- ansible-doc - provide ``has_action`` field in JSON output for modules. That information is currently only available in the text view (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72359).
- ansible-galaxy - find any collection dependencies in the globally configured Galaxy servers and not just the server the parent collection is from.
- ansible-test - Added a ``--export`` option to the ``ansible-test coverage combine`` command to facilitate multi-stage aggregation of coverage in CI pipelines.
- ansible-test - Added the ``-remote rhel/7.9`` option to run tests on RHEL 7.9
- ansible-test - CentOS 8 container is now 8.2.2004 (https://github.com/ansible/distro-test-containers/pull/45).
- ansible-test - Fix container hostname/IP discovery for the ``acme`` test plugin.
- ansible-test - OpenSuse container now uses Leap 15.2 (https://github.com/ansible/distro-test-containers/pull/48).
- ansible-test - Ubuntu containers as well as ``default-test-container`` and ``ansible-base-test-container`` are now slightly smaller due to apt cleanup (https://github.com/ansible/distro-test-containers/pull/46).
- ansible-test - ``default-test-container`` and ``ansible-base-test-container`` now use Python 3.9.0 instead of 3.9.0rc1.
- ansible-test - centos6 end of life - container image updated to point to vault base repository (https://github.com/ansible/distro-test-containers/pull/54)
- ansible-test validate-modules - no longer assume that ``default`` for ``type=bool`` options is ``false``, as the default is ``none`` and for some modules, ``none`` and ``false`` mean different things (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69561).
- iptables - reorder comment postition to be at the end (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71444).
Bugfixes
--------
- Adjust various hard-coded action names to also include their ``ansible.builtin.`` and ``ansible.legacy.`` prefixed version (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71817, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71818, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71824).
- AnsibleModule - added arg ``ignore_invalid_cwd`` to ``AnsibleModule.run_command()``, to control its behaviour when ``cwd`` is invalid. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72390)
- Fixed issue when `netstat` is either missing or doesn't have execution permissions leading to incorrect command being executed.
- Improve Ansible config deprecations to show the source of the deprecation (ansible-base). Also remove space before a comma in config deprecations (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72697).
- Skip invalid collection names when listing in ansible-doc instead of throwing exception. Issue#72257
- The ``docker`` and ``k8s`` action groups / module default groups now also support the moved modules in `community.docker <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/docker>`_, `community.kubevirt <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.kubevirt>`_, `community.okd <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/okd>`_, and `kubernetes.core <https://galaxy.ansible.com/kubernetes/core>`_ (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72428).
- account for bug in Python 2.6 that occurs during interpreter shutdown to avoid stack trace
- ansible-test - Correctly detect changes in a GitHub pull request when running on Azure Pipelines.
- ansible-test - Skip installing requirements if they are already installed.
- ansible-test - add constraint for ``cffi`` to prevent failure on systems with older versions of ``gcc`` (https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/cffi/-/issues/480)
- ansible-test - convert target paths to unicode on Python 2 to avoid ``UnicodeDecodeError`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/68398, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72623).
- ansible-test - improve classification of changes to ``.gitignore``, ``COPYING``, ``LICENSE``, ``Makefile``, and all files ending with one of ``.in`, ``.md`, ``.rst``, ``.toml``, ``.txt`` in the collection root directory (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72353).
- ansible-test validate-modules - when a module uses ``add_file_common_args=True`` and does not use a keyword argument for ``argument_spec`` in ``AnsibleModule()``, the common file arguments were not considered added during validation (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72334).
- basic.AnsibleModule - AnsibleModule.run_command silently ignores a non-existent directory in the ``cwd`` argument (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72390).
- blockinfile - properly insert a block at the end of a file that does not have a trailing newline character (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72055)
- dnf - fix filtering to avoid dependncy conflicts (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72316)
- ensure 'local' connection always has the correct default user for actions to consume.
- pause - Fix indefinite hang when using a pause task on a background process (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/32142)
- remove redundant remote_user setting in play_context for local as plugin already does it, also removes fork/thread issue from use of pwd library.
- set_mode_if_different - handle symlink if it is inside a directory with sticky bit set (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45198)
- systemd - account for templated unit files using ``@`` when searching for the unit file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/72347#issuecomment-730626228)
- systemd - follow up fix to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72338 to use ``list-unit-files`` rather than ``list-units`` in order to show all units files on the system.
- systemd - work around bug with ``systemd`` 245 and 5.8 kernel that does not correctly report service state (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71528)
