UPGRADE NOTES:
- Using the
ghcr.io/opentofu/opentofuimage as a base image for custom images is no longer supported. Please see https://opentofu.org/docs/intro/install/docker/ for instructions on building your own image.
NEW FEATURES:
- New builtin provider functions added (#2306) :
provider::terraform::decode_tfvars- Decode a TFVars file content into an object.provider::terraform::encode_tfvars- Encode an object into a string with the same format as a TFVars file.provider::terraform::encode_expr- Encode an arbitrary expression into a string with valid OpenTofu syntax.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- OpenTofu will now recommend using
-excludeinstead of-target, when possible, in the error messages about unknown values incountandfor_eacharguments, thereby providing a more definitive workaround. (#2154) - State encryption now supports using external programs as key providers. Additionally, the PBKDF2 key provider now supports chaining via the
chainparameter. (#2023) - The
elementfunction now accepts negative indices, which extends the existing "wrapping" model into the negative direction. In particular, choosing element-1selects the final element in the sequence. (#2371)
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed an issue where an invalid provider name in the
provider_metablock would crash OpenTofu rather than report an error (#2347) - When assigning an empty map to a variable that is declared as a map of an object type with at least one optional attribute, OpenTofu will no longer create a subtly-broken value. (#2371)
- The
formatandformatlistfunctions can now acceptnullas one of the arguments without causing problems during the apply phase. Previously these functions would incorrectly return an unknown value when givennulland so could cause a failure during the apply phase where no unknown values are allowed. (#2371)
