v1.8.5
e4f3138

1.8.5 (December 12, 2022)

NOTES:

  • data/packer-image-iteration has been removed. This was an undocumented and
    unusable data source that was built for experimentation but not released. It
    should not affect users in any way but is being mentioned for visibility
    purposes.
    GH-12111

FEATURES:

  • core: Metadata for capturing template types such as JSON or HCL2 has been added to the
    HCP Packer registry metadata. Upon running a packer build the type of
    template used during execution will be sent along to the registry as
    additional build metadata.GH-12132

PLUGINS:

The following external plugins have been updated and pinned to address open
issues. Please see their respective changelogs for details on plugin
specific bug fixes and improvements.

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • cmd/hcl2_upgrade: Generate variable block for all referenced user input
    variables. GH-12136
  • cmd/validate: Add support for the -evaluate-datasources flag to evaluate
    the data sources from a template during validation time.
    GH-12106
    GH-12152
  • core/hcl2: Variable definition files containing undeclared variables within
    an HCL2 template will no longer warn during build execution. Warnings will
    be displayed to a user during template validation, which can be disabled by
    passing the -no-warn-undeclared-var flag to the validate command.
    GH-12104
    GH-12109
  • core: Docker images have been updated to include the xorriso package for
    supporting the creation of ISO files.GH-12081
  • core: Split HCP Packer publishing components into a separate internal-only
    module. GH-11
    GH-12116

BUG FIXES:

  • cmd/init: The init command will try to fallback to the next available version
    for a plugin, if the most recent version is not available or has a missing
    checksum file. This should prevent Packer from trying to install versions
    that have a GitHub tag but no actual assets.
    GH-12103
  • cmd/plugins: The plugins install sub-command will try to fallback to the
    next available version for a plugin, if the most recent version is not
    available or has a missing checksum file. This should prevent Packer from
    trying to install versions that have a GitHub tag but no actual assets.
    GH-12103
  • core: Bump Go version to 1.18.9 to address vulnerability GO-2022-1144, which
    concerns the net/http and golang.org/x/net
    packages.GH-12153
    GH-12158
  • core: Fix the registration of deleted input artifacts in HCP Packer when
    setting keep_input_artifacts to
    false.GH-11462
  • core: Using different template types when building a HCP Packer
    image iteration will now trigger a runtime build error due to the
    mixing of template types.
