* Lack of "--update" flag in older Ubuntu distros (#56283): when installing on older Ubuntu distributions be aware of the lack of ``-u`` or ``--update`` flag.
(cherry picked from commit dd0b0ae47b)
* should have gone into 52373 (#56306)
(cherry picked from commit 3c8d8b1509)
* Added idempotency logic to openssl_pkcs12
Also decoupled the 'parse' and 'generate' function from the file write
as they are now used in different places that do not need the file to be
written to disk.
* Added idempotency tests for openssl_pkcs12
Also adds a new test for pkcs12 files with multiple certificates
* Regenerate if parsed file is invalid
* pkcs12_other_certificates check was wrong
* Updated ca_certificates to other_certificates
ca_certificates is left as an alias to other_certificates;
friendlyname depends on private key, so it will be ignored while
checking for idempotency if the pkey is not set;
idempotency check only checks for correct certs in the stack
* use different keys for different certs
* Added other_certificates in module docs
* Added changelog and porting guide
* removed unrelated porting guide entry
* renamed ca_cert* occurrence with other_cert
This reverts commit 85d836171b.
As discussed in WWG IRC meeting, we don't want Get-ADObject to be a dependency of win_domain_membership, and we need to be able to authenticate to the DC in some configs. We can revisit this change a different way for 2.9.

* Check for existence of current hostname as well; use LDAPFilter during search
* Rename $force_replace_host to $allow_existing_computer_account
* Added docs, porting guide and minor nit in code
When using before and after in combination, the opposite behavior was induced. This PR makes the the replacement happen between the specified patterns as intended.
* Added integration tests
* Add changelog, porting guide entry, and minor doc fixes
* Replace InventoryFileCacheModule with a better developer-interface
Use new interface for inventory plugins with backwards compatibility
Auto-update the backing cache-plugin if the cache has changed after parsing the inventory plugin
* Update CacheModules to use the config system and add a deprecation warning if they are being imported directly rather than using cache_loader
* Fix foreman inventory caching
* Add tests
* Add integration test to check that fact caching works normally with cache plugins using ansible.constants and inventory caching provides a helpful error for non-compatible cache plugins
* Add some developer documentation for inventory and cache plugins
* Add user documentation for inventory caching
* Add deprecation docs
* Apply suggestions from docs review
* Add changelog

this has been disabled.

* Update porting guide to reflect change in default state of retry_files_enabled variable
* Change log documenting a change in default behaviour of retry_files_enabled
* Revert config change to comment out the retry_files_enabled line to let the user decided what is best.
Comment above still states how to change.
* Python interpreter discovery
* No longer blindly default to only `/usr/bin/python`
* `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings.
* includes new doc utility method `get_versioned_doclink` to generate a major.minor versioned doclink against docs.ansible.com (or some other config-overridden URL)
* docs revisions for python interpreter discovery
(cherry picked from commit 5b53c0012ab7212304c28fdd24cb33fd8ff755c2)
* verify output on some distros, cleanup
* Add new module property to Windows modules
* Add brief pause to file tests to ensure the stat times are not equal, which was happening sometimes.
* Raise TypeError on error rather than fail_json()
* Rework error message to be less verbose
* Add porting guide entry
* Facts parsing for cmdline can now handle multiple values for a single key.
* Unit tests for cmdline fact parsing
* Review comments
Fixes: #22766

* standardize user/password connection vars
* docs: use ansible_user and ansible_password
* docs: var precedence for connection vars
* docs: ansible_become_pass -> ansible_become_password etc
* Add a porting guide entry for ansible_distribution facts
Switching away from platform.distro() will cause changes sometimes due
to the new code using new sources of information that may be out of sync
with the old ones. Just have to make people aware of that and also what
we are doing to mitigate it when appropriate.
* wordsmithed, added links for new distro backend
* Once cli args are parsed, they're constant. So, save the parsed args
into the global context for everyone else to use them from now on.
* Port cli scripts to use the CLIARGS in the context
* Refactor call to parse cli args into the run() method
* Fix unittests for changes to the internals of CLI arg parsing
* Port callback plugins to use context.CLIARGS
* Got rid of the private self._options attribute
* Use context.CLIARGS in the individual callback plugins instead.
* Also output positional arguments in default and unixy plugins
* Code has been simplified since we're now dealing with a dict rather
than Optparse.Value
Without this modprobe always reports changed when modprobe-ing a builtin module.
With this, if a kernel module is a builtin, the modprobe module will:
- succeed (without incorrectly reporting changed) if ``state`` is ``present``;
- fail if ``state`` is ``absent``
The failure will have whatever error message modprobe returns when
attempting to remove a builtin module. For example:
``modprobe: ERROR: Module nfs is builtin.``
It was super incomplete, and the interface was pretty strange; it had
built-in features to handle pretty bespoke workflows ("clean504",
e.g.) but was lacking lots of other useful features (like the ability
to create a webhook with a shared secret). Rather than try to update
the interface in a backwards compatible way, I've replaced it with the
more predictable, single-purpose github_webhook and
github_webhook_facts modules.
* Fix FactCache to conform to the dict API
* update needs to take a dict rather than a key and a value
* __init__ needs to allow for setting the intial dictionary
* Remove unneeded _display and _cache attributes
* Move ansible.plugins.cache.FactCache to
ansible.vars.fact_cache.FactCache because this isn't part of the cache
plugin API.
* Add backwards compatibility when calling update on the new FactCache
* Remove code for calling old FactCache. There's no way to call the old
FactCache so there's no need for backwards compatible code for calling
code. Backwards compatibility is handling things which are calling
the new FactCache.
* Port our code to the new FactCache location.
