v0.12.0-beta1
Pre-release
Pre-release
This is a pre-release version of Terraform v0.12.0.
For important information on the status of this release, please see the release announcement.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES / NOTES:
- backend/s3:
workspace_key_prefix
can no longer be defined with leading or trailing slashes. Users should verify the state paths in s3 if they need to change this in case there are extra slashes in the keys (#20432) - config:
path.module
andpath.root
now return paths with forward slashes on all operating systems, including Windows. This avoids the need to write constructed paths differently for Windows vs. other operating systems, but any existing constructed paths containing backslashes for Windows must now be rewritten to use forward slashes, like"${path.module}/foo/bar"
. (#19708) - config:
path.module
andpath.root
are now relative to the current working directory, rather than absolute as before. This avoids including a host-specific absolute path prefix on constructed paths, but may show as a diff after upgrade in situations where a constructed path is included in a resource attribute value. (#19708) - tools/terraform-bundle: use the
terraform-bundle
of the same tag as the targeted terraform binary version. This avoids adding complexity to resolve protocol versions across different terraform versions. (#20030)
