v0.5.0

Advisory ⚠️

This release breaks the installation of the packer-sdc command using go install github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-sdk/cmd/packer-sdc@v0.5.0. Please hold-off upgrading for now, as we work on a fix for this issue and re-release the SDK.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Upgrade Notes

This release contains changes to the API that introduce compatibility constraints for zclconf/go-cty. Namely, the bundled version of go-cty used by the SDK is now provided via a fork to resolve the encoding/gob incompatibility issue introduced by the breaking change in zclconf/go-cty v1.11.0. Before upgrading we ask that you carefully review this section and refer to packer-plugin-sdk#187 for details on upgrading your plugin dependencies.

• Gob supported compile time check: we added a Go compile time check to the SDK for validating that a plugins' version of github.com/zclconf/go-cty contains encoding/gob support for cty.Type and cty.Value. GH-189
• Replaced github.com/zclconf/go-cty with a temporary fork: to avoid introducing a major breaking change to the plugin API, we've created a temporary fork of github.com/zclconf/go-cty containing support for gob encoding to use in place of the upstream go-cty package. Consumers of the Packer plugin SDK now require a replace directive within their plugin's go module file to point to a compatible version of go-cty. The packer-sdc command has been updated to help apply these types of fixes. GH-189
• Added a fix command to packer-sdc: to help with the manual intervention and future changes to the SDK, we've introduced a fix sub-command to apply the replace directive to your plugin with a recommended version of the fork. GH-190
