Major changes

• Port to Terraform v2 SDK (#969). Please see the MR #969 for details and changes.
  While changes should not break anything, there are semantic differences and different checks and validations performed.

  There is one crash I have seen a few times but did not manage to pin down to something specific. Please report if you see something.

Other fixes

• SCSI use the sd* prefix and not the vd* prefix (#964)
• Update reference to Kubitect project (#966)
• Rework NetworkUpdate workaround (#950)
• Switch from github.com/libvirt/libvirt-go-xml to libvirt.org/go/libvirtxml
• Typo in destroy network error msg (#955)
• Fix networkRange race condition and global state corruption (#945)

This release adds support SHA2 signatureswith RSA keys in servers with SHA1 disabled (RFC8332)

It should fix the issues seen in issues #916 and #886.

For this, we are using a fork of x/crypto with two patches:

• ssh: add support for extension negotiation (rfc 8308)
  https://github.com/golang/crypto/pull/197
• ssh: use extension negotiation (rfc 8308) in ssh clients
  https://github.com/rmohr/crypto/commit/e4ed9664ac545e290a287dc913e01b6939c837ea

This release contains the following fixes:

• Support TPM devices (#888)

• Support specifying websocket port for VNC

• Fix regression supporting querying qemu-guest-agent for network interfaces (#873)

• Fix dead links to XSLT examples (#912)

• Fix removal of domains with snapshots or checkpoints (#899)

• Support specifying "open" forward mode (#900)

  "The new forward mode 'open' is just like mode='route', except that no
  firewall rules are added to assure that any traffic does or doesn't
  pass. It is assumed that either they aren't necessary, or they will be
  setup outside the scope of libvirt."

  See: https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/commit/25e8112d7c32ab271b9cae28f3ccbf5835206693

• Speed up copying images (#902)

• Add support for passwords using the SSH URI's (#887)

• Fix: force new domain if graphics changed

Also:

• add generated binary under PHONY section for recurring builds to actually happen (#903)
• We have enabled golangci-lint for all new commits, and we will slowly fix code retroactively.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• The provider will retry HTTP downloads if they were caused by server errors (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/pull/479)
• XSLT can be used to transform the libvirt XML definition before creating resources, allowing to enable features the provider does not support (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/pull/431)

0.5.0 (October 10, 2018)

HIGHLIGHTS:

libvirt Domain

• cloud_init resource is obsolete and replaced with cloud_init_disk (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/pull/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.

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(https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/commit/676b5a3fec75664990e5a91f24859f35becdee6a)

Networking

• dhcp paramater is an optional parameter now, disabled by default. (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/pull/385)
• DNS forwarders were reworked. localonly option was added to libvirt-network (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/commit/7651ee5824f77f0c7485736315d5a24762f85e60)
• A datasource called libvirt_network_dns_hosts_template can be used to populate the dns_host attribute in libvirt_network resources. (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/commit/a4d0ba6a319d8728cb5d6c10aae593bdd27da516)

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 ( https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/commit/1347e7cabbe68d93f7cc065339636854d7c7d340)
• The error message when uploading a volume fails was improved (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/commit/1aec44e0c990c4edb22578125bae33f92c4a4f39)

Bugs

• netIface["bridge"] now uses the correct value (https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt/commit/2e93c78b2aea17b48639b3d613f12bfad851fd52)

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.

0.4.2 (August 3, 2018)

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Fix crashes when using network devices not associated with a
  network name (regression introduced in 0.4)

• Fix broken ip address detection bug that was introduced in 0.4
• Add support for importing domain, network, volumes (#336)

• Support for multiple provider instances (ie: hypervisors) with different URIs
• Support for keyword-less and nested equal signs in kernel parameters
• Adds the running attribute when creating a domain
• Fix a bug with UEFI/OVMF booting on remote hypervisors
• Update the project dependencies to more recent versions
• The project now provides builds
• The project now has a gitter.im channel
• Integration tests are fixed and working again
