v1.5.0

• Add optional index variable to Fn::Map and Fn::Length to obtain the length of a list (@arjanvandervelde)
• Add Fn::DeepMerge (@nmccready)

v1.4.2

• Add support for Fn::Sequence

v1.0.1

Breaking changes:

• aws-sdk is now a peer dependency
• dropped support for NodeJS 4 and 6

Features:

• you can now provide a --bucket parameter which allows you to validate templates > 50k
• Validation errors are now pretty-printed without a full stack trace

Housekeeping:

• replace nomnom with yargs

v0.11.3

• Renamed !GetCidr to !Cidr after AWS changed their mind on how to name that function 😞 (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/intrinsic-function-reference-cidr.html)

v0.11.2

• Added !GetCidr intrinsic function to the schema (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/intrinsic-function-reference-getcidr.html)

v0.11.1

• Fixed broken response when using --validate

v0.11.0

Breaking Changes:

• With this release we are dropping support for NodeJS < 4.0.0.
• We no longer create a Metadata key in the output template. If you want to depend on this feature, pass the --metadata flag. See #30.
• Previously, we used request to load includes from HTTP and HTTPS endpoints. This has now been replaced with the node built-in http and https libraries.

Features:

• When outputting to yaml, keys are now sorted. This will allow to generate meaningful diffs between templates.
• templates can now be read from stdin e.g. passed from another preprocessor without writing to a temporary file: cat mytemplate.yml | cfn-include --validate --yaml
• the api type now recognizes the AWS region provided by the AWS_REGION and AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environmental variables. If none are defined, it defaults to us-east-1.
• Fn::Merge will now merge it's output into its parent object instead of replacing it

v0.10.0

New Features:

• Fn::Stringify takes a data structure and converts it into a JSON string

Bug Fixes:

• do not exit the process in module code and capture unhandled exceptions in cli.js, #fixes 28

v0.9.0

New Feature:

• new type: string introduced (thanks to @rschick) which makes it easier to include files as strings for use with Fn::Sub and without the infamous Fn::Join syntax.

Deprecated:

• type: literal is deprecated as Fn::Sub made working with Refs so much easier. Check out type: string, I've also updated the README to use type: string everywhere.
• Node < v4 is deprecated. AWS Lambda has deprecated their v0.10.42 runtime as well which was the only reason this module is still supporting this old version.

Fixed Bugs:

• If the included file was empty, cfn-include would go into an infinite loop. That has been fixed.

v0.8.3

• cfn-include --version now exits with an exit code of 0
• YAML syntax now supports the shorthand !GetAtt Role.Arn which previously would have been written as !GetAtt [Role, Arn]
• Added support for !Split
