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.

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``.

(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. - release_summary: '| Release Date: 2023-01-23 - - | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__ - - ' - codename: C'mon Everybody - fragments: - - 75837-validate-modules-invalid-yaml.yml - - 76578-fix-role-argspec-suboptions-error.yml - - 79525-fix-file-touch-check-mode-status.yaml - - 79561-fix-a-g-global-ignore-certs-cfg.yml - - 79681-argspec-param-deprecation.yml - - 79711-fix-play-stats-rescued.yml - - 79717-get-url-ciphers.yml - - 79740-aliases-warnings-deprecations-in-suboptions.yml - - adoc_fix_list.yml - - ansible-test-container-management.yml - - ansible-test-fix-python-3.11-traceback.yml - - ansible-test-pypi-proxy-fix.yml - - better-maybe-json-uri.yml - - local_bad_user.yml - - rejectlist_fix.yml - - unsorted.yml - - v2.14.2rc1_summary.yaml - - validate-module-ps-cmdlet.yml - release_date: '2023-01-23' - 2.14.3: - changes: - release_summary: '| Release Date: 2023-02-27 - - | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__ - - ' - codename: C'mon Everybody - fragments: - - v2.14.3_summary.yaml - release_date: '2023-02-27' - 2.14.3rc1: + 2.16.3: changes: - bugfixes: - - Ansible.Basic.cs - Ignore compiler warning (reported as an error) when running - under PowerShell 7.3.x. - - Fix conditionally notifying ``include_tasks` handlers when ``force_handlers`` - is used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79776) - - TaskExecutor - don't ignore templated _raw_params that k=v parser failed to - parse (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862) - - ansible-galaxy - fix installing collections in git repositories/directories - which contain a MANIFEST.json file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79796). - - ansible-test - Support Podman 4.4.0+ by adding the ``SYS_CHROOT`` capability - when running containers. - - ansible-test - fix warning message about failing to run an image to include - the image name - - strategy plugins now correctly identify bad registered variables, even on - skip. - minor_changes: - - Make using blocks as handlers a parser error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79968) - - 'ansible-test - Specify the configuration file location required by test plugins - when the config file is not found.

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. - release_summary: '| Release Date: 2023-08-07 + - ansible-test - Add a work-around for permission denied errors when using ``pytest + >= 8`` on multi-user systems with an installed version of ``ansible-test``. + release_summary: '| Release Date: 2024-03-18 - | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.14/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.14.html>`__ + | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.16/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.16.html>`__ ' - codename: C'mon Everybody + codename: All My Love fragments: - - 2.14.9rc1_summary.yaml - - add-missing-cli-docs.yml - - ansible-test-layout-detection.yml - - ansible-test-minimum-setuptools.yml - - ansible-test-pyyaml-build.yml - - fix-setuptools-warnings.yml - - man-page-subcommands.yml - - manifest-in-cleanup.yml - - missing-doc-func.yml - - omit-man-pages-from-sdist.yml - - remove-docs-examples.yml - - suppressed-options.yml - - urls-unit-test-latest-cryptography.yml - release_date: '2023-08-07' + - 2.16.5rc1_summary.yaml + - 82675-fix-unsafe-templating-leading-to-type-error.yml + - 82708-unsafe-plugin-name-error.yml + - ansible-test-pytest-8.yml + - py-tmpl-hardening.yml + - winrm-timeout.yml + release_date: '2024-03-18' |
