terraform/CHANGELOG.md

0.13.0 (Unreleased)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• command/import: remove the deprecated -provider command line argument [GH-24090] #22862 fixed a bug where the import command was not properly attaching the configured provider for a resource to be imported, making the -provider command line argument unnecessary.
• config: Inside provisioner blocks that have when = destroy set, and inside any connection blocks that are used by such provisioner blocks, it is now an error to refer to any objects other than self, count, or each [GH-24083]
• config: The merge function now returns more precise type information, making it usable for values passed to for_each [GH-24032]
• The official MacOS builds of Terraform CLI are no longer compatible with Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite; Terraform now requires at least Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan. Terraform 0.13 is the last major release that will support 10.11 El Capitan, so if you are upgrading your OS we recommend upgrading to Mac OS 10.12 Sierra or later.
• The official FreeBSD builds of Terraform CLI are no longer compatible with FreeBSD 10.x, which has reached end-of-life. Terraform now requires FreeBSD 11.2 or later.

ENHANCEMENTS:

• config: templatefile function will now return a helpful error message if a given variable has an invalid name, rather than relying on a syntax error in the template parsing itself. [GH-24184]
• config: The configuration language now uses Unicode 12.0 character tables for certain Unicode-version-sensitive operations on strings, such as the upper and lower functions. Those working with strings containing new characters introduced since Unicode 9.0 may see small differences in behavior as a result of these table updates.
• core: added support for passing metadata from modules to providers using HCL [GH-22583]
• Terraform CLI now supports TLS 1.3 and supports Ed25519 certificates when making outgoing connections to remote TLS servers. While both of these changes are backwards compatible in principle, certain legacy TLS server implementations can reportedly encounter problems when attempting to negotiate TLS 1.3. (These changes affects only requests made by Terraform CLI itself, such as to module registries or backends. Provider plugins have separate TLS implementations that will gain these features on a separate release schedule.)
• On Unix systems where use-vc is set in resolv.conf, Terraform will now use TCP for DNS resolution. We don't expect this to cause any problem for most users, but if you find you are seeing DNS resolution failures after upgrading please verify that you can either reach your configured nameservers using TCP or that your resolver configuration does not include the use-vc directive.

BUG FIXES:

• cli: Fix terraform state mv to correctly set the resource each mode based on the target address [GH-24254]
• cli: The terraform plan command (and the implied plan run by terraform apply with no arguments) will now print any warnings that were generated even if there are no changes to be made. [GH-24095]
• command/show (json output): fix inconsistency in resource addresses between plan and prior state output [GH-24256]
• core: Instances are now destroyed only using their stored state, removing many cycle errors [GH-24083]
• lang: Fix non-string key panics in map function [GH-24277]
