0.2.0 (unreleased)

FEATURES:

• Key Rotation Support: The rotate command can be used to rotate the master encryption key used to write data to the storage (physical) backend. [GH-277]
• Rekey Support: Rekey can be used to rotate the master key and change the configuration of the unseal keys (number of shares, threshold required). [GH-277]

• New secret backend: cassandra: Generate dynamic credentials for Cassandra [GH-363]
• New storage backend: etcd: store physical data in etcd [GH-259] [GH-297]
• New storage backend: s3: store physical data in S3. Does not support HA. [GH-242]
• New storage backend: MySQL: store physical data in MySQL. Does not support HA. [GH-324]
• transit secret backend supports derived keys for per-transaction unique keys [GH-399]

MISC:

• cli/path-help: renamed from help to avoid confusion

0.1.2 (May 11, 2015)

BUG FIXES:

• core: login endpoints should never return secrets
• core: Internal data should never be returned from core endpoints
• core: defer barrier initialization to as late as possible to avoid error cases during init that corrupt data (no data loss)
• core: guard against invalid init config earlier
