Change logs

Remove Cloud Foundry UAA token retrieval when logging in IBM Cloud

Given Cloud Foundry is only one of the services provided by IBM Cloud, the logging into CF to retrieve UAA tokens is removed from the IBM Cloud login process by default. The user needs to use target -o -s or target --cf command to set/select a cloud foundry instance to manage the Cloud Foundry resources.

-o and -s options in login command are deprecated but still kept to maintain the compatibility.

Support access group and assigning policies to access group

Access group allows to organize users and service IDs into a group and manage access by assigning policies to the group. This release adds the command line support for access group, including both the CRUD of access groups and management of IAM policies for the access group.

Support Linux for PPC64le

Starting from this release, Linux for PPC64le architecture is formally supported. This is only for IBM Cloud CLI and does not include the plug-ins. Go to IBM Cloud CLI plug-in repository to check the os and platforms supported by each plug-in.

Rebrand the command line from bluemix to ibmcloud

The name of IBM Cloud CLI is formally changed to ibmcloud starting from this release. The previous long name bluemix and short name bx are still supported and kept for a period of time until they are formally deprecated.

Support searching resource globally

This release added the capability to search cloud resources globally using Lucene query syntax with command resource search.
