Release Announcement: InfluxDB CLI 2.1.0

What's this blog post about?

InfluxDB CLI 2.1.0 has been released with new features, bug fixes, and breaking changes. The release includes a new repository for influx CLI from the influxdata/influx-cli GitHub repository, enabling independent iteration and issue fixing. Breaking changes include the removal of --skipHeader as shorthand for --skipHeader 1 in the write command, stricter input validation for template-related commands, server-side template summarization & validation, and consistent naming conventions for influx stacks --json output keys. New features added are global --http-debug flag to help inspect communication with InfluxDB servers, bucket-schema commands to manage explicit measurement schemas in InfluxDB Cloud, reimplemented backup and restore to support downloading the embedded SQL store from InfluxDB, a --compression flag to backup to support enabling/disabling GZIP compression of downloaded files, a --password flag to user password command to allow bypassing interactive prompt, and bound --skip-verify flag to INFLUX_SKIP_VERIFY environment variable. Bug fixes include fixing interactive password collection & color rendering in PowerShell when using Windows, the organization members list command no longer hangs when an organization has more than 10 members, added the ability to detect & warn when inputs to write contain standalone CR characters, and the dashboards command now accepts --org flag, or falls back to default organization in the config profile. The latest open source release can be found on InfluxData's downloads page.
