Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

On Linux, Terraform now requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later; support for previous versions has been discontinued. Users on older kernels must upgrade their operating system kernel to at least 3.2 to run this version.

●Issue #2

The experimental `terraform rpcapi` command is subject to change and should not be used outside of the Terraform Stacks private preview, as its API may break without notice.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    If running on Linux, ensure your kernel version is 3.2 or later.
  2. 2
    When running `terraform test`, you can now optionally add the `-parallelism=n` flag to control concurrency.

Release Summary

This alpha release introduces parallelism control for Terraform Test, enables short-circuiting for logical operators, and fixes several state and diagnostic reporting bugs. It also drops support for Linux kernels older than 3.2.
