Habitat 1.5.29 Released

[christophermaier_1]

We are happy to announce the release of Habitat 1.5.29

In this release we’d like to highlight some new hab origin invitations commands, which allow you to manage Builder invitations from the commandline, as well as initial work on configuring the Supervisor using a file, rather than only command-line arguments. This will help pave the way for more dynamic configuration of the Supervisor.

Be sure to read on for additional changes! If you just want the binaries, head on over to Install Habitat . Thanks!

Configuring the Supervisor from a file feels like a great direction to explore. I’ve toyed with the idea of leveraging .spec files for this so many times, then backed away as I felt they represented a “private interface”.
