prepared queries, you'll need to read the
[Consul 0.6.4 upgrade instructions](https://www.consul.io/docs/upgrade-specific.html)
before upgrading to this version of Consul. [GH-1748]
* Consul's Go API client is now configured to disable connection reuse and idle
connections to the Consul server, meaning it can potentially make a new connection
for every API method that's called. Previously, idle connections were supported
and their lifetime was managed by a finalizer, but this wasn't reliable in certain
situations. If you don't reuse your API client object, then there's nothing to do.
If you have a long-lived API client object, you may want to configure it using the
`DefaultPooledTransport` so it will reuse a single connection to Consul. Here's an
[example from consul-template](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template/pull/546/files)
showing how to do this. [GH-1731]
* Consul's Go API client now pools connections by default, and requires you to manually
opt-out of this behavior. Previously, idle connections were supported and their
lifetime was managed by a finalizer, but this wasn't reliable in certain situations.
If you reuse an API client object during the lifetime of your application, then there's
nothing to do. If you have short-lived API client objects, you may need to configure them
using the new `api.DefaultNonPooledConfig()` method to avoid leaking idle connections. [GH-1825]
* Consul's Go API client's `agent.UpdateTTL()` function was updated in a way that will
only work with Consul 0.6.4 and later. The `agent.PassTTL()`, `agent.WarnTTL()`, and
`agent.FailTTL()` functions were not affected and will continue work with older
