+The ``inventory`` object passed to ``parse`` has helpful methods for populating inventory.
+
+``add_group`` adds a group to inventory if it doesn't already exist. It takes the group name as the only positional argument.
+
+``add_child`` adds a group or host that exists in inventory to a parent group in inventory. It takes two positional arguments, the name of the parent group and the name of the child group or host.
+
+``add_host`` adds a host to inventory if it doesn't already exist, optionally to a specific group. It takes the host name as the first argument and accepts two optional keyword arguments, ``group`` and ``port``. ``group`` is the name of a group in inventory, and ``port`` is an integer.
+
+``set_variable`` adds a variable to a group or host in inventory. It takes three positional arguments: the name of the group or host, the name of the variable, and the value of the variable.
+

NAME = 'ns.coll.myplugin'
-The three main options from the ``constructed`` documentation fragment are ``compose``, ``keyed_groups``, and ``groups``. See the ``constructed`` inventory plugin for examples on using these. ``compose`` is a dictionary of variable names and Jinja2 expressions. Once a host is added to inventory and any initial variables have been set, call the method ``_set_composite_vars`` to add composed host variables. If this is done before adding ``keyed_groups`` and ``groups``, the group generation will be able to use the composed variables.
+There are three main options in the ``constructed`` documentation fragment:
+
+``compose`` creates variables using Jinja2 expressions. This is implemented by calling the ``_set_composite_vars`` method.
+``keyed_groups`` creates groups of hosts based on variable values. This is implemented by calling the ``_add_host_to_keyed_groups`` method.
+``groups`` creates groups based on Jinja2 conditionals. This is implemented by calling the ``_add_host_to_composed_groups`` method.
+
+Each method should be called for every host added to inventory. Three positional arguments are required: the constructed option, a dictionary of variables, and a host name. Calling the method ``_set_composite_vars`` first will allow ``keyed_groups`` and ``groups`` to use the composed variables.
+
+By default, undefined variables are ignored. This is permitted by default for ``compose`` so you can make the variable definitions depend on variables that will be populated later in a play from other sources. For groups, it allows using variables that are not always present without having to use the ``default`` filter. To support configuring undefined variables to be an error, pass the constructed option ``strict`` to each of the methods as a keyword argument.
+
+``keyed_groups`` and ``groups`` use any variables already associated with the host (for example, from an earlier inventory source). ``_add_host_to_keyed_groups`` and ``add_host_to_composed_groups`` can turn this off by passing the keyword argument ``fetch_hostvars``.

-- modules and plugins communicating directly with the Docker daemon - when connecting by SSH and not using ``use_ssh_client=true``, reject unknown host keys instead of accepting them. This is only a breaking change relative to older community.docker 3.0.0 pre-releases or with respect to Docker SDK for Python < 6.0.0. Docker SDK for Python 6.0.0 will also include this change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/434).

-
-- bgp_af - Add the route_advertise_list dictionary to the argspec to replace the deleted, obsolete advertise_prefix attribute used for SONiC 3.x images on the 1.x branch of this collection. This change corresponds to a SONiC 4.0 OC YANG REST compliance change for the BGP AF REST API. It enables specification of a route map in conjunction with each route advertisement prefix (https://github.com/ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic/pull/63).
-- bgp_af - remove the obsolete 'advertise_prefix' attribute from argspec and config code. This and subsequent co-req replacement with the new route advertise list argument structure require corresponding changes in playbooks previoulsly used for configuring route advertise prefixes for SONiC 3.x images. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic/pull/60)
-- bgp_neighbors - Replace the previously defined standalone "bfd" attribute with a bfd dictionary containing multiple attributes. This change corresponds to the revised SONiC 4.x implementation of OC YANG compatible REST APIs. Playbooks previously using the bfd attributes for SONiC 3.x images must be modified for useon SONiC 4.0 images to use the new definition for the bfd attribute argspec structure (https://github.com/ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic/pull/72).

-- 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.

-amazon.aws

-
-- amazon.aws collection - The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for ``botocore<1.20.0`` and ``boto3<1.17.0``. Most modules will continue to work with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatability with older versions of the SDK is not guaranteed and will not be tested. When using older versions of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/574).

+- The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change. Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
+- newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).

- mysql_db - the ``pipefail`` argument's default value will be changed to ``true`` in community.mysql 4.0.0. If your target machines do not use ``bash`` as a default interpreter, set ``pipefail`` to ``false`` explicitly. However, we strongly recommend setting up ``bash`` as a default and ``pipefail=true`` as it will protect you from getting broken dumps you don't know about (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/407).
+community.network
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+- The community.network collection no longer supports Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10. While we take no active measures to prevent usage, we will remove compatibility code and other compatility measures that will effectively prevent using most content from this collection with Ansible 2.9, and some content of this collection with ansible-base 2.10. Both Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to ansible-core 2.11 or later as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/426).
