terraform/CHANGELOG.md

0.4.0 (unreleased)

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• Commands terraform push and terraform pull are now nested under the remote command: terraform remote push and terraform remote pull. The old remote functionality is now at terraform remote config. This consolidates all remote state management under one command.
• Period-prefixed configuration files are now ignored. This might break existing Terraform configurations if you had period-prefixed files.

FEATURES:

• New provider: dme (DNSMadeEasy) [GH-855]
• New command: taint - Manually mark a resource as tainted, causing a destroy and recreate on the next plan/apply.
• New resource: aws_vpn_gateway [GH-1137]
• Self-variables can be used to reference the current resource's attributes within a provisioner. Ex. ${self.private_ip_address} [GH-1033]
• Continous state saving during terraform apply. The state file is continously updated as apply is running, meaning that the state is less likely to become corrupt in a catastrophic case: terraform panic or system killing Terraform.
• Math operations in interpolations. You can now do things like ${count.index+1}. [GH-1068]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• New config function: format - Format a string using sprintf format. [GH-1096]
• New config function: replace - Search and replace string values. Search can be a regular expression. See documentation for more info. [GH-1029]
• New config function: split - Split a value based on a delimiter. This is useful for faking lists as parameters to modules.
• New resource: digitalocean_ssh_key [GH-1074]
• New resource: aws_elastic_network_interfaces [GH-1149]
• core: The serial of the state is only updated if there is an actual change. This will lower the amount of state changing on things like refresh.
• core: Autoload terraform.tfvars.json as well as terraform.tfvars [GH-1030]
• core: .tf files that start with a period are now ignored. [GH-1227]
• providers/google: Add size option to disk blocks for instances. [GH-1284]

BUG FIXES:

• core: module outputs can be used as inputs to other modules [GH-822]
• core: Self-referencing splat variables are no longer allowed in provisioners. [GH-795][GH-868]
• core: Validate that depends_on doesn't contain interpolations. [GH-1015]
• core: Module inputs can be non-strings. [GH-819]
• core: Fix invalid plan that resulted in "diffs don't match" error when a computed attribute was used as part of a set parameter. [GH-1073]
• core: Fix edge case where state containing both "resource" and "resource.0" would ignore the latter completely. [GH-1086]
• providers/aws: manually deleted VPC removes it from the state
• providers/aws: source_dest_check regression fixed (now works). [GH-1020]
• providers/aws: Longer wait times for DB instances.
• providers/aws: Longer wait times for route53 records (30 mins). [GH-1164]
• providers/digitalocean: Waits until droplet is ready to be destroyed [GH-1057]
• providers/digitalocean: More lenient about 404's while waiting [GH-1062]
• providers/digitalocean: FQDN for domain records in CNAME, MX, NS, etc. Also fixes invalid updates in plans. [GH-863]
• providers/google: Network data in state was not being stored. [GH-1095]

PLUGIN CHANGES:

• New helper/schema fields for resources: Deprecated and Removed allow plugins to generate warning or error messages when a given attribute is used.

0.3.7 (February 19, 2015)

• command/apply: Fix regression where user variables weren't asked [GH-736]

• New helper/schema field for resources: Exists must point to a function to check for the existence of a resource. This is used to properly handle the case where the resource was manually deleted. [GH-766]
• There is a semantic change in GetOk where it will return true if there is any value in the diff that is non-zero. Before, it would return true only if there was a value in the diff.

0.2.0 (August 28, 2014)
