+#### Envoy worker threads
+
+Nomad v1.0.0 changed the default behavior around the number of worker threads
+created by the Envoy when being used as a sidecar for Consul Connect. In Nomad
+v1.0.1, the same default setting of [`--concurrency=1`][envoy_concurrency] is set for Envoy when used
+as a Connect gateway. As before, the [`meta.connect.proxy_concurrency`][proxy_concurrency]
+property can be set in client configuration to override the default value.
