Changed confusing wording. People new to ansible, like myself, have a hard time grocking what is a playbook and what is a task. I changed the name of the playbook to make it clearer.
* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.
* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net. At this time, libera.chat
doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
https://libera.chat for link targets. This is because the irc service
is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
libera.chat. (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work. Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
been http://frenode.net instead).
* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat
* Link to where contributors should get help
Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

Change:
- Make strategies behave consistently and return the empty string
instead of "UNKNOWN" (or "temporarystub") for the "before" value if
the permanent hostname file does not exist or could not be read.
- Switch to `with open()` instead of annoying exception handling code
(which was wrong and leaked file handles in several places). This
drops Python 2.4 support for this module.
- Updated porting guide since users could be relying on these former,
inconsistent values.

* Remove PyCrypto from setup.py and packaging script
* Remove mention of pycrpto from installation docs
* Remove PyCrypto from vault
* Remove pycryto constraint and unit test requirement
* Remove PyCrypto tests from unit tests
* Add docs and fix warning message
* Remove section about cryptography library in Ansible Vault docs
The URLs to the Jinja website have moved, seemingly because of the renaming from `master` to `main` (hence from `master` to `latest` in the doc). This commit fixes that.
* For long-running playbooks, discourage users from using
`ansible_date_time`. Use `pipe` or `now` as an alternative.
* Review comments

Improve the documentation for regex_search by adding a few more
realistic examples such as showing how to extract only parts of a
string by using regex groups.
Extend regex_findall and regex_replace by an example that includes
the multiline and ignorecase parameters.

Changed FAQ examples to conform with the Jinja documentation:
If both values on either side of a plus/+ are numbers, they will be added whereas using "~" will convert all operands into strings and then concatenate them. Closes#73799.
* Add ArgumentSpecValidator to docs
* Improve docs for ArgumentSpecValidator

The py:attribute: domain only exists in newer Sphinx >= 3.1.

- use args/kwargs instead of param
- fix formatting errors that didn't display examples correctly
- format TypeErrors so they are referenced as classes

* Translating both ansible-core and ansible docs requires msgcat
(a program from the gettext package). If msgcat is not present,
only the ansible-core index file's strings will be extracted for translation.
If this is a problem, a short hacking script could be written to take the
place of msgcat (merging the various index pot files into a single pot file).

* excludes scenario guides from core docs, splits porting guides and roadmaps, symlinks indices to create index.html pages, and adds .gitignore entries for conf.py and the toplevel index.rst files generated by the docs build
This solution builds three types of docs:
* ansible-2.10 and earlier: all the docs. Handle this via `make webdocs
ANSIBLE_VERSION=2.10`
* ansible-3 and later: a subset of the docs for the ansible package.
Handle this via `make webdocs ANSIBLE_VERSION=3` (change the
ANSIBLE_VERSION to match the version being built for.
* ansible-core: a subset of the docs for the ansible-core package.
Handle this via `make coredocs`.
* `make webdocs` now always builds all the collection docs
* Use `make coredocs` to limit it to core plugins only
* The user specifies the desired version. If no ANSIBLE_VERSION is specified, build plugins for the latest release of ansible

##### SUMMARY
One of the parameters to the slaac filter was unquoted causing a crash:
```
template error while templating string: expected token 'end of print statement', got ':'. String: {{ fdcf:1894:23b5:d38c:0000:0000:0000:0000 | slaac('c2:31:b3:83:bf:2b') }}
```
This adds the missing quotes.

The standard Port for ansible winrm is set to 5986/HTTPS.
To be able to use Kerberos, you need to set ansible_port: 5985/HTTP otherwiese you get error message or timeout.
HTTPS is not needed for environments with Kerberos, since kerberos has server identification built in to the protocoll.
FYI: HTTP traffic will by default also be encrypted when using kerberos
* ExecutionPolicy default value is RemoteSigned
##### SUMMARY
In Windows setup steps, settings `ExecutionPolicy` is restored to value `Restricted`. But actually default value for Windows server is not `Restricted` but `RemoteSigned` ([source](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies?view=powershell-7.1#default)).
I have got issue with `win_dsc` because `ExecutionPolicy` was `Restricted`.
