1.16.0 (July 24, 2026)

FEATURES:

  • provenance: add new provenance post-processor and packer verify-attestation command for
    SLSA Build L1/L2 supply-chain attestations. Derives in-toto subjects from Packer artifacts,
    builds SLSA Provenance v1 predicates with Git/CI metadata, and signs via local PEM key, cloud
    KMS (awskms://, gcpkms://, azurekms://, hashivault://), or keyless Sigstore (Fulcio +
    optional Rekor transparency log). Reference CI workflows for L2 keyless and L3-compatible
    delegated-signing patterns are included under examples/ci/.
    GH-13667
  • core/hcl2: add rfc3339_parse and unix_timestamp_parse template functions. Both accept
    RFC 3339 timestamps; unix_timestamp_parse additionally accepts Unix epoch integers.
    GH-13669
  • core/hcl2: add continue_on_error meta-argument to provisioner blocks. When set to true,
    a provisioner failure is logged and the build continues rather than halting.
    GH-13674
  • core/hcl2: variable object types now support optional() attribute modifiers, allowing
    object variables to declare per-attribute defaults and omit fields that have a default set.
