Bugfixes
--------
- Add RockyLinux to fact gathering (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74530).
- Improve resilience of ``ansible-galaxy collection`` by increasing the page size to make fewer requests overall and retrying queries with a jittered exponential backoff when rate limiting HTTP codes (520 and 429) occur. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74191)
- Prevent ``ansible_failed_task`` from further templating (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74036)
- Remove 'default' from ssh plugin as we want to rely on default from ssh itself or ssh/config.
- The error message about the failure to import a ``gpg`` key by the ``apt_key`` module was incorrect (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74423).
- ansible-test - Avoid publishing the port used by the ``pypi-test-container`` since it is only accessed by other containers. This avoids issues when trying to run tests in parallel on a single host.
- ansible-test - Fix docker container IP address detection. The ``bridge`` network is no longer assumed to be the default.
- ansible-test - Use documented API to retrieve build information from Azure Pipelines.
- ansible.builtin.cron - Keep non-empty crontabs, when removing cron jobs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74497).
- ansible.utils.encrypt now handles missing or unusable 'crypt' library.
- ansible_test - add constraint for ``MarkupSafe`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74666)
- apt_key - Binary GnuPG keys downloaded via URLs were corrupted so GnuPG could not import them (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74424).
- become - fix a regression on Solaris where chmod can return 5 which we interpret as auth failure and stop trying become tmpdir permission fallbacks
- become - work around setfacl not existing on modern Solaris (and possibly failing on some filesystems even when it does exist)
- callback default, now uses task delegate_to instead of delegate vars to display delegate to host
- callbacks, restores missing delegate_vars
- correct doc links for become on warnings over world readable settings.
- correctly use world readable setting since old constant is not 'settable' anymore.
- facts - detect homebrew installed at /opt/homebrew/bin/brew
- filter plugins - patch new versions of Jinja2 to prevent warnings/errors on renamed filter decorators (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74667)
- get_url - Fixed checksum validation for binary files (leading asterisk) in checksum files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74502).
- hostname - Add Rocky Linux support
- ini lookup - handle errors for duplicate keys and missing sections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74601)
- interpreter discovery - Debian 8 and lower will avoid unsupported Python3 version in interpreter discovery
- pause - ensure control characters are always set to an appropriate value (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73264)
- playbook loaded from collection subdir now does not ignore subdirs.
- plugin config now allows list type options to have multiple valid choices (#74225).
- replace - better handling of file operation exceptions (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74686).
- roles - allow for role arg specs in new meta file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74525).
- service - compare version without LooseVersion API (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74488).
