- Added documentation about using VMware dynamic inventory plugin.
- Fixed bug around populating host_ip in hostvars in vmware_vm_inventory.
- Image reference change in Azure VMSS is detected and applied correctly.
- docker_volume - reverted changed behavior of ``force``, which was released in Ansible 2.7.1 to 2.7.5, and Ansible 2.6.8 to 2.6.11. Volumes are now only recreated if the parameters changed **and**``force`` is set to ``true`` (instead of or). This is the behavior which has been described in the documentation all the time.
- set ansible_os_family from name variable in os-release
- yum and dnf can now handle installing packages from URIs that are proxy redirects and don't end in the .rpm file extension
Bugfixes
--------
- Added log message at -vvvv when using netconf connection listing connection details.
- Changes how ansible-connection names socket lock files. They now use the same name as the socket itself, and as such do not lock other attempts on connections to the same host, or cause issues with overly-long hostnames.
- Fix mandatory statement error for junos modules (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/50138)
- Moved error in netconf connection plugin from at import to on connection.
- This reverts some changes from commit 723daf3. If a line is found in the file, exactly or via regexp matching, it must not be added again. `insertafter`/`insertbefore` options are used only when a line is to be inserted, to specify where it must be added.
- allow using openstack inventory plugin w/o a cache
- callbacks - Do not filter out exception, warnings, deprecations on failure when using debug (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/47576)
- certificate_complete_chain - fix behavior when invalid file is parsed while reading intermediate or root certificates.
- copy - Ensure that the src file contents is converted to unicode in diff information so that it is properly wrapped by AnsibleUnsafeText to prevent unexpected templating of diff data in Python3 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/45717)

- docker_container - warning when non-string env values are found, avoiding YAML parsing issues. Will be made an error in Ansible 2.8. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/49802)
- docker_swarm_service - Document ``labels`` and ``container_labels`` with correct type.
- docker_swarm_service - Document ``limit_memory`` and ``reserve_memory`` correctly on how to specify sizes.
- docker_swarm_service - Document minimal API version for ``configs`` and ``secrets``.

- icinga2_host - fixed the issue with not working ``use_proxy`` option of the module.
