v1.8.12

1.8.12 (June 04, 2021)

BUG FIXES:

• agent: fix logging output by removing leading whitespace from every log line [GH-10338]
• cli: removes the need to set debug_enabled=true to collect debug data from the CLI. Now
  the CLI behaves the same way as the API and accepts either an ACL token with operator:read, or
  debug_enabled=true. [GH-10273]
• envoy: fixes a bug where a large envoy config could cause the consul connect envoy command to deadlock when attempting to start envoy. [GH-10324]
• namespaces: (Enterprise only) fixes a problem where the logs would contain many warnings about namespaces not being licensed.

v1.8.11

1.8.11 (June 03, 2021)

IMPROVEMENTS:

• areas: (Enterprise only) Use server agent's gossip_wan config when setting memberlist configuration for network areas. Previously they used memberlists WAN defaults.
• cli: added a -force-without-cross-signing flag to the ca set-config command.
  connect/ca: The ForceWithoutCrossSigning field will now work as expected for CA providers that support cross signing. [GH-9672]
• connect: update supported envoy versions to 1.14.7, 1.13.7, 1.12.7, 1.11.2 [GH-10106]
• telemetry: Add new metrics for status of secondary datacenter replication. [GH-10073]

BUG FIXES:

• agent: ensure we hash the non-deprecated upstream fields on ServiceConfigRequest [GH-10240]
• api: include the default value of raft settings in the output of /v1/agent/self [GH-8812]
• areas: (Enterprise only) Revert to the 10s dial timeout used before connection pooling was introduced in 1.7.3.
• areas: (Enterprise only) Selectively merge gossip_wan config for network areas to avoid attempting to enable gossip encryption where it was not intended or necessary.
• local: agents will no longer persist the default user token along with a service or check. [GH-10188]
• server: ensure that central service config flattening properly resets the state each time [GH-10239]

v1.10.0-beta3

1.10.0-beta3 (May 27, 2021)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• licensing: (Enterprise Only) Consul Enterprise 1.10 has removed API driven licensing of servers in favor of license loading via configuration. The PUT and DELETE methods on the /v1/operator/license endpoint will now return 405s, the consul license put and consul license reset CLI commands have been removed and the LicensePut and LicenseReset methods in the API client have been altered to always return an error. [GH-10211]
• licensing: (Enterprise Only) Consul Enterprise client agents now require a valid non-anonymous ACL token for retrieving their license from the servers. Additionally client agents rely on the value of the start_join and retry_join configurations for determining the servers to query for the license. Therefore one must be set to use license auto-retrieval. [GH-10248]
