Habitat 1.6.56 Released!

[dmcneil]

We are happy to announce the release of Habitat 1.6.56!

1.6.56 addresses a security regression (#7747) where the Supervisor's control gateway server does not correctly validate the secret of client requests. This allowed clients with access to the Supervisor's control gateway port to issue commands without having the correct control gateway secret. This regression was introduced in version 1.5.0 of the Supervisor.

This release also adds arguments for setting the period of Supervisor and service update checks with the --auto-update-period and --service-update-period arguments respectively.

1.6.56 (2020-06-18)
