     Fixed a bug where the truncation-length specifier for ``DYNAMIC_METADATA():Z`` was rejected in access log format strings.
     The length parameter is now accepted and truncates strings and other value types to the specified length. Structured
     data types are not truncated.
+- area: wasm
+  change: |
+    Foreign functions are executed on effective context, if such is defined. Effective context is set by wasm SDKs, but was not used
+    when foreign function was called. This fixes an issue where a foreign function is called from HTTP or GRPC callback and
+    that foreign function needs a stream context, not root context. This behavior can be reverted by
+    setting the runtime guard ``envoy.reloadable_features.wasm_use_effective_ctx_for_foreign_functions`` to false.
