Features

• Introduced a new command stembuild construct
• Introduced new functionality in the stembuild package to directly import an OVA from vCenter and convert it into stemcell
• These new functionalities are not available for Windows 2012R2

NOTE: Ensure you download the stembuild that corresponds to the operating system of your local host and the stemcell version that you want to build (e.g. download 1709.20 stembuild for building a 1709.20 stemcell)

Add support for Windows 2019

Release Notes

In the next few releases of stembuild, we will look to add commands to improve the stemcell creation experience.
Features

• Breaking change In lieu of improving the current CLI commands, we have introduced a stembuild package command for the existing functionality of converting a VMDK into a stemcell. More information on the README page.

• Ability to use 1803 as an OS option to support windows 1803 stemcell creation.

• This version was created to correct our versioning scheme.

• Using librsync from the official repo instead of a custom fork. Both Linux and Windows use the same librsync codebase.

Rebuilt the binaries that includes correct libraries to allow building of stemcells using base VHD and delta files.

Version field in stemcell.MF should be inputted as a string, because the BOSH Director strips trailing zeroes from numeric versioning.

For example, this ensures stemcell version '1234.50' does NOT become '1234.5' when uploaded to the director.

Add OVF as a valid stemcell format
