Raw Blame History

0.3.2 (unreleased)

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]
  • builder/virtualbox: Do not check for VirtualBox as part of template 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]

BUG FIXES:

  • windows: file URLs are easier to get right as Packer has better parsing and error handling for Windows file paths. [GH-284]
  • builder/amazon/all: Modifying more than one AMI attribute type no longer crashes.
  • builder/amazon-instance: send IAM instance profile data. [GH-294]
  • builder/virtualbox: dowload progress won't be shown until download actually starts. [GH-288]
  • builder/virtualbox: floppy files names of 13 characters are now properly written to the FAT12 filesystem. [GH-285]
  • builder/vmware: dowload progress won't be shown until download actually starts. [GH-288]
  • 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)

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • provisioner/shell: New setting start_retry_timeout which is the timeout for the provisioner to attempt to start the remote process. This allows the shell provisioner to work properly with reboots. [GH-260]

  • 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.

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]

  • core: build names no longer cause invalid config errors. [GH-197]
  • 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]
