consul/CHANGELOG.md

## 0.5.0 (Unreleased)

FEATURES:

 * Key rotation support for gossip layer. This allows the `encrypt` key
   to be changed globally.  See "keyring" command. [GH-336]
 * Options to join the WAN pool on start (`start_join_wan`, `retry_join_wan`) [GH-477]
 * Optional HTTPS interface [GH-478]
 * Ephemeral keys via "delete" session behavior. This allows keys to be deleted when
   a session is invalidated instead of having the lock released. Adds new "Behavior"
   field to Session which is configurable. [GH-487]
 * Reverse DNS lookups via PTR for IPv4 and IPv6 [GH-475]
 * API added checks and services are persisted. This means services and
   checks will survive a crash or restart. [GH-497]
 * ACLs can now protect service registration. Users in blacklist mode should
   allow registrations before upgrading to prevent a service disruption. [GH-506] [GH-465]
 * Sessions support a heartbeat failure detector via use of TTLs. This adds a new
   "TTL" field to Sessions and a `/v1/session/renew` endpoint. Heartbeats act like a
   failure detector (health check), but are managed by the servers. [GH-524] [GH-172]
 * Support for service specific IP addresses. This allows the service to advertise an
   address that is different from the agent. [GH-229] [GH-570]
 * Support KV Delete with Check-And-Set  [GH-589]
 * Merge `armon/consul-api` into `api` as official Go client.
 * Support for distributed locks and semaphores in API client [GH-594] [GH-600]
 * Support for native HTTP health checks [GH-592]
 * Support for node and service maintanence modes [GH-606]
 * Added new "consul maint" command to easily toggle maintanence modes [GH-625]
 * Added new "consul lock" command for simple highly-available deployments.
   This lets Consul manage the leader election and easily handle N+1 deployments
   without the applications being Consul aware. [GH-619]
 * Multiple checks can be associated with a service [GH-591] [GH-230]

 * Reject invalid configurations to simplify validation [GH-576]
 * Guard against accidental cluster mixing [GH-580] [GH-260]
 * Added option to filter DNS results on warning [GH-595]
 * Improve write throughput with raft log caching [GH-604]
 * Added ability to bind RPC and HTTP listeners to UNIX sockets [GH-587] [GH-612]

MISC:

MISC:

 * Health state "unknown" being deprecated

## 0.4.0 (September 5, 2014)

FEATURES:

 * Fine-grained ACL system to restrict access to KV store. Clients
   use tokens which can be restricted to (read, write, deny) permissions
   using longest-prefix matches.

 * Watch mechanisms added to invoke a handler when data changes in consul.
   Used with the `consul watch` command, or by specifying `watches` in
   an agent configuration.

 * Event system added to support custom user events. Events are fired using
   the `consul event` command. They are handled using a standard watch.

 * Remote execution using `consul exec`. This allows for command execution on remote
   instances mediated through Consul.

 * RFC-2782 style DNS lookups supported

 * UI improvements, including support for ACLs.

    DNS, HTTP, or RPC endpoints. [GH-301] [GH-253]
  * Support [Checkpoint](http://checkpoint.hashicorp.com) for security bulletins
    and update announcements.

  * Fixed race condition in `-bootstrap-expect` [GH-254]
  * Require PUT to /v1/session/destroy [GH-285]
  * Fixed registration race condition [GH-300] [GH-279]

UPGRADE NOTES:

  Consul 0.4. Mixed server versions with ACL support enabled may result in
  panics.
