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]

  • 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.
