- ansiballz - Added an experimental AnsiballZ extension for remote debugging.
- ansiballz - Added support for AnsiballZ extensions.
- ansiballz - Moved AnsiballZ code coverage support into an extension.
- ansiballz - Refactored AnsiballZ and module respawn.
- template action and lookup plugin - The value of the ``ansible_managed`` variable (if set) will not be masked by the ``template`` action and lookup. Previously, the value calculated by the ``DEFAULT_MANAGED_STR`` configuration option always masked the variable value during plugin execution, preventing runtime customization.
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix templating ``tags`` on plays and roles. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69903)
- ansible-doc will no longer ignore docs for modules without an extension (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85279).
- display - Fix hang caused by early post-fork writers to stdout/stderr (e.g., pydevd) encountering an unreleased fork lock.
- get_url - add a check to recognize incomplete data transfers.
- include_tasks - fix templating options when used as a handler (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85015).
- templating - Fixed cases where template expression blocks halted prematurely when a Jinja macro invocation returned an undefined value.
- templating - Jinja macros returned from a template expression can now be called from another template expression.
v2.19.0b5
=========
@ -322,9 +351,7 @@ Deprecated Features
- plugin error handling - The ``AnsibleError`` constructor arg ``suppress_extended_error`` is deprecated. Using ``suppress_extended_error=True`` has the same effect as ``show_content=False``.
- template lookup - The jinja2_native option is no longer used in the Ansible Core code base. Jinja2 native mode is now the default and only option.
- templating - Support for enabling Jinja2 extensions (not plugins) has been deprecated.
- templating - The ``ansible_managed`` variable available for certain templating scenarios, such as the ``template`` action and ``template`` lookup has been deprecated. Define and use a custom variable instead of relying on ``ansible_managed``.
- templating - The ``disable_lookups`` option has no effect, since plugins must be updated to apply trust before any templating can be performed.
- to_yaml/to_nice_yaml filters - Implicit YAML dumping of vaulted value ciphertext is deprecated. Set `dump_vault_tags` to explicitly specify the desired behavior.
- tree callback - The ``tree`` callback and its associated ad-hoc CLI args (``-t``, ``--tree``) are deprecated.
