Terraform v1.6.0-beta1 is released.

This release makes available the `terraform test` command, previously experimental, which allows module authors to write and execute structured tests. Docs here: [Tests - Configuration Language | Terraform | HashiCorp Developer](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/v1.6.x/tests)

Other features:

- The `import` block `id` field can now contain expressions referring to other values such as variables. Docs: [Import - Configuration Language | Terraform | HashiCorp Developer](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/v1.6.x/import#import-id)

- Remote plans run on Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise can now be saved locally using the -out option.

See the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/v1.6.0-beta1/CHANGELOG.md) for further enhancements, bug fixes, and upgrade notes.

Please test out this beta release and let us know your feedback. To collate feedback we’d prefer to use GitHub issues ([Issues · hashicorp/terraform · GitHub](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues)). First, check for [known issues](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/labels/v1.6) and then make a new GitHub issue if your feedback isn’t already addressed.
