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.

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 Vagrant didn't properly detect VBoxManage on Windows if VBOX_INSTALL_PATH contained multiple paths. [GH-885]
• Fix typo in setting host name for Gentoo guests. [GH-931]
• Files that are included with vagrant package --include now properly preserve file attributes on earlier versions of Ruby. [GH-951]
• Multiple interfaces now work with Arch linux guests. [GH-957]
• 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]
• Box adding doesn't use /tmp anymore which can avoid some cross-device copy issues. [GH-1199]

• 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]

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]

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]

• 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]

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]

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)

• Provisioners are now RVM-friendly, meaning if you installed chef or puppet with an RVM managed Ruby, Vagrant now finds then. [GH-254]
• Changed the unused host only network destroy mechanism to check for uselessness after the VM is destroyed. This should result in more accurate checks.

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]
