Terraform v1.3.0 has been released. This is a final release, which should be ready to use in production.  
This is a minor release in the v1.x series, and so it continues to conform to our [Terraform v1.0 Compatibility Promises](https://www.terraform.io/language/v1-compatibility-promises). There are a few small changes to Terraform’s interactions with external systems which may affect some users; see the [Terraform v1.3 Upgrade Guide](https://www.terraform.io/language/v1.3.x/upgrade-guides) for more information.

This release includes many new features, enhancements and bug fixes, some of which include:

- **Optional attributes for object type constraints** : When declaring an input variable whose type constraint includes an object type, you can now declare individual attributes as optional, and specify a default value to use if the caller doesn’t set it.
- Added functions: `startswith` and `endswith` allow you to check whether a given string has a specified prefix or suffix.
- `moved` blocks can now describe resources moving to and from modules in separate module packages.

This release also includes various other enhancements and bug fixes; for full details, see the [Terraform CLI v1.3.0 changelog](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/v1.3.0/CHANGELOG.md).
