Should You Upgrade?

Yes, but with one caveat.

If you are running v.1.2.9 or earlier, the memory leak fix alone is worth the upgrade. However, if you have heavily customized the admin_api.py or rely on a deprecated plugin from v.1.1.x, test this in staging first. The new connection draining logic changes how the shutdown signal is handled.
