August 2024​

IAC-Server 1.50.0 and IAC-Manager: 1.32.0​

New features and enhancements​

  • Sensitive data removal: IACM now supports a feature flag that will remove all sensitive data from your plan and state. This can only be used in conjunction with an OpenTofu/Terraform remote backend and offers advanced security with reduced feature set. We recommend contacting Harness support if you are interested in trying this functionality. (IAC-2281)

  • Workspace expression: Enhanced the usage and readability of workspace expressions (IAC-2187)

    • For example, referencing a terraform or OpenTofu variable can be done at workspace level.

  • Connector Validation Enhancement: We've implemented a validation check for connectors when creating or editing workspaces. This update ensures that all connectors used are currently available and of the correct type before proceeding with the operation, to help prevent errors related to non-existent or incorrect type connectors, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of workspace management. (IAC-1602)

February 2024​

Version IAC-Server: 0.152.0​

Fixed issues​

  • Improved Variable Deletion Permissions: Fixed an oversight where permissions for variable deletion were not checked during workspace updates. Previously, checks were only performed via the /variable endpoint using the DELETE method. This update ensures that permissions are verified against both the individual deletions and the broader workspace variable updates, maintaining security without modifying the core architecture between iac-server and sprox.
