consul v1.7.0-beta1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-12-10 // over 4 years ago

  • NOTES:

    • 🚀 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+.

    💥 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]

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.
