Vagrant v1.8.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-06-10 // almost 8 years ago

  • 💥 BREAKING CHANGES:

    • The winrm communicator now shares the same upload behavior as the ssh communicator. This change should have no impact to most vagrant operations but may break behavior when uploading directories to an existing destination target. The file provisioner should be the only builtin provisioner affected by this change. When uploading a directory and the destination directory exists on the endpoint, the source base directory will be created below the destination directory on the endpoint and the source directory contents will be unzipped to that location. Prior to this release, the contents of the source directory would be unzipped to an existing destination directory without creating the source base directory. This new behavior is more consistent with SCP and other well known shell copy commands.
    • The Chef provisioner's channel default value has changed from "current" to "stable". The "current" channel includes nightly releases and should be opt-in only. Note that users wishing to download the Chef Development Kit will need to opt into the "current" channel until Chef Software promotes into the "stable" channel.
    • The Arch Linux host capability for NFS removed support for rc.d in favor or systemd which has been present since 2012. Please see GH-7181 for more information.

    🔋 FEATURES:

    • provider/docker: Allow non-linux users to opt-out of the host VM to run Docker containers by setting config.force_host_vm = false in the Vagrantfile.
