v1.6.0-alpha1
We’re proud to publish our first alpha release!
After over a month of intense work, this release
- is a drop-in replacement, so you can take it for a spin in your existing projects - no changes required;
- uses a registry hosted by us, that will properly resolve all public providers and modules;
- is a great occasion to take tofu for a test drive and give us feedback;
- contains the 1.6 testing feature, which is engineered for feature parity with TF’s own 1.6 testing capabilities, offering a seamless transition with bug fixes and improvements (documentation still pending);
- is great to use for adapting 3rd party tooling to support OpenTofu;
- is free of checkpoint telemetry that was previously there.
It’s important to note that the registry isn’t stable yet and its availability may be spotty at times. Thus, we don’t recommend using this release for any production workflows. It’s meant to be a testing ground, first and foremost. The stable registry design process will be kicking off now, so expect more related issues to appear very soon - we’re looking forward to everybody’s feedback and participation!
We’d like to offer a special thank you to all external contributors who have created issues, discussed them, given us feedback, made code contributions, refactored parts of the codebase and/or created pull requests which are now waiting for the stable release. It’s been a humbling experience to get so much support, and we’re looking forward to continuing this journey with you!
Finally, we’d like to note that the stable release is still some time away, but you can expect more alpha releases until then.
