Recreate upstream branch stateupstream/second-failed-recreation-attempt
Work around that version control is behind the actual package version in trixie. As is obvious from the lacking commits in the salsa repository and also visible on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ansible-core with the report from vcswatch stating: VCS repository is not up to date. This commit was generated using `gbp import-dsc`, which should hopefully have made it a squashed representation on the same set of changes on the uploader's unpushed git tree.

breaking_changes:
- - Any plugin using the config system and the `cli` entry to use the `timeout`
- from the command line, will see the value change if the use had configured
- it in any of the lower precedence methods. If relying on this behaviour to
- consume the global/generic timeout from the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant, please
- consult the documentation on plugin configuration to add the overlaping entries.
- - ansible-test - Test plugins that rely on containers no longer support reusing
- running containers. The previous behavior was an undocumented, untested feature.
- - service module will not permanently configure variables/flags for openbsd
- when doing enable/disable operation anymore, this module was never meant to
- do this type of work, just to manage the service state itself. A rcctl_config
- or similar module should be created and used instead.
+ - 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

+ action_plugin field can be a redirected action plugin, as\nit is resolved
+ normally.\n\nUsing the modified runtime.yml, the example task will only use\nthe
+ ns.coll.eos_facts defaults.\n"
+ - Add support for parsing ``-a`` module options as JSON and not just key=value
+ arguments - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78112
+ - Added Kylin Linux Advanced Server OS in RedHat OS Family.
+ - Allow ``when`` conditionals to be used on ``flush_handlers`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77616)
+ - Allow meta tasks to be used as handlers.
+ - Display - The display class will now proxy calls to Display.display via the
+ queue from forks/workers to be handled by the parent process for actual display.
+ This reduces some reliance on the fork start method and improves reliability
+ of displaying messages.
+ - Jinja version test - Add pep440 version_type for version test. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78288)
+ - Loops - Add new ``loop_control.extended_allitems`` to allow users to disable
+ tracking all loop items for each loop (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75216)
+ - NetBSD - Add uptime_seconds fact
+ - Provide a `utc` option for strftime to show time in UTC rather than local
+ time
+ - Raise a proper error when ``include_role`` or ``import_role`` is used as a
+ handler.
+ - Remove the ``AnsibleContext.resolve`` method as its override is not necessary.
+ Furthermore the ability to override the ``resolve`` method was deprecated
+ in Jinja 3.0.0 and removed in Jinja 3.1.0.
+ - Utilize @classmethod and @property together to form classproperty (Python

+ - ansible-connection now supports verbosity directly on cli
+ - ansible-console added 'collections' command to match playbook keyword.
+ - ansible-doc - remove some of the manual formatting, and use YAML more uniformly.

+ 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 - Remove support for Python 2.7 on provisioned FreeBSD instances.
+ - 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.

+ - apt_repository remove dependency on apt-key and use gpg + /usr/share/keyrings
+ 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'

+ 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.
+ - templating - removed internal template cache
+ - uri - cleanup write_file method, remove overkill safety checks and report
+ 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.

+ 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.

bugfixes:
- - Allow for searching handler subdir for included task via include_role (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81722)
- - AnsibleModule.run_command - Only use selectors when needed, and rely on Python
- stdlib subprocess for the simple task of collecting stdout/stderr when prompt
- matching is not required.
- - Display - Defensively configure writing to stdout and stderr with a custom
- encoding error handler that will replace invalid characters while providing
- a deprecation warning that non-utf8 text will result in an error in a future
- version.
- - Exclude internal options from man pages and docs.
- - Fix ``ansible-config init`` man page option indentation.
- - Fix ``ast`` deprecation warnings for ``Str`` and ``value.s`` when using Python
- 3.12.
- - Fix exceptions caused by various inputs when performing arg splitting or parsing
- key/value pairs. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46379
- and issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/61497
- - Fix incorrect parsing of multi-line Jinja2 blocks when performing arg splitting
- or parsing key/value pairs.
- - Fix post-validating looped task fields so the strategy uses the correct values
- after task execution.
- - Fixed `pip` module failure in case of usage quotes for `virtualenv_command`
- option for the venv command. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76372)
- - From issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80880, when notifying
- a handler from another handler, handler notifications must be registered immediately
- as the flush_handler call is not recursive.
- - Import ``FILE_ATTRIBUTES`` from ``ansible.module_utils.common.file`` in ``ansible.module_utils.basic``
- instead of defining it twice.
- - Inventory scripts parser not treat exception when getting hostsvar (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81103)
- - On Python 3 use datetime methods ``fromtimestamp`` and ``now`` with UTC timezone
- instead of ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow``, which are deprecated in Python
- 3.12.
- - PluginLoader - fix Jinja plugin performance issues (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79652)
- PowerShell - Remove some code which is no longer valid for dotnet 5+
- - Prevent running same handler multiple times when included via ``include_role``
- (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73643)
- - Prompting - add a short sleep between polling for user input to reduce CPU
- consumption (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81516).
- - Properly disable ``jinja2_native`` in the template module when jinja2 override
- is used in the template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80605)
- - Remove unreachable parser error for removed ``static`` parameter of ``include_role``
- - Replace uses of ``configparser.ConfigParser.readfp()`` which was removed in
- Python 3.12 with ``configparser.ConfigParser.read_file()`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81656)
- - Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union``
- now always return a ``list``, never a ``set``. Previously, a ``set`` would
- be returned if the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``, instead of
- a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
- - Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union``
- now use set operations when the given items are hashable. Previously, list
- operations were performed unless the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``,
- instead of a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
- - Switch result queue from a ``multiprocessing.queues.Queue` to ``multiprocessing.queues.SimpleQueue``,
- primarily to allow properly handling pickling errors, to prevent an infinite
- hang waiting for task results

- on OpenBSD. Before it only updated the permanent hostname (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80520).
- - 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.
- - '``StrategyBase._process_pending_results`` - create a ``Templar`` on demand
- for templating ``changed_when``/``failed_when``.'
- - '``ansible-galaxy`` now considers all collection paths when identifying which
- collection requirements are already installed. Use the ``COLLECTIONS_PATHS``
- and ``COLLECTIONS_SCAN_SYS_PATHS`` config options to modify these. Previously
- only the install path was considered when resolving the candidates. The install
- path will remain the only one potentially modified. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79767,
- https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81163)'
- - '``ansible.module_utils.service`` - ensure binary data transmission in ``daemonize()``'

- date to be used during ansiballz unpacking leading to a zip file error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80089)
- - ansible terminal color settings were incorrectly limited to 16 options via
- 'choices', removing so all 256 can be accessed.

- keyring is not configured.
- - ansible-test - Add support for ``argcomplete`` version 3.

CLI tools when not running from source. This fixes issues where CLI entry
points created during install are not compatible with ansible-test.

- instead of ``git merge-base --fork-point <branch>`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79734).
- - ansible-vault - fail when the destination file location is not writable before
- performing encryption (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81455).

- signatures AND possibly to recover from when keys are missing.
- - dnf5 - fix module and package names in the message following failed module
- respawn attempt

- (pythonic) matching the documented examples.
- - first found lookup, fixed an issue with subsequent items clobbering information
- from previous ones.
- - first_found lookup now gets 'untemplated' loop entries and handles templating
- itself as task_executor was removing even 'templatable' entries and breaking
- functionality. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70772
- - galaxy - check if the target for symlink exists (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81586).
- - galaxy - cross check the collection type and collection source (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79463).
- - gather_facts parallel option was doing the reverse of what was stated, now
- it does run modules in parallel when True and serially when False.
- - handlers - fix ``v2_playbook_on_notify`` callback not being called when notifying
- handlers
- - handlers - the ``listen`` keyword can affect only one handler with the same

- not installed) for the ``bcrypt`` algorithm.
- - 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.
- - pep517 build backend - Use the documented ``import_module`` import from ``importlib``.
- - pip module - Update module to prefer use of the python ``packaging`` and ``importlib.metadata``

- - Deprecated the env var ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS``, use the singular form
- ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH`` instead
- - Support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 has been removed as the support
- end of life from Microsoft is October 10th 2023. These versions of Windows
- will no longer be tested in this Ansible release and it cannot be guaranteed
- that they will continue to work going forward.
- - '``STRING_CONVERSION_ACTION`` config option is deprecated as it is no longer
- used in the Ansible Core code base.'
- - the 'smart' option for setting a connection plugin is being removed as its
- main purpose (choosing between ssh and paramiko) is now irrelevant.
- - vault and unfault filters - the undocumented ``vaultid`` parameter is deprecated
- and will be removed in ansible-core 2.20. Use ``vault_id`` instead.
- - yum_repository - deprecated parameter 'keepcache' (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78693).
- known_issues:
- - ansible-galaxy - dies in the middle of installing a role when that role contains
- Java inner classes (files with $ in the file name). This is by design, to
- exclude temporary or backup files. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81553).
- - ansible-test - The ``pep8`` sanity test is unable to detect f-string spacing
- issues (E201, E202) on Python 3.10 and 3.11. They are correctly detected under
- Python 3.12. See (https://github.com/PyCQA/pycodestyle/issues/1190).
minor_changes:
- - Add Python type hints to the Display class (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80841)
- - Add ``GALAXY_COLLECTIONS_PATH_WARNING`` option to disable the warning given
- by ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` when installing a collection to a
- path that isn't in the configured collection paths.
- - Add ``python3.12`` to the default ``INTERPRETER_PYTHON_FALLBACK`` list.
- - Add ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow`` to ``ansible.module_utils.compat.datetime``
- to return fixed offset datetime objects.
- - Add a general ``GALAXY_SERVER_TIMEOUT`` config option for distribution servers
- (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79833).
- - Added Python type annotation to connection plugins
- - CLI argument parsing - Automatically prepend to the help of CLI arguments
- that support being specified multiple times. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22396)
- - DEFAULT_TRANSPORT now defaults to 'ssh', the old 'smart' option is being deprecated
- as versions of OpenSSH without control persist are basically not present anymore.
- - Documentation for set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference``
- and ``union`` now states that the returned list items are in arbitrary order.
- - Record ``removal_date`` in runtime metadata as a string instead of a date.
- - Remove the ``CleansingNodeVisitor`` class and its usage due to the templating
- changes that made it superfluous. Also simplify the ``Conditional`` class.
- - 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 66.1.0, as it is the oldest
- version to support Python 3.12.
- - Update ``ansible_service_mgr`` fact to include init system for SMGL OS family
- - Use ``ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils._text``.
- - Use ``importlib.resources.abc.TraversableResources`` instead of deprecated
- ``importlib.abc.TraversableResources`` where available (https:/github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81082).
- - 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.
- - Utilize gpg check provided internally by the ``transaction.run`` method as
- oppose to calling it manually.
- - '``Templar`` - do not add the ``dict`` constructor to ``globals`` as all required
- Jinja2 versions already do so'
- - ansible-doc - allow to filter listing of collections and metadata dump by
- more than one collection (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81450).
- - ansible-galaxy - Add a plural option to improve ignoring multiple signature
- error status codes when installing or verifying collections. A space-separated
- list of error codes can follow --ignore-signature-status-codes in addition
- to specifying --ignore-signature-status-code multiple times (for example,
- ``--ignore-signature-status-codes NO_PUBKEY UNEXPECTED``).
- - ansible-galaxy - Remove internal configuration argument ``v3`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80721)
- - ansible-galaxy - add note to the collection dependency resolver error message
- about pre-releases if ``--pre`` was not provided (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80048).
- - ansible-galaxy - used to crash out with a "Errno 20 Not a directory" error
- when extracting files from a role when hitting a file with an illegal name
- (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81553). Now it gives a warning identifying
- the culprit file and the rule violation (e.g., ``my$class.jar`` has a ``$``
- in the name) before crashing out, giving the user a chance to remove the invalid
- file and try again. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81555).

- in collections. Previously any Python file in a collection was checked for
- ``urlopen`` usage.
- - ansible-test - The ``use-compat-six`` sanity test is now limited to plugins

breaking_changes:
- assert - Nested templating may result in an inability for the conditional
to be evaluated. See the porting guide for more information.
bugfixes:
- - Fix issue where an ``include_tasks`` handler in a role was not able to locate
- a file in ``tasks/`` when ``tasks_from`` was used as a role entry point and
- ``main.yml`` was not present (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82241)
- - Plugin loader does not dedupe nor cache filter/test plugins by file basename,
- but full path name.
- - Restoring the ability of filters/tests can have same file base name but different
- tests/filters defined inside.
- ansible-pull now will expand relative paths for the ``-d|--directory`` option
is now expanded before use.
- - ansible-pull will now correctly handle become and connection password file
- options for ansible-playbook.
- - flush_handlers - properly handle a handler failure in a nested block when
- ``force_handlers`` is set (http://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81532)
- - module no_log will no longer affect top level booleans, for example ``no_log_module_parameter='a'``
- will no longer hide ``changed=False`` as a 'no log value' (matches 'a').
- - role params now have higher precedence than host facts again, matching documentation,
- this had unintentionally changed in 2.15.
- - wait_for should not handle 'non mmapable files' again.
+ - ansible-test - Fix parsing of cgroup entries which contain a ``:`` in the
+ path (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81977).
+ minor_changes:
+ - ansible-test - Windows 2012 and 2012-R2 instances are now requested from Azure

bugfixes:
- - Run all handlers with the same ``listen`` topic, even when notified from another
- handler (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82363).
- - '``ansible-galaxy role import`` - fix using the ``role_name`` in a standalone
- role''s ``galaxy_info`` metadata by disabling automatic removal of the ``ansible-role-``
- prefix. This matches the behavior of the Galaxy UI which also no longer implicitly
- removes the ``ansible-role-`` prefix. Use the ``--role-name`` option or add
- a ``role_name`` to the ``galaxy_info`` dictionary in the role''s ``meta/main.yml``
- to use an alternate role name.'
- - '``ansible-test sanity --test runtime-metadata`` - add ``action_plugin`` as
- a valid field for modules in the schema (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82562).'
- - ansible-config init will now dedupe ini entries from plugins.
- - ansible-galaxy role import - exit with 1 when the import fails (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82175).
- - ansible-galaxy role install - normalize tarfile paths and symlinks using ``ansible.utils.path.unfrackpath``
- and consider them valid as long as the realpath is in the tarfile's role directory
- (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
- - delegate_to when set to an empty or undefined variable will now give a proper
- error.
- - dwim functions for lookups should be better at detectging role context even
- in abscense of tasks/main.
- - roles, code cleanup and performance optimization of dependencies, now cached, and
- ``public`` setting is now determined once, at role instantiation.
- - roles, the ``static`` property is now correctly set, this will fix issues
- with ``public`` and ``DEFAULT_PRIVATE_ROLE_VARS`` controls on exporting vars.
- - unsafe data - Enable directly using ``AnsibleUnsafeText`` with Python ``pathlib``
- (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82414)

+ - 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.

+ 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.
