Ansible 2.10 Porting Guide
==========================
.. warning::
Ansible Porting Guides are maintained in the ``devel`` branch only. Please go to `the devel Ansible 2.10 Porting guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.10.html>`_ for up to date information.
In Ansible 2.10, many plugins and modules have migrated to Collections on `Ansible Galaxy <https://galaxy.ansible.com>`_. Your playbooks should continue to work without any changes. We recommend you start using the fully-qualified collection name (FQCN) in your playbooks as the explicit and authoritative indicator of which collection to use as some collections may contain duplicate module names. You can search the `index of all modules <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/collections/index_module.html>`_ to find the collection a module has been relocated to.
.. note::
This section discusses the behavioral changes between Ansible 2.9 and Ansible 2.10.
It is intended to assist in updating your playbooks, plugins and other parts of your Ansible infrastructure so they will work with this version of Ansible.
We suggest you read this page along with the `Ansible Changelog for 2.10 <https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/2.10/CHANGELOG-v2.10.rst>`_ to understand what updates you may need to make.
Since 2.10, Ansible consists of two parts:
* ansible-base, which includes the command line tools with a small selection of plugins and modules, and
* a `set of collections <https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/2.10/ansible.in>`_.
The :ref:`porting_2.10_guide_base` is included in this porting guide. The complete list of porting guides can be found at :ref:`porting guides <porting_guides>`.
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 2
Playbook
========
* Fixed a bug on boolean keywords that made random strings return 'False', now they should return an error if they are not a proper boolean
Example: ``diff: yes-`` was returning ``False``.
* A new fact, ``ansible_processor_nproc`` reflects the number of vcpus
available to processes (falls back to the number of vcpus available to
the scheduler).
Command Line
============
* The ``ansible-galaxy login`` command has been removed, as the underlying API it used for GitHub auth is being shut down. Publishing roles or
collections to Galaxy via ``ansible-galaxy`` now requires that a Galaxy API token be passed to the CLI via a token file (default location
``~/.ansible/galaxy_token``) or (insecurely) via the ``--token`` argument to ``ansible-galaxy``.
Deprecated
==========
* Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 will no longer be supported or tested in the next Ansible release, see :ref:`windows_faq_server2008`.
Modules
=======
.. warning::
Links on this page may not point to the most recent versions of modules. We will update them when we can.
* Version 2.10.0 of ansible-base changed the default mode of file-based tasks to ``0o600 & ~umask`` when the user did not specify a ``mode`` parameter on file-based tasks. This was in response to a CVE report which we have reconsidered. As a result, the mode change has been reverted in 2.10.1, and mode will now default to ``0o666 & ~umask`` as in previous versions of Ansible.
* If you changed any tasks to specify less restrictive permissions while using 2.10.0, those changes will be unnecessary (but will do no harm) in 2.10.1.
* To avoid the issue raised in CVE-2020-1736, specify a ``mode`` parameter in all file-based tasks that accept it.
* ``dnf`` and ``yum`` - As of version 2.10.1, the ``dnf`` module (and ``yum`` action when it uses ``dnf``) now correctly validates GPG signatures of packages (CVE-2020-14365). If you see an error such as ``Failed to validate GPG signature for [package name]``, please ensure that you have imported the correct GPG key for the DNF repository and/or package you are using. One way to do this is with the ``rpm_key`` module. Although we discourage it, in some cases it may be necessary to disable the GPG check. This can be done by explicitly adding ``disable_gpg_check: yes`` in your ``dnf`` or ``yum`` task.
Noteworthy module changes
-------------------------
* Ansible modules created with ``add_file_common_args=True`` added a number of undocumented arguments which were mostly there to ease implementing certain action plugins. The undocumented arguments ``src``, ``follow``, ``force``, ``content``, ``backup``, ``remote_src``, ``regexp``, ``delimiter``, and ``directory_mode`` are now no longer added. Modules relying on these options to be added need to specify them by themselves.
* Ansible no longer looks for Python modules in the current working directory (typically the ``remote_user``'s home directory) when an Ansible module is run. This is to fix becoming an unprivileged user on OpenBSD and to mitigate any attack vector if the current working directory is writable by a malicious user. Install any Python modules needed to run the Ansible modules on the managed node in a system-wide location or in another directory which is in the ``remote_user``'s ``$PYTHONPATH`` and readable by the ``become_user``.
Plugins
=======
Lookup plugin names case-sensitivity
------------------------------------
* Prior to Ansible ``2.10`` lookup plugin names passed in as an argument to the ``lookup()`` function were treated as case-insensitive as opposed to lookups invoked via ``with_<lookup_name>``. ``2.10`` brings consistency to ``lookup()`` and ``with_`` to be both case-sensitive.
Noteworthy plugin changes
-------------------------
* Cache plugins in collections can be used to cache data from inventory plugins. Previously, cache plugins in collections could only be used for fact caching.
* Some undocumented arguments from ``FILE_COMMON_ARGUMENTS`` have been removed; plugins using these, in particular action plugins, need to be adjusted. The undocumented arguments which were removed are ``src``, ``follow``, ``force``, ``content``, ``backup``, ``remote_src``, ``regexp``, ``delimiter``, and ``directory_mode``.
Action plugins which execute modules should use fully-qualified module names
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Action plugins that call modules should pass explicit, fully-qualified module names to ``_execute_module()`` whenever possible (eg, ``ansible.builtin.file`` rather than ``file``). This ensures that the task's collection search order is not consulted to resolve the module. Otherwise, a module from a collection earlier in the search path could be used when not intended.

No notable changes
Porting Guide for v2.10.7
=========================
Breaking Changes
----------------
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- utm_proxy_auth_profile - the ``frontend_cookie_secret`` return value now contains a placeholder string instead of the module's ``frontend_cookie_secret`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1736).
Major Changes
-------------
- Restricting the version of the community.okd collection to 1.0.0. The previously included version, 1.0.1, had a dependency on kubernetes.core and thus required the installation of an additional collection that was not included in Ansible 2.10. Version 1.0.0 is essentially identical to 1.0.1, except that it uses community.kubernetes, wihch is included in Ansible 2.10.
ovirt.ovirt
~~~~~~~~~~~
- ovirt_system_option_info - Add new module (https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-collection/pull/206).
servicenow.servicenow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- add new tests (find with no result, search many)
- add related tests
- add support for ServiceNOW table api display_value exclude_reference_link and suppress_pagination_header
- use new API for pysnow >=0.6.0
Deprecated Features
-------------------
cisco.nxos
~~~~~~~~~~
- Deprecated `nxos_bgp` and `nxos_bgp_neighbor` modules in favor of `nxos_bgp_global` resource module.
community.vmware
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- vmware_host_firewall_manager - the creation of new rule with no ``allowed_ip`` entry in the ``allowed_hosts`` dictionary won't be allowed after 2.0.0 release.
Porting Guide for v2.10.6
=========================
Major Changes
-------------
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For community.general 2.0.0, the kubevirt modules will be moved to the `community.kubevirt <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/kubevirt>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use kubevirt modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.kubevirt.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
for example replace ``community.general.kubevirt_vm`` in a task by ``community.kubevirt.kubevirt_vm``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the kubevirt modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.kubevirt`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.general.kubevirt_vm`` instead of ``kubevirt_vm``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
community.network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For community.network 2.0.0, the Cisco NSO modules will be moved to the `cisco.nso <https://galaxy.ansible.com/cisco/nso>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use Cisco NSO modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``cisco.nso.`` instead of ``community.network.``,
for example replace ``community.network.nso_config`` in a task by ``cisco.nso.nso_config``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.network`` manually and rely on the Cisco NSO modules, you have to make sure to install the ``cisco.nso`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.network.nso_config`` instead of ``nso_config``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
- For community.network 2.0.0, the FortiOS modules will be moved to the `community.fortios <https://galaxy.ansible.com/ansible-collections/community.fortios>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use FortiOS modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.fortios.`` instead of ``community.network.``,
for example replace ``community.network.fmgr_device`` in a task by ``community.fortios.fmgr_device``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.network`` manually and rely on the FortiOS modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.fortios`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.network.fmgr_device`` instead of ``fmgr_device``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
f5networks.f5_modules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added async_timeout parameter to bigip_ucs_fetch module to allow customization of module wait for async interface
- Changed bigip_ucs_fetch module to use asynchronous interface when generating UCS files

----------------
community.hashi_vault
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- hashi_vault - the ``VAULT_ADDR`` environment variable is now checked last for the ``url`` parameter. For details on which use cases are impacted, see (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/8).
Major Changes
-------------
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For community.general 2.0.0, the Google modules will be moved to the `community.google <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/google>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use Google modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.google.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
for example replace ``community.general.gcpubsub`` in a task by ``community.google.gcpubsub``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the Google modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.google`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.general.gcpubsub`` instead of ``gcpubsub``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
- For community.general 2.0.0, the OC connection plugin will be moved to the `community.okd <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/okd>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use OC connection plugin from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs ``community.okd.oc`` instead of ``community.general.oc``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the OC connection plugin, you have to make sure to install the ``community.okd`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, in other words ``community.general.oc`` instead of ``oc``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust this FQCN as well.
- For community.general 2.0.0, the hashi_vault lookup plugin will be moved to the `community.hashi_vault <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/hashi_vault>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use hashi_vault lookup plugin from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs ``community.hashi_vault.hashi_vault`` instead of ``community.general.hashi_vault``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the hashi_vault lookup plugin, you have to make sure to install the ``community.hashi_vault`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, in other words ``community.general.hashi_vault`` instead of ``hashi_vault``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust this FQCN as well.
netbox.netbox
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- nb_inventory - Add ``dns_name`` option that adds ``dns_name`` to the host when ``True`` and device has a primary IP address. (#394)
- nb_inventory - Add ``status`` as a ``group_by`` option. (398)
- nb_inventory - Move around ``extracted_primary_ip`` to allow for ``config_context`` or ``custom_field`` to overwite. (#377)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ec2_vpc_igw_info - After 2022-06-22 the ``convert_tags`` parameter default value will change from ``False`` to ``True`` to match the collection standard behavior (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/318).
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- docker_container - currently ``published_ports`` can contain port mappings next to the special value ``all``, in which case the port mappings are ignored. This behavior is deprecated for community.docker 2.0.0, at which point it will either be forbidden, or this behavior will be properly implemented similar to how the Docker CLI tool handles this (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/8, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/60).
community.hashi_vault
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- hashi_vault - ``VAULT_ADDR`` environment variable for option ``url`` will have its precedence lowered in 1.0.0; use ``ANSIBLE_HASHI_VAULT_ADDR`` to intentionally override a config value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/8).
- hashi_vault - ``VAULT_AUTH_METHOD`` environment variable for option ``auth_method`` will be removed in 2.0.0, use ``ANSIBLE_HASHI_VAULT_AUTH_METHOD`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/17).
- hashi_vault - ``VAULT_ROLE_ID`` environment variable for option ``role_id`` will be removed in 2.0.0, use ``ANSIBLE_HASHI_VAULT_ROLE_ID`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/20).
- hashi_vault - ``VAULT_SECRET_ID`` environment variable for option ``secret_id`` will be removed in 2.0.0, use ``ANSIBLE_HASHI_VAULT_SECRET_ID`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/20).
- hashi_vault - ``VAULT_TOKEN_FILE`` environment variable for option ``token_file`` will be removed in 2.0.0, use ``ANSIBLE_HASHI_VAULT_TOKEN_FILE`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/15).
- hashi_vault - ``VAULT_TOKEN_PATH`` environment variable for option ``token_path`` will be removed in 2.0.0, use ``ANSIBLE_HASHI_VAULT_TOKEN_PATH`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/15).
Porting Guide for v2.10.4
=========================
Breaking Changes
----------------
community.hrobot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- firewall - now requires the `ipaddress <https://pypi.org/project/ipaddress/>`_ library (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/2).
Major Changes
-------------
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For community.general 2.0.0, the Hetzner Robot modules will be moved to the `community.hrobot <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/hrobot>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use Hetzner Robot modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.hrobot.`` instead of ``community.general.hetzner_``,
for example replace ``community.general.hetzner_firewall_info`` in a task by ``community.hrobot.firewall_info``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the Hetzner Robot modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.hrobot`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.hetzner_failover_ip`` instead of ``hetzner_failover_ip``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
- For community.general 2.0.0, the ``docker`` modules and plugins will be moved to the `community.docker <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/docker>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use ``docker`` content from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.docker.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
for example replace ``community.general.docker_container`` in a task by ``community.docker.docker_container``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the ``docker`` content, you have to make sure to install the ``community.docker`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.docker_container`` instead of ``docker_container``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
- For community.general 2.0.0, the ``postgresql`` modules and plugins will be moved to the `community.postgresql <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/postgresql>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use ``postgresql`` content from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.postgresql.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
for example replace ``community.general.postgresql_info`` in a task by ``community.postgresql.postgresql_info``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the ``postgresql`` content, you have to make sure to install the ``community.postgresql`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.postgresql_info`` instead of ``postgresql_info``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.posix collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1157).
community.network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For community.network 2.0.0, the ``routeros`` modules and plugins will be moved to the `community.routeros <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/routeros>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use ``routeros`` content from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.routeros.`` instead of ``community.network.routeros_``,
for example replace ``community.network.routeros_api`` in a task by ``community.routeros.api``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.network`` manually and rely on the ``routeros`` content, you have to make sure to install the ``community.routeros`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.network.routeros_command`` instead of ``routeros_command``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
- In community.network 2.0.0, the ``fortimanager`` httpapi plugin will be removed and replaced by a redirect to the corresponding plugin in the fortios.fortimanager collection. For Ansible 2.10 and ansible-base 2.10 users, this means that it will continue to work assuming that collection is installed. For Ansible 2.9 users, this means that they have to adjust the FQCN from ``community.network.fortimanager`` to ``fortios.fortimanager.fortimanager`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/151).
community.okd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add custom k8s module, integrate better Molecule tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.okd/pull/7).

-------------------
cisco.nxos
~~~~~~~~~~

- The `nxos_ospf_vrf` module is deprecated by `nxos_ospfv2` and `nxos_ospfv3` Resource Modules.
Porting Guide for v2.10.0
=========================
Known Issues
------------
- Due to a limitation in pip, you cannot ``pip install --upgrade`` from ansible-2.9 or earlier to ansible-2.10 or higher. Instead, you must explicitly use ``pip uninstall ansible`` before pip installing the new version. If you attempt to upgrade Ansible with pip without first uninstalling, the installer warns you to uninstall first.
- The individual collections that make up the ansible-2.10.0 package can be viewed independently. However, they are not currently listed by ansible-galaxy. To view these collections with ansible-galaxy, explicitly specify where ansible has installed the collections -- ``COLLECTION_INSTALL=$(python -c 'import ansible, os.path ; print("%s/../ansible_collections" % os.path.dirname(ansible.__file__))') ansible-galaxy collection list -p "$COLLECTION_INSTALL"``.
- These fortios modules are not automatically redirected from their 2.9.x names to the new 2.10.x names within collections. You must modify your playbooks to use fully qualified collection names for them. You can use the documentation (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/collections/fortinet/fortios/) for the ``fortinet.fortios`` collection to determine what the fully qualified collection names are.

community.grafana
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- grafana_datasource doesn't set password correctly (#113)
Breaking Changes
----------------
- cisco.nxos.nxos_igmp_interface - no longer supports the deprecated ``oif_prefix`` and ``oif_source`` options. These have been superceeded by ``oif_ps``.
- community.grafana.grafana_dashboard - the parameter ``message`` is renamed to ``commit_message`` since ``message`` is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
- purestorage.flashblade.purefb_fs - no longer supports the deprecated ``nfs`` option. This has been superceeded by ``nfsv3``.
amazon.aws
~~~~~~~~~~
- aws_s3 - can now delete versioned buckets even when they are not empty - set mode to delete to delete a versioned bucket and everything in it.
ansible.windows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- setup - Make sure ``ansible_date_time.epoch`` is seconds since EPOCH in UTC to mirror the POSIX facts. The ``ansible_date_time.epoch_local`` contains seconds since EPOCH in the local timezone for backwards compatibility
- setup - Will now add the IPv6 scope on link local addresses for ``ansible_ip_addresses``
- setup - ``ansible_processor`` will now return the index before the other values to match the POSIX fact behaviour
- win_find - No longer filters by size on directories, this feature had a lot of bugs, slowed down the module, and not a supported scenario with the ``find`` module.
- win_find - module has been refactored to better match the behaviour of the ``find`` module. Here is what has changed:
* When the directory specified by ``paths`` does not exist or is a file, it will no longer fail and will just warn the user
* Junction points are no longer reported as ``islnk``, use ``isjunction`` to properly report these files. This behaviour matches the win_stat module
* Directories no longer return a ``size``, this matches the ``stat`` and ``find`` behaviour and has been removed due to the difficulties in correctly reporting the size of a directory
- win_user - Change idempotency checks for ``description`` to be case sensitive
- win_user - Change idempotency checks for ``fullname`` to be case sensitive
cisco.meraki
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- meraki_device - Changed tags from string to list
- meraki_device - Removed serial_lldp_cdp parameter
- meraki_device - Removed serial_uplink parameter
- meraki_intrusion_prevention - Rename whitedlisted_rules to allowed_rules
- meraki_mx_l3_firewall - Rule responses are now in a `rules` list

- meraki_network - `disable_my_meraki_com` response is now `local_status_page_enabled`
- meraki_network - `disable_my_meraki` has been deprecated
- meraki_network - `enable_my_meraki` is now called `local_status_page_enabled`
- meraki_network - `enable_remote_status_page` is now called `remote_status_page_enabled`
- meraki_network - `enabled` response for VLAN status is now `vlans_enabled`
- meraki_network - `tags` and `type` now return a list
- meraki_snmp - peer_ips is now a list
- meraki_switchport - `access_policy_number` is now an int and not a string
- meraki_switchport - `tags` is now a list and not a string
- meraki_webhook - Querying test status now uses state of query.
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The environment variable for the auth context for the oc.py connection plugin has been corrected (K8S_CONTEXT). It was using an initial lowercase k by mistake. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/377).
- bigpanda - the parameter ``message`` was renamed to ``deployment_message`` since ``message`` is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
- cisco_spark - the module option ``message`` was renamed to ``msg``, as ``message`` is used internally in Ansible Core engine (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39295)
- datadog - the parameter ``message`` was renamed to ``notification_message`` since ``message`` is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
- docker_container - no longer passes information on non-anonymous volumes or binds as ``Volumes`` to the Docker daemon. This increases compatibility with the ``docker`` CLI program. Note that if you specify ``volumes: strict`` in ``comparisons``, this could cause existing containers created with docker_container from Ansible 2.9 or earlier to restart.
- docker_container - support for port ranges was adjusted to be more compatible to the ``docker`` command line utility: a one-port container range combined with a multiple-port host range will no longer result in only the first host port be used, but the whole range being passed to Docker so that a free port in that range will be used.
- hashi_vault lookup - now returns the latest version when using the KV v2 secrets engine. Previously, it returned all versions of the secret which required additional steps to extract and filter the desired version.
- log_plays callback - add missing information to the logs generated by the callback plugin. This changes the log message format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: absent`` will no longer remove every installed package from the system. It is now a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: latest`` or ``state: present`` will no longer install every package from the configured package repositories. Instead, ``name: *, state: latest`` will upgrade all already-installed packages, and ``name: *, state: present`` is a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
community.network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- routeros_facts - allow multiple addresses and neighbors per interface. This makes ``ansible_net_neighbors`` a list instead of a dict (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/6).
community.vmware
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- vmware_datastore_maintenancemode - now returns ``datastore_status`` instead of Ansible internal key ``results``.
- vmware_guest_custom_attributes - does not require VM name which was a required parameter for releases prior to Ansible 2.10.
- vmware_guest_find - the ``datacenter`` option has been removed.
- vmware_host_kernel_manager - now returns ``host_kernel_status`` instead of Ansible internal key ``results``.
- vmware_host_ntp - now returns ``host_ntp_status`` instead of Ansible internal key ``results``.
- vmware_host_service_manager - now returns ``host_service_status`` instead of Ansible internal key ``results``.
- vmware_tag - now returns ``tag_status`` instead of Ansible internal key ``results``.
- vmware_vmkernel - the options ``ip_address`` and ``subnet_mask`` have been removed; use the suboptions ``ip_address`` and ``subnet_mask`` of the ``network`` option instead.
community.windows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- win_pester - no longer runs all ``*.ps1`` file in the directory specified due to it executing potentially unknown scripts. It will follow the default behaviour of only running tests for files that are like ``*.tests.ps1`` which is built into Pester itself.
community.zabbix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- zabbix_javagateway - options ``javagateway_pidfile``, ``javagateway_listenip``, ``javagateway_listenport`` and ``javagateway_startpollers`` renamed to ``zabbix_javagateway_xyz`` (see `UPGRADE.md <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.zabbix/blob/main/docs/UPGRADE.md>`_).
netbox.netbox
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Change ``ip-addresses`` key in netbox inventory plugin to ``ip_addresses`` (https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules/issues/139)
- Changed ``group`` to ``tenant_group`` in ``netbox_tenant.py`` (https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules/issues/9)
- Changed ``role`` to ``prefix_role`` in ``netbox_prefix.py`` (https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules/issues/9)
- Module failures when required fields arent provided (https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules/issues/24)
- Renamed ``netbox_interface`` to ``netbox_device_interface`` (https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules/issues/9)
- This version has a few breaking changes due to new namespace and collection name. I felt it necessary to change the name of the lookup plugin and inventory plugin just not to have a non descriptive namespace call to use them. Below is an example:
``netbox.netbox.netbox`` would be used for both inventory plugin and lookup plugin, but in different contexts so no collision will arise, but confusion will.
I renamed the lookup plugin to ``nb_lookup`` so it will be used with the FQCN ``netbox.netbox.nb_lookup``.
The inventory plugin will now be called within an inventory file by ``netbox.netbox.nb_inventory``
- To pass in integers via Ansible Jinja filters for a key in ``data`` that
requires querying an endpoint is now done by making it a dictionary with
an ``id`` key. The previous behavior was to just pass in an integer and
it was converted when normalizing the data, but some people may have names
that are all integers and those were being converted erroneously so we made
the decision to change the method to convert to an integer for the NetBox
API.

- ``pynetbox`` changed to using ``requests.Session()`` to manage the HTTP session
which broke passing in ``ssl_verify`` when building the NetBox API client.
This PR makes ``pynetbox 5.0.4+`` the new required version of `pynetbox` for
the Ansible modules and lookup plugin. (https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules/pull/269)
theforeman.foreman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- All modules were renamed to drop the ``foreman_`` and ``katello_`` prefixes.
Additionally to the prefix removal, the following modules were further ranamed:
* katello_upload to content_upload
* katello_sync to repository_sync
* katello_manifest to subscription_manifest
* foreman_search_facts to resource_info
* foreman_ptable to partition_table
* foreman_model to hardware_model
* foreman_environment to puppet_environment
Major Changes
-------------
Ansible-base
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Both ansible-doc and ansible-console's help command will error for modules and plugins whose return documentation cannot be parsed as YAML. All modules and plugins passing ``ansible-test sanity --test yamllint`` will not be affected by this.
- Collections may declare a list of supported/tested Ansible versions for the collection. A warning is issued if a collection does not support the Ansible version that loads it (can also be configured as silent or a fatal error). Collections that do not declare supported Ansible versions do not issue a warning/error.
- Plugin routing allows collections to declare deprecation, redirection targets, and removals for all plugin types.
- Plugins that import module_utils and other ansible namespaces that have moved to collections should continue to work unmodified.
- Routing data built into Ansible 2.10 ensures that 2.9 content should work unmodified on 2.10. Formerly included modules and plugins that were moved to collections are still accessible by their original unqualified names, so long as their destination collections are installed.
- When deprecations are done in code, they to specify a ``collection_name`` so that deprecation warnings can mention which collection - or ansible-base - is deprecating a feature. This affects all ``Display.deprecated()`` or ``AnsibleModule.deprecate()`` or ``Ansible.Basic.Deprecate()`` calls, and ``removed_in_version``/``removed_at_date`` or ``deprecated_aliases`` in module argument specs.
- ansible-test now uses a different ``default`` test container for Ansible Collections
amazon.aws
~~~~~~~~~~
- ec2 module_utils - The ``AWSRetry`` decorator no longer catches ``NotFound`` exceptions by default. ``NotFound`` exceptions need to be explicitly added using ``catch_extra_error_codes``. Some AWS modules may see an increase in transient failures due to AWS''s eventual consistency model.
ansible.netcommon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add libssh connection plugin and refactor network_cli (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon/pull/30)
ansible.posix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- meraki_mr_rf_profile - Configure wireless RF profiles.
- meraki_mr_settings - Configure network settings for wireless.
- meraki_ms_l3_interface - New module
- meraki_ms_ospf - Configure OSPF.
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- docker_container - the ``network_mode`` option will be set by default to the name of the first network in ``networks`` if at least one network is given and ``networks_cli_compatible`` is ``true`` (will be default from community.general 2.0.0 on). Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings if you specify networks and set ``networks_cli_compatible`` to ``true``. The current default (not specifying it) is equivalent to the value ``default``.
- docker_container - the module has a new option, ``container_default_behavior``, whose default value will change from ``compatibility`` to ``no_defaults``. Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings.
- gitlab_user - no longer requires ``name``, ``email`` and ``password`` arguments when ``state=absent``.

Ansible 2.9 Porting Guide
*************************
This section discusses the behavioral changes between Ansible 2.8 and Ansible 2.9.
Ansible Porting Guides are maintained in the ``devel`` branch only. Please go to `the devel Ansible 2.9 Porting guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.9.html>`_ for up to date information.
It is intended to assist in updating your playbooks, plugins and other parts of your Ansible infrastructure so they will work with this version of Ansible.
.. note::
We suggest you read this page along with `Ansible Changelog for 2.9 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.9/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.9.rst>`_ to understand what updates you may need to make.
This document is part of a collection on porting. The complete list of porting guides can be found at :ref:`porting guides <porting_guides>`.
.. contents:: Topics
Playbook
========
Inventory
---------
* ``hash_behaviour`` now affects inventory sources. If you have it set to ``merge``, the data you get from inventory might change and you will have to update playbooks accordingly. If you're using the default setting (``overwrite``), you will see no changes. Inventory was ignoring this setting.
Loops
-----
Ansible 2.9 handles "unsafe" data more robustly, ensuring that data marked "unsafe" is not templated. In previous versions, Ansible recursively marked all data returned by the direct use of ``lookup()`` as "unsafe", but only marked structured data returned by indirect lookups using ``with_X`` style loops as "unsafe" if the returned elements were strings. Ansible 2.9 treats these two approaches consistently.
As a result, if you use ``with_dict`` to return keys with templatable values, your templates may no longer work as expected in Ansible 2.9.
To allow the old behavior, switch from using ``with_X`` to using ``loop`` with a filter as described at :ref:`migrating_to_loop`.
Command Line
============
* The location of the Galaxy token file has changed from ``~/.ansible_galaxy`` to ``~/.ansible/galaxy_token``. You can configure both path and file name with the :ref:`galaxy_token_path` config.
Deprecated
==========
No notable changes
Collection loader changes
=========================
The way to import a PowerShell or C# module util from a collection has changed in the Ansible 2.9 release. In Ansible
2.8 a util was imported with the following syntax:
.. code-block:: powershell
#AnsibleRequires -CSharpUtil AnsibleCollections.namespace_name.collection_name.util_filename
#AnsibleRequires -PowerShell AnsibleCollections.namespace_name.collection_name.util_filename
In Ansible 2.9 this was changed to:
.. code-block:: powershell
#AnsibleRequires -CSharpUtil ansible_collections.namespace_name.collection_name.plugins.module_utils.util_filename
#AnsibleRequires -PowerShell ansible_collections.namespace_name.collection_name.plugins.module_utils.util_filename
The change in the collection import name also requires any C# util namespaces to be updated with the newer name
format. This is more verbose but is designed to make sure we avoid plugin name conflicts across separate plugin types
and to standardise how imports work in PowerShell with how Python modules work.
Modules
=======
* The ``win_get_url`` and ``win_uri`` module now sends requests with a default ``User-Agent`` of ``ansible-httpget``. This can be changed by using the ``http_agent`` key.
* The ``apt`` module now honors ``update_cache=false`` while installing its own dependency and skips the cache update. Explicitly setting ``update_cache=true`` or omitting the param ``update_cache`` will result in a cache update while installing its own dependency.
* Version 2.9.12 of Ansible changed the default mode of file-based tasks to ``0o600 & ~umask`` when the user did not specify a ``mode`` parameter on file-based tasks. This was in response to a CVE report which we have reconsidered. As a result, the mode change has been reverted in 2.9.13, and mode will now default to ``0o666 & ~umask`` as in previous versions of Ansible.
* If you changed any tasks to specify less restrictive permissions while using 2.9.12, those changes will be unnecessary (but will do no harm) in 2.9.13.
* To avoid the issue raised in CVE-2020-1736, specify a ``mode`` parameter in all file-based tasks that accept it.
* ``dnf`` and ``yum`` - As of version 2.9.13, the ``dnf`` module (and ``yum`` action when it uses ``dnf``) now correctly validates GPG signatures of packages (CVE-2020-14365). If you see an error such as ``Failed to validate GPG signature for [package name]``, please ensure that you have imported the correct GPG key for the DNF repository and/or package you are using. One way to do this is with the ``rpm_key`` module. Although we discourage it, in some cases it may be necessary to disable the GPG check. This can be done by explicitly adding ``disable_gpg_check: yes`` in your ``dnf`` or ``yum`` task.
Renaming from ``_facts`` to ``_info``
--------------------------------------
Ansible 2.9 renamed a lot of modules from ``<something>_facts`` to ``<something>_info``, because the modules do not return :ref:`Ansible facts <vars_and_facts>`. Ansible facts relate to a specific host. For example, the configuration of a network interface, the operating system on a unix server, and the list of packages installed on a Windows box are all Ansible facts. The renamed modules return values that are not unique to the host. For example, account information or region data for a cloud provider. Renaming these modules should provide more clarity about the types of return values each set of modules offers.
Writing modules
---------------
* Module and module_utils files can now use relative imports to include other module_utils files.
This is useful for shortening long import lines, especially in collections.
Example of using a relative import in collections:
.. code-block:: python
# File: ansible_collections/my_namespace/my_collection/plugins/modules/my_module.py
# Old way to use an absolute import to import module_utils from the collection:
from ansible_collections.my_namespace.my_collection.plugins.module_utils import my_util
# New way using a relative import:
from ..module_utils import my_util
Modules and module_utils shipped with Ansible can use relative imports as well but the savings
are smaller:
.. code-block:: python
# File: ansible/modules/system/ping.py
# Old way to use an absolute import to import module_utils from core:
from ansible.module_utils.basic import AnsibleModule
# New way using a relative import:
from ...module_utils.basic import AnsibleModule
Each single dot (``.``) represents one level of the tree (equivalent to ``../`` in filesystem relative links).
.. seealso:: `The Python Relative Import Docs <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/#guido-s-decision>`_ go into more detail of how to write relative imports.

Noteworthy module changes
-------------------------
* :ref:`vmware_cluster <vmware_cluster_module>` was refactored for easier maintenance/bugfixes. Use the three new, specialized modules to configure clusters. Configure DRS with :ref:`vmware_cluster_drs <vmware_cluster_drs_module>`, HA with :ref:`vmware_cluster_ha <vmware_cluster_ha_module>` and vSAN with :ref:`vmware_cluster_vsan <vmware_cluster_vsan_module>`.
* :ref:`vmware_dvswitch <vmware_dvswitch_module>` accepts ``folder`` parameter to place dvswitch in user defined folder. This option makes ``datacenter`` as an optional parameter.
* :ref:`vmware_datastore_cluster <vmware_datastore_cluster_module>` accepts ``folder`` parameter to place datastore cluster in user defined folder. This option makes ``datacenter`` as an optional parameter.
* :ref:`mysql_db <mysql_db_module>` returns new ``db_list`` parameter in addition to ``db`` parameter. This ``db_list`` parameter refers to list of database names. ``db`` parameter will be deprecated in version 2.13.
* :ref:`snow_record <snow_record_module>` and :ref:`snow_record_find <snow_record_find_module>` now takes environment variables for ``instance``, ``username`` and ``password`` parameters. This change marks these parameters as optional.
* The deprecated ``force`` option in ``win_firewall_rule`` has been removed.
* :ref:`openssl_certificate <openssl_certificate_module>`'s ``ownca`` provider creates authority key identifiers if not explicitly disabled with ``ownca_create_authority_key_identifier: no``. This is only the case for the ``cryptography`` backend, which is selected by default if the ``cryptography`` library is available.
* :ref:`openssl_certificate <openssl_certificate_module>`'s ``ownca`` and ``selfsigned`` providers create subject key identifiers if not explicitly disabled with ``ownca_create_subject_key_identifier: never_create`` resp. ``selfsigned_create_subject_key_identifier: never_create``. If a subject key identifier is provided by the CSR, it is taken; if not, it is created from the public key. This is only the case for the ``cryptography`` backend, which is selected by default if the ``cryptography`` library is available.
* :ref:`openssh_keypair <openssh_keypair_module>` now applies the same file permissions and ownership to both public and private keys (both get the same ``mode``, ``owner``, ``group``, and so on). If you need to change permissions / ownership on one key, use the :ref:`file <file_module>` to modify it after it is created.
Plugins
=======
Removed Lookup Plugins
----------------------
* ``redis_kv`` use :ref:`redis <redis_lookup>` instead.
Porting custom scripts
======================
No notable changes
Networking
==========
Network resource modules
------------------------
Ansible 2.9 introduced the first batch of network resource modules. Sections of a network device's configuration can be thought of as a resource provided by that device. Network resource modules are intentionally scoped to configure a single resource and you can combine them as building blocks to configure complex network services. The older modules are deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and will be removed in Ansible 2.13. You should scan the list of deprecated modules above and replace them with the new network resource modules in your playbooks. See `Ansible Network Features in 2.9 <https://www.ansible.com/blog/network-features-coming-soon-in-ansible-engine-2.9>`_ for details.
Improved ``gather_facts`` support for network devices
-----------------------------------------------------
In Ansible 2.9, the ``gather_facts`` keyword now supports gathering network device facts in standardized key/value pairs. You can feed these network facts into further tasks to manage the network device. You can also use the new ``gather_network_resources`` parameter with the network ``*_facts`` modules (such as :ref:`eos_facts <eos_facts_module>`) to return just a subset of the device configuration. See :ref:`network_gather_facts` for an example.
Top-level connection arguments removed in 2.9
---------------------------------------------
Top-level connection arguments like ``username``, ``host``, and ``password`` are removed in version 2.9.
**OLD** In Ansible < 2.4
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: example of using top-level options for connection properties
ios_command:
commands: show version
host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
username: cisco
password: cisco
authorize: yes
auth_pass: cisco
Change your playbooks to the connection types ``network_cli`` and ``netconf`` using standard Ansible connection properties, and setting those properties in inventory by group. As you update your playbooks and inventory files, you can easily make the change to ``become`` for privilege escalation (on platforms that support it). For more information, see the :ref:`using become with network modules<become_network>` guide and the :ref:`platform documentation<platform_options>`.
This link takes you to a different version of the Ansible documentation. Use the version selection on the left or your browser back button to return to this version of the documentation.

Ansible 3 Porting Guide
=======================
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 2
Ansible Porting Guides are maintained in the ``devel`` branch only. Please go to `the devel Ansible 3 Porting guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_3.html>`_ for up to date information.
.. note::
Ansible 3 is based on Ansible-Base 2.10, which is the same major release as Ansible 2.10. Therefore, there is no section on ansible-base in this porting guide. If you are upgrading from Ansible 2.9, please first consult the Ansible 2.10 porting guide before continuing with the Ansible 3 porting guide.
We suggest you read this page along with the `Ansible 3 Changelog <https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/3/CHANGELOG-v3.rst>`_ to understand what updates you may need to make.
Porting Guide for v3.2.0
========================
Known Issues
------------
dellemc.openmanage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- idrac_user - Issue(192043) Module may error out with the message ``unable to perform the import or export operation because there are pending attribute changes or a configuration job is in progress``. Wait for the job to complete and run the task again.
- ome_configuration_compliance_info - Issue(195592) Module may error out with the message ``unable to process the request because an error occurred``. If the issue persists, report it to the system administrator.
- ome_smart_fabric - Issue(185322) Only three design types are supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular but the module successfully creates a fabric when the design type is not supported.
- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - Issue(186024) ome_smart_fabric_uplink module does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name even though this is supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular. If an uplink is created using the same name as an existing uplink, the existing uplink is modified.
Breaking Changes
----------------
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- docker_swarm - if ``join_token`` is specified, a returned join token with the same value will be replaced by ``VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER``. Make sure that you do not blindly use the join tokens from the return value of this module when the module is invoked with ``join_token`` specified! This breaking change appears in a minor release since it is necessary to fix a security issue (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/103).
Deprecated Features
-------------------
community.crypto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- acme module_utils - the ``acme`` module_utils (``ansible_collections.community.crypto.plugins.module_utils.acme``) is deprecated and will be removed in community.crypto 2.0.0. Use the new Python modules in the ``acme`` package instead (``ansible_collections.community.crypto.plugins.module_utils.acme.xxx``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/184).

community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the Google cloud plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the Google cloud content by FQCN, like ``community.general.gce_img``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``community.google.gce_img`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``community.google`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install the ``community.google`` or ``google.cloud`` collections if you are using any of the Google cloud plugins or modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as community.google) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the Kubevirt plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the Kubevirt content by FQCN, like ``community.general.kubevirt_vm``.

If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install the ``community.kubevirt`` collection if you are using any of the Kubevirt plugins or modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as community.google) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``docker`` plugins or modules from this collections, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the docker content by FQCN, like ``community.general.docker_container``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``community.docker.docker_container`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``community.docker`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.docker`` if you are using any of the ``docker`` plugins or modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (community.docker) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``hashi_vault`` lookup plugin from this collections, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the Hashi Vault content by FQCN, like ``community.general.hashi_vault``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your inventories, variable files, playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCN (``community.hashi_vault.hashi_vault``) and to make sure that you have ``community.hashi_vault`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.hashi_vault`` if you are using the ``hashi_vault`` plugin.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (community.hashi_vault) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``hetzner`` modules from this collections, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the hetzner content by FQCN, like ``community.general.hetzner_firewall``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``community.hrobot.firewall`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``community.hrobot`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.hrobot`` if you are using any of the ``hetzner`` modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (community.hrobot) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``oc`` connection plugin from this collections, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the oc content by FQCN, like ``community.general.oc``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your inventories, variable files, playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCN (``community.okd.oc``) and to make sure that you have ``community.okd`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.okd`` if you are using the ``oc`` plugin.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (community.okd) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``postgresql`` modules from this collections, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the postgresql content by FQCN, like ``community.general.postgresql_info``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``community.postgresql.postgresql_info`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``community.postgresql`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.postgresql`` if you are using any of the ``postgresql`` modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (community.postgresql) must be installed for them to work.
- The Google cloud inventory script ``gce.py`` has been migrated to the ``community.google`` collection. Install the ``community.google`` collection in order to continue using it.
- archive - remove path folder itself when ``remove`` parameter is true (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1041).
- log_plays callback - add missing information to the logs generated by the callback plugin. This changes the log message format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
- passwordstore lookup plugin - now parsing a password store entry as YAML if possible, skipping the first line (which by convention only contains the password and nothing else). If it cannot be parsed as YAML, the old ``key: value`` parser will be used to process the entry. Can break backwards compatibility if YAML formatted code was parsed in a non-YAML interpreted way, e.g. ``foo: [bar, baz]`` will become a list with two elements in the new version, but a string ``'[bar, baz]'`` in the old (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1673).
- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: absent`` will no longer remove every installed package from the system. It is now a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: latest`` or ``state: present`` will no longer install every package from the configured package repositories. Instead, ``name: *, state: latest`` will upgrade all already-installed packages, and ``name: *, state: present`` is a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
- proxmox_kvm - recognize ``force=yes`` in conjunction with ``state=absent`` to forcibly remove a running VM (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/849).
- utm_proxy_auth_profile - the ``frontend_cookie_secret`` return value now contains a placeholder string instead of the module's ``frontend_cookie_secret`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1736).
community.hashi_vault
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- hashi_vault - the ``VAULT_ADDR`` environment variable is now checked last for the ``url`` parameter. For details on which use cases are impacted, see (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/8).
community.hrobot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- firewall - now requires the `ipaddress <https://pypi.org/project/ipaddress/>`_ library (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/2).
community.network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the FortiOS modules from this collection, community.network 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the FortiOS content by FQCN, like ``community.network.fmgr_device``.

If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.network manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.fortios`` if you are using any of the FortiOS modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.network 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (community.fortios) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``cp_publish`` module from this collection, community.network 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the module by FQCN, i.e. ``community.network.cp_publish``. Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``check_point.mgmt.cp_mgmt_publish``) and to make sure that you have ``check_point.mgmt`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.network manually, you need to make sure to also install ``check_point.mgmt`` if you are using the ``cp_publish`` module. While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.network 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (check_point.mgmt) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``fortimanager`` httpapi plugin from this collection, community.network 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use it by FQCN (``community.network.fortimanager``).
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCN ``fortinet.fortimanager.fortimanager`` and to make sure that you have ``fortinet.fortimanager`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.network manually, you need to make sure to also install ``fortinet.fortimanager`` if you are using the ``fortimanager`` httpapi plugin.

- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``nso`` modules from this collection, community.network 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the nso content by FQCN, like ``community.network.nso_config``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``cisco.nso.nso_config`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``cisco.nso`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.network manually, you need to make sure to also install ``cisco.nso`` if you are using any of the ``nso`` modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.network 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (cisco.nso) must be installed for them to work.
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the ``routeros`` plugins or modules from this collections, community.network 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the routeros content by FQCN, like ``community.network.routeros_command``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``community.routeros.command`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``community.routeros`` installed.

While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.network 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (community.routeros) must be installed for them to work.
- cnos_static_route - move ipaddress import from ansible.netcommon to builtin or package before ipaddress is removed from ansible.netcommon. You need to make sure to have the ipaddress package installed if you are using this module on Python 2.7 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/129).
dellemc.os10
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- os10_bgp - Changed "subnet" key as list format instead of dictionary format under "listen" key to support multiple neighbor prefix for listen command

ngine_io.cloudstack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Authentication option using INI files e.g. ``cloudstack.ini`` has been removed. The only supported option to authenticate is by using the module params with fallback to the ENV variables.
- default zone deprecation - The `zone` param default value, across multiple modules, has been deprecated due to unreliable API (https://github.com/ngine-io/ansible-collection-cloudstack/pull/62).
Major Changes
-------------
cisco.aci
~~~~~~~~~
- Change certificate_name to name in aci_aaa_user_certificate module for query operation
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For community.general 3.0.0, the ``ome_device_info``, ``idrac_firmware`` and ``idrac_server_config_profile`` modules will be moved to the `dellemc.openmanage <https://galaxy.ansible.com/dellemc/openmanage>`_ collection.
A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use the DellEMC modules mentioned above from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``dellemc.openmanage.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
for example replace ``community.general.ome_device_info`` in a task by ``dellemc.openmanage.ome_device_info``.
If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the DellEMC modules mentioned above, you have to make sure to install the ``dellemc.openmanage`` collection as well.
If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.general.ome_device_info`` instead of ``ome_device_info``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.netcommon collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1561).
- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.posix collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1157).

Ansible 4 Porting Guide
=======================
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 2
We suggest you read this page along with the `Ansible 4 Changelog <https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/4/CHANGELOG-v4.rst>`_ to understand what updates you may need to make.
Playbook
========
* The ``jinja2_native`` setting now does not affect the template module which implicitly returns strings. For the template lookup there is a new argument ``jinja2_native`` (off by default) to control that functionality. The rest of the Jinja2 expressions still operate based on the ``jinja2_native`` setting.
Command Line
============
* The ``ansible-galaxy login`` command has been removed, as the underlying API it used for GitHub auth has been shut down. Publishing roles or collections to Galaxy with ``ansible-galaxy`` now requires that a Galaxy API token be passed to the CLI using a token file (default location ``~/.ansible/galaxy_token``) or (insecurely) with the ``--token`` argument to ``ansible-galaxy``.
Deprecated
==========
The constant ``ansible.module_utils.basic._CHECK_ARGUMENT_TYPES_DISPATCHER`` is deprecated. Use :const:`ansible.module_utils.common.parameters.DEFAULT_TYPE_VALIDATORS` instead.
Breaking Changes
================
Changes to ``AnsibleModule``
----------------------------
With the move to :class:`ArgumentSpecValidator <ansible.module_utils.common.arg_spec.ArgumentSpecValidator>` for performing argument spec validation, the following private methods in :class:`AnsibleModule <ansible.module_utils.basic.AnsibleModule>` have been removed:
- ``_check_argument_types()``
- ``_check_argument_values()``
- ``_check_arguments()``
- ``_check_mutually_exclusive()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_mutually_exclusive`
- ``_check_required_arguments()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_required_arguments`
- ``_check_required_by()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_required_by`
- ``_check_required_if()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_required_if`
- ``_check_required_one_of()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_required_one_of`
- ``_check_required_together()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_required_together`
- ``_check_type_bits()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_bits`
- ``_check_type_bool()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_bool`
- ``_check_type_bytes()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_bytes`
- ``_check_type_dict()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_dict`
- ``_check_type_float()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_float`
- ``_check_type_int()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_int`
- ``_check_type_jsonarg()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_jsonarg`
- ``_check_type_list()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_list`
- ``_check_type_path()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_path`
- ``_check_type_raw()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_raw`
- ``_check_type_str()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.check_type_str`
- ``_count_terms()`` --> :func:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation.count_terms`
- ``_get_wanted_type()``
- ``_handle_aliases()``
- ``_handle_no_log_values()``
- ``_handle_options()``
- ``_set_defaults()``
- ``_set_fallbacks()``
Modules or plugins using these private methods should use the public functions in :mod:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation` or :meth:`ArgumentSpecValidator.validate() <ansible.module_utils.common.arg_spec.ArgumentSpecValidator.validate>` if no public function was listed above.
Changes to :mod:`ansible.module_utils.common.parameters`
--------------------------------------------------------
The following functions in :mod:`ansible.module_utils.common.parameters` are now private and should not be used directly. Use :meth:`ArgumentSpecValidator.validate() <ansible.module_utils.common.arg_spec.ArgumentSpecValidator.validate>` instead.
- ``list_no_log_values``
- ``list_deprecations``
- ``handle_aliases``
Other
======
* **Upgrading**: If upgrading from ``ansible < 2.10`` or from ``ansible-base`` and using pip, you must ``pip uninstall ansible`` or ``pip uninstall ansible-base`` before installing ``ansible-core`` to avoid conflicts.
* Python 3.8 on the controller node is a soft requirement for this release. ``ansible-core`` 2.11 still works with the same versions of Python that ``ansible-base`` 2.10 worked with, however 2.11 emits a warning when running on a controller node with a Python version less than 3.8. This warning can be disabled by setting ``ANSIBLE_CONTROLLER_PYTHON_WARNING=False`` in your environment. ``ansible-core`` 2.12 will require Python 3.8 or greater.
* The configuration system now validates the ``choices`` field, so any settings that violate it and were ignored in 2.10 cause an error in 2.11. For example, ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_ON_ANSIBLE_VERSION_MISMATCH=0`` now causes an error (valid choices are ``ignore``, ``warn`` or ``error``).
* The ``ansible-galaxy`` command now uses ``resolvelib`` for resolving dependencies. In most cases this should not make a user-facing difference beyond being more performant, but we note it here for posterity and completeness.
* If you import Python ``module_utils`` into any modules you maintain, you may now mark the import as optional during the module payload build by wrapping the ``import`` statement in a ``try`` or ``if`` block. This allows modules to use ``module_utils`` that may not be present in all versions of Ansible or a collection, and to perform arbitrary recovery or fallback actions during module runtime.
Modules
=======
* The ``apt_key`` module has explicitly defined ``file`` as mutually exclusive with ``data``, ``keyserver`` and ``url``. They cannot be used together anymore.
* The ``meta`` module now supports tags for user-defined tasks. Set the task's tags to 'always' to maintain the previous behavior. Internal ``meta`` tasks continue to always run.
Modules removed
---------------
The following modules no longer exist:
* No notable changes
Deprecation notices
-------------------
No notable changes
Noteworthy module changes
-------------------------
* facts - On NetBSD, ``ansible_virtualization_type`` now tries to report a more accurate result than ``xen`` when virtualized and not running on Xen.
* facts - Virtualization facts now include ``virtualization_tech_guest`` and ``virtualization_tech_host`` keys. These are lists of virtualization technologies that a guest is a part of, or that a host provides, respectively. As an example, if you set up a host to provide both KVM and VirtualBox, both values are included in ``virtualization_tech_host``. Similarly, a podman container running on a VM powered by KVM has a ``virtualization_tech_guest`` of ``["kvm", "podman", "container"]``.
* The parameter ``filter`` type is changed from ``string`` to ``list`` in the :ref:`setup <setup_module>` module in order to use more than one filter. Previous behavior (using a ``string``) still remains and works as a single filter.
Plugins
=======
* inventory plugins - ``CachePluginAdjudicator.flush()`` now calls the underlying cache plugin's ``flush()`` instead of only deleting keys that it knows about. Inventory plugins should use ``delete()`` to remove any specific keys. As a user, this means that when an inventory plugin calls its ``clear_cache()`` method, facts could also be flushed from the cache. To work around this, users can configure inventory plugins to use a cache backend that is independent of the facts cache.
* callback plugins - ``meta`` task execution is now sent to ``v2_playbook_on_task_start`` like any other task. By default, only explicit meta tasks are sent there. Callback plugins can opt-in to receiving internal, implicitly created tasks to act on those as well, as noted in the plugin development documentation.
* The ``choices`` are now validated, so plugins that were using incorrect or incomplete choices issue an error in 2.11 if the value provided does not match. This has a simple fix: update the entries in ``choices`` to match reality.

Known Issues
------------
dellemc.openmanage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- idrac_user - Issue(192043) Module may error out with the message ``unable to perform the import or export operation because there are pending attribute changes or a configuration job is in progress``. Wait for the job to complete and run the task again.
- ome_configuration_compliance_info - Issue(195592) Module may error out with the message ``unable to process the request because an error occurred``. If the issue persists, report it to the system administrator.
- ome_smart_fabric - Issue(185322) Only three design types are supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular but the module successfully creates a fabric when the design type is not supported.
- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - Issue(186024) ome_smart_fabric_uplink module does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name even though this is supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular. If an uplink is created using the same name as an existing uplink, the existing uplink is modified.
Breaking Changes
----------------
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and these plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 3.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the DellEMC content by FQCN, like ``community.general.idrac_firmware``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``dellemc.openmanage.idrac_firmware`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``dellemc.openmanage`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 4.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install the ``dellemc.openmanage`` collection if you are using any of these plugins or modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 3.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as dellemc.openmanage) must be installed for them to work.
- gitlab_deploy_key - if for an already existing key title a different public key was given as parameter nothing happened, now this changed so that the public key is updated to the new value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1661).
- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the alias (name) is changed. This was originally the intended behavior, but did not work due to a logic error. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on the old behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the passphrase is changed. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on the old behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
- one_image - use pyone instead of python-oca (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2032).
- utm_proxy_auth_profile - the ``frontend_cookie_secret`` return value now contains a placeholder string instead of the module's ``frontend_cookie_secret`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1736).
Major Changes
-------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ansible-test - Tests run with the ``centos6`` and ``default`` test containers now use a PyPI proxy container to access PyPI when Python 2.6 is used. This allows tests running under Python 2.6 to continue functioning even though PyPI is discontinuing support for non-SNI capable clients.
community.mysql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- mysql_replication - add deprecation warning that the ``Is_Slave`` and ``Is_Master`` return values will be replaced with ``Is_Primary`` and ``Is_Replica`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/147).
- mysql_replication - the choices of the ``state`` option containing ``master`` will be finally replaced with the alternative ``primary`` choices in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0, add deprecation warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/150).
- mysql_replication - the return value ``Is_Slave`` and ``Is_Master`` will be replaced with ``Is_Replica`` and ``Is_Primary`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/145).
- mysql_replication - the word ``master`` in messages returned by the module will be replaced with ``primary`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/145).
- mysql_replication - the word ``slave`` in messages returned by the module replaced with ``replica`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/98).
- mysql_user - the ``REQUIRESSL`` is an alias for the ``ssl`` key in the ``tls_requires`` option in ``community.mysql`` 2.0.0 and support will be dropped altogether in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/121).
netapp.ontap
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- na_ontap_autosupport - Added REST support to the module.

Porting Guide for v4.0.0a3
==========================
Known Issues
------------
dellemc.openmanage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- idrac_user - Issue(192043) Module may error out with the message ``unable to perform the import or export operation because there are pending attribute changes or a configuration job is in progress``. Wait for the job to complete and run the task again.
- ome_configuration_compliance_info - Issue(195592) Module may error out with the message ``unable to process the request because an error occurred``. If the issue persists, report it to the system administrator.
- ome_smart_fabric - Issue(185322) Only three design types are supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular but the module successfully creates a fabric when the design type is not supported.
- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - Issue(186024) ome_smart_fabric_uplink module does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name even though this is supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular. If an uplink is created using the same name as an existing uplink, the existing uplink is modified.
Porting Guide for v4.0.0a2
==========================
Major Changes
-------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- AnsibleModule - use ``ArgumentSpecValidator`` class for validating argument spec and remove private methods related to argument spec validation. Any modules using private methods should now use the ``ArgumentSpecValidator`` class or the appropriate validation function.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- acme module_utils - the ``acme`` module_utils (``ansible_collections.community.crypto.plugins.module_utils.acme``) is deprecated and will be removed in community.crypto 2.0.0. Use the new Python modules in the ``acme`` package instead (``ansible_collections.community.crypto.plugins.module_utils.acme.xxx``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/184).
Porting Guide for v4.0.0a1
Ansible 4 Porting Guide
==========================
Known Issues
------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ansible-test - The ``pylint`` sanity test no longer correctly detects "bad" variable names for non-constants. See https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/3701 for additional details.
dellemc.openmanage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ome_smart_fabric - Issue(185322) Only three design types are supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular but the module successfully creates a fabric when the design type is not supported.
- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - Issue(186024) ome_smart_fabric_uplink module does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name even though this is supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular. If an uplink is created using the same name as an existing uplink, the existing uplink is modified.
Breaking Changes
----------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Made SCM collections be reinstalled regardless of ``--force`` being present.
- NetBSD virtualization facts (specifically ``ansible_virtualization_type``) now returns a more accurate value by checking the value of the ``machdep.hypervisor`` ``sysctl`` key. This change is breaking because in some cases previously, we would erroneously report ``xen`` even when the target is not running on Xen. This prevents that behavior in most cases. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69352)
- Replaced the in-tree dependency resolver with an external implementation that pip >= 20.3 uses now by default — ``resolvelib``. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71784)
- The ``meta`` module now supports tags for user-defined tasks. Internal ``meta`` tasks continue to always run. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64558)
- ansible-galaxy login command has been removed (see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71560)
ansible.netcommon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Removed vendored ipaddress package from collection. If you use ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.compat.ipaddress in your collection, you will need to change this to import ipaddress instead. If your content using ipaddress supports Python 2.7, you will additionally need to make sure that the user has the ipaddress package installed. Please refer to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html#importing-and-using-shared-code to see how to safely import external packages that may be missing from the user's system A backport of ipaddress for Python 2.7 is available at https://pypi.org/project/ipaddress/
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- docker_swarm - if ``join_token`` is specified, a returned join token with the same value will be replaced by ``VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER``. Make sure that you do not blindly use the join tokens from the return value of this module when the module is invoked with ``join_token`` specified! This breaking change appears in a minor release since it is necessary to fix a security issue (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/103).
theforeman.foreman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- All role variables are now prefixed with ``foreman_`` to avoid clashes with similarly named variables from roles outside this collection.
Major Changes
-------------
Ansible-core
