High-performance API gateway and microservice proxy

ShenYu is cutting 2.7.2 release candidates, but the tags still carry no notes.

◆Current state
Apache ShenYu has published four 2.7.2 release-candidate tags since 28 October, the latest two on 3 and 4 November, each with a one-line description and no change list. The substantive record still comes from earlier releases: 2.7.1 in July with MCP server URL and test fixes, and the 2.7.0.x patches that added and repaired AI proxy, token limiter, request transformer and MCP server plugins.
◆Where it's heading
Four candidates in a week point to a 2.7.2 release vote in progress. Given the plugin history, the final release is likely to carry more AI-gateway and MCP plugin fixes, but none of the candidate tags say so.
◆Prediction
A final 2.7.2 tag is the next likely entry; its contents can't be predicted from these candidate tags alone.

    2.7.2 release-candidate tag (no notes)

    A 2.7.2 release-candidate tag whose only text is a Maven release-plugin message. It shows a release in preparation, nothing about its content.

    Earlier 2.7.2 candidate tag (no notes)

    An earlier 2.7.2 candidate tag cut the same day, again with only the Maven message. Superseded by the next tag within the hour.

    MCP server plugin fixes and Nacos sync cache corrections

    A patch release dominated by fixes to the MCP server plugin — request configuration length limits, tool timeouts and error handling — plus several Nacos data synchronization bugs including a selector cache that was not being cleared on removal. The MCP fixes indicate the plugin is being exercised in real deployments rather than sitting unused.

    AI request transformer plugin joins the proxy and token limiter

    Adds an AI request transformer plugin and fixes the existing AI proxy and token limiter plugins, alongside a data buffer leak fix. This is the release where the AI plugin family stopped being a single proxy and became a set of composable pieces.
