GitHub Actions has a built-in "Re-run with debug logging" button: when a workflow fails, you click it and the next run launches with runner and step debug logging turned on. Atmos now auto-detects that signal — when you re-run with debug logging, Atmos switches its own log level to Debug for the run. No need to remember to also set ATMOS_LOGS_LEVEL=Debug in your workflow YAML.

atmos describe affected --format=matrix now writes to $GITHUB_OUTPUT automatically when CI is enabled, matching the behavior already shipped for atmos list instances --format=matrix. No more --output-file=$GITHUB_OUTPUT boilerplate in workflow YAML.

Every atmos list subcommand that processes stack manifests now accepts --process-templates and --process-functions (with matching ATMOS_PROCESS_TEMPLATES / ATMOS_PROCESS_FUNCTIONS env vars), matching the flag surface of atmos describe affected and atmos describe stacks. Defaults are true across the board.

You can now enable or disable CI PR comments per-pipeline using the ATMOS_CI_COMMENTS_ENABLED environment variable — no config file changes needed.

When you're using a GitHub App token to manage GitHub resources with Terraform, you probably still want CI commit statuses to use the workflow's own token. Now you can — just set ATMOS_CI_GITHUB_TOKEN.

The atmos auth console command now supports isolated browser sessions, allowing you to have multiple cloud provider consoles open simultaneously — one per identity — without logout conflicts.

Atmos stack processing is now up to 3.5× faster for deep-merge operations — the hot path executed thousands of times per atmos describe component, atmos terraform plan, and every other command that reads stack configuration.

The !terraform.output YAML function now works seamlessly with Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise backends, enabling cross-component dependencies without switching backend types.

The !terraform.state YAML function now supports reading from S3 buckets encrypted with customer-provided keys (SSE-C).

Locals can access {{ .settings }}, {{ .vars }}, and {{ .env }} from the same file during template resolution.

Atmos toolchain now has native GitHub Actions support with the new github format for atmos toolchain env.

Atmos now supports atmos vendor list and atmos workflow list as aliases for their atmos list vendor and atmos list workflows counterparts.

Atmos now automatically provisions backends during terraform init, eliminating the need for a separate backend create command. When provision.backend.enabled: true is set, backends are created just-in-time during your first Terraform operation.

The source provisioner now provides better visual feedback with spinners during auto-provisioning, interactive confirmation prompts for delete operations, and interactive stack selection when --stack is omitted.

The atmos auth env command now exports AWS_REGION and AWS_DEFAULT_REGION when region is configured in your identity settings.

The atmos list components command now correctly shows unique component definitions, supports stack filtering, and uses a new dedicated configuration namespace.

atmos auth login now automatically falls back to provider authentication when no identities are configured, enabling seamless first-time login with auto_provision_identities.

Atmos now automatically detects when your AWS IAM User credentials have been rotated or revoked and prompts you for new credentials inline. No more persistent authentication failures after credential rotation. Plus, improved guidance when credentials expire.

Atmos helmfile commands now use the identity system for AWS authentication and provide more flexible EKS cluster name configuration.

Custom commands now support boolean flags with configurable default values. You can define type: bool flags that default to true or false, making it easier to handle special behavior triggers.

Atmos terraform commands now use a modern registry pattern that improves flag validation, provides better help text, and sets the foundation for enhanced developer experience across all terraform subcommands.

Atmos now includes interactive prompts for missing required flags and positional arguments, making commands more discoverable and user-friendly. This feature is being gradually rolled out across commands.

The atmos workflow command now automatically discovers workflow files, eliminating the need to specify --file for uniquely named workflows. This developer experience improvement makes running workflows faster and more intuitive.

This release brings powerful enhancements to color output in CI/CD environments and significant code quality improvements that make Atmos more maintainable and performant.

Atmos help text now automatically adapts to your configured theme, providing a consistent and visually cohesive experience across all commands. Whether you're using a dark theme like Dracula or a light theme like GitHub, help output will match your terminal's color scheme.

Tab completion for the --stack flag is now context-aware, filtering suggestions based on the component you specify.

We've made several quality-of-life improvements to Atmos authentication commands, making identity management smoother and more intuitive.

Atmos auth, documentation, and workflow management commands now work independently of stack configurations, making it easier to use Atmos in CI/CD pipelines and alongside "native" Terraform workflows.

Atmos now detects circular dependencies in YAML function calls and provides a clear call stack showing exactly where the cycle occurs.

We've significantly improved the AWS SSO authentication experience with styled verification code dialogs, animated status indicators, and proper Ctrl+C handling.

Running atmos auth login without specifying an identity is now more user-friendly. When no --identity flag is provided, Atmos presents an interactive selector to choose from your configured identities.
