v0.5.0

0.5.0 (October 10, 2018)

HIGHLIGHTS:

libvirt Domain

• cloud_init resource is obsolete and replaced with cloud_init_disk (#410)

  The resource does not allow individual fields anymore, and directly takes the user_data, network_config and meta_data fields, which you can provide directly or reading from a file, optionally using a template resource and the rendered function. See the updated documentation.

Volumes/Disk/Storage

• Allow to set the size of a volume larger than its backing volume, which allows to resize the partition then using cloud-init, and not be limited by the backing image (#369 and #357). Example.

v0.4.4

0.4.4 (September 16, 2018)

HIGHLIGHTS:

libvirt Domain

• TF_USE_QEMU_AGENT variable is deprecated and replaced by a domain property qemu_agent.
  Because variables can be interpolated into properties, and variables can be passed via environment variables, the old behavior can be emulated.

Volumes/Disk/Storage

• Automatic disk driver selection based on volume format and automatic volume format detection(676b5a3)

Networking

• dhcp paramater is an optional parameter now, disabled by default. (#385)
• DNS forwarders were reworked. localonly option was added to libvirt-network (7651ee5)
• A datasource called libvirt_network_dns_hosts_template can be used to populate the dns_host attribute in libvirt_network resources. (a4d0ba6)

---

General improvements

• Acceptance tests are now idempotent (no dependency between resource of various tests), which avoids cascade failures. (several PRs and commits)
• Project dependencies were updated ( 1347e7c)
• The error message when uploading a volume fails was improved (1aec44e)

---

Bugs

• netIface["bridge"] now uses the correct value (2e93c78)

v0.4.3

0.4.3 (August 14, 2018)

HIGHLIGHTS:

• IMPORTANT qemu-agent is not used by default to gather network
  interface information anymore. If you need to use, please set
  the TF_USE_QEMU_AGENT environment variable.

• Handle gracefully out-of-band destruction of volume and cloud-init
  resources. Should provide a better end-user experience in day to day
  operations.
