Packer v1.5.5 released

[Megan Marsh]

Hi Packer community,

Packer v1.5.5 has just been released. This release brings HCL2 template functionality into closer parity with json templates, as well as several small enhancements and bugfixes. 

Some release highlights include: 

* Users of the vsphere-iso builder can now use multiple disks.

* HCL2 Packer configs now support variables from HCL files.

Some notable bugfixes include: 

* WinRMPassword template engine regressions have been fixed in Azure and Google compute builders.

* SSH key Path validation in the Vagrant builder has been fixed.

* Various HCL2 template bugs and crashes have been fixed. 

Backwards incompatabilities: 

* The deprecated Google Compute "sshKeys" metadata field has been replaced with "ssh-keys" for Packer builds; if you are using a very old deprecated image such as Debian 7, you will have to use an older version of Packer. 

For the full details, see our changelog: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#155-march-252020

As always, please reach out or open an issue if you have any problems.

Thanks,

Megan and the Packer Team. 

[Donegan, Bradley P]

Hi Megan,

 

I didn’t see it in the changelog but do the HCL2 improvements include support for packer validate?

 

Thanks,

Brad
