OpenTofu

OpenTofu 1.12 is now available! 🎉  After extensive community testing through our beta and RC releases, we're thrilled to announce the stable release of OpenTofu 1.12! 🚀 What's new: - The `prevent_destroy` argument in a resource's lifecycle block can now refer to other symbols within the same module, such as input variables. - `tofu init` now automatically includes a full set of checksums for all platforms using both `zh:` and `h1:` hashes, reducing the need for manually running `tofu providers lock`. - The new `-json-into=FILENAME` CLI option allows saving machine-readable output to a separate file while still producing human-readable output in the terminal. - The new `destroy = false` lifecycle option for managed resources allows removing an object from the state without first destroying the remote object. - Provider installation now performs concurrent requests for faster `tofu init` completion when many providers are needed.
