summary
Emissary 3.10 ships as the last 3.x release and Emissary 4 aims to replace CRD group ambassador.io with new API group emissary.dev, remove conversion webhooks, and provide a mechanical migration so 3 and 4 can run side‑by‑side. Builds already run on ARM64 and there is a plan for an Emissary 4 migration tool that rewrites manifests. 3.10 supports EndpointSlice and falls back to Endpoints, and gateway API integration is explored as a future thin translation layer.
