parse out components of a template.
* Packer will detect its own crashes (always a bug) and save a "crash.log"
file.

## 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-278]
* builder/vmware: Workstation works on Windows XP now. [GH-238]

exit status. [GH-266]

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]

while AWS state is propogating. [GH-207]

## 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.

`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:
