@@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ IMPROVEMENTS:
 * cli: Added success confirmation message for `nomad volume delete` and `nomad volume deregister`. [[GH-10591](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10591)]
 * cli: Cross-namespace `nomad job` commands will now select exact matches if the selection is unambiguous. [[GH-10648](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10648)]
 * client/fingerprint: Consul fingerprinter probes for additional enterprise and connect related attributes [[GH-10699](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/10699)]
+* consul/connect: Only schedule connect tasks on nodes where connect is enabled in Consul [[GH-10702](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/10702)]
 * csi: Validate that `volume` blocks for CSI volumes include the required `attachment_mode` and `access_mode` fields. [[GH-10651](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10651)]
