v3.9.1

Installation

To install sops, download one of the pre-built binaries provided for your platform from the artifacts attached to this release.

For instance, if you are using Linux on an AMD64 architecture:

# Download the binary
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.9.1/sops-v3.9.1.linux.amd64

# Move the binary in to your PATH
mv sops-v3.9.1.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/sops

# Make the binary executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sops

Verify checksums file signature

The checksums file provided within the artifacts attached to this release is signed using Cosign with GitHub OIDC. To validate the signature of this file, run the following commands:

# Download the checksums file, certificate and signature
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.9.1/sops-v3.9.1.checksums.txt
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.9.1/sops-v3.9.1.checksums.pem
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.9.1/sops-v3.9.1.checksums.sig

# Verify the checksums file
cosign verify-blob sops-v3.9.1.checksums.txt \
  --certificate sops-v3.9.1.checksums.pem \
  --signature sops-v3.9.1.checksums.sig \
  --certificate-identity-regexp=https://github.com/getsops \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com

Verify binary integrity

To verify the integrity of the downloaded binary, you can utilize the checksums file after having validated its signature:

# Verify the binary using the checksums file
sha256sum -c sops-v3.9.1.checksums.txt --ignore-missing

Verify artifact provenance

The SLSA provenance of the binaries, packages, and SBOMs can be found within the artifacts associated with this release. It is presented through an in-toto link metadata file named sops-v3.9.1.intoto.jsonl. To verify the provenance of an artifact, you can utilize the slsa-verifier tool:

# Download the metadata file
curl -LO  https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.9.1/sops-v3.9.1.intoto.jsonl

# Verify the provenance of the artifact
slsa-verifier verify-artifact <artifact> \
  --provenance-path sops-v3.9.1.intoto.jsonl \
  --source-uri github.com/getsops/sops \
  --source-tag v3.9.1

Container Images

The sops binaries are also available as container images, based on Debian (slim) and Alpine Linux. The Debian-based container images include any dependencies which may be required to make use of certain key services, such as GnuPG, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud KMS. The Alpine-based container images are smaller in size, but do not include these dependencies.

These container images are available for the following architectures: linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

v3.8.1

Note from the Maintainers

In this release of SOPS, we have focused on landing a variety of bug fixes to improve the overall user experience.

For a comprehensive list of changes, please refer to CHANGELOG.rst.

Important Information for SOPS SDK Users

With the project transitioning from the Mozilla Foundation to the CNCF, the Go module path has been updated to reflect this change in ownership. If you use go.mozilla.org/sops/v3 as a library, going forward, import the Go Module using github.com/getsops/sops/v3. Apart from this small adjustment, the SDK's API remains fully backward compatible.

Full Changelog: v3.8.0...v3.8.1

v3.8.0

Note from the Maintainers

We are extremely happy to introduce this new minor release of SOPS, now a CNCF Sandbox project under the stewardship of a new group of maintainers.

This release involved significant effort in rewriting and enhancing key source implementations, and includes a number of bug fixes which people had been patiently waiting on for a long period of time. In addition, the release process has been built up from scratch, and now now provides enhanced assurance by publishing SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials), SLSA3 provenance attestations and a Cosign signed checksums file as release artifacts.

For a comprehensive list of changes, please refer to CHANGELOG.rst.

Full Changelog: v3.8.0-rc.1...v3.8.0

v3.8.0-rc.1

Note from the Maintainers

We're thrilled to introduce the v3.8.0-rc.1 release candidate of SOPS, now a CNCF Sandbox project under the stewardship of a new group of maintainers.

This release involved significant effort in rewriting and enhancing key source implementations. Notably, we've modernized the code and updated all SDKs, including updating to AWS SDK v2. Some of these implementations had been neglected, lacking support for newer features. Now, they should be good for extended service.

Moreover, we've completely revamped the release process. Beyond delivering binaries and packages, it now provides enhanced assurance by publishing SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials), SLSA3 provenance attestation, and a Cosign signed checksums file as GitHub release artifacts.

Additionally, the Darwin binary is now distributed as a "fat binary", making it executable on both AMD64 and ARM64 machines.

The goal of this release candidate is primarily to validate our new release process and the quite impactful changes mentioned above. Take it for a spin and share your thoughts, your feedback is much appreciated!

Important Information for SOPS SDK Users

With the project transitioning from the Mozilla Foundation to the CNCF, the Go module path has been updated to reflect this change in ownership. If you use go.mozilla.org/sops/v3 as a library, going forward, import the Go Module using github.com/getsops/sops/v3. Apart from this small adjustment, the SDK's API remains fully backward compatible.

For a one-liner to quickly implement this change throughout your codebase, please refer to: #1246 (comment)

Installation

To install sops, download one of the pre-built binaries provided for your platform from the artifacts attached to this release.

For instance, if you are using Linux on an AMD64 architecture:

# Download the binary
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.8.0-rc.1/sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.linux.amd64

# Move the binary in to your PATH
mv sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/sops

# Make the binary executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sops

Verify checksums file signature

The checksums file provided within the artifacts attached to this release is signed using Cosign with GitHub OIDC. To validate the signature of this file, run the following commands:

# Download the checksums file, certificate and signature
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.8.0-rc.1/sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.checksums.txt
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.8.0-rc.1/sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.checksums.pem
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.8.0-rc.1/sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.checksums.sig

# Verify the checksums file
cosign verify-blob sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.checksums.txt \
  --certificate sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.checksums.pem \
  --signature sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.checksums.sig \
  --certificate-identity-regexp=https://github.com/getsops \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com

Verify binary integrity

To verify the integrity of the downloaded binary, you can utilize the checksums file after having validated its signature:

# Verify the binary using the checksums file
sha256sum -c sops-v3.8.0-rc.1.checksums.txt --ignore-missing

Verify artifact provenance

The SLSA provenance of the binaries, packages, and SBOMs can be found within the artifacts associated with this release. It is presented through an in-toto link metadata file named provenance.intoto.jsonl. To verify the provenance of an artifact, you can utilize the slsa-verifier tool:

# Download the metadata file
curl -LO  https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.8.0-rc.1/provenance.intoto.jsonl

# Verify the provenance of the artifact
slsa-verifier verify-artifact <artifact> \
  --provenance-path provenance.intoto.jsonl \
  --source-uri github.com/getsops/sops \
  --source-tag v3.8.0-rc.1

Container Images

The sops binaries are also available as container images, based on Debian (slim) and Alpine Linux. The Debian-based container images include any dependencies which may be required to make use of certain key services, such as GnuPG, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud KMS. The Alpine-based container images are smaller in size, but do not include these dependencies.

These container images are available for the following architectures: linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.
