- ansible-test - Add a ``--docker-network`` option to choose the network for running containers when using the ``--docker`` option.
- ansible-test - Collections can now specify pip constraints for unit and integration test requirements using ``tests/unit/constraints.txt`` and ``tests/integration/constraints.txt`` respectively.
- ansible-test - python-cryptography is now bounded at <3.2, as 3.2 drops support for OpenSSL 1.0.2 upon which some of our CI infrastructure still depends.
- dnf - now shows specific package changes (installations/removals) under ``results`` in check_mode. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/66132)
Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------
- ansible-galaxy login command has been removed (see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71560)
Bugfixes
--------
- Collection callbacks were ignoring options and rules for stdout and adhoc cases.
- Collections - Ensure ``action_loader.get`` is called with ``collection_list`` to properly find collections when ``collections:`` search is specified (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72170)
- Fix ``RecursionError`` when templating large vars structures (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71920)
- ansible-doc - plugin option deprecations now also get ``collection_name`` added (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71735).
- ansible-test - Always connect additional Docker containers to the network used by the current container (if any).
- ansible-test - Always map ``/var/run/docker.sock`` into test containers created by the ``--docker`` option if the docker host is not ``localhost``.
- ansible-test - Attempt to detect the Docker hostname instead of assuming ``localhost``.
- ansible-test - Correctly detect running in a Docker container on Azure Pipelines.
- ansible-test - Prefer container IP at ``.NetworkSettings.Networks.{NetworkName}.IPAddress`` over ``.NetworkSettings.IPAddress``.
- ansible-test - The ``cs`` and ``openshift`` test plugins now search for containers on the current network instead of assuming the ``bridge`` network.
- ansible-test - Using the ``--remote`` option on Azure Pipelines now works from a job running in a container.
- async_wrapper - Fix race condition when ``~/.ansible_async`` folder tries to be created by multiple async tasks at the same time - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/59306
- dnf - it is now possible to specify both ``security: true`` and ``bugfix: true`` to install updates of both types. Previously, only security would get installed if both were true. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70854)
- facts - fix distribution fact for SLES4SAP (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71559).
- is_string/vault - Ensure the is_string helper properly identifies AnsibleVaultEncryptedUnicode as a string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71609)
- powershell - remove getting the PowerShell version from the env var ``POWERSHELL_VERSION``. This feature never worked properly and can cause conflicts with other libraries that use this var
- url lookup - make sure that options supplied in ansible.cfg are actually used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71736).
- user - AnsibleModule.run_command returns a tuple of return code, stdout and stderr. The module main function of the user module expects user.create_user to return a tuple of return code, stdout and stderr. Fix the locations where stdout and stderr got reversed.
- user - Local users with an expiry date cannot be created as the ``luseradd`` / ``lusermod`` commands do not support the ``-e`` option. Set the expiry time in this case via ``lchage`` after the user was created / modified. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71942)
