 * agent: Improved /v1/operator/raft/configuration endpoint which allows Consul to avoid an extra agent RPC call for the `consul operator raft list-peers` command. [[GH-3449](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3449)]
 * agent: Improved ACL system for the KV store to support list permissions. This behavior can be opted in. For more information, see the [ACL Guide](https://www.consul.io/docs/guides/acl.html#list-policy-for-keys). [[GH-3511](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3511)]
 * agent: Updates miekg/dns library to later version to pick up bug fixes and improvements. [[GH-3547](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3547)]
+* agent: Added automatic retries to the RPC path, and a brief RPC drain time when servers leave. These changes make Consul more robust during graceful leaves of Consul servers, such as during upgrades, and help shield applications from "no leader" errors. These are configured with new [`performance`](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#performance) options. [[GH-5414](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/5414)]
 * build: Updated Go toolchain to version 1.9.1. [[GH-3537](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3537)]
 * cli: `consul lock` and `consul watch` commands will forward `TERM` and `KILL` signals to their child subprocess. [[GH-3509](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3509)]
 * cli: Added support for [autocompletion](https://www.consul.io/docs/commands/index.html#autocompletion). [[GH-3412](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3412)]
