 * Options to join the WAN pool on start (`start_join_wan`, `retry_join_wan`) [GH-477]

   address that is different from the agent. [GH-229] [GH-570]
 * Support KV Delete with Check-And-Set  [GH-589]

 * 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]

BUG FIXES:

 * Fixed X-Consul-Index calculation for KV ListKeys

 * CLI respects CONSUL_RPC_ADDR environment variable to load parameter [GH-542]

 * 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]
 * K/V HTTP endpoint returns 400 on conflicting flags [GH-634] [GH-432]

MISC:

 * UI confirms before deleting key sub-tree [GH-520]
 * More useful output in "consul version" [GH-480]
 * Many documentation improvements
 * Reduce log messages when quorum member is logs [GH-566]

UPGRADE NOTES:

 * If `acl_default_policy` is "deny", ensure tokens are updated to enable
   service registration to avoid a service disruption. The new ACL policy
   can be submitted with 0.4 before upgrading to 0.5 where it will be
   enforced.

 * Servers running 0.5.X cannot be mixed with older servers. (Any client
   version is fine). There is a 15 minute upgrade window where mixed
   versions are allowed before older servers will panic due to an unsupported
   internal command. This is due to the new KV tombstones which are internal
   to servers.

## 0.4.0 (September 5, 2014)

 * 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.

    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:

  panics.
