Hello Packer Community,
The Packer team is excited to announce the release of Packer 1.8.6. This release contains fixes to two regressions reported in Packer 1.8.5, and an updated set of bundled plugins; each of which have their own set of fixes and enhancements. For a full list of changes please take a look at the Packer CHANGELOG <https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#186-february-15-2023> . Fixed Regressions: - cmd/hcl2_upgrade: Fix crash when upgrading a legacy JSON template that contains references to user variables in a JSON vars file but has no defined variables block. GH-12250 <https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/12250> - In packer v1.8.5, the bucket's description was not properly set in the bucket object sent to HCP Packer leaving all newly created buckets with an empty description. GH-12235 <https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/12235> Other Notable Fixes: - core/hcl2: Templates with build blocks referencing an unknown source block would display an empty string for the template filename at line 0, which made it difficult to identify the broken build block. Packer has been updated to display the proper filename and line number where the unknown reference resides. GH-12167 <https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/12167> - core: Linux packages now have a vendor label and set the default label to HashiCorp. This fix is implemented for any future releases, but will not be updated for historical releases. As always thank you for your continued support and contributions.
