## 1.7.0-beta2 (December 20, 2019)

FEATURES:

* ui: UI support for Namespaces [[GH6639]](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/6639)
* ui: Adds UI support for [Exposed Checks](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/6446) [[GH6575]](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/6575)

IMPROVEMENTS:

* acl: Use constant time comparison when checking for the ACL agent master token. [[GH-6943](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/6943)]
* api: **(Consul Enterprise only)** The API client will now configure the HTTP Client's configured default namespace to the value of the `CONSUL_NAMESPACE` environment variable if not explicitly overridden.
* connect: Allow inlining of the TLS certificate in the Envoy configuration. [[GH-6360](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/6360)]
* namespaces: **(Consul Enterprise only)** The desired namespace will be defaulted to the namespace of the ACL token used for an HTTP/RPC request if no other namespace is explicitly set.
* namespaces: **(Consul Enterprise only)** Allow for creating and resolving tokens not linked to any roles, policies or service identities. These tokens can be granted access based on the default policies and roles associated with the tokens namespace.
* ui: Various visual CSS amends and alterations [[GH6495]](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/6495) [[GH6881]](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/6881)

BUG FIXES

* api: **(Consul Enterprise only)** The Meta field was added into the `Namespace` struct definition within the API module. Previously the HTTP accepted this field, it was just missing from the API client.
