Hey Packer Community,

We've just cut the release for Packer v1.4.2.  

As part of this release, we've introduced a new "packer console" command 
which will allow you to test variable interpolation via the various Packer 
template engines in real time.  For those of you who have used and found 
value in the Terraform console, hopefully this will be a similar experience.

Some other highlights:

- AWS users who take advantage of spot instances should check out the new 
`spot_instance_types` option which could help prevent you from having a 
build fail because a spot pool is exhausted.
- Azure users can now publish their Managed Images to the Azure Shared 
Image Gallery
- AWS users can share encrypted AMIs across accounts

Some notable bugfixes:
- An AMI naming issue that happened during region copies in AWS has been 
resolved.
- The recursive user variable interpolation introduced last release was not 
working properly when variables were set via the command line or a 
-var-file. This has been resolved.
- Packer will now automatically accept the Chef license in the Chef 
provisioner, preventing hangs with the newest version of Chef.
- Some Powershell provisioner crashes have been resolved.
