## 0.3.1 (unreleased)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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]
|
|
* builder/vmware: Look for files on Windows in multiple locations
|
|
using multiple environmental variables. [GH-263]
|
|
* provisioner/salt-masterless: states aren't deleted after the run
|
|
anymore. [GH-265]
|
|
* provisioner/salt-masterless: error if any commands exit with a non-zero
|
|
exit status. [GH-266]
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
IMPROVEMENTS:

|
|

|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
See the docs for more info.
|
|
* New provisioner: `salt-masterless` will provision the node using Salt
|
|
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]
