Changelog

FEATURES:

  • Application config syncing with Kubernetes (ConfigMaps), Vault, Consul, and AWS SSM;
    Automatically sync environment variable values with remote sources and restart your
    application when those values change. [GH-810]
  • Access to Artifact, Deploy Metadata: registry and deploy configuration can use
    artifact.* variable syntax to access metadata from the results of those stages.
    The release configuration can use artifact.* and deploy.* to access metadata.
    For example: image = artifact.image for Docker-based builds. [GH-757]
  • template Functions: templatefile, templatedir, and templatestring functions
    allow you to template files, directories, and strings with the variables and functions
    available to your Waypoint configuration.
  • path Variables: you can now use path.project, path.app, and path.pwd as
    variables in your Waypoint file to specify paths as relative to the project (waypoint.hcl
    file), app, or pwd of the CLI invocation.
  • Server snapshot/restore: you can now use the CLI or API to take and restore online
    snapshots. Restoring snapshot data requires a server restart but the restore operation
    can be staged online. [GH-870]

  • core: waypoint exec with no TTY won’t hang open until a ctrl-c [GH-830]
