Release v0.46.0

Versions

New Features

  • Rancher DNS Service Discovery Improvements [#2628] - To be more aligned with Docker Engine 1.9, Rancher has now changed the behavior of the internal service discovery mechanism to the following:
    • All services can now be discoverable by all other services without having to explicitly link them together. You can continue to use links for passing environment variables, aliasing DNS names, and for the UI to show service relationships.
    • All containers within a service now have their own DNS entry.
    • DNS service across stacks remain the same. An explicit link is required to create the DNS entry.
    • Links to LB Services remain the same.

Known Major Issues

  • Host IP changes to existing hosts managed by Rancher is known to cause problems. This is most prevalent in EC2 where a restart of a VM causes IPs to change [#2625]
