v1.16.0

Compare Source

1.16.0 (August 26, 2026)

NEW FEATURES:

• Actions can now use before_destroy and after_destroy events. (#​38668)

• cloud: Terraform now displays a summary of policy evaluation outcomes for plan and apply runs against HCP Terraform. (#​38715)

• policy: Terraform now resolves policy plugin credentials from the configured cloud or remote backend during init, plan, and apply, rather than requiring the plugin to read credentials itself. (#​38716)

• graph: The terraform graph command can now output graphs in Mermaid format using the -format=mermaid flag. (#​38719)

• Child module outputs with unreferenced deprecated nested attributes no longer return deprecation warnings. (#​38778)

• The contains() function can now test for null values. (#​38792)

• -invoke can now be combined with -target to specify the calling resource instance when multiple resources trigger the same action. (#​38845)

• The terraform stacks command now automatically infers the target hostname from the local credentials file (credentials.tfrc.json) when neither TF_STACKS_HOSTNAME nor TF_CLOUD_HOSTNAME is set (#​38896)

BUG FIXES:

• import blocks now correctly respect provider local names. (#​38338)

• init: Terraform no longer removes locks from the dependency lock file for providers configured as dev_override. (#​38634)

• init: Terraform now warns when unmanaged providers are in use and may impact provider installation. (#​38656)

• Actions are now invoked with respect to all resource dependencies. (#​38668)

• Terraform now returns the correct error when an import target exists in state but has no corresponding configuration. (#​38782)

• The merge() function no longer panics when passed null objects. (#​38792)

• Allow underscores in provider source address namespaces, so private registry provider addresses are no longer rejected as invalid (#​38894)

• test: Optional ephemeral values do not have to be set at plan time (#​38974)

NOTES:

• init: Errors due to incompatible -upgrade and -lockfile=readonly flags are now raised earlier in the init process. (#​38561)

UPGRADE NOTES:

v1.15.9

Compare Source

1.15.9 (August 19, 2026)

BUG FIXES:

• validate: Child module validation has been fixed and will now raise errors or warning diagnostics for invalid blocks. (list, import, backend, and cloud) (#​38994)

NOTES:

• Update go-slug to v0.18.3 to mitigate CVE-2026-14978, which is a Unicode normalization issue that could lead to files not being correctly excluded via .terraformignore from upload to a Terraform Enterprise or HCP Terraform during a run (#​39036)

v1.15.8

Compare Source

1.15.8 (July 8, 2026)

BUG FIXES:

• Fix terraform init error when installing providers sourced from a service-discovery alias advertised by the configured backend (such as localterraform.com)

NOTES:

• command/init: Provider installation was changed to enable future enhancements in the area. This effectively reverses the log message changes from v1.15. initializing_provider_plugin_message is being re-introduced to replace the short-lived two message types initializing_provider_plugin_from_config_message & initializing_provider_plugin_from_state_message. The change should not have any significant end-user impact aside from the command output. (#​38838)

• command/init: Provider installation was changed to enable future enhancements in the area. This partially reverses the init event order changes from v1.15; module installation will now occur after the backend is initialized. The change should not have any significant end-user impact aside from the command output. (#​38838)

v1.15.7

Compare Source

1.15.7 (June 24, 2026)

v1.15.6

Compare Source

1.15.6 (June 10, 2026)

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed an issue where resources being removed from state via removed block were incorrectly listed under planned_values in json representations of the plan file. (#​38665)

• console: Fixed a panic caused by evaluating an expression involving deprecated values (#​38676)

• Fix exit code for plan, query, and refresh commands for variable-related errors (#​38685)

• Fix two module installation edge cases with null and sensitive/ephemeral module sources (#​38704)

v1.15.5
