• Authentication support for Tanzu Mission Control(TMC) local (#58, @prkalle)
• Beyond the Central Repository, the CLI will discover plugins from the ADDITIONAL_PLUGIN_DISCOVERY_IMAGES_TEST_ONLY variable, which is a comma-separated list of OCI images in the format of the Central Repository (#110, @marckhouzam)
• Builder compile will display compilation errors on failures (#21, @vuil)

• The "tanzu plugin search" command is added. It is meant to be used to search for plugins that can be installed. (#52, @marckhouzam)
• The "tanzu plugin search" command no longer shows installation status or context information; the "tanzu plugin list" command should be used to obtain such information" (#131, @marckhouzam)
• The Tanzu CLI now discovers and installs all its plugins from a Central Repository of plugins. This simplifies the user experience and provides a uniform experience for all plugins. (#105, @marckhouzam)
• The Tanzu CLI now supports discovering plugins from a Centralized Repository of plugins.
  All plugins can be found in that repository and are installed from that repository.
  The synchronization of plugin (through "plugin sync" or setting a context) no longer
  installs "standalone" plugins; instead a user must explicitly install such plugins
  with the "plugin install" command. (#45, @marckhouzam)
• The tanzu plugin list command now includes the list of any context-scope plugins that are not installed and warns the user that they should run tanzu plugin sync. (#72, @marckhouzam)

• The command tanzu plugin list now only shows installed plugins. A new tanzu plugin search command will be used to list all plugins. (#53, @marckhouzam)
• The concept of Plugin Groups is introduced. A plugin group provides a list of plugin name/version combinations which can be installed in one step. tanzu plugin group search can be used to find plugin groups, while tanzu plugin install <plugin | all> --group <groupID> can be used to install one or all plugins specified in the group. (#78, @marckhouzam)
• Update plugin-tooling.mk file to generate 'plugin_bundle.tar.gz' along with building the plugin with make plugin-build (#125, @anujc25)

Other (Cleanup or Flake)

• Tanzu Installation locations uses the existing CLI installations directories without ' _' prefix (#173, @mpanchajanya)
• The "tanzu plugin install --local" form is no longer to be used in production. The "--local" flag is therefore hidden. (#153, @marckhouzam)
• The features.global.context-aware-cli-for-plugins feature flag will no longer be read or added to the configuration file. (#35, @marckhouzam)
