Highlights

• 7 services now support OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing. Thank you, @arbrown, for implementing this in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo/pull/1167 and https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo/pull/1180!
• You can now use DeployStack to automatically deploy Online Boutique to a new Google Kubernetes Engine cluster (via Google Cloud Shell), on a Google Cloud project you specify. To try it out, click on the "Open in Google Cloud Shell" button inside the root README.md. Thank you, @tpryan, for implementing this in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo/pull/1142!
• Online Boutique now uses Skaffold 2.0. This only impacts users that run Online Boutique in development mode. See note about upgrading to Skaffold 2.0 on your local machine here. Thank you, @mmcloud, for addressing this!
• As usual, this release comes with many dependency updates — some addressing severe CVEs.
