    • 🏗 build: bump the expected go language version of the main module to 1.13 [GH-7429]
    • 💻 agent: add http_config.response header to the UI headers [GH-7369]
    • agent: Added documentation and error messages related to kv_max_value_size option [GH-7405]]
    • agent: Take Prometheus MIME-type header into account [GH-7371]]

    🛠 BUGFIXES:

    • 📜 dns: Fixed an issue that could cause the DNS server to consume excessive CPU resources when trying to parse IPv6 recursor addresses: [GH-6120]
    • 🔧 dns: Fixed an issue that caused Consul to setup a root zone handler when no alt_domain was configured. [GH-7323]
    • 🛠 sessions: Fixed an issue that was causing deletions of a non-existent session to return a 500 when ACLs were enabled. [GH-6840]
    • 🔧 xds: Fix envoy retryOn behavior when multiple behaviors are configured [GH-7280]
    • 🔧 xds: Mesh Gateway fixes to prevent configuring extra clusters and for properly handling a service-resolvers default subset. [GH-7294]

  • v1.7.0

    February 11, 2020

    NOTES:

    • 🏁 cli: Our Windows 32-bit and 64-bit executables for this version and up will be signed with a HashiCorp certificate. Windows users will no longer see a warning about an "unknown publisher" when running our software.

    • 🚀 cli: Our darwin releases for this version and up will be signed and notarized according to Apple's requirements.

    🚀 Prior to this release, MacOS 10.15+ users attempting to run our software may see the error: "'consul' cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." This error affected all MacOS 10.15+ users who downloaded our software directly via web browsers, and was caused by changes to Apple's third-party software requirements.

    ⬆️ MacOS 10.15+ users should plan to upgrade to 1.7.0+.

    🔒 SECURITY:

    • ⚡️ dns: Updated miekg/dns dependency to fix a memory leak and CVE-2019-19794. [GH-6984], [GH-7252]
    • ⚡️ updated to compile with [Go 1.12.16] which includes a fix for CVE-2020-0601 on windows [GH-7153]

    💥 BREAKING CHANGES:

    • http: The HTTP API no longer accepts JSON fields that are unknown to it. Instead errors will be returned with 400 status codes [GH-6874]
    • dns: PTR record queries now return answers that contain the Consul datacenter as a label between service and the domain. [GH-6909]
    • agent: The ACL requirement for the agent/force-leave endpoint is now operator:write rather than agent:write. [GH-7033]
    • 🔊 logging: Switch over to using go-hclog and allow emitting either structured or unstructured logs. This changes the log format quite a bit and could break any log parsing users may have in place. [GH-1249][GH-7130]
    • intentions: Change the ACL requirement and enforcement for wildcard rules. Previously this would look for an ACL rule that would grant access to the service/intention *. Now, in order to write a wildcard intention requires write access to all intentions and reading a wildcard intention requires read access to any intention that would match. Additionally intention listing and reading allow access if the requester can read either side of the intention whereas before it only allowed it for permissions on the destination side. [GH-7028]
    • telemetry: consul.rpc.query has changed to only measure the start of srv.blockingQuery() calls. In certain rare cases where there are lots of idempotent updates this will cause the metric to report lower than before. The counter should now provides more meaningful behavior that maps to the rate of client-initiated requests. [GH-7224]

    🔋 FEATURES:

    • Namespaces (Consul Enterprise only) This version adds namespacing to Consul. Namespaces help reduce operational challenges by removing restrictions around uniqueness of resource names across distinct teams, and enable operators to provide self-service through delegation of administrative privileges.

    🐛 BUG FIXES

    • 🚀 ARM release binaries: Starting with v1.6.2, Consul will ship three separate versions of ARM builds. The previous ARM binaries of Consul could potentially crash due to the way the Go runtime manages internal pointers to its Go routine management constructs and how it keeps track of them especially during signal handling. From v1.6.2 forward, it is recommended to use:
      • consul_{version}_linux_armelv5.zip for all 32-bit armel systems
      • consul_{version}_linux_armhfv6.zip for all armhf systems with v6+ architecture
      • consul_{version}_linux_arm64.zip for all v8 64-bit architectures

    • connect: don't colon-hex-encode the AuthorityKeyId and SubjectKeyId fields in connect certs [GH-6492]
    • connect: intermediate CA certs generated with the vault provider lack URI SANs [GH-6491]
    • 🔀 debug: Fix a bug in sync.WaitGroup usage. [GH-6649]
    • xds: tcp services using the discovery chain should not assume RDS during LDS [GH-6623]
    • 💻 ui: Fix a bug where switching datacenters using the datacenter menu would lead to an empty service listing [GH-6555]
