This is a backwards incompatible release. Confd has seen a lot of changes over the last year and it's time to clean thing up a bit. Most users will have to update their Go templates to use the new template functions, others may have to adjust configuration files and command line args.
Since there are a lot of changes in this release 0.5.x will be around for a few more months. This clean up is an effort to get to 1.0 and add watch support for consul and etcd. Please kick the tires and offer feedback.
All work for the 0.6.0 release is being done on the 0.6.x branch.
Release Notes:
- All the old template functions have been removed in this release and are being replaced. See the new templates doc
