Data sources are a new kind of primitive in Terraform. Attributes for data sources are refreshed and available during the planning stage. (#6598)
Lists and maps can now be used as first class types for variables and may also be passed between modules. (#6322)
State management CLI commands provide
a variety of state manipulation functions for advanced use cases. This
should be used where possible instead of manually modifying state files.
(#5811)
State Import allows
a way to import existing resources into Terraform state for many types
of resource. Initial coverage of AWS is quite high, and it is
straightforward to add support for new resources.
New Command: terraform state to provide access to a variety of state manipulation functions (#5811)
New Option: terraform output now supports the -json flag to print a machine-readable representation of outputs (#7608)
