 - Change: Upgraded Emissary-ingress to the latest release of Golang as part of our general
   dependency upgrade process.
 
+- Bugfix: Emissary creating duplicate mapping in ir.json and econf.json while adding weight for canary 
+  release. This leads to getting IR MISMATCH & ENVOY CONFIG MISMATCH error frequently in the logs and 
+  also consumes more cpu. We have introduced a condition that, it will add the mapping only if the mapping
+  is not already present in the group.
