1.7.2 (January 6, 2015)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• If you depended on the paths that Chef/Puppet provisioners use to store cookbooks (ex. "/tmp/vagrant-chef-1"), these will no longer be correct. Without this change, Chef/Puppet didn't work at all with vagrant provision. We expect this to affect only a minor number of people, since it's not something that was ever documented or recommended by Vagrant, or even meant to be supported.

FEATURES:

• provisioners/salt: add support for grains [GH-4895]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• commands/reload,up: --provision-with implies --provision [GH-5085]

• providers/docker: Proxy VM works properly even if default provider environmental variable set to "docker" [GH-3662]
• providers/docker: Put sync folders in /var/lib/docker because it usually has disk space. [GH-3680]
• synced_folders/rsync: Create the directory before syncing.

1.6.0 (May 6, 2014)

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• Deprecated: halt_timeout and halt_check_interval settings for SmartOS, Solaris, and Solaris11 guests. These will be fully removed in 1.7. A warning will be shown if they're in use in 1.6.

FEATURES:

• New guest: Windows. Vagrant now fully supports Windows as a guest VM. WinRM can be used for communication (or SSH), and the shell provisioner, Chef, and Puppet all work with Windows VMs.
• New command: global-status. This command shows the state of every created Vagrant environment on the system for that logged in user.
• New command: rdp. This command connects to the running machine via the Remote Desktop Protocol.
• New command: version. This outputs the currently installed version as well as the latest version of Vagrant available.
• New provider: Docker. This provider will back your development environments with Docker containers. If you're not on Linux, it will automatically spin up a VM for you on any provider. You can even specify a specific Vagrantfile to use as the Docker container host.
• Control Vagrant environments from any directory. Using the UUIDs given in vagrant global-status, you can issue commands from anywhere on your machine, not just that environment's directory. Example: vagrant destroy UUID from anywhere.
• Can now specify a post_up_message in your Vagrantfile that is shown after a vagrant up. This is useful for putting some instructions of how to use the development environment.
• Can configure provisioners to run "once" or "always" (defaults to "once"), so that subsequent vagrant up or reload calls will always run a provisioner. [GH-2421]
• Multi-machine environments can specify an "autostart" option (default to true). vagrant up starts all machines that have enabled autostart.
• Vagrant is smarter about choosing a default provider. If VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER is set, it still takes priority, but otherwise Vagrant chooses a "best" provider.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• core: Vagrant locks machine access to one Vagrant process at a time. This will protect against two simultaneous up actions happening on the same environment.
• core: Boxes can be compressed with LZMA now as well.
• commands/box/remove: Warns if the box appears to be in use by an environment. Can be forced with --force.
• commands/destroy: Exit codes changes. 0 means everything succeeded. 1 means everything was declined. 2 means some were declined. [GH-811]
• commands/destroy: Doesn't require box to exist anymore. [GH-1629]
• commands/init: force flag. [GH-3564]
• commands/init: flag for minimal Vagrantfile creation (no comments). [GH-3611]
• commands/rsync-auto: Picks up and syncs provisioner folders if provisioners are backed by rsync.
• commands/rsync-auto: Detects when new synced folders were added and warns user they won't be synced until vagrant reload.
• commands/ssh-config: Works without a target in multi-machine envs [GH-2844]
• guests/freebsd: Support for virtio interfaces. [GH-3082]
• guests/openbsd: Support for virtio interfaces. [GH-3082]

• provisioners/salt: Install args should always be present with bootstrap.
• provisioners/salt: Overwrite keys properly on subsequent provisions [GH-3575]
• provisioners/salt: Bootstrap uses raw GitHub URL rather than subdomain. [GH-3583]
• synced_folders/nfs: Acquires a process-level lock so exports don't collide with Vagrant running in parallel.
• synced_folders/nfs: Implement usability check so that hosts that don't support NFS get an error earlier. [GH-3625]
• synced_folders/rsync: Add UserKnownHostsFile option to not complain. [GH-3511]
• synced_folders/rsync: Proxy command is used properly if set. [GH-3553]
• synced_folders/rsync: Owner/group settings are respected. [GH-3544]
• synced_folders/smb: Passwords with symbols work. [GH-3642]

PLUGIN AUTHOR CHANGES:

• New host capability: "rdp_client". This capability gets the RDP connection info and must launch the RDP client on the system.
• core: The "Call" middleware now merges the resulting middleware stack into the current stack, rather than running it as a separate stack. The result is that ordering is preserved.
• core: The "Message" middleware now takes a "post" option that will output the message on the return-side of the middleware stack.
• core: Forwarded port collision repair works when Vagrant is run in parallel with other Vagrant processes. [GH-2966]
• provider: Providers can now specify that boxes are optional. This lets you use the provider without a config.vm.box. Useful for providers like AWS or Docker.
• provider: A new class-level usable? method can be implemented on the provider implementation. This returns or raises an error when the provider is not usable (i.e. VirtualBox isn't installed for VirtualBox)
• synced_folders: New "disable" method for removing synced folders from a running machine.

1.5.0 (March 10, 2014)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• provisioners/ansible: the machine name (taken from Vagrantfile) is now set as default limit to ensure that vagrant provision steps only affect the expected machine.

DEPRECATIONS:

• provisioners/chef-solo: The "nfs" setting has been replaced by synced_folder_type. The "nfs" setting will be removed in the next version.
• provisioners/puppet: The "nfs" setting has been replaced by synced_folder_type. The "nfs" setting will be removed in the next version.

FEATURES:

• New provider: Hyper-V. If you're on a Windows machine with Hyper-V enabled, Vagrant can now manage Hyper-V virtual machines out of the box.
• New guest: Funtoo (change host name and networks supported)
• New guest: NetBSD
• New guest: TinyCore Linux. This allows features such as networking, halting, rsync and more work with Boot2Docker.

• New synced folder type: SMB- Allows bi-directional folder syncing using SMB on Windows hosts with any guest.
• Password-based SSH authentication. This lets you use almost any off-the-shelf virtual machine image with Vagrant. Additionally, Vagrant will automatically insert a keypair into the machine.
• Plugin versions can now be constrained to a range of versions. Example: vagrant plugin install foo --plugin-version "> 1.0, < 1.1"
• Host-specific operations now use a "host capabilities" system much like guests have used "guest capabilities" for a few releases now. This allows plugin developers to create pluggable host-specific capabilities and makes further integrating Vagrant with new operating systems even easier.
• You can now override provisioners within sub-VM configuration and provider overrides. See documentation for more info. [GH-1113]

• config.ssh.max_tries is gone. Instead of maximum tries, Vagrant now uses a simple overall timeout value config.vm.boot_timeout to wait for the machine to boot up.
• config.vm.graceful_halt_retry_* settings are gone. Instead, a single timeout is now used to wait for a graceful halt to work, specified by config.vm.graceful_halt_timeout.
• The ':extra' flag to shared folders for specifying arbitrary mount options has been replaced with the :mount_options flag, which is now an array of mount options.
• vagrant up will now only run provisioning by default the first time it is run. Subsequent reload or up will need to explicitly specify the --provision flag to provision. [GH-1776]

• providers/virtualbox: Will only set the default name of the VM on initial up. [GH-1817]

1.2.7 (July 28, 2013)

BUG FIXES:

• Use --color=false for no color in Puppet to support older versions properly. [GH-2000]
• Make sure the hostname configuration is a string. [GH-1999]
• cURL downloads now contain a user agent which fixes some issues with downloading Vagrant through proxies. [GH-2003]

1.2.5 (July 26, 2013)

FEATURES:

• vagrant help <command> now works. [GH-1578]
• Added config.vm.box_download_insecure to allow the box_url setting to point to an https site that won't be validated. [GH-1712]
• VirtualBox VBoxManage customizations can now be specified to run pre-boot (the default and existing functionality, pre-import, or post-boot. [GH-1247]
• VirtualBox no longer destroys unused network interfaces by default. This didn't work across multi-user systems and required admin privileges on Windows, so it has been disabled by default. It can be enabled using the VirtualBox provider-specific destroy_unused_network_interfaces configuration by setting it to true. [GH-1324]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Remote commands that fail will now show the stdout/stderr of the command that failed. [GH-1203]
• Puppet will run without color if the UI is not colored. [GH-1344]

• NFS mounts enable UDP by default, resulting in higher performance. (Because mount is over local network, packet loss is not an issue) [GH-1706]

BUG FIXES:

• box_url now handles the case where the provider doesn't perfectly match the provider in use, but the provider supports it. [GH-1752]
• Fix uninitialized constant error when configuring Arch Linux network. [GH-1734]
• Debian/Ubuntu change hostname works properly if eth0 is configured with hot-plugging. [GH-1929]
• NFS exports with improper casing on Mac OS X work properly. [GH-1202]
• Shared folders overriding '/vagrant' in multi-VM environments no longer all just use the last value. [GH-1935]
• NFS export fsid's are now 32-bit integers, rather than UUIDs. This lets NFS exports work with Linux kernels older than 2.6.20. [GH-1127]
• NFS export allows access from all private networks on the VM. [GH-1204]
• Default VirtualBox VM name now contains the machine name as defined in the Vagrantfile, helping differentiate multi-VM. [GH-1281]
• NFS works properly on CentOS hosts. [GH-1394]
• Solaris guests actually shut down properly. [GH-1506]
• All provisioners only output newlines when the provisioner sends a newline. This results in the output looking a lot nicer.

• vagrant ssh-config IdentityFile is only wrapped in quotes if it contains a space. [GH-1682]
• Shared folder target path can be a Windows path. [GH-1688]
• Forwarded ports don't auto-correct by default, and will raise an error properly if they collide. [GH-1701]
• Retry SSH on ENETUNREACH error. [GH-1732]
• NFS is silently ignored on Windows. [GH-1748]
• Validation so that private network static IP does not end in ".1" [GH-1750]
• With forward agent enabled and sudo being used, Vagrant will automatically discover and set SSH_AUTH_SOCK remotely so that forward agent works properly despite misconfigured sudoers. [GH-1307]
• Synced folder paths on Windows containing '' are replaced with '/' internally so that they work properly.
• Unused config objects are finalized properly. [GH-1877]
• Private networks work with Fedora guests once again. [GH-1738]
• Default internal encoding of strings in Vagrant is now UTF-8, allowing detection of Fedora to work again (which contained a UTF-8 string). [GH-1977]

1.2.4 (July 16, 2013)

FEATURES:

• Chef solo and client provisioning now support a custom_config_path setting that accepts a path to a Ruby file to load as part of Chef configuration, allowing you to override any setting available. [GH-876]
• CFEngine provisioner: you can now specify the package name to install, so CFEngine enterprise is supported. [GH-1920]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• vagrant box remove works with only the name of the box if that box exists only backed by one provider. [GH-1032]
• vagrant destroy returns exit status 1 if any of the confirmations are declined. [GH-923]
• Forwarded ports can specify a host IP and guest IP to bind to. [GH-1121]
• You can now set the "ip" of a private network that uses DHCP. This will change the subnet and such that the DHCP server uses.

BUG FIXES:

• VBoxManage or any other executable missing from PATH properly reported. Regression from 1.2.2. [GH-1928]
• Boxes downloaded as part of vagrant up are now done so prior to config validation. This allows Vagrantfiles to references files that may be in the box itself. [GH-1061]
• Chef removes dna.json and encrypted data bag secret file prior to uploading. [GH-1111]
• NFS synced folders exporting sub-directories of other exported folders now works properly. [GH-785]
• NFS shared folders properly dereference symlinks so that the real path is used, avoiding mount errors [GH-1101]
• SSH channel is closed after the exit status is received, potentially eliminating any SSH hangs. [GH-603]
• Fix regression where VirtualBox detection wasn't working anymore. [GH-1918]
• NFS shared folders with single quotes in their name now work properly. [GH-1166]
• Debian/Ubuntu request DHCP renewal when hostname changes, which will fix issues with FQDN detecting. [GH-1929]
• SSH adds the "DSAAuthentication=yes" option in case that is disabled on the user's system. [GH-1900]

1.2.3 (July 9, 2013)

FEATURES:

• Puppet provisioner now supports Hiera by specifying a hiera_config_path.
• Added a working_directory configuration option to the Puppet apply provisioner so you can specify the working directory when puppet is called, making it friendly to Hiera data and such. [GH-1670]
• Ability to specify the host IP to bind forwarded ports to. [GH-1785]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Setting hostnames works properly on OmniOS. [GH-1672]

• Add ARPCHECK=0 to RedHat OS family network configuration. [GH-1815]
• Add SSH agent forwarding sample to initial Vagrantfile. [GH-1808]
• VirtualBox: Only configure networks if there are any to configure. This allows linux's that don't implement this capability to work with Vagrant. [GH-1796]
• Default SSH forwarded port now binds to 127.0.0.1 so only local connections are allowed. [GH-1785]
• Use netctl for Arch Linux network configuration. [GH-1760]
• Improve fedora host detection regular expression. [GH-1913]
• SSH shows a proper error on EHOSTUNREACH. [GH-1911]

• Handle the case where a roles path for Chef solo isn't properly defined. [GH-1665]
• Finding V1 boxes now works properly again to avoid "box not found" errors. [GH-1691]
• Setting hostname on SLES 11 works again. [GH-1781]
• config.vm.guest properly forces guests again. [GH-1800]
• The read_ip_address capability for linux properly reads the IP of only the first network interface. [GH-1799]
• Validate that an IP is given for a private network. [GH-1788]
• Fix uninitialized constant error for Gentoo plugin. [GH-1698]

1.2.2 (April 23, 2013)

FEATURES:

• New DestroyConfirm built-in middleware for providers so they can more easily conform to the destroy action.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• No longer an error if the Chef run list is empty. It is now a warning. [GH-1620]
• Better locking around handling the box_url parameter for parallel providers.
• Solaris guest is now properly detected on SmartOS, OmniOS, etc. [GH-1639]
• Guest addition version detection is more robust, attempting other routes to get the version, and also retrying a few times. [GH-1575]

BUG FIXES:

• vagrant package --base works again. [GH-1615]
• Box overrides specified in provider config overrides no longer fail to detect the box. [GH-1617]
• In a multi-machine environment, a box not found won't be downloaded multiple times. [GH-1467]
• vagrant box add with a file path now works correctly on Windows when a drive letter is specified.
• DOS line endings are converted to Unix line endings for the shell provisioner automatically. [GH-1495]

1.2.1 (April 17, 2013)

FEATURES:

• Add a --[no-]parallel flag to vagrant up to enable/disable parallelism. Vagrant will parallelize by default.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Get rid of arbitrary 4 second sleep when connecting via SSH. The issue it was attempting to work around may be gone now.

BUG FIXES:

• Chef solo run list properly set. [GH-1608]
• Follow 30x redirects when downloading boxes. [GH-1607]
• Chef client config defaults are done properly. [GH-1609]
• VirtualBox mounts shared folders with the proper owner/group. [GH-1611]
• Use the Mozilla CA cert bundle for cURL so SSL validation works properly.

1.2.0 (April 16, 2013)

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• WINDOWS USERS: Vagrant now defaults to using the 'USERPROFILE' environmental variable for the home directory if it is set. This means that the default location for the Vagrant home directory is now %USERPROFILE%/.vagrant.d. On Cygwin, this will cause existing Cygwin users to "lose" their boxes. To work around this, either set VAGRANT_HOME to your Cygwin ".vagrant.d" folder or move your ".vagrant.d" folder to USERPROFILE. The latter is recommended for long-term support.
• The constant Vagrant::Environment::VAGRANT_HOME was removed in favor of Vagrant::Environment#default_vagrant_home.

FEATURES:

• Providers can now parallelize! If they explicitly support it, Vagrant will run "up" and other commands in parallel. For providers such AWS, this means that your instances will come up in parallel. VirtualBox does not support this mode.
• Box downloads are now done via curl rather than Ruby's built-in HTTP library. This results in massive speedups, support for SSL verification, FTP downloads, and more.
• config.vm.provider now takes an optional second parameter to the block, allowing you to override any configuration value. These overrides are applied last, and therefore override any other configuration value. Note that while this feature is available, the "Vagrant way" is instead to use box manifests to ensure that the "box" for every provider matches, so these sorts of overrides are unnecessary.
• A new "guest capabilities" system to replace the old "guest" system. This new abstraction allows plugins to define "capabilities" that certain guest operating systems can implement. This allows greater flexibility in doing guest-specific behavior.
• Ansible provisioner support. [GH-1465]
• Providers can now support multiple box formats by specifying the box_format: option.
• CFEngine provisioner support.
• config.ssh.default settings introduced to set SSH defaults that providers can still override. [GH-1479]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Full Windows support in cmd.exe, PowerShell, Cygwin, and MingW based environments.
• By adding the "disabled" boolean flag to synced folders you can disable them altogether. [GH-1004]
• Specify the default provider with the VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER environmental variable. [GH-1478]
• Invalid settings are now caught and shown in a user-friendly way. [GH-1484]
• Detect PuTTY Link SSH client on Windows and show an error. [GH-1518]
• vagrant ssh in Cygwin won't output DOS path file warnings.
• Add --rtcuseutc on as a sane default for VirtualBox. [GH-912]
• SSH will send keep-alive packets every 5 seconds by default to keep connections alive. Can be disabled with config.ssh.keep_alive. [GH-516]
• Show a message on vagrant up if the machine is already running. [GH-1558]
• "Running provisioner" output now shoes the provisioner shortcut name, rather than the less-than-helpful class name.
• Shared folders with the same guest path will overwrite each other. No more shared folder IDs.
• Shell provisioner outputs script it is running. [GH-1568]
• Automatically merge forwarded ports that share the same host port.

BUG FIXES:

• The :mac option for host-only networks is respected. [GH-1536]
• Don't preserve modified time when untarring boxes. [GH-1539]
• Forwarded port auto-correct will not auto-correct to a port that is also in use.
• Cygwin will always output color by default. Specify --no-color to override this.
• Assume Cygwin has a TTY for asking for input. [GH-1430]
• Expand Cygwin paths to Windows paths for calls to VBoxManage and for VirtualBox shared folders.
• Output the proper clear line text for shells in Cygwin when reporting dynamic progress.
• When using Builder instances for hooks, the builders will be merged for the proper before/after chain. [GH-1555]
• Use the Vagrant temporary directory again for temporary files since they can be quite large and were messing with tmpfs. [GH-1442]
• Fix issue parsing extra SSH args in vagrant ssh in multi-machine environments. [GH-1545]
• Networks come back up properly on RedHat systems after reboot. [GH-921]
• config.ssh settings override all detected SSH settings (regression). [GH-1479]
• ssh-config won't raise an exception if the VirtualBox machine is not created. [GH-1562]
• Multiple machines defined in the same Vagrantfile with the same name will properly merge.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Don't load plugins on any vagrant plugin command, so that errors are avoided. [GH-1418]
• An error will be shown if you forward a port to the same host port multiple times.
• Automatically convert network, provider, and provisioner names to symbols internally in case people define them as strings.
• Using newer versions of net-ssh and net-scp. [GH-1436]

BUG FIXES:

• Quote keys to StringBlockEditor so keys with spaces, parens, and so on work properly.
• When there is no route to host for SSH, re-establish a new connection.
• vagrant package once again works, no more nil error. [GH-1423]
• Human friendly error when "metadata.json" is missing in a box.
• Don't use the full path to the manifest file with the Puppet provisioner because it exposes a bug with Puppet path lookup on VMware.
• Fix bug in VirtualBox provider where port forwarding just didn't work if you attempted to forward to a port under 1024. [GH-1421]
• Fix cross-device box adds for Windows. [GH-1424]
• Fix minor issues with defaults of configuration of the shell provisioner.
• Fix Puppet server using "host_name" instead of "hostname" [GH-1444]

1.1.0 (March 14, 2013)

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• Vagrantfiles from 1.0.x that do not use any plugins are fully backwards compatible. If plugins are used, they must be removed prior to upgrading. The new plugin system in place will avoid this issue in the future.
• Lots of changes introduced in the form of a new configuration version and format, but this is opt-in. Old Vagrantfile format continues to be supported, as promised. To use the new features that will be introduced throughout the 1.x series, you'll have to upgrade at some point.

FEATURES:

• Groundwork for providers, alternate backends for Vagrant that allow Vagrant to power systems other than VirtualBox. Much improvement and change will come to this throughout the 1.x lifecycle. The API will continue to change, features will be added, and more. Specifically, a revamped system for handling shared folders gracefully across providers will be introduced in a future release.
• New plugin system which adds much more structure and stability to the overall API. The goal of this system is to make it easier to write powerful plugins for Vagrant while providing a backwards-compatible API so that plugins will always load (though they will almost certainly not be functional in future versions of Vagrant).
• Plugins are now installed and managed using the vagrant plugin interface.
• Allow "file://" URLs for box URLs. [GH-1087]
• Emit "vagrant-mount" upstart event when NFS shares are mounted. [GH-1118]
• Add a VirtualBox provider config auto_nat_dns_proxy which when set to false will not attempt to automatically manage NAT DNS proxy settings with VirtualBox. [GH-1313]
• vagrant provision accepts the --provision-with flag [GH-1167]
• Set the name of VirtualBox machines with virtualbox.name in the VirtualBox provider config. [GH-1126]
• vagrant ssh will execute an ssh binary on Windows if it is on your PATH. [GH-933]
• The environmental variable VAGRANT_VAGRANTFILE can be used to specify an alternate Vagrantfile filename.

• Hostname is set before networks are setup to avoid very slow sudo speeds on CentOS. [GH-922]
• config.ssh.shell now includes the flags to pass to it, such as -l [GH-917]
• The check for whether a port is open or not is more complete by catching ENETUNREACH errors. [GH-948]
• SSH uses LogLevel FATAL so that errors are still shown.
• Sending a SIGINT (Ctrl-C) very early on when executing vagrant no longer results in an ugly stack trace.

• Fix issue where shell provisioner would sometimes never end. [GH-968]
• Fix issue where puppet would reorder module paths. [GH-964]
• When console input is asked for (destroying a VM, bridged interfaces, etc.), keystrokes such as ctrl-D and ctrl-C are more gracefully handled. [GH-1017]
• Fixed bug where port check would use "localhost" on systems where "localhost" is not available. [GH-1057]
• Add missing translation for "saving" state on VirtualBox. [GH-1110]
• Proper error message if the remote end unexpectedly resets the connection while downloading a box over HTTP. [GH-1090]

• Add missing translation for "saving" state. [GH-1110]

1.0.3 (May 1, 2012)

• Don't enable NAT DNS proxy on machines where resolv.conf already points to localhost. This allows Vagrant to work once again with Ubuntu 12.04. [GH-909]

1.0.2 (March 25, 2012)

• Provisioners will still mount folders and such if --no-provision is used, so that vagrant provision works. [GH-803]
• Nicer error message if an unsupported SSH key type is used. [GH-805]
• Gentoo guests can now have their host names changed. [GH-796]

• Enable Host IO Cache on the SATA controller by default.
• Chef-solo provisioner now supports encrypted data bags. [GH-816]
• Enable the NAT DNS proxy by default, allowing your DNS to continue working when you switch networks. [GH-834]

1.0.1 (March 11, 2012)

• Installers are now bundled with Ruby 1.9.3p125. Previously they were bundled with 1.9.3p0. This actually fixes some IO issues with Windows.
• Windows installer now outputs a vagrant binary that will work in msys or Cygwin environments.
• Fix crashing issue which manifested itself in multi-VM environments.

• The --no-provision and --provision-with flags are available to vagrant reload now.
• :openbsd guest which supports only halting at the moment. [GH-773]

1.0.0 (March 6, 2012)

• vagrant gem should now be used to install Vagrant plugins that are gems. This installs the gems to a private gem folder that Vagrant adds to its own load path. This isolates Vagrant-related gems from system gems.
• Plugin loading no longer happens right when Vagrant is loaded, but when a Vagrant environment is loaded. I don't anticipate this causing any problems but it is a backwards incompatible change should a plugin depend on this (but I don't see any reason why they would).
• vagrant destroy now asks for confirmation by default. This can be overridden with the --force flag. [GH-699]
• Fix issue with Puppet config inheritance. [GH-722]
• Fix issue where starting a VM on some systems was incorrectly treated as failing. [GH-720]

• When using bridged networking, only list the network interfaces that are up as choices. [GH-701]
• More intelligent handling of the certname option for puppet server. [GH-702]
• You may now explicitly set the network to bridge to in the Vagrantfile using the :bridge parameter. [GH-655]

0.9.2 (January 20, 2012)

• Support shell expansions in shared folder guest paths again. [GH-656]
• Fix issue where Chef solo always expected the host to have a "cookbooks" folder in their directory. [GH-638]
• Fix forward_agent not working when outside of blocks. [GH-651]
• Fix issue causing custom guest implementations to not load properly.
• Filter clear screen character out of output on SSH.
• Log output now goes on stderr, since it is utility information.
• Get rid of case where a NoMethodError could be raised while determining VirtualBox version. [GH-658]
• Debian/Ubuntu uses ifdown again, instead of ifconfig xxx down, since the behavior seems different/wrong.
• Give a nice error if :vagrant is used as a JSON key, since Vagrant uses this. [GH-661]

0.9.0 (January 17, 2012)

• VirtualBox 4.0 support backported in addition to supporting VirtualBox 4.1.
• config.vm.network syntax changed so that the first argument is now the type of argument. Previously where you had config.vm.network "33.33.33.10" you should now put config.vm.network :hostonly, "33.33.33.10". This is in order to support bridged networking, as well.
• config.vm.forward_port no longer requires a name parameter.
• Bridged networking. config.vm.network with :bridged as the option will setup a bridged network.
• Host only networks can be configured with DHCP now. Specify :dhcp as the IP and it will be done.
• config.vm.customize now takes a command to send to VBoxManage, so any arbitrary command can be sent. The older style of passing a block no longer works and Vagrant will give a proper error message if it notices this old-style being used.
• config.ssh.forwarded_port_key is gone. Vagrant no longer cares about forwarded port names for any reason. Please use config.ssh.guest_port (more below).
• config.ssh.forwarded_port_destination has been replaced by config.ssh.guest_port which more accurately reflects what it is used for. Vagrant will automatically scan forwarded ports that match the guest port to find the SSH port.
• Logging. The entire Vagrant source has had logging sprinkled throughout to make debugging issues easier. To enable logging, set the VAGRANT_LOG environmental variable to the log level you wish to see. By default, logging is silent.
• system renamed to guest throughout the source. Any config.vm.system configurations must be changed to config.vm.guest
• Puppet provisioner no longer defaults manifest to "box.pp." Instead, it is now "default.pp"
• All Vagrant commands that take a VM name in a Multi-VM environment can now be given a regular expression. If the name starts and ends with a "/" then it is assumed to be a regular expression. [GH-573]
• Added a "--plain" flag to vagrant ssh which will cause Vagrant to not perform any authentication. It will simply ssh into the proper IP and port of the virtual machine.
• If a shared folder now has a :create flag set to true, the path on the host will be created if it doesn't exist.
• Added --force flag to box add, which will overwite any existing boxes if they exist. [GH-631]
• Added --provision-with to up which configures what provisioners run, by shortcut. [GH-367]
• Arbitrary mount options can be passed with :extra to any shared folders. [GH-551]
• Options passed after a -- to vagrant ssh are now passed directly to ssh. [GH-554]

• Tweaks to SSH to hopefully be more reliable in coming up.
• Helpful error message when SCP is unavailable in the guest. [GH-568]
• Error message for improperly packaged box files. [GH-198]
• Copy insecure private key to user-owned directory so even sudo installed Vagrant installations work. [GH-580]
• Provisioner stdout/stderr is now color coded based on stdout/stderr. stdout is green, stderr is red. [GH-595]
• Chef solo now prompts users to run a reload if shared folders are not found on the VM. [GH-253]
• "--no-provision" once again works for certain commands. [GH-591]
• Resuming a VM from a saved state will show an error message if there would be port collisions. [GH-602]
• vagrant ssh -c will now exit with the same exit code as the command run. [GH-598]
• vagrant ssh -c will now send stderr to stderr and stdout to stdout on the host machine, instead of all output to stdout.
• vagrant box add path now accepts unexpanded shell paths such as ~/foo and will properly expand them. [GH-633]
• Vagrant can now be interrupted during the "importing" step.
• NFS exports will no longer be cleared when an expected error occurs. [GH-577]

0.8.10 (December 10, 2011)

• Revert the SSH tweaks made in 0.8.8. It affected stability

0.8.8 (December 1, 2011)

• Properly load sub-VM configuration on first-pass of config loading. Solves a LOT of problems with multi-VM. [GH-166] [GH-181]
• Configuration now only validates on final Vagrantfile proc, so multi-VM validates correctly.
• A nice error message is given if ".vagrant" is a directory and therefore can't be accessed. [GH-172]
• Fix plugin loading in a Rails 2.3.x project. [GH-176]

0.6.4 (October 4, 2010)

0.6.1, 0.6.2, 0.6.3 (September 27, 2010)

A lot of quick releases which all were to fix issues with Ruby 1.8.7 compatibility.

0.6.0 (September 27, 2010)

• VM name now defaults to the name of the containing folder, plus a timestamp. This should make it easier to identify VMs in the VirtualBox GUI.
• Exposed Vagrant test helpers in Vagrant::TestHelpers for plugins to easily test themselves against Vagrant environments.
• Plugins have landed. Plugins are simply gems which have a vagrant_init.rb file somewhere in their load path. Please read the documentation on vagrantup.com before attempting to create a plugin (which is very easy) for more information on how it all works and also some guidelines.
• vagrant package now takes a --vagrantfile option to specify a Vagrantfile to package. The --include approach for including a Vagrantfile no longer works (previously built boxes will continue to work).
• vagrant package has new logic with regards to the --include option depending on if the file path is relative or absolute (they can be intermixed):
  • Relative paths are copied directly into the box, preserving their path. So --include lib/foo would be in the box as "lib/foo"
  • Absolute paths are simply copied files into the root of the box. So --include /lib/foo would be in the box as "foo"
• "vagrant_main" is no longer the default run list. Instead, chef run list starts empty. It is up to you to specify all recipes in the Vagrantfile now.
• Fixed various issues with certain action middleware not working if the VM was not created.
• SSH connection is retried 5 times if there is a connection refused. Related to GH-140.
• If http_proxy environmental variable is set, it will be used as the proxy box adding via http.
• Remove config.ssh.password. It hasn't been used for a few versions now and was only kept around to avoid exceptions in Vagrantfiles.
• Configuration is now validated so improper input can be found in Vagrantfiles.
• Fixed issue with not detecting Vagrantfile at root directory ("/").
• Vagrant now gives a nice error message if there is a syntax error in any Vagrantfile. [GH-154]
• The format of the ".vagrant" file which stores persisted VMs has changed. This is backwards incompatible. Will provide an upgrade utility prior to 0.6 launch.
• Every [expected] Vagrant error now exits with a clean error message and a unique exit status, and raises a unique exception (if you're scripting Vagrant).
• Added I18n gem dependency for pulling strings into clean YML files. Vagrant is now localizable as a side effect! Translations welcome.
• Fixed issue with "Waiting for cleanup" message appearing twice in some cases. [GH-145]
• Converted CLI to use Thor. As a tradeoff, there are some backwards incompatibilities:
  • vagrant package - The --include flag now separates filenames by spaces, instead of by commas. e.g. vagrant package --include x y z
  • vagrant ssh - If you specify a command to execute using the --execute flag, you may now only specify one command (before you were able to specify an arbitrary amount). e.g. vagrant ssh -e "echo hello"
  • vagrant ssh-config has become vagrant ssh_config due to a limitation in Thor.

0.5.4 (September 7, 2010)

• Fix issue with the "exec failed" by running on Tiger as well.
• Give an error when downloading a box which already exists prior to actually downloading the box.

0.5.3 (August 23, 2010)

• Add erubis as a dependency since its rendering of erb is sane.
• Fixed poorly formatted Vagrantfile after vagrant init. [GH-142]
• Fixed NFS not working properly with multiple NFS folders.
• Fixed chef solo provision to work on Windows. It was expanding a linux path which prepended a drive letter onto it.

0.5.2 (August 3, 2010)

• vagrant up can be used as a way to resume the VM as well (same as vagrant resume). [GH-134]
• Sudo uses "-E" flag to preserve environment for chef provisioners. This fixes issues with CentOS. [GH-133]
• Added "IdentitiesOnly yes" to options when vagrant ssh is run to avoid "Too Many Authentication Failures" error. [GH-131]
• Fix regression with package not working. [GH-132]
• Added ability to specify box url in init, which populates the Vagrantfile with the proper config.vm.box_url.

0.5.1 (July 31, 2010)

• Allow specifying cookbook paths which exist only on the VM in config.chef.cookbooks_path. This is used for specifying cookbook paths when config.chef.recipe_url is used. [GH-130] See updated chef solo documentation for more information on this.
• No longer show "Disabling host only networks..." if no host only networks are destroyed. Quiets destroy, halt, etc output a bit.
• Updated getting started guide to be more up to date and generic. [GH-125]
• Fixed error with doing a vagrant up when no Vagrantfile existed. [GH-128]
• Fixed NFS erroring when NFS wasn't even enabled if /etc/exports doesn't exist. [GH-126]
• Fixed vagrant resume to properly resume a suspended VM. [GH-122]
• Fixed halt, destroy, reload to where they failed if the VM was in a saved state. [GH-123]
• Added config.chef.recipe_url which allows you to specify a URL to a gzipped tar file for chef solo to download cookbooks. See the chef-solo docs for more information. [GH-121]
• Added vagrant box repackage which repackages boxes which have been added. This is useful in case you want to redistribute a base box you have but may have lost the actual "box" file. [GH-120]
