- Windows - Display a warning if the module failed to cleanup any temporary files rather than failing the task. The warning contains a brief description of what failed to be deleted.
- Windows - Ensure the module temp directory contains more unique values to avoid conflicts with concurrent runs - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80294
- Windows - Improve temporary file cleanup used by modules. Will use a more reliable delete operation on Windows Server 2016 and newer to delete files that might still be open by other software like Anti Virus scanners. There are still scenarios where a file or directory cannot be deleted but the new method should work in more scenarios.
- ansible-doc - stop generating wrong module URLs for module see-alsos. The URLs for modules in ansible.builtin do now work, and URLs for modules outside ansible.builtin are no longer added (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80280).
- ansible-galaxy - Improve retries for collection installs, to properly retry, and extend retry logic to common URL related connection errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80170 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80174)
- ansible-galaxy - reduce API calls to servers by fetching signatures only for final candidates.
- ansible-test - Add support for ``argcomplete`` version 3.
- jinja2_native - fix intermittent 'could not find job' failures when a value of ``ansible_job_id`` from a result of an async task was inadvertently changed during execution; to prevent this a format of ``ansible_job_id`` was changed.
- password lookup now correctly reads stored ident fields.
- pep517 build backend - Use the documented ``import_module`` import from ``importlib``.
- roles - Fix templating ``public``, ``allow_duplicates`` and ``rolespec_validate`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80304).
- syntax check - Limit ``--syntax-check`` to ``ansible-playbook`` only, as that is the only CLI affected by this argument (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80506)
