6 packages must be built with go version >= v1.18.

Deprecations

• Deprecated SetKeepAlive and SetKeepAlivePeriod in limitListenerConn.
• Removed etcdctl defrag --data-dir.
• Removed etcdctl snapshot status.
• Removed etcdctl snapshot restore.

• Add --consistency flag to member list command.
• Display field hash_revision for etcdctl endpoint hash command.

etcdutl v3

• Add command to generate shell completion.

• Add Protection on maintenance request when auth is enabled.
• Graduated --experimental-warning-unary-request-duration to --warning-unary-request-duration. Note the experimental flag is deprecated and will be decommissioned in v3.7.
• Add field hash_revision into HashKVResponse.
• Add etcd --experimental-snapshot-catch-up-entries flag to configure number of entries for a slow follower to catch up after compacting the raft storage entries and defaults to 5k.
