## 1.12.0 (May 14, 2025)


NEW FEATURES:

* Added Terraform backend implementation for OCI Object Storage ([#34465](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34465))


ENHANCEMENTS:

* Terraform Test command now accepts a -parallelism=n option, which sets the number of parallel operations in a test run's plan/apply operation. ([#34237](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34237))

* Logical binary operators can now short-circuit ([#36224](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36224))

* Terraform Test: Runs can now be annotated for possible parallel execution. ([#34180](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34180))

* Allow terraform init when tests are present but no configuration files are directly inside the current directory ([#35040](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/35040))

* Terraform Test: Continue subsequent test execution when an expected failure is not encountered. ([#34969](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34969))

* Produce detailed diagnostic objects when test run assertions fail ([#34428](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34428))

* backend/oss: Supports more standard environment variables to keep same with provider setting ([#36581](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36581))

* Improved elapsed time display in UI Hook to show minutes and seconds in `mm:ss` format. ([#36368](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36368))

* Update legacy term used in error messages. (Terraform Cloud agent => HCP Terraform Agent) ([#36706](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36706))

* `import` blocks: Now support importing a resource via a new identity attribute. This is mutually exclusive with the `id` attribute ([#36703](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36703))


BUG FIXES:

* Refreshed state was not used in the plan for orphaned resource instances ([#36394](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36394))

* Fixes malformed Terraform version error when the remote backend reads a remote workspace that specifies a Terraform version constraint. ([#36356](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36356))

* Changes to the order of sensitive attributes in the state format would erroneously indicate a plan contained changes when there were none. ([#36465](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36465))

* Avoid reporting duplicate attribute-associated diagnostics, such as "Available Write-only Attribute Alternative" ([#36579](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36579))

* for_each expressions in import blocks should not be able to reference the import target ([#36801](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36801))


UPGRADE NOTES:

* On Linux, Terraform now requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later; support for previous versions has been discontinued. ([#36478](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36478))
