Engine improvements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
- Assemble module improvements
|
|
- assemble just skips when in check mode, it should be able to test if there is a difference and changed=true/false.
|
|
- The same with diff, it should work as template modules does
|
|
- Handle Password reset prompts cleaner
|
|
- Tasks stats for rescues and ignores
|
|
- Normalize temp dir usage across all subsystems
|
|
- Add option to set playbook dir for adhoc, inventory and console to allow for 'relative path loading'
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ansible-Config
|
|
--------------
|
|
- Extend config to more plugin types and update plugins to support the new config

Facts
|
|
-----
|
|
- Namespacing fact variables (via a config option) implemented in ansible/ansible PR `#18445 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/18445>`_.
|
|
Proposal found in ansible/proposals issue `#17 <https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/17>`_.
|
|
- Make fact collectors and gather_subset specs finer grained
|
|
- Eliminate unneeded deps between fact collectors
|
|
- Allow fact collectors to indicate if they need information from another fact collector to be gathered first.
|
|
|
|
Static Loop Keyword
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- A simpler altenative to ``with_``, ``loop:`` only takes a list
|
|
- Remove complexity from loops, lookups are still available to users
|
|
- Less confusing having a static directive vs a one that is dynamic depending on plugins loaded.
|
|
|
