Hello all,

We’ve just released Consul-Terraform-Sync v0.1.0-techpreview2. This release includes a new API to view the status of task execution and a new configuration option to securely configure Terraform providers for Consul-Terraform-Sync. Corresponding documentation updates are now live on the Consul website: https://www.consul.io/docs/nia

More detail on other features and bug fixes can be found in the changelog below.

As always, please test in an isolated environment before upgrading.

Thanks!
