• 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]

• core: Reboots via SSH are now handled gracefully (without exception).
• core: Mark disabled as true on forwarded port to disable. [GH-1922]

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

1.2.7 (July 28, 2013)

BUG FIXES:

• On Windows, properly convert synced folder host path to a string so that separator replacement works properly.
• 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]

• 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]

• If Ansible fails to run properly, show an error message. [GH-1699]
• Adding a box with the --provider flag will now allow a box for any of that provider's supported formats.
• 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 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 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]

• 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]

• 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]

• 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]

• 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.
• More robust hostname checking for RedHat. [GH-1566]
• Cookbook path existence for Chef is no longer an error, so that things like librarian and berkshelf plugins work properly. [GH-1570]
• Chef solo provisioner uses proper SSH username instead of hardcoded config. [GH-1576]
• Shell provisioner takes ownership of uploaded files properly so that they can also be manually executed later. [GH-1576]

1.1.6 (April 3, 2013)

BUG FIXES:

• Fix SSH re-use connection logic to drop connection if an error occurs.

1.1.5 (April 2, 2013)

IMPROVEMENTS:

• More robust SSH connection close detection.
• Don't load vagrant plugin installed plugins when in a Bundler environment. This happens during plugin development. This will make Vagrant errors much quieter when developing plugins.
• Vagrant will detect Bundler environments, make assumptions that you're developing plugins, and will quiet its error output a bit.
• More comprehensive synced folder configuration validation.
• VBoxManage errors now show the output from the command so that users can potentially know what is wrong.

BUG FIXES:

• Proper error message if invalid provisioner is used. [GH-1515]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Puppet apply provisioner now retains the default module path even while specifying custom module paths. [GH-1207]
• Re-added DHCP support for host-only networks. [GH-1466]
• Ability to specify a plugin version, plugin sources, and pre-release versions using --plugin-version, --plugin-source, and --plugin-prerelease. [GH-1461]
• Move VirtualBox guest addition checks to after the machine boots. [GH-1179]
• Removed Vagrant::TestHelpers because it doesn't really work anymore.
• Add PLX linux guest support. [GH-1490]

BUG FIXES:

• Attempt to re-establish SSH connection on Net::SSH::Disconnect
• Allow any value that can convert to a string for Vagrant.plugin

1.1.1 (March 18, 2013)

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.

IMPROVEMENTS / BUG FIXES:

• Vagrant works much better in Cygwin environments on Windows by properly resolving Cygwin paths. [GH-1366]
• Improve the SSH "ready?" check by more gracefully handling timeouts. [GH-841]
• Human friendly error if connection times out for HTTP downloads. [GH-849]
• Detect when the VirtualBox installation is incomplete and error. [GH-846]
• Detect when kernel modules for VirtualBox need to be installed on Gentoo systems and report a user-friendly error. [GH-710]
• All vagrant commands that can take a target VM name can take one even if you're not in a multi-VM environment. [GH-894]
• 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.
• Chef JSON configuration output is now pretty-printed to be human readable. [GH-1146] that SSHing succeeds when booting a machine.
• VMs in the "guru meditation" state can be destroyed now using vagrant destroy.
• Fix issue where changing SSH key permissions didn't properly work. [GH-911]

• Fix issue where subprocess execution would always spin CPU of Ruby process to 100%. [GH-832]
• 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]
• Human-friendly error is raised if there are permission issues when using SCP to upload files. [GH-924]

• Better behavior around permissions issues when copying insecure private key. [GH-580]

1.0.7 (March 13, 2013)

• Detect if a newer version of Vagrant ran and error if it did, because we're not forward-compatible.
• Check for guest additions version AFTER booting. [GH-1179]

1.0.5 (September 18, 2012)

• Work around a critical bug in VirtualBox 4.2.0 on Windows that causes Vagrant to not work. [GH-1130]
• Plugin loading works better on Windows by using the proper file path separator.
• NFS works on Fedora 16+. [GH-1140]
• NFS works with newer versions of Arch hosts that use systemd. [GH-1142]

1.0.4 (September 13, 2012)

• VirtualBox 4.2 driver. [GH-1120]
• Correct ssh-config help to use --host, not -h.
• Use "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" for port checking to fix problem where "localhost" is not properly setup. [GH-1057]
• Disable read timeout on Net::HTTP to avoid rbuf_fill error. [GH-1072]
• Retry SSH on EHOSTUNREACH errors.
• 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]
• Relative paths can be used for the config.ssh.private_key_path setting. [GH-808]
• vagrant ssh now works on Solaris, where IdentitiesOnly was not an available option. [GH-820]
• Output works properly in the face of broken pipes. [GH-819]
• 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]
• Checking for port forwarding collisions also checks for other applications that are potentially listening on that port as well. [GH-821]
• Multiple VM names can be specified for the various commands now. For example: vagrant up web db service. [GH-795]

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.
• Add missing rubygems require in environment.rb to avoid possible load errors. [GH-781]

• The --no-provision and --provision-with flags are available to vagrant reload now.
• :openbsd guest which supports only halting at the moment. [GH-773]
• ssh-config -h now shows help, instead of assuming a host is being specified. For host, you can still use --host. [GH-793]

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]
• It is now an error to specify the packaging output as a directory. [GH-730]

0.9.6 (February 7, 2012)

• Fix strange issue with inconsistent childprocess reads on JRuby. [GH-711]

• Fix instability with RedHat guests and host only and bridged networks. [GH-698]
• 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]

0.9.4 (January 28, 2012)

• Important internal changes to middlewares that make plugin developer's lives much easier. [GH-684]
• Match VM names that have parens, brackets, etc.

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]
• Ubuntu guests will now emit a vagrant-mounted upstart event after shared folders are mounted.
• attempts is a new option on chef client and chef solo provisioners. This will run the provisioner multiple times until erroring about failing convergence. [GH-282]
• Removed Thor as a dependency for the command line interfaces. This resulted in general speed increases across all command line commands.
• Linux uses shutdown -h instead of halt to hopefully more consistently power off the system. [GH-575]
• 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)

• Mount shared folders shortest to longest to avoid mounting subfolders first. [GH-525]
• Support for basic HTTP auth in the URL for boxes.
• Solaris support for host only networks. [GH-533]
• vagrant init respects Vagrant::Environment cwd. [GH-528]
• vagrant commands will not output color when stdout is not a TTY.
• Fix issue where box_url set with multiple VMs could cause issues. [GH-564]
• Chef provisioners no longer depend on a "v-root" share being available. [GH-556]
• NFS should work for FreeBSD hosts now. [GH-510]
• SSH executed methods respect config.ssh.max_tries. [GH-508]
• vagrant box add now respects the "no_proxy" environmental variable. [GH-502]
• Tweaks that should make "Waiting for VM to boot" slightly more reliable.
• Add comments to Vagrantfile to make it detected as Ruby file for vi and emacs. [GH-515]
• More correct guest addition version checking. [GH-514]
• Chef solo support on Windows is improved. [GH-542]

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]
