previous buggy behavior, so it's worth ensuring your configuration is
correct. [GH-5426]

processing. This allows you to extract artifacts from a packer builder and
use them with other post-processors like compress, docker, and Atlas.

handling much more robust.
## 0.3.4 (August 21, 2013)
### IMPROVEMENTS:
* post-processor/vagrant: the file being compressed will be shown
in the UI. [GH-314]

robust if they happen to fail in this stage. [GH-282]

environmental variables.
* builder/digitalocean: API requests will use HTTP proxy if specified
by environmental variables.
### BUG FIXES:
* core: TCP connection between plugin processes will keep-alive. [GH-312]
* core: No more "unused key keep_input_artifact" for post processors. [GH-310]
* post-processor/vagrant: `output_path` templates now work again.
## 0.3.2 (August 18, 2013)
### FEATURES:
* New command: `packer inspect`. This command tells you the components of
a template. It respects the `-machine-readable` flag as well so you can
parse out components of a template.
* Packer will detect its own crashes (always a bug) and save a "crash.log"
file.
* builder/virtualbox: You may now specify multiple URLs for an ISO
using "iso_url" in a template. The URLs will be tried in order.
* builder/vmware: You may now specify multiple URLs for an ISO
using "iso_url" in a template. The URLs will be tried in order.
### IMPROVEMENTS:
* core: built with Go 1.1.2
* core: packer help output now loads much faster.
* builder/virtualbox: guest_additions_url can now use the `Version`
variable to get the VirtualBox version. [GH-272]

validation; only check at execution.
* builder/vmware: Do not check for VMware as part of template validation;
only check at execution.
* command/build: A path of "-" will read the template from stdin.
* builder/amazon: add block device mappings. [GH-90]

crashes.
* builder/amazon-instance: send IAM instance profile data. [GH-294]

written to the FAT12 filesystem. [GH-285]
* builder/vmware: download progress won't be shown until download
actually starts. [GH-288]
* builder/vmware: interrupt works while typing commands over VNC.
* builder/virtualbox: floppy files names of 13 characters are now properly
written to the FAT12 filesystem. [GH-285]
* post-processor/vagrant: Process user variables. [GH-295]
## 0.3.1 (August 12, 2013)

the shell provisioner to work properly with reboots. [GH-260]
### BUG FIXES:
* core: Remote command output containing '\r' now looks much better
within the Packer output.
* builder/vmware: Fix issue with finding driver files. [GH-279]

## 0.3.0 (August 12, 2013)
### BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:
* All `{{.CreateTime}}` variables within templates (such as for AMI names)
are now replaced with `{{timestamp}}`. Run `packer fix` to fix your
templates.
### FEATURES:
* **User Variables** allow you to specify variables within your templates
that can be replaced using the command-line, files, or environmental
variables. This dramatically improves the portability of packer templates.
See the documentation for more information.
* **Machine-readable output** can be enabled by passing the
`-machine-readable` flag to _any_ Packer command.
* All strings in a template are now processed for variables/functions,
so things like `{{timestamp}}` can be used everywhere. More features will
be added in the future.
* The `amazon` builders (all of them) can now have attributes of their
resulting AMIs modified, such as access permissions and product codes.
### IMPROVEMENTS:
* builder/amazon/all: User data can be passed to start the instances. [GH-253]
* provisioner/salt-masterless: `local_state_tree` is no longer required,
allowing you to use shell provisioner (or others) to bring this down.
[GH-269]
### BUG FIXES:
* builder/amazon/ebs,instance: Retry deleing security group a few times.
[GH-278]
* builder/vmware: Workstation works on Windows XP now. [GH-238]

exit status. [GH-266]

allowing Packer to see updated IP/DNS info. [GH-243]
## 0.2.2 (August 1, 2013)
### FEATURES:
* New builder: `amazon-chroot` can create EBS-backed AMIs without launching
a new EC2 instance. This can shave minutes off of the AMI creation process.

without a master.
* The `vmware` builder now works with Workstation 9 on Windows. [GH-222]
* The `vmware` builder now works with Player 5 on Linux. [GH-190]
### IMPROVEMENTS:
* core: Colors won't be outputted on Windows unless in Cygwin.
* builder/amazon/all: Added `iam_instance_profile` to launch the source
image with a given IAM profile. [GH-226]

directory on Windows by retrying.

while AWS state is propagating. [GH-207]

* command/build: If any builds fail, exit with non-zero exit status.
* communicator/ssh: SCP exit codes are tested and errors are reported. [GH-195]
* communicator/ssh: Properly change slash direction for Windows hosts. [GH-218]
## 0.2.0 (July 16, 2013)
### BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

"iso_checksum" and "iso_checksum_type" (with the latter set to "md5").
See the announce below on `packer fix` to automatically fix your templates.
### FEATURES:
* **NEW COMMAND:** `packer fix` will attempt to fix templates from older
versions of Packer that are now broken due to backwards incompatibilities.
This command will fix the backwards incompatibilities introduced in this
version.
* Amazon EBS builder can now optionally use a pre-made security group
instead of randomly generating one.
* DigitalOcean API key and client IDs can now be passed in as
environmental variables. See the documentation for more details.
* VirtualBox and VMware can now have `floppy_files` specified to attach
floppy disks when booting. This allows for unattended Windows installs.

existing artifacts if they exist. [GH-173]
* You can now log to a file (instead of just stderr) by setting the
`PACKER_LOG_FILE` environmental variable. [GH-168]
* Checksums other than MD5 can now be used. SHA1 and SHA256 can also
be used. See the documentation on `iso_checksum_type` for more info. [GH-175]
### IMPROVEMENTS:
* core: invalid keys in configuration are now considered validation
errors. [GH-104]

exporting the VM.
