Prior to version 1.7.0, the Packer core repository (https://github.com/hashicorp/packer) contained the libraries and interfaces used by Packer plugins. In version 1.7.0, these libraries were moved into their own repository (https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-sdk). If you authored a plugin prior to the v1.7.0 release using the API version 4, you should switch to the Packer Plugin SDK. ## Update plugins to use the new SDK
