v0.46.0

[github-actions[bot]]

Highlights

• OpenTofu .tofu support: Atlantis now detects OpenTofu versions from .tofu and .tofu.json files, includes those files in default autoplan and project discovery behavior, and detects Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspace configuration from .tf.json, .tofu, and .tofu.json projects.
• Broader core workflow coverage: The E2E harness now activates expanded fixtures from runatlantis/atlantis-tests#21001, covering multi-project targeting, autodiscovery, configured JSON projects, custom workflow environment behavior, and long-output status contexts.
• Safer plan/apply behavior: This release hardens apply validation against stale head/base plan state, preserves on_apply locks during plan cleanup, and fixes /api/plan with policy checks enabled while preserving per-project /api/apply behavior.

Project Health

• Top-Ranking Atlantis Issues 📊 Maintainers and contributors can now use #6608 to see open Atlantis issues ranked by community thumbs-up reactions. The ranking is a signal for prioritization and contribution, not a roadmap commitment or acceptance guarantee.
• Atlantis now uploads Go coverage to GitHub Code Quality, lints the separate e2e Go module, and has automated top-issue ranking to make maintenance work more visible.
• We welcome contributors across bug reports, focused fixes, documentation improvements, issue reproduction, and issue moderation/triage.

Call For Adopters

If your organization uses Atlantis and can share a sanitized setup or adoption note, runatlantis/examples is a good place to contribute it. Public examples help users learn from real deployments, help the project document its ecosystem, and can become future candidates for atlantis-tests fixture coverage.

What's Next

We are also looking at flag lifecycle improvements so Atlantis has a clearer path for introducing, documenting, deprecating, and eventually removing server flags.
