This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator,go.mod: optionally create ServiceMonitor
Adds a new spec.metrics.serviceMonitor field to ProxyClass.
If that's set to true (and metrics are enabled), the operator
will create a Prometheus ServiceMonitor for each proxy to which
the ProxyClass applies.
Additionally, create a metrics Service for each proxy that has
metrics enabled.

containerboot:
Adds 3 new environment variables for containerboot, `TS_LOCAL_ADDR_PORT` (default
`"${POD_IP}:9002"`), `TS_METRICS_ENABLED` (default `false`), and `TS_DEBUG_ADDR_PORT`
(default `""`), to configure metrics and debug endpoints. In a follow-up PR, the
health check endpoint will be updated to use the `TS_LOCAL_ADDR_PORT` if
`TS_HEALTHCHECK_ADDR_PORT` hasn't been set.
Users previously only had access to internal debug metrics (which are unstable
and not recommended) via passing the `--debug` flag to tailscaled, but can now
set `TS_METRICS_ENABLED=true` to expose the stable metrics documented at
https://tailscale.com/kb/1482/client-metrics at `/metrics` on the addr/port
specified by `TS_LOCAL_ADDR_PORT`.
Users can also now configure a debug endpoint more directly via the
`TS_DEBUG_ADDR_PORT` environment variable. This is not recommended for production
use, but exposes an internal set of debug metrics and pprof endpoints.
operator:
The `ProxyClass` CRD's `.spec.metrics.enable` field now enables serving the
stable user metrics documented at https://tailscale.com/kb/1482/client-metrics
at `/metrics` on the same "metrics" container port that debug metrics were
previously served on. To smooth the transition for anyone relying on the way the
operator previously consumed this field, we also _temporarily_ serve tailscaled's
internal debug metrics on the same `/debug/metrics` path as before, until 1.82.0
when debug metrics will be turned off by default even if `.spec.metrics.enable`
is set. At that point, anyone who wishes to continue using the internal debug
metrics (not recommended) will need to set the new `ProxyClass` field
`.spec.statefulSet.pod.tailscaleContainer.debug.enable`.
Users who wish to opt out of the transitional behaviour, where enabling
`.spec.metrics.enable` also enables debug metrics, can set
`.spec.statefulSet.pod.tailscaleContainer.debug.enable` to false (recommended).
Separately but related, the operator will no longer specify a host port for the
"metrics" container port definition. This caused scheduling conflicts when k8s
needs to schedule more than one proxy per node, and was not necessary for allowing
the pod's port to be exposed to prometheus scrapers.

The default ProxyClass can be set via helm chart or env var, and applies
to all proxies that do not otherwise have an explicit ProxyClass set.
This ensures proxies created by the new ProxyGroup CRD are consistent
with the behaviour of existing proxies
Nearby but unrelated changes:
* Fix up double error logs (controller runtime logs returned errors)
* Fix a couple of variable names

cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator,go.{mod,sum}: make individual proxy images/image pull policies configurable
Allow to configure images and image pull policies for individual proxies
via ProxyClass.Spec.StatefulSet.Pod.{TailscaleContainer,TailscaleInitContainer}.Image,
and ProxyClass.Spec.StatefulSet.Pod.{TailscaleContainer,TailscaleInitContainer}.ImagePullPolicy
fields.
Document that we have images in ghcr.io on the relevant Helm chart fields.

* cmd/k8s-nameserver,k8s-operator: add a nameserver that can resolve ts.net DNS names in cluster.
Adds a simple nameserver that can respond to A record queries for ts.net DNS names.
It can respond to queries from in-memory records, populated from a ConfigMap
mounted at /config. It dynamically updates its records as the ConfigMap
contents changes.
It will respond with NXDOMAIN to queries for any other record types
(AAAA to be implemented in the future).
It can respond to queries over UDP or TCP. It runs a miekg/dns
DNS server with a single registered handler for ts.net domain names.
Queries for other domain names will be refused.
The intended use of this is:
1) to allow non-tailnet cluster workloads to talk to HTTPS tailnet
services exposed via Tailscale operator egress over HTTPS
2) to allow non-tailnet cluster workloads to talk to workloads in
the same cluster that have been exposed to tailnet over their
MagicDNS names but on their cluster IPs.
DNSConfig CRD can be used to configure
the operator to deploy kube nameserver (./cmd/k8s-nameserver) to cluster.
Updates tailscale/tailscale#10499

Adds new ProxyClass.spec.statefulSet.pod.{tailscaleContainer,tailscaleInitContainer}.Env field
that allow users to provide key, value pairs that will be set as env vars for the respective containers.
Allow overriding all containerboot env vars,
but warn that this is not supported and might break (in docs + a warning when validating ProxyClass).

* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator: introduce proxy configuration mechanism via ProxyClass custom resource.
ProxyClass custom resource can be used to specify customizations
for the proxy resources created by the operator.
Add a reconciler that validates ProxyClass resources
and sets a Ready condition to True or False with a corresponding reason and message.
This is required because some fields (labels and annotations)
require complex validations that cannot be performed at custom resource apply time.
Reconcilers that use the ProxyClass to configure proxy resources are expected to
verify that the ProxyClass is Ready and not proceed with resource creation
if configuration from a ProxyClass that is not yet Ready is required.
If a tailscale ingress/egress Service is annotated with a tailscale.com/proxy-class annotation, look up the corresponding ProxyClass and, if it is Ready, apply the configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy's StatefulSet.
If a tailscale Ingress has a tailscale.com/proxy-class annotation
and the referenced ProxyClass custom resource is available and Ready,
apply configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy resources
that will be created for the Ingress.
Add a new .proxyClass field to the Connector spec.
If connector.spec.proxyClass is set to a ProxyClass that is available and Ready,
apply configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy resources created for the Connector.
Ensure that when Helm chart is packaged, the ProxyClass yaml is added to chart templates. Ensure that static manifest generator adds ProxyClass yaml to operator.yaml. Regenerate operator.yaml
