## convox.health.interval

This release adds a new `convox.health.interval` label for docker-compose.yml. A custom value for the ELB health check interval may now be set:

```auto
services:
  web:
    labels:
      - convox.health.interval=300

```

Valid values are from 5 to 300.

If no label is set, the default of timeout + 2 will be used.
