chore(release): Release 0.8

0.8.0 (December 1, 2021)

Breaking Changes

Namespaced AWS Provider Resources #1248

We iterated on the namespacing for the AWS provider which got introduced in #1101. Our goal was, to enable custom L2 / L3 abstractions being built with jsii, improve the general jsii support for the namespacing and last but not least to allow both namespace and barrel imports in Typescript. A welcome side effect is a 5x performance gain when building packages via jsii for Python (from ~ 16 minutes to ~ 3 minutes) and likely other targets such as Java or C#

As a result, there are a few minor breaking changes:

• Namespaces are all lowercased now, without a separating character
• Namespaces are all a single word now (e.g. DynamoDb used to be dynamo_db in Python - it's now just dynamodb)
• CloudwatchEventBridge namespace got renamed to eventbridge

Typescript Example

Before

This was pretty much the only way to use the namespaced provider classes.

import { CloudFront } from "@cdktf/provider-aws";

new CloudFront.CloudfrontDistribution(this, "cloudfront", {});

After

Now it's possible to either import the entire namespace, or a resource class directly.

// Similar to before, but namespace is lowercased
import { cloudfront } from "@cdktf/provider-aws";

new cloudfront.CloudfrontDistribution(this, "cloudfront", {});

// new option
import { CloudfrontDistribution } from "@cdktf/provider-aws/lib/cloudfront";

new CloudfrontDistribution(this, "cloudfront", {});

See this Pull Request for more details.
