DCOS-45719 - Edge-LB waits for load balanced applications to to be running in a healthy state before routing traffic to them. This change prevents Edge-LB from routing traffic to an application before it completes its startup operations and its first health check.
DCOS-47839 - Users can specify the Edge-LB pool frontend using either the name or port setting.
DCOS-44077 - The mesos-listener program that communicates with Edge-LB includes improvements to tests coverage and code refactoring.
DCOS-51865 - Edge-LB continuous integration has been enhanced through testing and code refactoring.
DCOS-48059 - Edge-LB can successfully return the task id and task status for both server and sidecar tasks.
DCOS-46502 - Validates regular expressions from user input.
DCOS-48132 - The Edge-LB dcos-template monitors and reloads its configuration file to prevent Edge-LB pool updates from generating errors when there are frequent pool changes.

Edge-LB currently does not support Strict security mode on DC/OS 1.10, but supports Strict security mode in DC/OS 1.11.
The steps provided in the DC/OS 1.10 web interface to uninstall Edge-LB are incorrect. In order to correctly uninstall Edge-LB for any given DC/OS version, please follow the steps in the Edge-LB uninstall documentation.
Edge-LB running on a CentOS/RHEL 7.2 node where /var/lib/mesos is formatted with ext4 may have connection issues.
If a pool is configured with invalid constraints it must be removed manually since a failure in proper creation leads to a failure in proper removal.
