consul/CHANGELOG.md

## 0.4.1 (Unreleased)

BUG FIXES:

 * Fixing only a single watch being run by an agent [GH-337]
 * Fixing potential race in connection multiplexing
 * Fixing issue with Session ID and ACL ID generation. Previously,
   sessions and tokens could be invalidated when the leader changed.
 * Fixing multiple headers for /v1/event/list endpoint [GH-361]

## 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.

IMPROVEMENTS:

  * DNS case-insensitivity [GH-189]
  * Support for HTTP `?pretty` parameter to pretty format JSON output.
  * Use $SHELL when invoking handlers. [GH-237]
  * Agent takes the `-encrypt` CLI Flag [GH-245]
  * New `statsd_add` config for Statsd support. [GH-247]
  * New `addresses` config for providing an override to `client_addr` for
    DNS, HTTP, or RPC endpoints. [GH-301] [GH-253]
  * Support [Checkpoint](http://checkpoint.hashicorp.com) for security bulletins
    and update announcements.

BUG FIXES:

  * 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:

  * ACL support should not be enabled until all server nodes are running
  Consul 0.4. Mixed server versions with ACL support enabled may result in
  panics.
