  • v1.2.0 Changes

    February 09, 2018

    BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

    • 🚚 3rd party plugins: We have moved internal dependencies, meaning your 3rd party plugins will no longer compile (however existing builds will still work fine); the work to fix them is minimal and documented in GH-5810. [GH-5810]
    • builder/amazon: The ssh_private_ip option has been removed. Instead, please use "ssh_interface": "private". A fixer has been written for this, which can be invoked with packer fix. [GH-5876]
    • 🏗 builder/openstack: Extension support has been removed. To use OpenStack builder with the OpenStack Newton (Oct 2016) or earlier, we recommend you use Packer v1.1.2 or earlier version.
    • 🏁 core: Affects Windows guests: User variables containing Powershell special characters no longer need to be escaped.[GH-5376]
    • provisioner/file: We've made destination semantics more consistent across the various communicators. In general, if the destination is a directory, files will be uploaded into the directory instead of failing. This mirrors the behavior of rsync. There's a chance some users might be depending on the previous buggy behavior, so it's worth ensuring your configuration is correct. [GH-5426]
    • provisioner/powershell: Regression from v1.1.1 forcing extra escaping of environment variables in the non-elevated provisioner has been fixed. [GH-5515] [GH-5872]
