Minor Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- ansible-test - Default to Python 3.13 in the ``base`` and ``default`` containers.
|
|
- ansible-test - Disable the ``deprecated-`` prefixed ``pylint`` rules as their results vary by Python version.
|
|
- ansible-test - Improve container runtime probe error handling. When unexpected probe output is encountered, an error with more useful debugging information is provided.
|
|
- ansible-test - Update ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 3.3.1.
|
|
- ansible-test - Update the ``base`` and ``default`` containers.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- Errors now preserve stacked error messages even when YAML is involved.
|
|
- Fix disabling SSL verification when installing collections and roles from git repositories. If ``--ignore-certs`` isn't provided, the value for the ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` configuration option will be used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83326).
|
|
- Improve performance on large inventories by reducing the number of implicit meta tasks.
|
|
- Use the requested error message in the ansible.module_utils.facts.timeout timeout function instead of hardcoding one.
|
|
- ``package``/``dnf`` action plugins - provide the reason behind the failure to gather the ``ansible_pkg_mgr`` fact to identify the package backend
|
|
- ansible-test - Enable the ``sys.unraisablehook`` work-around for the ``pylint`` sanity test on Python 3.11. Previously the work-around was only enabled for Python 3.12 and later. However, the same issue has been discovered on Python 3.11.
|
|
- debconf - set empty password values (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83214).
|
|
- dnf5 - fix traceback when ``enable_plugins``/``disable_plugins`` is used on ``python3-libdnf5`` versions that do not support this functionality
|
|
- facts - skip if distribution file path is directory, instead of raising error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84006).
|
|
- user module now avoids changing ownership of files symlinked in provided home dir skeleton

Minor Changes
|
|
-------------

|
Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Stopped wrapping all commands sent over SSH on a Windows target with a ``powershell.exe`` executable. This results in one less process being started on each command for Windows to improve efficiency, simplify the code, and make ``raw`` an actual raw command run with the default shell configured on the Windows sshd settings. This should have no affect on most tasks except for ``raw`` which now is not guaranteed to always be running in a PowerShell shell and from having the console output codepage set to UTF-8. To avoid this issue either swap to using ``ansible.windows.win_command``, ``ansible.windows.win_shell``, ``ansible.windows.win_powershell`` or manually wrap the raw command with the shell commands needed to set the output console encoding.
|
|
- assert - Nested templating may result in an inability for the conditional to be evaluated. See the porting guide for more information.
|
|
- persistent connection plugins - The ``ANSIBLE_CONNECTION_PATH`` config option no longer has any effect.
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Features
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Deprecate ``ansible.module_utils.basic.AnsibleModule.safe_eval`` and ``ansible.module_utils.common.safe_eval`` as they are no longer used.
|
|
- persistent connection plugins - The ``ANSIBLE_CONNECTION_PATH`` config option no longer has any effect, and will be removed in a future release.
|
|
- yum_repository - deprecate ``async`` option as it has been removed in RHEL 8 and will be removed in ansible-core 2.22.
|
|
- yum_repository - the following options are deprecated: ``deltarpm_metadata_percentage``, ``gpgcakey``, ``http_caching``, ``keepalive``, ``metadata_expire_filter``, ``mirrorlist_expire``, ``protect``, ``ssl_check_cert_permissions``, ``ui_repoid_vars`` as they have no effect for dnf as an underlying package manager. The options will be removed in ansible-core 2.22.
|
|
|
|

|
Security Fixes
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
- templating - Address issues where internal templating can cause unsafe variables to lose their unsafe designation (CVE-2023-5764)
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- -> runas become - Generate new token for the SYSTEM token to use for become. This should result in the full SYSTEM token being used and problems starting the process that fails with ``The process creation has been blocked``.
|
|
- Add a version ceiling constraint for pypsrp to avoid potential breaking changes in the 1.0.0 release.
|
|
- Add descriptions for ``ansible-galaxy install --help` and ``ansible-galaxy role|collection install --help``.
|
|
- Avoid truncating floats when casting into int, as it can lead to truncation and unexpected results. 0.99999 will be 0, not 1.
|
|
- COLOR_SKIP will not alter "included" events color display anymore.
|
|
- Callbacks now correctly get the resolved connection plugin name as the connection used.
|
|
- Darwin - add unit tests for Darwin hardware fact gathering.
|
|
- Fix ``SemanticVersion.parse()`` to store the version string so that ``__repr__`` reports it instead of ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83831).
|
|
- Fix a traceback when an environment variable contains certain special characters (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83498)
|
|
- Fix an issue when setting a plugin name from an unsafe source resulted in ``ValueError: unmarshallable object`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82708)
|
|
- Fix an issue where registered variable was not available for templating in ``loop_control.label`` on skipped looped tasks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83619)
|
|
- Fix for ``meta`` tasks breaking host/fork affinity with ``host_pinned`` strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83294)
|
|
- Fix handlers not being executed in lockstep using the linear strategy in some cases (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82307)
|
|
- Fix rapid memory usage growth when notifying handlers using the ``listen`` keyword (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83392)
|
|
- Fix the task attribute ``resolved_action`` to show the FQCN instead of ``None`` when ``action`` or ``local_action`` is used in the playbook.
|
|
- Fix using ``module_defaults`` with ``local_action``/``action`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81905).
|
|
- Fix using the current task's directory for looking up relative paths within roles (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82695).
|
|
- Remove deprecated config options DEFAULT_FACT_PATH, DEFAULT_GATHER_SUBSET, and DEFAULT_GATHER_TIMEOUT in favor of setting ``fact_path``, ``gather_subset`` and ``gather_timeout`` as ``module_defaults`` for ``ansible.builtin.setup``.
|
|
These will apply to both the ``gather_facts`` play keyword, and any ``ansible.builtin.setup`` tasks.
|
|
To configure these options only for the ``gather_facts`` keyword, set these options as play keywords also.
|
|
- Set LANGUAGE environment variable is set to a non-English locale (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83608).
|
|
- ``ansible-galaxy install --help`` - Fix the usage text and document that the requirements file passed to ``-r`` can include collections and roles.
|
|
- ``ansible-galaxy role install`` - update the default timeout to download archive URLs from 20 seconds to 60 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83521).
|
|
- ``end_host`` - fix incorrect return code when executing ``end_host`` in the ``rescue`` section (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83447)
|
|
- addressed issue of trailing text been ignored, non-ASCII characters are parsed, enhance white space handling and fixed overly permissive issue of human_to_bytes filter(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82075)
|
|
- ansible-config will now properly template defaults before dumping them.
|
|
- ansible-doc - fixed "inicates" typo in output
|
|
- ansible-doc - format top-level descriptions with multiple paragraphs as multiple paragraphs, instead of concatenating them (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83155).
|
|
- ansible-doc - handle no_fail condition for role.
|
|
- ansible-doc - make colors configurable.
|
|
- ansible-galaxy collection install - remove old installation info when installing collections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83182).
|
|
- ansible-galaxy role install - fix symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82702, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
|
|
- ansible-test - The ``pylint`` sanity test now includes the controller/target context of files when grouping them. This allows the ``--py-version`` option to be passed to ``pylint`` to indicate the minimum supported Python version for each test context, preventing ``pylint`` from defaulting to the Python version used to invoke the test.
|
|
- ansible-test action-plugin-docs - Fix to check for sidecar documentation for action plugins
|
|
- ansible_managed restored it's 'templatability' by ensuring the possible injection routes are cut off earlier in the process.
|
|
- apt - report changed=True when some packages are being removed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46314).
|
|
- apt_* - add more info messages raised while updating apt cache (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77941).
|
|
- assemble - update argument_spec with 'decrypt' option which is required by action plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80840).
|
|
- atomic_move - fix using the setgid bit on the parent directory when creating files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46742, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67177).
|
|
- config, restored the ability to set module compression via a variable
|
|
- connection plugins using the 'extras' option feature would need variables to match the plugin's loaded name, sometimes requiring fqcn, which is not the same as the documented/declared/expected variables. Now we fall back to the 'basename' of the fqcn, but plugin authors can still set the expected value directly.
|
|
- copy - mtime/atime not updated. Fix now update mtime/atime(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83013)
|
|
- csvfile lookup - give an error when no search term is provided using modern config syntax (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83689).
|
|
- debconf - fix normalization of value representation for boolean vtypes in new packages (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83594)
|
|
- delay keyword is now a float, matching the underlying 'time' API and user expectations.
|
|
- display - warn user about empty log filepath (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79959).
|
|
- display now does a better job of mapping warnings/errors to the proper log severity when using ansible.log. We still use color as a fallback mapping (now prioritiezed by severity) but mostly rely on it beind directly set by warnning/errors calls.
|
|
- distro package - update the distro package version from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82935)
|
|
- dnf - Ensure that we are handling DownloadError properly in the dnf module
|
|
- dnf - Substitute variables in DNF cache path (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80094).
|
|
- dnf - fix an issue where two packages of the same ``evr`` but different arch failed to install (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83406)
|
|
- dnf - honor installroot for ``cachedir``, ``logdir`` and ``persistdir``
|
|
- dnf - perform variable substitutions in ``logdir`` and ``persistdir``
|
|
- dnf, dnf5 - fix for installing a set of packages by specifying them using a wildcard character (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83373)
|
|
- dnf5 - re-introduce the ``state: installed`` alias to ``state: present`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83960)
|
|
- dnf5 - replace removed API calls
|
|
- ensure we have logger before we log when we have increased verbosity.
|
|
- facts - `support_discard` now returns `0` if either `discard_granularity` or `discard_max_hw_bytes` is zero; otherwise it returns the value of `discard_granularity`, as before (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83480).
|
|
- facts - add a generic detection for VMware in product name.
|
|
- facts - add facts about x86_64 flags to detect microarchitecture (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83331).
|
|
- fetch - add error message when using ``dest`` with a trailing slash that becomes a local directory - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82878
|
|
- file - retrieve the link's full path when hard linking a soft link with follow (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/33911).
|

|
|
- fixed unit test test_borken_cowsay to address mock not been properly applied when existing unix system already have cowsay installed.
|
|
- freebsd - refactor dmidecode fact gathering code for simplicity.
|
|
- freebsd - update disk and slices regex for fact gathering (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82081).
|
|
- get_url - Verify checksum using tmpsrc, not dest (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/64092)
|
|
- git - check if git version is available or not before using it for comparison (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72321).
|
|
- include_tasks - Display location when attempting to load a task list where ``include_*`` did not specify any value - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83874
|
|
- known_hosts - the returned module invocation now accurately reflects the module arguments.
|
|
- linear strategy now provides a properly templated task name to the v2_runner_on_started callback event.
|
|
- linear strategy: fix handlers included via ``include_tasks`` handler to be executed in lockstep (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83019)
|
|
- linux - remove extraneous get_bin_path API call.
|
|
- local - handle error while parsing values in ini files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82717).
|
|
- lookup - Fixed examples of csv lookup plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83031).
|

|
|
- package_facts - no longer fails silently when the selected package manager is unable to list packages.
|
|
- package_facts - returns the correct warning when package listing fails.
|
|
- persistent connection plugins - The correct Ansible persistent connection helper is now always used. Previously, the wrong script could be used, depending on the value of the ``PATH`` environment variable. As a result, users were sometimes required to set ``ANSIBLE_CONNECTION_PATH`` to use the correct script.
|
|
- powershell - Implement more robust deletion mechanism for C# code compilation temporary files. This should avoid scenarios where the underlying temporary directory may be temporarily locked by antivirus tools or other IO problems. A failure to delete one of these temporary directories will result in a warning rather than an outright failure.

|
|
- support the countme option when using yum_repository
|
|
