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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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>`__ ' - security_fixes: - - ANSIBLE_NO_LOG - Address issue where ANSIBLE_NO_LOG was ignored (CVE-2024-0690) - codename: All My Love + codename: C'mon Everybody fragments: - - 2.16.3rc1_summary.yaml - - 82175-fix-ansible-galaxy-role-import-rc.yml - - 82363-multiple-handlers-with-recursive-notification.yml - - ansible-galaxy-role-install-symlink.yml - - cve-2024-0690.yml - - dedupe_config_init.yml - - delegate_to_invalid.yml - - dwim_is_role_fix.yml - - fix-default-ansible-galaxy-role-import-name.yml - - fix-runtime-metadata-modules-action_plugin.yml - - role_fixes.yml - - unsafe-intern.yml - release_date: '2024-01-22' - 2.16.4: + - 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: 2024-02-26 + release_summary: '| Release Date: 2023-02-27 - | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.16/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.16.html>`__ + | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__ ' - codename: All My Love + codename: C'mon Everybody fragments: - - 2.16.4_summary.yaml - release_date: '2024-02-26' - 2.16.4rc1: + - v2.14.3_summary.yaml + release_date: '2023-02-27' + 2.14.3rc1: changes: bugfixes: - - Fix loading vars_plugins in roles (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82239). - - expect - fix argument spec error using timeout=null (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80982). - - include_vars - fix calculating ``depth`` relative to the root and ensure all - files are included (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80987). - - templating - ensure syntax errors originating from a template being compiled - into Python code object result in a failure (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82606) - release_summary: '| Release Date: 2024-02-19 + - 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.
