  **Updated** default value of the feature flag `ENABLE_AUTO_ENHANCED_RESOURCE_SCOPING` to true.
upgradeNotes:
- title: Default value of the feature flag `ENHANCED_RESOURCE_SCOPING` to true
  content: |
    `ENHANCED_RESOURCE_SCOPING` is enabled by default. This means that the pilot will processes only the Istio CustomResource configurations that are in 
    scope of what is specified from meshConfig.discoverySelectors. Root-ca certificate distribution is also affected.

    If this is not desired, use the new `compatibilityVersion` feature to fallback to old behavior.
