Released on May 24, 2026, tofu-template-tester v0.2.1 is a focused update designed to improve operational transparency and tool maintainability. While it maintains full compatibility with previous versions, this release provides users with better insights into the environment in which their templates are being rendered.

What’s new

The headline feature of this release is a standardized and comprehensive --version output. Instead of a simple version number, the tool now provides a detailed snapshot of the binary, including:

  • The project name
  • A normalized version string (prefixed with ‘v’)
  • The Go runtime version used for the build
  • The build platform (Operating System and Architecture)

Under the hood, the project has also been updated to the latest Go runtime (v1.26.3) and integrated with a justfile to streamline development and automation tasks.

Why it matters

For infrastructure-as-code practitioners, consistency is everything. When troubleshooting template rendering issues across different environments, knowing exactly which version of a tool is running—and the platform it was built for—removes guesswork and accelerates debugging. By standardizing this output, tofu-template-tester ensures that your automation pipelines and local environments are transparent and reproducible.

Get Started

Upgrading to v0.2.1 is seamless. You can update the tool using the latest binary release or by running the standard Go installation command:

go install github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/tofu-template-tester@latest
