## 1.8.1 (Upcoming)
### NOTES:
* All bundled plugins have been updated to their latest release to address any
open issues pertaining to the legacy SSH key algorithm fix made to the
Packer plugin SDK.
[GH-11761 ](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/11761 )
[GH-11802 ](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/11802 )
* This release contains the latest golang.org/x/crypto/ssh module which
implements client authentication support for signature algorithms based on
SHA-2 for use with existing RSA keys. Previously, a client would fail to
authenticate with RSA keys to servers that reject signature algorithms
based on SHA-1.
### FEATURES:
* **New Datasource** HTTP datasource retrieves information from a HTTP
endpoint to be used during Packer builds.

## 1.8.0 (March 4, 2022)
### NOTES:
* **Breaking Change** : The `packer-plugin-check` (github.com/hashicorp/packer/cmd/packer-plugins-check) has been replaced by the [`packer-sdc plugin-check` command ](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-sdk/tree/main/cmd/packer-sdc#packer-sdc ). Plugin maintainers who may be using the packer-plugin-check as part of their release pipeline are encouraged to move to the packer-sdc command. As an alternative, maintainers can continue to use the packer-plugin-check by pinning the command to Packer 1.7.10. [GH-11317 ](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/11317 )
