2.14.0b1:
changes:
breaking_changes:
- Allow for lazy evaluation of Jinja2 expressions (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/56017)
- The default ansible-galaxy role skeletons no longer contain .travis.yml files.
You can configure ansible-galaxy to use a custom role skeleton that contains
a .travis.yml file to continue using Galaxy's integration with Travis CI.
- ansible - At startup the filesystem encoding and locale are checked to verify
they are UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant
encoding.
- ansible - Increase minimum Python requirement to Python 3.9 for CLI utilities
and controller code
- ansible-test - At startup the filesystem encoding is checked to verify it
is UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding.
- ansible-test - At startup the locale is configured as ``en_US.UTF-8``, with
a fallback to ``C.UTF-8``. If neither encoding is available the process exits
with an error. If the fallback is used, a warning is displayed. In previous
versions the ``en_US.UTF-8`` locale was always requested. However, no startup
checking was performed to verify the locale was successfully configured.
- strategy plugins - Make ``ignore_unreachable`` to increase ``ignored`` and
``ok`` and counter, not ``skipped`` and ``unreachable``. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77690)
bugfixes:
- '"meta: refresh_inventory" does not clobber entries added by add_host/group_by
anymore.'
- Add PyYAML >= 5.1 as a dependency of ansible-core to be compatible with Python
3.8+.
- Avoid 'unreachable' error when chmod on AIX has 255 as return code.
- Bug fix for when handlers were ran on failed hosts after an ``always`` section
was executed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/52561)
- Do not allow handlers from dynamic includes to be notified (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78399)
- Ensure handlers observe ``any_errors_fatal`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46447)
- Ensure syntax check errors include playbook filenames
- Ensure the correct ``environment_class`` is set on ``AnsibleJ2Template``
- Error for collection redirects that do not use fully qualified collection
names, as the redirect would be determined by the ``collections`` keyword.
- Fix PluginLoader to mimic Python import machinery by adding module to sys.modules
before exec
- Fix ``-vv`` output for meta tasks to not have an empty message when skipped,
print the skip reason instead. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77315)
- Fix an issue where ``ansible_play_hosts`` and ``ansible_play_batch`` were
not properly updated when a failure occured in an explicit block inside the
rescue section (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78612)
- Fix dnf module documentation to indicate that comparison operators for package
version require spaces around them (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78295)
- Fix for linear strategy when tasks were executed in incorrect order or even
removed from execution. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64611,
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64999, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72725,
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72781)
- Fix for network_cli not getting all relevant connection options
- Fix handlers execution with ``serial`` in the ``linear`` strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/54991)
- Fix potential, but unlikely, cases of variable use before definition.
- Fix traceback when installing a collection from a git repository and git is
not installed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77479).
- GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS reworked to allow each server entry to override
- More gracefully handle separator errors in jinja2 template overrides (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77495).
- Move undefined check from concat to finalize (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78156)
- Prevent losing unsafe on results returned from lookups (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77535)
- Propagate ``ansible_failed_task`` and ``ansible_failed_result`` to an outer
rescue (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43191)
- Properly execute rescue section when an include task fails in all loop iterations
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/23161)
- Properly send a skipped message when a list in a ``loop`` is empty and comes
from a template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77934)
- Support colons in jinja2 template override values (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77495).
- '``ansible-galaxy`` - remove extra server api call during dependency resolution
for requirements and dependencies that are already satisfied (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77443).'
- '`ansible-config init -f vars` will now use shorthand format'
- action plugins now pass cannonical info to modules instead of 'temporary'
info from play_context
- ansible - Exclude Python 2.6 from Python interpreter discovery.
- ansible-config dump - Only display plugin type headers when plugin options
are changed if --only-changed is specified.
- ansible-configi init should now skip internal reserved config entries
- ansible-connection - decrypt vaulted parameters before sending over the socket,
as vault secrets are not available on the other side.
- ansible-console - Renamed the first argument of ``ConsoleCLI.default`` from
``arg`` to ``line`` to match the first argument of the same method on the
base class ``Cmd``.
- ansible-console commands now all have a help entry.
- ansible-console fixed to load modules via fqcn, short names and handle redirects.
- ansible-console now shows installed collection modules.
- ansible-doc - fix listing plugins.
- ansible-doc will not add 'website for' in ":ref:" substitutions as it made
them confusing.
- ansible-doc will not again warn and skip when missing docs, always show the
doc file (for edit on github) and match legacy plugins.
- ansible-doc will not traceback when legacy plugins don't have docs nor adjacent
file with docs
- ansible-doc will now also display until as an 'implicit' templating keyword.
- ansible-doc will now not display version_added_collection under same conditions
it does not display version_added.
- ansible-galaxy - Fix detection of ``--role-file`` in arguments for implicit
role invocation (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78204)
- ansible-galaxy - Fix exit codes for role search and delete (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78516)
- ansible-galaxy - Fix loading boolean server options so False doesn't become
a truthy string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77416).
- ansible-galaxy - Fix reinitializing the whole collection directory with ``ansible-galaxy
collection init ns.coll --force``. Now directories and files that are not
included in the collection skeleton will be removed.
- ansible-galaxy - Fix unhandled traceback if a role's dependencies in meta/main.yml
or meta/requirements.yml are not lists.
- ansible-galaxy - do not require mandatory keys in the ``galaxy.yml`` of source
collections when listing them (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70180).
- ansible-galaxy - fix installing collections that have dependencies in the
metadata set to null instead of an empty dictionary (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77560).
- ansible-galaxy - fix listing collections that contains metadata but the namespace
or name are not strings.
- ansible-galaxy - fix missing meta/runtime.yml in default galaxy skeleton used
for ansible-galaxy collection init
- ansible-galaxy - fix setting the cache for paginated responses from Galaxy
NG/AH (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77911).
- ansible-galaxy - handle unsupported versions of resolvelib gracefully.
- ansible-galaxy --ignore-certs now has proper precedence over configuration
- ansible-test - Allow disabled, unsupported, unstable and destructive integration
test targets to be selected using their respective prefixes.
- ansible-test - Allow unstable tests to run when targeted changes are made
and the ``--allow-unstable-changed`` option is specified (resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74213).
- ansible-test - Always remove containers after failing to create/run them.
This avoids leaving behind created containers when using podman.
- ansible-test - Correctly detect when running as the ``root`` user (UID 0)
on the origin host. The result of the detection was incorrectly being inverted.
- ansible-test - Delegation for commands which generate output for programmatic
consumption no longer redirect all output to stdout. The affected commands
and options are ``shell``, ``sanity --lint``, ``sanity --list-tests``, ``integration
--list-targets``, ``coverage analyze``
- ansible-test - Delegation now properly handles arguments given after ``--``
on the command line.
- ansible-test - Don't fail if network cannot be disconnected (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77472)
- ansible-test - Fix bootstrapping of Python 3.9 on Ubuntu 20.04 remotes.
- ansible-test - Fix change detection for ansible-test's own integration tests.
- ansible-test - Fix internal validation of remote completion configuration.
- ansible-test - Fix skipping of tests marked ``needs/python`` on the origin
host.
- ansible-test - Fix skipping of tests marked ``needs/root`` on the origin host.
- ansible-test - Prevent ``--target-`` prefixed options for the ``shell`` command
from being combined with legacy environment options.
- ansible-test - Sanity test output with the ``--lint`` option is no longer
mixed in with bootstrapping output.
- ansible-test - Subprocesses are now isolated from the stdin, stdout and stderr
of ansible-test. This avoids issues with subprocesses tampering with the file
descriptors, such as SSH making them non-blocking. As a result of this change,
subprocess output from unit and integration tests on stderr now go to stdout.
- ansible-test - Subprocesses no longer have access to the TTY ansible-test
is connected to, if any. This maintains consistent behavior between local
testing and CI systems, which typically do not provide a TTY. Tests which
require a TTY should use pexpect or another mechanism to create a PTY.
- ansible-test - Temporary executables are now verified as executable after
creation. Without this check, path injected scripts may not be found, typically
on systems with ``/tmp`` mounted using the "noexec" option. This can manifest
as a missing Python interpreter, or use of the wrong Python interpreter, as
well as other error conditions.
- 'ansible-test - Test configuration for collections is now parsed only once,
prior to delegation. Fixes issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78334'
- ansible-test - Test containers are now run with the ``--tmpfs`` option for
``/tmp``, ``/run`` and ``/run/lock``. This allows use of containers built
without the ``VOLUME`` instruction. Additionally, containers with those volumes
defined no longer create anonymous volumes for them. This avoids leaving behind
volumes on the container host after the container is stopped and deleted.
- ansible-test - The ``shell`` command no longer redirects all output to stdout
when running a provided command. Any command output written to stderr will
be mixed with the stderr output from ansible-test.
- ansible-test - The ``shell`` command no longer requests a TTY when using delegation
unless an interactive shell is being used. An interactive shell is the default
behavior when no command is given to pass to the shell.
- ansible-test - ansible-doc sanity test - Correctly determine the fully-qualified
collection name for plugins in subdirectories, resolving https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78490.
- ansible-test - validate-modules - Documentation-only modules, used for documenting
actions, are now allowed to have docstrings (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77972).
- ansible-test compile sanity test - do not crash if a column could not be determined
for an error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77465).
- apt - Fix module failure when a package is not installed and only_upgrade=True.
Skip that package and check the remaining requested packages for upgrades.
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78762)
- apt - don't actually update the cache in check mode with update_cache=true.
- apt - don't mark existing packages as manually installed in check mode (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/66413).
- apt - fix package selection to include /etc/apt/preferences(.d) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77969)
- apt module now correctly handles virtual packages.
- arg_spec - Fix incorrect ``no_log`` warning when a parameter alias is used
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77576)
- callback plugins - do not crash when ``exception`` passed from a module is
not a string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75726, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77781).
- cli now emits clearer error on no hosts selected
- config, ensure that pulling values from configmanager are templated if possible.
- display itself should be single source of 'verbosity' level to the engine.
- dnf - Condense a few internal boolean returns.
- dnf - The ``nobest`` option now also works for ``state=latest``.
- dnf - The ``skip_broken`` option is now used in installs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73072).
- dnf - fix output parsing on systems with ``LANGUAGE`` set to a language other
than English (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78193)
- facts - fix IP address discovery for specific interface names (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77792).
- 'facts - fix processor facts on AIX: correctly detect number of cores and
threads, turn ``processor`` into a list (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78223).'
- fetch_file - Ensure we only use the filename when calculating a tempfile,
and do not incude the query string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29680)
- fetch_file - properly split files with multiple file extensions (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75257)
- file - setting attributes of symbolic links or files that are hard linked
no longer fails when the link target is unspecified (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76142).
- file backed cache plugins now handle concurrent access by making atomic updates
to the files.
- git module fix docs and proper use of ssh wrapper script and GIT_SSH_COMMAND
depending on version.
- if a config setting prevents running ansible it should at least show it's
"origin".
- include module - add docs url to include deprecation message (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76684).
- items2dict - Handle error if an item is not a dictionary or is missing the
required keys (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70337).
- local facts - if a local fact in the facts directory cannot be stated, store
an error message as the fact value and emit a warning just as if just as if
the facts execution has failed. The stat can fail e.g. on dangling symlinks.
- lookup plugin - catch KeyError when lookup returns dictionary (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77789).
- module_utils - Make distro.id() report newer versions of OpenSuSE (at least
>=15) also report as ``opensuse``. They report themselves as ``opensuse-leap``.
- module_utils.service - daemonize - Avoid modifying the list of file descriptors
while iterating over it.
- null_representation config entry changed to 'raw' as it must allow 'none/null'
and empty string.
- paramiko - Add a new option to allow paramiko >= 2.9 to easily work with all
devices now that rsa-sha2 support was added to paramiko, which prevented communication
with numerous platforms. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76737)
- paramiko - Add back support for ``ssh_args``, ``ssh_common_args``, and ``ssh_extra_args``
for parsing the ``ProxyCommand`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78750)
- password lookup does not ignore k=v arguments anymore.
- pause module will now report proper 'echo' vs always being true.
- pip - fix cases where resolution of pip Python module fails when importlib.util
has not already been imported
- plugin loader - Sort results when fuzzy matching plugin names (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77966).
- plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file
to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (fqcn
+ short name).
- plugin loader, now when skipping a plugin due to an abstract method error
we provide that in 'verbose' mode instead of totally obscuring the error.
The current implementation assumed only the base classes would trigger this
and failed to consider 'in development' plugins.
- prevent lusermod from using group name instead of group id (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77914)
- prevent type annotation shim failures from causing runtime failures (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77860)
- psrp connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly.
- roles, fixed issue with roles loading paths not contained in the role itself
when using the `_from` options.
- setup - Adds a default value to ``lvm_facts`` when lvm or lvm2 is not installed
on linux (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/17393)
- shell plugins now give a more user friendly error when fed the wrong type
of data.
- template module/lookup - fix ``convert_data`` option that was effectively
always set to True for Jinja macros (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78141)
- unarchive - if unzip is available but zipinfo is not, use unzip -Z instead
of zipinfo (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76959).
- uri - properly use uri parameter use_proxy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/58632)
- uri module - failed status when Authentication Bearer used with netrc, because
Basic authentication was by default. Fix now allows to ignore netrc by changing
use_netrc=False (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74397).
- urls - Guard imports of ``urllib3`` by catching ``Exception`` instead of ``ImportError``
to prevent exceptions in the import process of optional dependencies from
preventing use of ``urls.py`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78648)
- user - Fix error "Permission denied" in user module while generating SSH keys
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78017).
- user - fix creating a local user if the user group already exists (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75042)
- user module - Replace uses of the deprecated ``spwd`` python module with ctypes
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78050)
- validate-modules - fix validating version_added for new options.
- variablemanager, more efficient read of vars files
- vault secrets file now executes in the correct context when it is a symlink
(not resolved to canonical file).
- wait_for - Read file and perform comparisons using bytes to avoid decode errors
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78214)
- winrm - Ensure ``kinit`` is run with the same ``PATH`` env var as the Ansible
process
- winrm connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly.
- yaml inventory plugin - fix the error message for non-string hostnames (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77519).
- yum - fix traceback when ``releasever`` is specified with ``latest`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78058)
deprecated_features:
- Deprecate ability of lookup plugins to return arbitrary data. Lookup plugins
must return lists, failing to do so will be an error in 2.18. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77788)
- Encryption - Deprecate use of the Python crypt module due to it's impending
removal from Python 3.13
- PlayContext.verbosity is deprecated and will be removed in 2.18. Use ansible.utils.display.Display().verbosity
as the single source of truth.
- '``DEFAULT_FACT_PATH``, ``DEFAULT_GATHER_SUBSET`` and ``DEFAULT_GATHER_TIMEOUT``
are deprecated and will be removed in 2.18. Use ``module_defaults`` keyword
instead.'
- '``PlayIterator`` - deprecate ``cache_block_tasks`` and ``get_original_task``
which are noop and unused.'
- '``Templar`` - deprecate ``shared_loader_obj`` option which is unused. ``ansible.plugins.loader``
is used directly instead.'
- listify_lookup_plugin_terms, deprecate 'loader/dataloader' parameter as it
not used.
- vars plugins - determining whether or not to run ansible.legacy vars plugins
with the class attribute REQUIRES_WHITELIST is deprecated, set REQUIRES_ENABLED
instead.
major_changes:
- Move handler processing into new ``PlayIterator`` phase to use the configured
strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/65067)
- ansible - At startup the filesystem encoding and locale are checked to verify
they are UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant
encoding.
- ansible - Increase minimum Python requirement to Python 3.9 for CLI utilities
and controller code
- ansible-test - At startup the filesystem encoding is checked to verify it
is UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding.
- ansible-test - At startup the locale is configured as ``en_US.UTF-8``, with
a fallback to ``C.UTF-8``. If neither encoding is available the process exits
with an error. If the fallback is used, a warning is displayed. In previous
versions the ``en_US.UTF-8`` locale was always requested. However, no startup
checking was performed to verify the locale was successfully configured.
minor_changes:
- Add a new "INVENTORY_UNPARSED_WARNING" flag add to hide the "No inventory
was parsed, only implicit localhost is available" warning
- "Add an 'action_plugin' field for modules in runtime.yml plugin_routing.\n\nThis
fixes module_defaults by supporting modules-as-redirected-actions\nwithout
redirecting module_defaults entries to the common action.\n\n.. code: yaml\n\n

values, instead of ``True`` and ``False`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78668).
- ansible-galaxy - Support resolvelib versions 0.6.x, 0.7.x, and 0.8.x. The

shell``.
- ansible-test - Alpine remotes now use ``sudo`` for tests, using ``doas`` only
for bootstrapping.
- ansible-test - An improved error message is shown when the download of a pip
bootstrap script fails. The download now uses ``urllib2`` instead of ``urllib``
on Python 2.
- ansible-test - Avoid using the ``mock_use_standalone_module`` setting for
unit tests running on Python 3.8 or later.
- ansible-test - Become support for remote instance provisioning is no longer
tied to a fixed list of platforms.
- ansible-test - Blocking mode is now enforced for stdin, stdout and stderr.
If any of these are non-blocking then ansible-test will exit during startup
with an error.
- ansible-test - Distribution specific test containers are now multi-arch, supporting
both x86_64 and aarch64.
- ansible-test - Distribution specific test containers no longer contain a ``/etc/ansible/hosts``
file.

- ansible-test - Remove support for Python 3.8 on the controller.
- ansible-test - Remove the ``opensuse15py2`` container.
- ansible-test - Support multiple pinned versions of the ``coverage`` module.
The version used now depends on the Python version in use.

instruction.
- ansible-test - The Alpine 3 test container has been updated to Alpine 3.16.0.
- ansible-test - The ``http-test-container`` container is now multi-arch, supporting
both x86_64 and aarch64.

directly instead
- blockinfile - The presence of the multiline flag (?m) in the regular expression
for insertafter opr insertbefore controls whether the match is done line by
line or with multiple lines (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75090).
- calls to listify_lookup_plugin_terms in core do not pass in loader/dataloader
anymore.
- collections - ``ansible-galaxy collection build`` can now utilize ``MANIFEST.in``
style directives from ``galaxy.yml`` instead of ``build_ignore`` effectively
inverting the logic from include by default, to exclude by default. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78422)
- config manager, move templating into main query function in config instead
of constants
- config manager, remove updates to configdata as it is mostly unused
- configuration entry INTERPRETER_PYTHON_DISTRO_MAP is now 'private' and won't
show up in normal configuration queries and docs, since it is not 'settable'
this avoids user confusion.

- documentation construction now gives more information on error.
- facts - add OSMC to Debian os_family mapping

existance of the resource
- plugin loader - add ansible_name and ansible_aliases attributes to plugin
objects/classes.
- systemd is now systemd_service to better reflect the scope of the module,
systemd is kept as an alias for backwards compatibility.

any exception, change shutilcopyfile to use module.atomic_move
- urls - Add support to specify SSL/TLS ciphers to use during a request (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78633)
- 'validate-modules - Allow ``type: raw`` on a module return type definition
for values that have a dynamic type'
- version output now includes the path to the python executable that Ansible
is running under
- yum_repository - do not give the ``async`` parameter a default value anymore,
since this option is deprecated in RHEL 8. This means that ``async = 1`` won't
be added to repository files if omitted, but it can still be set explicitly
if needed.

2.14.0b2:
changes:
breaking_changes:
- ansible-test validate-modules - Removed the ``missing-python-doc`` error code
in validate modules, ``missing-documentation`` is used instead for missing
PowerShell module documentation.
bugfixes:
- Fix reusing a connection in a task loop that uses a redirected or aliased
name - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78425
- Fix setting become activation in a task loop - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78425
- apt module should not traceback on invalid type given as package. issue 78663.
- known_hosts - do not return changed status when a non-existing key is removed
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78598)
- plugin loader, fix detection for existing configuration before initializing
for a plugin
minor_changes:
- ansible-test validate-modules - Added support for validating module documentation
stored in a sidecar file alongside the module (``{module}.yml`` or ``{module}.yaml``).
Previously these files were ignored and documentation had to be placed in
``{module}.py``.
- apt_repository will use the trust repo directories in order of preference
(more appropriate to less) as they exist on the target.

changes:
bugfixes:
- PowerShell - Remove some code which is no longer valid for dotnet 5+
- ansible-galaxy - Enabled the ``data`` tarfile filter during role installation
for Python versions that support it. A probing mechanism is used to avoid
Python versions with a broken implementation.
- ansible-test - Always use ansible-test managed entry points for ansible-core
CLI tools when not running from source. This fixes issues where CLI entry
points created during install are not compatible with ansible-test.
- tarfile - handle data filter deprecation warning message for extract and extractall
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80832).

2.14.2rc1:
changes:
bugfixes:
- Correctly count rescued tasks in play recap (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79711)
- Fix using ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` in conjunction with collections in requirements
files which specify a specific ``source`` that isn't in the configured servers.
- Fix using ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` when downloading tarballs from Galaxy servers
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79557).
- Module and role argument validation - include the valid suboption choices
in the error when an invalid suboption is provided.
- ansible-doc now will correctly display short descriptions on listing filters/tests
no matter the directory sorting.
- ansible-inventory will not explicitly sort groups/hosts anymore, giving a
chance (depending on output format) to match the order in the input sources.
- ansible-test - Added a work-around for a traceback under Python 3.11 when
completing certain command line options.
- ansible-test - Avoid using ``exec`` after container startup when possible.
This improves container startup performance and avoids intermittent startup
issues with some old containers.
- ansible-test - Connection attempts to managed remote instances no longer abort
on ``Permission denied`` errors.
- ansible-test - Detection for running in a Podman or Docker container has been
fixed to detect more scenarios. The new detection relies on ``/proc/self/mountinfo``
instead of ``/proc/self/cpuset``. Detection now works with custom cgroups
and private cgroup namespaces.
- ansible-test - Fix validate-modules error when retrieving PowerShell argspec
when retrieved inside a Cmdlet
- ansible-test - Handle server errors when executing the ``docker info`` command.
- ansible-test - Multiple containers now work under Podman without specifying
the ``--docker-network`` option.
- ansible-test - Pass the ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` environment variable through to
container commands.
- ansible-test - Perform PyPI proxy configuration after instances are ready
and bootstrapping has been completed. Only target instances are affected,
as controller instances were already handled this way. This avoids proxy configuration
errors when target instances are not yet ready for use.
- ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat inspections of the same container
image.
- ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat pulls of the same container image.
- ansible-test - Prevent concurrent execution of cached methods.
- ansible-test - Show the exception type when reporting errors during instance
provisioning.
- ansible-test sanity - correctly report invalid YAML in validate-modules (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75837).
- argument spec validation - again report deprecated parameters for Python-based
modules. This was accidentally removed in ansible-core 2.11 when argument
spec validation was refactored (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79680,
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79681).
- argument spec validation - ensure that deprecated aliases in suboptions are
also reported (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
- argument spec validation - fix warning message when two aliases of the same
option are used for suboptions to also mention the option's name they are
in (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
- connection local now avoids traceback on invalid user being used to execuet
ansible (valid in host, but not in container).
- file - touch action in check mode was always returning ok. Fix now evaluates
the different conditions and returns the appropriate changed status. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79360)
- get_url - Ensure we are passing ciphers to all url_get calls (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79717)
- plugin filter now works with rejectlist as documented (still falls back to
blacklist if used).
- uri - improve JSON content type detection
known_issues:
- ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container
host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing
documentation.
- ansible-test - Custom containers with ``VOLUME`` instructions may be unable
to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the ``VOLUME``
instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause
``ansible-test`` to emit a warning.
- ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run
containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking
issues to continue using ``ansible-test`` with Podman.
- ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux
to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
major_changes:
- ansible-test - Docker Desktop on WSL2 is now supported (additional configuration
required).
- ansible-test - Docker and Podman are now supported on hosts with cgroup v2
unified. Previously only cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 hybrid were supported.
- ansible-test - Podman now works on container hosts without systemd. Previously
only some containers worked, while others required rootfull or rootless Podman,
but would not work with both. Some containers did not work at all.
- ansible-test - Podman on WSL2 is now supported.
- ansible-test - When additional cgroup setup is required on the container host,
this will be automatically detected. Instructions on how to configure the
host will be provided in the error message shown.
minor_changes:
- ansible-test - A new ``audit`` option is available when running custom containers.
This option can be used to indicate whether a container requires the AUDIT_WRITE
capability. The default is ``required``, which most containers will need when
using Podman. If necessary, the ``none`` option can be used to opt-out of
the capability. This has no effect on Docker, which always provides the capability.
- ansible-test - A new ``cgroup`` option is available when running custom containers.
This option can be used to indicate a container requires cgroup v1 or that
it does not use cgroup. The default behavior assumes the container works with
cgroup v2 (as well as v1).
- ansible-test - Additional log details are shown when containers fail to start
or SSH connections to containers fail.
- ansible-test - Connection failures to remote provisioned hosts now show failure
details as a warning.
- ansible-test - Containers included with ansible-test no longer disable seccomp
by default.
- ansible-test - Failure to connect to a container over SSH now results in a
clear error. Previously tests would be attempted even after initial connection
attempts failed.
- ansible-test - Integration tests can be excluded from retries triggered by
the ``--retry-on-error`` option by adding the ``retry/never`` alias. This
is useful for tests that cannot pass on a retry or are too slow to make retries
useful.
- ansible-test - More details are provided about an instance when provisioning
fails.
- ansible-test - Reduce the polling limit for SSHD startup in containers from
60 retries to 10. The one second delay between retries remains in place.
- ansible-test - SSH connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to CentOS 6 containers now
work without additional configuration. However, clients older than OpenSSH
7.0 can no longer connect to CentOS 6 containers as a result. The container
must have ``centos6`` in the image name for this work-around to be applied.
- ansible-test - SSH shell connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to ansible-test provisioned
network instances now work without additional configuration. However, clients
older than OpenSSH 7.0 can no longer open shell sessions for ansible-test
provisioned network instances as a result.
- ansible-test - The ``ansible-test env`` command now detects and reports the
container ID if running in a container.
- ansible-test - Unit tests now support network disconnect by default when running
under Podman. Previously this feature only worked by default under Docker.
- ansible-test - Use ``stop --time 0`` followed by ``rm`` to remove ephemeral
containers instead of ``rm -f``. This speeds up teardown of ephemeral containers.
- ansible-test - Warnings are now shown when using containers that were built
with VOLUME instructions.
- ansible-test - When setting the max open files for containers, the container
host's limit will be checked. If the host limit is lower than the preferred
value, it will be used and a warning will be shown.
- ansible-test - When using Podman, ansible-test will detect if the loginuid
used in containers is incorrect. When this occurs a warning is displayed and
the container is run with the AUDIT_CONTROL capability. Previously containers
would fail under this situation, with no useful warnings or errors given.

breaking_changes:
- ansible-test - Integration tests which depend on specific file permissions
when running in an ansible-test managed host environment may require changes.
Tests that require permissions other than ``755`` or ``644`` may need to be
updated to set the necessary permissions as part of the test run.
bugfixes:
- Fix ``MANIFEST.in`` to exclude unwanted files in the ``packaging/`` directory.
- Fix ``MANIFEST.in`` to include ``*.md`` files in the ``test/support/`` directory.
- Fix an issue where the value of ``become`` was ignored when used on a role
used as a dependency in ``main/meta.yml`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79777)
- '``ansible_eval_concat`` - avoid redundant unsafe wrapping of templated strings
converted to Python types'
- ansible-galaxy role info - fix unhandled AttributeError by catching the correct
exception.
- ansible-test - Always indicate the Python version being used before installing
requirements. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72855
- ansible-test - Exclude ansible-core vendored Python packages from ansible-test
payloads.
- ansible-test - Integration test target prefixes defined in a ``tests/integration/target-prefixes.{group}``
file can now contain an underscore (``_``) character. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79225
- ansible-test - Removed pointless comparison in diff evaluation logic.
- ansible-test - Set ``PYLINTHOME`` for the ``pylint`` sanity test to prevent
failures due to ``pylint`` checking for the existence of an obsolete home
directory.
- ansible-test - Support loading of vendored Python packages from ansible-core.
- ansible-test - Use consistent file permissions when delegating tests to a
container or remote host. Files with any execute bit set will use permissions
``755``. All other files will use permissions ``644``. (Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75079)
- copy - fix creating the dest directory in check mode with remote_src=True
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78611).
- copy - fix reporting changes to file attributes in check mode with remote_src=True
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77957).
minor_changes:

and into ansible-test.
- ansible-test - Removed the ``--keep-git`` sanity test option, which was limited
to testing ansible-core itself.

2.14.5rc1:
changes:
bugfixes:
- Windows - Display a warning if the module failed to cleanup any temporary
files rather than failing the task. The warning contains a brief description
of what failed to be deleted.
- Windows - Ensure the module temp directory contains more unique values to
avoid conflicts with concurrent runs - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80294
- Windows - Improve temporary file cleanup used by modules. Will use a more
reliable delete operation on Windows Server 2016 and newer to delete files
that might still be open by other software like Anti Virus scanners. There
are still scenarios where a file or directory cannot be deleted but the new
method should work in more scenarios.
- ansible-doc - stop generating wrong module URLs for module see-alsos. The
URLs for modules in ansible.builtin do now work, and URLs for modules outside
ansible.builtin are no longer added (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80280).
- ansible-galaxy - Improve retries for collection installs, to properly retry,
and extend retry logic to common URL related connection errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80170
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80174)
- ansible-galaxy - reduce API calls to servers by fetching signatures only for
final candidates.
- ansible-test - Add support for ``argcomplete`` version 3.
- jinja2_native - fix intermittent 'could not find job' failures when a value
of ``ansible_job_id`` from a result of an async task was inadvertently changed
during execution; to prevent this a format of ``ansible_job_id`` was changed.
- password lookup now correctly reads stored ident fields.
- pep517 build backend - Use the documented ``import_module`` import from ``importlib``.
- roles - Fix templating ``public``, ``allow_duplicates`` and ``rolespec_validate``
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80304).

release_date: '2023-05-22'
2.14.6rc1:
changes:
bugfixes:
- Display - Defensively configure writing to stdout and stderr with the replace
encoding error handler that will replace invalid characters (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80258)
- Properly disable ``jinja2_native`` in the template module when jinja2 override
is used in the template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80605)
- ansible-galaxy - fix installing signed collections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80648).
- ansible-galaxy collection verify - fix verifying signed collections when the
keyring is not configured.
- ansible-test - Fix handling of timeouts exceeding one day.
- ansible-test - Fix various cases where the test timeout could expire without
terminating the tests.
- ansible-test - When bootstrapping remote FreeBSD instances, use the OS packaged
``setuptools`` instead of installing the latest version from PyPI.
- pep517 build backend - Copy symlinks when copying the source tree. This avoids
tracebacks in various scenarios, such as when a venv is present in the source
tree.
minor_changes:
- ansible-test - Allow float values for the ``--timeout`` option to the ``env``
command. This simplifies testing.
- ansible-test - Refactored ``env`` command logic and timeout handling.
- ansible-test - Use ``datetime.datetime.now`` with ``tz`` specified instead
of ``datetime.datetime.utcnow``.

- 2.14.9_summary.yaml
release_date: '2023-08-14'
2.14.9rc1:
changes:
bugfixes:
- Exclude internal options from man pages and docs.
- Fix ``ansible-config init`` man page option indentation.
- The ``ansible-config init`` command now has a documentation description.
- The ``ansible-galaxy collection download`` command now has a documentation
description.
- The ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` command documentation is now visible
(previously hidden by a decorator).
- The ``ansible-galaxy collection verify`` command now has a documentation description.
- The ``ansible-galaxy role install`` command documentation is now visible (previously
hidden by a decorator).
- The ``ansible-inventory`` command command now has a documentation description
(previously used as the epilog).
- Update module_utils.urls unit test to work with cryptography >= 41.0.0.
- When generating man pages, use ``func`` to find the command function instead
of looking it up by the command name.
- ansible-test - Pre-build a PyYAML wheel before installing requirements to
avoid a potential Cython build failure.
- man page build - Sub commands of ``ansible-galaxy role`` and ``ansible-galaxy
collection`` are now documented.
minor_changes:
- Removed ``exclude`` and ``recursive-exclude`` commands for generated files
from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These excludes were unnecessary since releases
are expected to be built with a clean worktree.
- Removed ``exclude`` commands for sanity test files from the ``MANIFEST.in``
file. These tests were previously excluded because they did not pass when
run from an sdist. However, sanity tests are not expected to pass from an
sdist, so excluding some (but not all) of the failing tests makes little sense.
- Removed redundant ``include`` commands from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These
includes either duplicated default behavior or another command.
- The ``ansible-core`` sdist no longer contains pre-generated man pages. Instead,
a ``packaging/cli-doc/build.py`` script is included in the sdist. This script
can generate man pages and standalone RST documentation for ``ansible-core``
CLI programs.
- The ``docs`` and ``examples`` directories are no longer included in the ``ansible-core``
sdist. These directories have been moved to the https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation
repository.
- The minimum required ``setuptools`` version is now 45.2.0, as it is the oldest
version to support Python 3.10.
- Use ``include`` where ``recursive-include`` is unnecessary in the ``MANIFEST.in``
file.
- Use ``package_data`` instead of ``include_package_data`` for ``setup.cfg``
to avoid ``setuptools`` warnings.
- ansible-test - Update the logic used to detect when ``ansible-test`` is running
from source.
