Terraform 0.15 delivers a wide set of stable interfaces that practitioners, partners, and organizations can rely on.
We’re pleased to announce the release of HashiCorp Terraform 0.15. It is immediately available for download as well as for use in Terraform Cloud.
The Terraform 0.15 release marks the beginning of the pre-release period leading up to Terraform 1.0. Terraform 0.15 includes a number of improvements that solidify Terraform workflows and ensure the stability of Terraform’s feature set for the long term.
In order to help our practitioners adopt new versions of Terraform into their workflows without having to immediately upgrade existing Terraform codebases, we’ve relaxed the remote state data source parser requirements. (Note: This feature has been backported into the 0.14.0, 0.13.6, and 0.12.30 releases). These versions of Terraform and above will be able to access remote state data sources in versions of Terraform up to 1.0.x at the time of release.
Announced as part of Terraform 0.14, but originally ported from our work on 0.15, Terraform state is cross-compatible between versions 0.14.x, 0.15.x, and 1.0.x (when released). This flexibility will let customers more easily move between versions of Terraform.
Terraform 0.15 makes a significant foundational improvement by unifying the console experience across all supported platforms, bringing with it consistent UTF-8 support and a move to virtual terminal sequences on Microsoft Windows, as shown here:
Terraform 0.15 extends value sensitivity to provider attributes, allowing provider developers to help protect values from being printed to the console. Terraform will redact these values wherever they appear. This release also ships with a new sensitive
function (and a matching nonsensitive
function) to further help practitioners manage Terraform’s behavior around sensitive values.
Terraform 0.15 ships with improved logging behavior. Provider developers using the latest SDK (v.2.4+) can now reliably target messages to specific log levels. Additionally, Terraform CLI and provider logging levels can both be controlled independently using TF_LOG_CORE=level
and TF_LOG_PROVIDER=level
.

Terraform 0.15 also marks the conclusion of several ongoing deprecation cycles. This includes a number of removals, so please see the upgrade guide and changelog for more details.
