We’re thrilled to launch Pomerium [v0.29.0](https://www.pomerium.com/blog/announcing-pomerium-v0290?utm_source=announce&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=v0290), packed with features to improve secure access, user experience, and operational insights for your infrastructure.

This release introduces:

- **Routes Portal:** An intuitive “app dashboard” for end-users to easily discover and access their authorized services.
  - **Identity-Aware UDP Tunneling:** Extend Pomerium’s Zero Trust enforcement to critical UDP-based protocols like DNS, syslog, and internal tools.
  - **OpenTelemetry Tracing:** Standardize observability with OTEL for end-to-end visibility across Pomerium services (Note: This is a breaking change from previous tracing methods).
  - **HTTP/3 Support:** Leverage the performance benefits of QUIC for faster and more resilient connections.
  - **Direct IdP Token Authentication:** Streamline programmatic access using Azure AD tokens directly.
  - **Terraform Provider (Enterprise):** Fully manage Pomerium configuration as code.

These updates, along with JWT group filtering, hot reloading, and performance optimizations, make managing secure access easier and more comprehensive.

**Important:** Review the breaking changes, especially regarding tracing configuration, before upgrading.
