## 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]
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed X-Consul-Index calculation for KV ListKeys

* Allow mixing of service and check definitions in a configuration file [GH-433]
* Allow notes for checks in service definition file [GH-449]

* 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]
* 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]

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.

* UI improvements, including support for ACLs.
IMPROVEMENTS:
* DNS case-insensitivity [GH-189]

* 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.
