Ticket to track progress on 7.4.1 client release.

7.4

Enhancements

Authorization

• Add manage_own_api_key cluster privilege #45897 (issue: #40031) - PR: Security API changes to add owner flag #4178
  • (see above) Consider owner flag when retrieving/invalidating keys with API key service #45421 (issue: #40031) No client changes needed in lieu of above.
• REST API changes for manage-own-api-key privilege #44936 (issue: #40031) - PR: Security API changes to add owner flag #4178
• Simplify API key service API #44935 (issue: #40031) No client changes needed.

Geo

• Support WKT point conversion to geo_point type #44107 (issue: #41821) - implemented in Add support for WKT with GeoLocation type #4222

Bug fixes

Geo

• Geo: add validator that only checks altitude #43893 - .NET client might need to remove range checks?

HTTP changes

• Starting in version 7.4, a + in a URL will be encoded as %2B by all REST API functionality. Prior versions handled a + as a single space. If your application requires handling + as a single space you can return to the old behaviour by setting the system property es.rest.url_plus_as_space to true. Note that this behaviour is deprecated and setting this system property to true will cease to be supported in version 8. The client already encodes + as %2B using Uri.EscapeDataString(str)
