Release Date: 2020-06-17
  • Both ansible-doc and ansible-console's help command will error for modules and plugins whose return documentation cannot be parsed as YAML. All modules and plugins passing ansible-test sanity --test yamllint will not be affected by this.
  • Collections may declare a list of supported/tested Ansible versions for the collection. A warning is issued if a collection does not support the Ansible version that loads it (can also be configured as silent or a fatal error). Collections that do not declare supported Ansible versions do not issue a warning/error.
  • Plugin routing allows collections to declare deprecation, redirection targets, and removals for all plugin types.
  • Plugins that import module_utils and other ansible namespaces that have moved to collections should continue to work unmodified.
  • Routing data built into Ansible 2.10 ensures that 2.9 content should work unmodified on 2.10. Formerly included modules and plugins that were moved to collections are still accessible by their original unqualified names, so long as their destination collections are installed.
  • When deprecations are done in code, they to specify a collection_name so that deprecation warnings can mention which collection - or ansible-base - is deprecating a feature. This affects all Display.deprecated() or AnsibleModule.deprecate() or Ansible.Basic.Deprecate() calls, and removed_in_version/removed_at_date or deprecated_aliases in module argument specs.
  • ansible-test now uses a different default test container for Ansible Collections
  • 'Edit on GitHub' link for plugin, cli documentation fixed to navigate to correct plugin, cli source.
  • Add 'auth_url' field to galaxy server config stanzas in ansible.cfg The url should point to the token_endpoint of a Keycloak server.
  • Add --ask-vault-password and --vault-pass-file options to ansible cli commands
  • Add --pre flag to ansible-galaxy collection install to allow pulling in the most recent pre-release version of a collection (ansible/ansible#64905)
  • Add a global toggle to control when vars plugins are executed (per task by default for backward compatibility or after importing inventory).
  • Add a new config parameter, WIN_ASYNC_STARTUP_TIMEOUT, which allows configuration of the named pipe connection timeout under Windows when launching async tasks.
  • Add a per-plugin stage option to override the global toggle to control the execution of individual vars plugins (per task, after inventory, or both).
  • Add an additional check for importing journal from systemd-python module (ansible/ansible#60595).
  • Add new magic variable ansible_collection that contains the collection name
  • Add new magic variable ansible_role_name that contains the FQCN of the role
  • Added PopOS as a part of Debian OS distribution family (ansible/ansible#69286).
  • Added hostname support for PopOS in hostname module.
  • Added openEuler OS in RedHat OS Family.
  • Added the ability to set DEFAULT_NO_TARGET_SYSLOG through the ansible_no_target_syslog variable on a task
  • Ansible CLI fails with warning if extra_vars parameter is used with filename without @ sign (ansible/ansible#51857).
  • Ansible modules created with add_file_common_args=True added a number of undocumented arguments which were mostly there to ease implementing certain action plugins. The undocumented arguments src, follow, force, content, backup, remote_src, regexp, delimiter, and directory_mode are now no longer added. Modules relying on these options to be added need to specify them by themselves. Also, action plugins relying on these extra elements in FILE_COMMON_ARGUMENTS need to be adjusted.
  • Ansible now allows deprecation by date instead of deprecation by version. This is possible for plugins and modules (meta/runtime.yml and deprecated.removed_at_date in DOCUMENTATION, instead of deprecated.removed_in), for plugin options (deprecated.date instead of deprecated.version in DOCUMENTATION), for module options (removed_at_date instead of removed_in_version in argument spec), and for module option aliases (deprecated_aliases.date instead of deprecated_aliases.version in argument spec).
  • Ansible should fail with error when non-existing limit file is provided in command line.
  • Ansible.Basic - Added the ability to specify multiple fragments to load in a generic way for modules that use a module_util with fragment options
  • Ansible.Basic.cs - Added support for deprecated_aliases to deprecated aliases in a standard way
  • Ansible.ModuleUtils.WebRequest - Move username and password aliases out of util to avoid option name collision
  • Change order of arguments in ansible cli to use --ask-vault-password and --vault-password-file by default
  • CollectionRequirement - Add a metadata property to update and retrieve the _metadata attribute.
  • Enable Ansible Collections loader to discover and import collections from site-packages dir and PYTHONPATH-added locations.
  • Enable testing the AIX platform as a remote OS in ansible-test
  • Flatten the directory hierarchy of modules
  • Ignore plesk-release file while parsing distribution release (ansible/ansible#64101).
  • Openstack inventory script is migrated to ansible-openstack-collection, adjusted the link in documentation accordingly.
  • Openstack inventory script is moved to openstack.cloud from community.general.
  • PowerShell Add-Type - Add an easier way to reference extra types when compiling C# code on PowerShell Core
  • PowerShell Add-Type - Added the X86 and AMD64 preprocessor symbols for conditional compiling
  • Prevent losing useful error information by including both the loop and the conditional error messages (ansible/ansible#66529)
  • Provides additional information about collection namespace name restrictions (ansible/ansible#65151).
  • Raise error when no task file is provided to import_tasks (ansible/ansible#54095).
  • Refactor test_distribution_version testcases.
  • Remove the deprecation message for the TRANSFORM_INVALID_GROUP_CHARS setting. (ansible/ansible#61889)
  • Removed extras_require support from setup.py (and [azure] extra). Requirements will float with the collections, so it's not appropriate for ansible-base to host requirements for them any longer.
  • Simplify dict2items filter example in loop documentation (ansible/ansible#65505).
  • Templating - Add globals to the jinja2 environment at Templar instantiation, instead of customizing the template object. Only customize the template object, to disable lookups. (ansible/ansible#69278)
  • Templating - Add support to auto unroll generators produced by jinja2 filters, to prevent the need of explicit use of |list (ansible/ansible#68014)
  • The results queue and counter for results are now split for standard / handler results. This allows the governing strategy to be truly independent from the handler strategy, which basically follows the linear methodology.
  • Update required library message with correct grammer in basic.py.
  • Updated inventory script location for EC2, Openstack, and Cobbler after collection (ansible/ansible#68897).
  • Updated inventory script location for infoblox, ec2 and other after collection migration (ansible/ansible#69139).
  • Updates ansible_role_names, ansible_play_role_names, and ansible_dependent_role_names to include the FQCN
  • Use OrderedDict by default when importing mappings from YAML.
  • Windows - Add a check for the minimum PowerShell version so we can create a friendly error message on older hosts
  • Windows - add deprecation notice in the Windows setup module when running on Server 2008, 2008 R2, and Windows 7
  • AnsibleModule.fail_json() has always required that a message be passed in which informs the end user why the module failed. In the past this message had to be passed as the msg keyword argument but it can now be passed as the first positional argument instead.
  • AnsibleModule.load_file_common_arguments now allows to simply override path.
  • add mechanism for storing warnings and deprecations globally and not attached to an AnsibleModule object (ansible/ansible#58993)
  • added more ways to configure new uri options in 2.10.
  • ansible-doc - improve suboptions formatting (ansible/ansible#69795).
  • ansible-doc - now indicates if an option is added by a doc fragment from another collection by prepending the collection name, or ansible.builtin for ansible-base, to the version number.
  • ansible-doc - return values will be properly formatted (ansible/ansible#69796).
  • ansible-galaxy - Add download option for ansible-galaxy collection to download collections and their dependencies for an offline install
  • ansible-galaxy - Add a verify subcommand to ansible-galaxy collection. The collection found on the galaxy server is downloaded to a tempfile to compare the checksums of the files listed in the MANIFEST.json and the FILES.json with the contents of the installed collection.
  • ansible-galaxy - Added the ability to display the progress wheel through the C.GALAXY_DISPLAY_PROGRESS config option. Also this now defaults to displaying the progress wheel if stdout has a tty.
  • ansible-galaxy - Added the ability to ignore further files and folders using a pattern with the build_ignore key in a collection's galaxy.yml (ansible/ansible#59228).
  • ansible-galaxy - Allow installing collections from git repositories.
  • ansible-galaxy - Always ignore the tests/output directory when building a collection as it is used by ansible-test for test output (ansible/ansible#59228).

  • openssl_* modules - the cryptography backend now properly supports dirName, otherName and RID (Registered ID) names.
  • openssl_certificate - Add option for changing which ACME directory to use with acme-tiny. Set the default ACME directory to Let's Encrypt instead of using acme-tiny's default. (acme-tiny also uses Let's Encrypt at the time being, so no action should be neccessary.)
  • openssl_certificate - Change the required version of acme-tiny to >= 4.0.0
  • openssl_certificate - allow to provide content of some input files via the csr_content, privatekey_content, ownca_privatekey_content and ownca_content options.

  • openssl_privatekey - add format and format_mismatch options.
  • openssl_privatekey - allow to return the existing/generated private key directly as privatekey by setting return_content to yes.
  • openssl_privatekey - the regenerate option allows to configure the module's behavior when it should or needs to regenerate private keys.

  • openssl_publickey - allow to provide private key content via private_key_content option.
  • openssl_publickey - allow to return the existing/generated public key directly as publickey by setting return_content to yes.
  • openssl_csr - all values for the version option except 1 are deprecated. The value 1 denotes the current only standardized CSR version.
  • The letsencrypt module has been removed. Use acme_certificate instead.
  • ACME modules: fix bug in ACME v1 account update code
  • ACME modules: make sure some connection errors are handled properly
  • ACME modules: support Buypass' ACME v1 endpoint

  • openssh_keypair - fixes idempotence issue with public key (ansible/ansible#64969).
  • openssh_keypair - public key's file attributes (permissions, owner, group, etc.) are now set to the same values as the private key.
  • openssl_* modules - prevent crash on fingerprint determination in FIPS mode (ansible/ansible#67213).
  • openssl_certificate - When provider is entrust, use a connection: keep-alive header for ECS API connections.
  • openssl_certificate - provider option was documented as required, but it was not checked whether it was provided. It is now only required when state is present.
  • openssl_certificate - fix assertonly provider certificate verification, causing 'private key mismatch' and 'subject mismatch' errors.
  • openssl_certificate and openssl_csr - fix Ed25519 and Ed448 private key support for cryptography backend. This probably needs at least cryptography 2.8, since older versions have problems with signing certificates or CSRs with such keys. (ansible/ansible#59039, PR ansible/ansible#63984)
  • openssl_csr - a warning is issued if an unsupported value for version is used for the cryptography backend.

Ansible 2.10.0a2 contains community.general version 0.3.0-experimental.meta.redirects. This is a newer version than version 0.1.4 contained in the previous Ansible release.

This is a experimental release to test whether meta/runtime.yml redirects work as expected for flatmapping. There will be no final 0.3.0 release; the next release will be 1.0.0. This experimental pre-release will not appear in the versioning history of 0.3.0, it is solely for testing certain technical aspects of ansible-base and antsibull.

  • docker_container - the network_mode option will be set by default to the name of the first network in networks if at least one network is given and networks_cli_compatible is true (will be default from community.general 2.0.0 on). Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings if you specify networks and set networks_cli_compatible to true. The current default (not specifying it) is equivalent to the value default.
  • docker_container - the module has a new option, container_default_behavior, whose default value will change from compatibility to no_defaults. Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings.
  • gitlab_user - no longer requires name, email and password arguments when state=absent.
  • zabbix_action - no longer requires esc_period and event_source arguments when state=absent.
  • The environment variable for the auth context for the oc.py connection plugin has been corrected (K8S_CONTEXT). It was using an initial lowercase k by mistake. (ansible-collections/community.general#377).
  • bigpanda - the parameter message was renamed to deployment_message since message is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
  • cisco_spark - the module option message was renamed to msg, as message is used internally in Ansible Core engine (ansible/ansible#39295)
  • datadog - the parameter message was renamed to notification_message since message is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
  • docker_container - no longer passes information on non-anonymous volumes or binds as Volumes to the Docker daemon. This increases compatibility with the docker CLI program. Note that if you specify volumes: strict in comparisons, this could cause existing containers created with docker_container from Ansible 2.9 or earlier to restart.
  • docker_container - support for port ranges was adjusted to be more compatible to the docker command line utility: a one-port container range combined with a multiple-port host range will no longer result in only the first host port be used, but the whole range being passed to Docker so that a free port in that range will be used.
  • hashi_vault lookup - now returns the latest version when using the KV v2 secrets engine. Previously, it returned all versions of the secret which required additional steps to extract and filter the desired version.
  • airbrake_deployment - Add deprecation notice for token parameter and v2 api deploys. This feature will be removed in community.general 3.0.0.
  • clc_aa_policy - The wait option had no effect and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0.
  • clc_aa_policy - the wait parameter will be removed. It has always been ignored by the module.
  • docker_container - the trust_image_content option is now deprecated and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0. It has never been used by the module.
  • docker_container - the trust_image_content option will be removed. It has always been ignored by the module.
  • docker_container - the default of container_default_behavior will change from compatibility to no_defaults in community.general 3.0.0. Set the option to an explicit value to avoid a deprecation warning.
  • docker_container - the default value for network_mode will change in community.general 3.0.0, provided at least one network is specified and networks_cli_compatible is true. See porting guide, module documentation or deprecation warning for more details.
  • docker_stack - Return values out and err have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0. Use stdout and stderr instead.
  • docker_stack - the return values err and out have been deprecated. Use stdout and stderr from now on instead.
  • helm - Put helm module to deprecated. New implementation is available in community.kubernetes collection.
  • redfish_config - Deprecate bios_attribute_name and bios_attribute_value in favor of new bios_attributes` option.
  • redfish_config - the bios_attribute_name and bios_attribute_value options will be removed. To maintain the existing behavior use the bios_attributes option instead.
  • redfish_config and redfish_command - the behavior to select the first System, Manager, or Chassis resource to modify when multiple are present will be removed. Use the new resource_id option to specify target resource to modify.
  • redfish_config, redfish_command - Behavior to modify the first System, Mananger, or Chassis resource when multiple are present is deprecated. Use the new resource_id option to specify target resource to modify.
  • xbps - the force option never had any effect. It is now deprecated, and will be removed in 3.0.0 (ansible-collections/community.general#568).
  • zabbix_proxy - deprecates interface sub-options type and main when proxy type is set to passive via status=passive. Make sure these suboptions are removed from your playbook as they were never supported by Zabbix in the first place.
  • SECURITY - CVE-2019-14904 - solaris_zone module accepts zone name and performs actions related to that. However, there is no user input validation done while performing actions. A malicious user could provide a crafted zone name which allows executing commands into the server manipulating the module behaviour. Adding user input validation as per Solaris Zone documentation fixes this issue.
  • security issue - Ansible: Splunk and Sumologic callback plugins leak sensitive data in logs (CVE-2019-14864)
  • ldap_attr, ldap_entry - The params option has been removed in Ansible-2.10 as it circumvents Ansible's option handling. Setting bind_pw with the params option was disallowed in Ansible-2.7, 2.8, and 2.9 as it was insecure. For information about this policy, see the discussion at: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/ansible-meeting/2017-09-28/ansible_dev_meeting.2017-09-28-15.00.log.html This fixes CVE-2020-1746

  • docker_compose - fix issue where docker deprecation warning results in ansible erroneously reporting a failure
  • docker_container - fix idempotency for IP addresses for networks. The old implementation checked the effective IP addresses assigned by the Docker daemon, and not the specified ones.

  • hashi_vault - error messages are now user friendly and don't contain the secret name ( ansible-collections/community.general#54 )
  • hashi_vault - if used via with_hashi_vault and a list of n secrets to retrieve, only the first one would be retrieved and returned n times.
  • hashi_vault - when a non-token authentication method like ldap or userpass failed, but a valid token was loaded anyway (via env or token file), the token was used to attempt authentication, hiding the failure of the requested auth method.
  • homebrew - fix Homebrew module's some functions ignored check_mode option (ansible/ansible#65387).
  • influxdb_user - Don't grant admin privilege in check mode

  • Both ansible-doc and ansible-console's help command will error for modules and plugins whose return documentation cannot be parsed as YAML. All modules and plugins passing ansible-test sanity --test yamllint will not be affected by this.
  • Collections may declare a list of supported/tested Ansible versions for the collection. A warning is issued if a collection does not support the Ansible version that loads it (can also be configured as silent or a fatal error). Collections that do not declare supported Ansible versions do not issue a warning/error.
  • Plugin routing allows collections to declare deprecation, redirection targets, and removals for all plugin types.
  • Plugins that import module_utils and other ansible namespaces that have moved to collections should continue to work unmodified.
  • Routing data built into Ansible 2.10 ensures that 2.9 content should work unmodified on 2.10. Formerly included modules and plugins that were moved to collections are still accessible by their original unqualified names, so long as their destination collections are installed.
  • When deprecations are done in code, they to specify a collection_name so that deprecation warnings can mention which collection - or ansible-base - is deprecating a feature. This affects all Display.deprecated() or AnsibleModule.deprecate() or Ansible.Basic.Deprecate() calls, and removed_in_version/removed_at_date or deprecated_aliases in module argument specs.
  • ansible-test now uses a different default test container for Ansible Collections
  • docker_container - the network_mode option will be set by default to the name of the first network in networks if at least one network is given and networks_cli_compatible is true (will be default from community.general 2.0.0 on). Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings if you specify networks and set networks_cli_compatible to true. The current default (not specifying it) is equivalent to the value default.
  • docker_container - the module has a new option, container_default_behavior, whose default value will change from compatibility to no_defaults. Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings.
  • gitlab_user - no longer requires name, email and password arguments when state=absent.
  • zabbix_action - no longer requires esc_period and event_source arguments when state=absent.
  • 'Edit on GitHub' link for plugin, cli documentation fixed to navigate to correct plugin, cli source.
  • Add 'auth_url' field to galaxy server config stanzas in ansible.cfg The url should point to the token_endpoint of a Keycloak server.

  • Add an additional check for importing journal from systemd-python module (ansible/ansible#60595).
  • Add new magic variable ansible_collection that contains the collection name

  • Added the ability to set DEFAULT_NO_TARGET_SYSLOG through the ansible_no_target_syslog variable on a task
  • Ansible CLI fails with warning if extra_vars parameter is used with filename without @ sign (ansible/ansible#51857).
  • Ansible modules created with add_file_common_args=True added a number of undocumented arguments which were mostly there to ease implementing certain action plugins. The undocumented arguments src, follow, force, content, backup, remote_src, regexp, delimiter, and directory_mode are now no longer added. Modules relying on these options to be added need to specify them by themselves. Also, action plugins relying on these extra elements in FILE_COMMON_ARGUMENTS need to be adjusted.
  • Ansible now allows deprecation by date instead of deprecation by version. This is possible for plugins and modules (meta/runtime.yml and deprecated.removed_at_date in DOCUMENTATION, instead of deprecated.removed_in), for plugin options (deprecated.date instead of deprecated.version in DOCUMENTATION), for module options (removed_at_date instead of removed_in_version in argument spec), and for module option aliases (deprecated_aliases.date instead of deprecated_aliases.version in argument spec).
  • Ansible should fail with error when non-existing limit file is provided in command line.
  • Ansible.Basic - Added the ability to specify multiple fragments to load in a generic way for modules that use a module_util with fragment options

  • Refactor test_distribution_version testcases.
  • Remove the deprecation message for the TRANSFORM_INVALID_GROUP_CHARS setting. (ansible/ansible#61889)
  • Removed extras_require support from setup.py (and [azure] extra). Requirements will float with the collections, so it's not appropriate for ansible-base to host requirements for them any longer.
  • Simplify dict2items filter example in loop documentation (ansible/ansible#65505).
  • Templating - Add globals to the jinja2 environment at Templar instantiation, instead of customizing the template object. Only customize the template object, to disable lookups. (ansible/ansible#69278)
  • Templating - Add support to auto unroll generators produced by jinja2 filters, to prevent the need of explicit use of |list (ansible/ansible#68014)

  • AnsibleDumper - Add a representer for AnsibleUnsafeBytes (ansible/ansible#62562).
  • AnsibleModule.run_command() - set close_fds to False on Python 2 if pass_fds are passed to run_command(). Since subprocess.Popen() on Python 2 does not have the pass_fds option, there is no way to exclude a specific list of file descriptors from being closed.
  • Avoid bare select() for running commands to avoid too large file descriptor numbers failing tasks
  • Avoid running subfunctions that are passed to show_vars function when it will be a noop.
  • By passing the module_tmpdir as a parameter in the write_ssh_wrapper function instead of initalizing module_tmpdir via get_module_path()

Ansible 2.10 Porting Guide

Warning

Links on this page may not point to the most recent versions of modules. In preparation for the release of 2.10, many plugins and modules have migrated to Collections on Ansible Galaxy. For the current development status of Collections and FAQ see Ansible Collections Community Guide. We expect the 2.10 Porting Guide to change frequently up to the 2.10 release. Follow the conversations about collections on our various :ref:`communication` channels for the latest information on the status of the devel branch.

This section discusses the behavioral changes between Ansible 2.9 and Ansible 2.10.

It is intended to assist in updating your playbooks, plugins and other parts of your Ansible infrastructure so they will work with this version of Ansible.

We suggest you read this page along with Ansible Changelog for 2.10 to understand what updates you may need to make.

This document is part of a collection on porting. The complete list of porting guides can be found at :ref:`porting guides <porting_guides>`.

  • Fixed a bug on boolean keywords that made random strings return 'False', now they should return an error if they are not a proper boolean Example: diff: yes- was returning False.
  • A new fact, ansible_processor_nproc reflects the number of vcpus available to processes (falls back to the number of vcpus available to the scheduler).

No notable changes

Warning

Links on this page may not point to the most recent versions of modules. We will update them when we can.

The following modules will be removed in Ansible 2.14. Please update your playbooks accordingly.

  • ldap_attr use ldap_attrs instead.
  • vyos_static_route use vyos_static_routes instead.

The following functionality will be removed in Ansible 2.14. Please update update your playbooks accordingly.

The following functionality will change in Ansible 2.14. Please update update your playbooks accordingly.

The following modules will be removed in Ansible 2.14. Please update your playbooks accordingly.

  • vmware_dns_config use vmware_host_dns instead.
  • Prior to Ansible 2.10 lookup plugin names passed in as an argument to the lookup() function were treated as case-insensitive as opposed to lookups invoked via with_<lookup_name>. 2.10 brings consistency to lookup() and with_ to be both case-sensitive.
  • Cache plugins in collections can be used to cache data from inventory plugins. Previously, cache plugins in collections could only be used for fact caching.
  • Some undocumented arguments from FILE_COMMON_ARGUMENTS have been removed; plugins using these, in particular action plugins, need to be adjusted. The undocumented arguments which were removed are src, follow, force, content, backup, remote_src, regexp, delimiter, and directory_mode.

No notable changes

No notable changes

  • The environment variable for the auth context for the oc.py connection plugin has been corrected (K8S_CONTEXT). It was using an initial lowercase k by mistake. (ansible-collections/community.general#377).
  • bigpanda - the parameter message was renamed to deployment_message since message is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
  • cisco_spark - the module option message was renamed to msg, as message is used internally in Ansible Core engine (ansible/ansible#39295)
  • datadog - the parameter message was renamed to notification_message since message is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
  • docker_container - no longer passes information on non-anonymous volumes or binds as Volumes to the Docker daemon. This increases compatibility with the docker CLI program. Note that if you specify volumes: strict in comparisons, this could cause existing containers created with docker_container from Ansible 2.9 or earlier to restart.
  • docker_container - support for port ranges was adjusted to be more compatible to the docker command line utility: a one-port container range combined with a multiple-port host range will no longer result in only the first host port be used, but the whole range being passed to Docker so that a free port in that range will be used.
  • hashi_vault lookup - now returns the latest version when using the KV v2 secrets engine. Previously, it returned all versions of the secret which required additional steps to extract and filter the desired version.
  • Both ansible-doc and ansible-console's help command will error for modules and plugins whose return documentation cannot be parsed as YAML. All modules and plugins passing ansible-test sanity --test yamllint will not be affected by this.
  • Collections may declare a list of supported/tested Ansible versions for the collection. A warning is issued if a collection does not support the Ansible version that loads it (can also be configured as silent or a fatal error). Collections that do not declare supported Ansible versions do not issue a warning/error.
  • Plugin routing allows collections to declare deprecation, redirection targets, and removals for all plugin types.
  • Plugins that import module_utils and other ansible namespaces that have moved to collections should continue to work unmodified.
  • Routing data built into Ansible 2.10 ensures that 2.9 content should work unmodified on 2.10. Formerly included modules and plugins that were moved to collections are still accessible by their original unqualified names, so long as their destination collections are installed.
  • When deprecations are done in code, they to specify a collection_name so that deprecation warnings can mention which collection - or ansible-base - is deprecating a feature. This affects all Display.deprecated() or AnsibleModule.deprecate() or Ansible.Basic.Deprecate() calls, and removed_in_version/removed_at_date or deprecated_aliases in module argument specs.
  • ansible-test now uses a different default test container for Ansible Collections
  • docker_container - the network_mode option will be set by default to the name of the first network in networks if at least one network is given and networks_cli_compatible is true (will be default from community.general 2.0.0 on). Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings if you specify networks and set networks_cli_compatible to true. The current default (not specifying it) is equivalent to the value default.
  • docker_container - the module has a new option, container_default_behavior, whose default value will change from compatibility to no_defaults. Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings.
  • gitlab_user - no longer requires name, email and password arguments when state=absent.
  • zabbix_action - no longer requires esc_period and event_source arguments when state=absent.
  • core - remove support for check_invalid_arguments in AnsibleModule, AzureModule and UTMModule.
  • The letsencrypt module has been removed. Use acme_certificate instead.
  • vmware_guest_find - Removed deprecated datacenter option
  • vmware_vmkernel - Removed deprecated ip_address option; use sub-option ip_address in the network option instead
  • vmware_vmkernel - Removed deprecated subnet_mask option; use sub-option subnet_mask in the network option instead
  • Using the DefaultCallback without the correspodning doc_fragment or copying the documentation.
  • hash_behaviour - Deprecate hash_behaviour for future removal.
  • script inventory plugin - The 'cache' option is deprecated and will be removed in 2.12. Its use has been removed from the plugin since it has never had any effect.
  • openssl_csr - all values for the version option except 1 are deprecated. The value 1 denotes the current only standardized CSR version.
  • airbrake_deployment - Add deprecation notice for token parameter and v2 api deploys. This feature will be removed in community.general 3.0.0.
  • clc_aa_policy - The wait option had no effect and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0.
  • clc_aa_policy - the wait parameter will be removed. It has always been ignored by the module.
  • docker_container - the trust_image_content option is now deprecated and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0. It has never been used by the module.
  • docker_container - the trust_image_content option will be removed. It has always been ignored by the module.
  • docker_container - the default of container_default_behavior will change from compatibility to no_defaults in community.general 3.0.0. Set the option to an explicit value to avoid a deprecation warning.
  • docker_container - the default value for network_mode will change in community.general 3.0.0, provided at least one network is specified and networks_cli_compatible is true. See porting guide, module documentation or deprecation warning for more details.
  • docker_stack - Return values out and err have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0. Use stdout and stderr instead.
  • docker_stack - the return values err and out have been deprecated. Use stdout and stderr from now on instead.
  • helm - Put helm module to deprecated. New implementation is available in community.kubernetes collection.
  • redfish_config - Deprecate bios_attribute_name and bios_attribute_value in favor of new bios_attributes` option.
  • redfish_config - the bios_attribute_name and bios_attribute_value options will be removed. To maintain the existing behavior use the bios_attributes option instead.
  • redfish_config and redfish_command - the behavior to select the first System, Manager, or Chassis resource to modify when multiple are present will be removed. Use the new resource_id option to specify target resource to modify.
  • redfish_config, redfish_command - Behavior to modify the first System, Mananger, or Chassis resource when multiple are present is deprecated. Use the new resource_id option to specify target resource to modify.
  • xbps - the force option never had any effect. It is now deprecated, and will be removed in 3.0.0 (ansible-collections/community.general#568).
  • zabbix_proxy - deprecates interface sub-options type and main when proxy type is set to passive via status=passive. Make sure these suboptions are removed from your playbook as they were never supported by Zabbix in the first place.
  • vmware_dns_config - Deprecate in favour of new module vmware_host_dns.
  • helm - New module for managing Helm charts (ansible-collections/community.kubernetes#61).
  • helm_info - New module for retrieving Helm chart information (ansible-collections/community.kubernetes#61).
