v0.14.1

A broken import that only appeared in the bundled cdktf-cli that we publish broke the 0.14.0 release. This patch release fixes this.

fix

• fix(provider-generator): fix cross package import which breaks the cdktf-cli release bundle #2302

chore

• chore: document authoring cdktf constructs #2287

v0.14.0

Breaking changes
Back in October, we announced significant performance improvements with CDKTF version 0.13. These improvements required breaking changes for which we provided backward-compatible provider bindings in version 0.13. As announced, the 0.12 (non-namespaced) provider bindings will no longer work starting with CDKTF 0.14. Refer to the upgrade guide for 0.13 to learn how to update your imports for these changes.

v0.13.0

Breaking Changes
Abbreviated version below, for a guide see Upgrade Guide for 0.13.

0.13 includes performance improvements to generated providers. Instead of exporting a flat list of exports including all supported resources and data sources, we now export each construct and it's associated structures in their own namespace. Due to this, the way you import constructs from your CDKTF application will change. For more information regarding this release, and some of the reasonings behind the changes, please check out the version 0.13 release post.

Typescript

// Before version 0.13
import { Container, Image, DockerProvider } from "@ckdtf/provider-docker";

// Version 0.13
import { Image } from "@cdktf/provider-docker/lib/image";
import { DockerProvider } from "@cdktf/provider-docker/lib/provider";
import { Container } from "@cdktf/provider-docker/lib/container";

Python

from cdktf_cdktf_provider_kubernetes.kubernetes import Namespace, Service, Deployment, KubernetesProvider

v0.12.3

Breaking Changes

A very minor change in the UX of the cdktf get command now generates the provider bindings for all languages (except TypeScript) in parallel. This speeds up the process in general, but on devices with limited memory it could lead to Out of Memory errors. If this happens you can limit the parallelism by providing the parallelism flag: cdktf get --parallelism=1.

v0.12.2

Breaking Changes

A very minor change in the interface names for provisioners occured to support them in JSII languages, renaming the following interfaces:

• ISSHProvisionerConnection to SSHProvisionerConnection
• IWinrmProvisionerConnection to WinrmProvisionerConnection
• IFileProvisioner to FileProvisioner
• ILocalExecProvisioner to LocalExecProvisioner
• IRemoteExecProvisioner to RemoteExecProvisioner

Another very minor change is that we now use the CloudBackend by default when running cdktf init. This requires Terraform >=1.1, therefore an error is thrown on cdktf init if you want to use Terraform Cloud and are on an older version. Already existing projects are not affected and you can use cdktf init --local and configure the RemoteBackend if you need to use an older version.

v0.12.0

Breaking Changes

cdktf get exits with 0 exit code when no provider / module specifications are found in the cdktf.json

Previously we would throw an error and exit with 1 if there were no provider or module specifications in the cdktf.json file. This can be inconvenient if cdktf get is part of a workflow.

Fn.merge is split into Fn.mergeLists and Fn.mergeMaps

The Terraform merge function can merge both lists and maps, but this can cause issues when using the result in a typed language. Therefore we split it into Fn.mergeLists and Fn.mergeMaps, this means you need to change your cdktf programs code.

Simplified interfaces of recursive attributes

The generated provider bindings are based on the Terraform schema which does not support recursion and hence uses a large, explicit structure instead. Previously this resulted in long names such as e.g. Wafv2WebAclRuleStatementAndStatementStatementOrStatementStatementLabelMatchStatement. In 0.12 we implemented a first rough detection for this underlying recursion which drastically reduced the amount of generated interfaces as they now are converted to recursive data structures themselves.
If you are currently using those types e.g. in a language like Java, you will need to change them to the new shorter names.
