# Consul on Kubernetes 1.3.0

We are pleased to announce the following Consul updates. 

## Release highlights

**Catalog v2:** This release provides the ability to preview Consul's v2 Catalog and Resource API. You must enable this feature.
Catalog v2 supports multi-port application deployments with a single Envoy proxy. Refer to the [v2 Catalog and Resource API](/consul/docs/v1.17.x/k8s/multiport) documentation for more information.

  The v1 and v2 catalogs are not cross compatible, and not all Consul features are available within this v2 feature preview.

  - The Consul UI must be disabled. It does not support multi-port services or the v2 catalog API in this release.
  - HCP Consul does not support multi-port services or the v2 catalog API in this release.
  - The v2 API only supports transparent proxy mode where services that have permissions to connect to each other can use Kube DNS to connect.

  <Note> The v2 Catalog and Resources API is currently in feature preview for Consul on Kubernetes 1.3.0 and should not be used in production environments. </Note>
