This release introduces supported for [DNS-based](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-dns/) autoclustering. rqlite can now lookup a DNS record for specified host, and use the network addresses returned to bootstrap the cluster. This can make it much easier to create rqlite clusters using the kinds of Service-Discovery mechanisms you find on Consul and Kubernetes, which are often based on DNS. See the [documentation](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/AUTO_CLUSTERING.md) for full details on using DNS-based autoclustering.
