Hello Packer Community,


Packer v1.6.2 has been released. This release comes with a new JSON to HCL2
transpiler to help users migrate existing JSON templates into their HCL2
equivalent. See the packer hcl2_upgrade command
<https://packer.io/docs/commands/hcl2_upgrade> for more details.



Some release highlights include:


   -

   Vault integration for HCL2 enabled templates.
   -

   Enhanced support for vSphere Content Libraries.
   -

   Custom AWS builder variables such as SourceAMI and SourceAMIOwner are
   now available via the build template function for use by provisioners.
   -

   Various VMware/vSphere enhancements for customizing, exporting, and
   importing builder artifacts.



Some notable bugfixes include:


   -

   AWS Secrets Manager integration will now read the AWS configuration file
   for region information as opposed to requiring AWS_REGION or
   DEFAULT_AWS_REGION be set.
   -

   vSphere builder will no longer timeout waiting for an IP on guest vms
   with multiple interfaces.



For the full details, see our changelog:
https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#162-august-28-2020



As always, please reach out or open an issue if you have any problems.


Thanks,


The Packer Team
