   NOTES:

   • Breaking Change: Support for the following architectures ppc64le, mips, mips64, mipsle, mipsle64, s390x have been removed from the Packer releases page. Packer, along with the HashiCorp maintained Packer plugins, have been updated to release binaries for the HashiCorp supported architectures arm, arm64, 386, and amd64. A full list of supported platforms can be found on the Packer Downloads page. GH-11564 GH-11601 GH-11603

   • Breaking Change: The packer-plugin-check(github.com/hashicorp/packer/cmd/packer-plugins-check) has been replaced by the [packer-sdc plugin-check command](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer- plugin sdk/tree/main/cmd/packer-sdc#packer-sdc). Plugin maintainers who may be using the packer-plugin-check as part of their release pipeline are encouraged to move to the packer-sdc command. As an alternative, maintainers can continue to use the packer-plugin-check by pinning the command to Packer 1.7.10. GH-11317

   FEATURES

   • New Command packer plugins command and subcommands to manage external plugins. GH-11553 GH-11625

   IMPROVEMENTS

   • core: Add a env argument to provisioner blocks that allow for setting a map of key/value pairs to inject prior to the execute_command. The env argument is an alternative to using environment_vars for setting environment variables, which has the added ability to read from Packer datasources. GH-11569
   • core: Bump version of go-getter to allow for downloading ISOs with PGP signed checksums. GH-11495
   • core: Docker images are now available for all supported architectures that the linux binaries are built for including arm, arm64, 386, and amd64 GH-11564 GH-11601 GH-11603
   • core: Packer's Linux package service configs and pre/post install scripts are now available under .release/linux. GH-11601 GH-11603
   • core: Packer's Linux packages are now available for all supported Linux architectures including arm, arm64, 386, and amd64 GH-11564 GH-11601 GH-11603
   • core: The dockerfile that is used to build the packer docker image available at hashicorp/packer now lives in the root of this repo. The README that describes how to build the docker targets defined in the Dockerfile are available under ./release/docker/README.md. GH-11564 GH-11601 GH-11603
   • core: The packer-plugin-check command has been removed. Plugin maintainers should update their release configuration to use the packer-sdc plugin- check command. GH-11317

   • core/hcl2: Fixes an issue where HCP Packer build labels from the first completed build image were being copied to all images within the same build. GH-11574 GH-11584
