option. - - ansible-test now supports the ``--remote power/centos/7`` platform option. - - ansible-test now validates the schema of ansible_builtin_runtime.yml and a - collections meta/runtime.yml file. - - ansible-test provides clearer error messages when failing to detect the provider - to use with the ``--remote`` option. - - ansible-test provisioning of network devices for ``network-integration`` has - been updated to use collections. - - ansible_native_concat() - use ``to_text`` function rather than Jinja2's ``text_type`` - which has been removed in Jinja2 master branch. - - apt - Implemented an exponential backoff behaviour when retrying to update - the cache with new params ``update_cache_retry_max_delay`` and ``update_cache_retries`` - to control the behavior. - - apt_repository - Implemented an exponential backoff behaviour when retrying - to update the apt cache with new params ``update_cache_retry_max_delay`` and - ``update_cache_retries`` to control the behavior. - - blockinfile - Update module documentation to clarify insertbefore/insertafter - usage. - - callbacks - Allow modules to return `None` as before/after entries for diff. - This should make it easier for modules to report the "not existing" state - of the entity they touched. - - combine filter - now accept a ``list_merge`` argument which modifies its behaviour - when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists. - - config - accept singular version of ``collections_path`` ini setting and ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH`` - environment variable setting - - core filters - Adding ``path_join`` filter to the core filters list -

Add support for Pacman package manager. - - plugin loader - Add MODULE_IGNORE_EXTS config option to skip over certain - extensions when looking for script and binary modules. - - powershell (shell plugin) - Fix `join_path` to support UNC paths (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/66341) - - regexp_replace filter - add multiline support for regex_replace filter (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/61985) - - 'rename ``_find_existing_collections()`` to ``find_existing_collections()`` - to reflect its use across multiple files - - ' - - reorganized code for the ``ansible-test coverage`` command for easier maintenance - and feature additions - - service_facts - Added undocumented 'indirect' and 'static' as service status - (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69752). - - ssh - connection plugin now supports a new variable ``sshpass_prompt`` which - gets passed to ``sshpass`` allowing the user to set a custom substring to - search for a password prompt (requires sshpass 1.06+) - - systemd - default scope is now explicitly "system" - - tests - Add new ``truthy`` and ``falsy`` jinja2 tests to evaluate the truthiness - or falsiness of a value - - to_nice_json filter - Removed now-useless exception handler - - to_uuid - add a named parameter to let the user optionally set a custom namespace - - update ansible-test default-test-container from version 1.13 to 1.14, which -
