    that assumed insecure ciphers were being used. The previous behavior can be
    achieved by setting the value of the (undocumented) `cluster_cipher_suites`
    config flag to `tls12`.
+ * API/Agent Renewal behavior: The API now allows multiple options for how it
+   deals with renewals. The legacy behavior in the Agent/API is for the renewer
+   (now called the lifetime watcher) to exit on a renew error, leading to a
+   reauthentication. The new default behavior is for the lifetime watcher to
+   ignore 5XX errors and simply retry as scheduled, using the existing lease
+   duration. It is also possible, within custom code, to disable renewals
+   entirely, which allows the lifetime watcher to simply return when it
+   believes it is time for your code to renew or reauthenticate.
