Hello Linkerd2 enthusiasts!

We're happy to announce the Linkerd2 v18.8.1 release! 

• Web UI
• New Tap UI makes it possible to query & inspect requests from the browser!
• Proxy
  
• New Automatic, transparent HTTP/2 multiplexing of HTTP/1 traffic reduces the cost of short-lived HTTP/1 connections
• Control Plane
  
• Improved `linkerd inject` now supports injecting all resources in a folder
• Fixed `linkerd tap` no longer crashes when there are many pods
• New Prometheus now only scrapes proxies belonging to its own linkerd install
• Fixed Prometheus metrics collection for clusters with >100 pods

Special thanks to @ihcsim for contributing the inject improvement!
