opentofu/CHANGELOG.md

1.7.0 (Unreleased)

UPGRADE NOTES:

• Backend/S3: The default of use_legacy_workflow changed to false and is now deprecated. The S3 backend will follow the same behavior as AWS CLI and SDKs for credential search, preferring backend configuration over environment variables. To support the legacy credential search workflow, you can set this option as true. It'll be completely removed in a future minor version.

NEW FEATURES:

• Add support for a removed block that allows users to remove resources or modules from the state without destroying them. (#1158)

ENHANCEMENTS:

• Added templatestring function that takes a string and renders it as a template using a supplied set of template variables. (#1223)
• Added base64gunzip function that takes a base64 encoded gzip string and returns the decompressed data as a string. (#800)
• Added cidrcontains function that determines if an address belongs to a certain prefix. (#366)
• Added urldecode function that will decode a url-encoded string. (#1234)
• Added issensitive function that returns whether or not a value is sensitive. (#1370)
• Added -concise flag to omit the refreshing state logs when tofu plan is run. (#1225)
• nonsensitive function no longer returns error when applied to values that are not sensitive (#369)
• Managing large local terraform.tfstate files is now much faster. (#579)
  • Previously, every call to state.Write() would also Persist to disk. This was not following the intended API and had longstanding TODOs in the code.
  • This change fixes the local state filesystem interface to function as the statemgr API describes.
  • A possible side effect is that a hard crash mid-apply will no longer have a in-progress state file to reference. This matches the other state managers.
• tofu console should work in Solaris and AIX as readline has been updated. (#632)
• Allow test run blocks to reference previous run block's module outputs (#1129)
• Support the XDG Base Directory Specification (#1200)
• Allow referencing the output from a test run in the local variables block of another run (tofu test). (#1254)
• Allow for templatefile function recursion (up to 1024 call depth default). (#1250)
• Dump state file when tofu test fails to clean up resources. (#1243)

BUG FIXES:

• Fix view hooks unit test flakiness by deterministically waiting for heartbeats to execute ($1153)
• tofu test resources cleanup at the end of tests changed to use simple reverse run block order. (#1043)
• Fix access to known references when using a import block for module resources (#1105)
• Show resource plan even if it failed plan due to prevent_destroy (#1060)
• tofu login now can be interrrupted with Ctrl+C shortcut. (#1074)
• Don't check for version conflicts when doing a force-unlock (#1123)
• Fix Global Schema Cache not working in provider acceptance tests (#1054)
• Fix tofu show and tofu state show not working with state files referencing Terraform registry providers in some instances (#1141)
• Improved stability on 32-bit architectures (#1154)
• Added aliases for state list (state ls), state mv (state move), and state rm (state remove) (#1220)
