1.10.0 (June 22, 2021)

BREAKING CHANGES:

  • connect: Disallow wildcard as name for service-defaults. [GH-10069]
  • connect: avoid encoding listener info in ingress and terminating gateway listener stats names. [GH-10404]
  • 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]
  • licensing: (Enterprise Only) Consul Enterprise has removed support for temporary licensing. All server agents must have a valid license at startup and client agents must have a license at startup or be able to retrieve one from the servers. [GH-10248]

FEATURES:

  • checks: add H2 ping health checks. [GH-8431]
  • cli: Add additional flags to the consul connect redirect-traffic command to allow excluding inbound and outbound ports,
    outbound CIDRs, and additional user IDs from traffic redirection. [GH-10134]
  • cli: Add new consul connect redirect-traffic command for applying traffic redirection rules when Transparent Proxy is enabled. [GH-9910]
  • cli: Add prefix option to kv import command [GH-9792]
  • cli: Automatically exclude ports from envoy_prometheus_bind_addr, envoy_stats_bind_addr, and ListenerPort from Expose config
    from inbound traffic redirection rules if proxy-id flag is provided to the consul connect redirect-traffic command. [GH-10134]
  • cli: snapshot inspect command provides KV usage breakdown [GH-9098]
  • cli: snapshot inspect command supports JSON output [GH-9006]
  • connect: Add local_request_timeout_ms to allow configuring the Envoy request timeout on local_app [GH-9554]
  • connect: add support for unix domain sockets addresses for service upstreams and downstreams [GH-9981]
  • connect: add toggle to globally disable wildcard outbound network access when transparent proxy is enabled [GH-9973]
  • connect: generate upstream service labels for terminating gateway listener stats. [GH-10404]
  • sdk: Add new iptables package for applying traffic redirection rules with iptables. [GH-9910]
  • sdk: Allow excluding inbound and outbound ports, outbound CIDRs, and additional user IDs from traffic redirection in the iptables package. [GH-10134]

  • api: The Content-Type header is now always set when a body is present in a request. [GH-10204]
  • cli: snapshot inspect command can now inspect raw snapshots from a server's data
    dir. [GH-10089]
  • cli: the consul connect envoy --envoy_statsd_url flag will now resolve the $HOST_IP environment variable, as part of a full url. [GH-8564]
  • command: Exclude exposed Envoy ports from traffic redirection when providing -proxy-id and Expose.Checks is set. [GH-10173]
  • connect: Add support for transparently proxying traffic through Envoy. [experimental] [GH-9894]

  • debug: capture a single stream of logs, and single pprof profile and trace for the whole duration [GH-10279]
  • grpc: move gRPC INFO logs to be emitted as TRACE logs from Consul [GH-10395]
  • licensing: (Enterprise Only) Consul Enterprise has gained the consul license inspect CLI command for inspecting a license without applying it..
