Happy December, Packer Community! Your gift for the fourth night of Hanukkah is a new version of Packer. This version has all kinds of new goodies, but some of my favorite additions are:
- We've extended the vmware-vmx builder to allow esxi builds, which means that you can now chain iso and vmx builds entirely remotely. - We've added a new "breakpoint" provisioner which will allow you to pause only between specific provisioners while debugging. - You can now authenticate to your Azure builder using managed identities (MSI) We've also fixed a handful of bugs and regressions, including some final issues with Packer deadlocking while printing to its progress bar, fixing the inventory_directory option in the ansible provisioner, and fixing a Packer hang where you'd get stuck waiting for Packer to validate if your environment didn't have AWS credentials. As always, check out our changelog <https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#133-december-5-2018> for the full details. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of you!
