|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- lxd inventory plugin - do not crash if OS and release metadata are not present
|
|
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4351).
|
|
- terraform - revert bugfix https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4281 that tried to fix ``variable`` handling to allow complex values. It turned out that this was breaking several valid use-cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4367, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4370).

|
|
|
|
Minor Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- jira - when creating a comment, ``fields`` now is used for additional data (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4304).
|
|
- ldap_entry - add support for recursive deletion (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3613).
|
|
- mksysb - revamped the module using ``ModuleHelper`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3295).
|
|
- nmcli - add missing connection aliases ``802-3-ethernet`` and ``802-11-wireless`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4108).
|
|
- nmcli - remove nmcli modify dependency on ``type`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2858).
|
|
- npm - add ability to use ``production`` flag when ``ci`` is set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4299).
|
|
- pacman - add ``remove_nosave`` parameter to avoid saving modified configuration files as ``.pacsave`` files. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4316, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4315).
|
|
- pacman - now implements proper change detection for ``update_cache=true``. Adds ``cache_updated`` return value to when ``update_cache=true`` to report this result independently of the module's overall changed return value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4337).
|
|
- pipx - added options ``editable`` and ``pip_args`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4300).

|
|
- syslog_json - add option to skip logging of ``gather_facts`` playbook tasks; use v2 callback API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4223).
|
|
- zypper - add support for ``--clean-deps`` option to remove packages that depend on a package being removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4195).
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Features
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- pacman - from community.general 5.0.0 on, the ``changed`` status of ``update_cache`` will no longer be ignored if ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified. To keep the old behavior, add something like ``register: result`` and ``changed_when: result.packages | length > 0`` to your task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- filesize - add support for busybox dd implementation, that is used by default on Alpine linux (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4288, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4259).
|
|
- linode inventory plugin - fix configuration handling relating to inventory filtering (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4336).
|
|
- mksysb - fixed bug for parameter ``backup_dmapi_fs`` was passing the wrong CLI argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3295).
|
|
- pacman - Use ``--groups`` instead of ``--group`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4312).
|
|
- pacman - fix URL based package installation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4286, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4285).
|
|
- pacman - fix ``upgrade=yes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4275, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4274).
|
|
- pacman - make sure that ``packages`` is always returned when ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified, also if nothing is done (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).
|
|
- pacman - when the ``update_cache`` option is combined with another option such as ``upgrade``, report ``changed`` based on the actions performed by the latter option. This was the behavior in community.general 4.4.0 and before. In community.general 4.5.0, a task combining these options would always report ``changed`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).
|
|
- proxmox inventory plugin - always convert strings that follow the ``key=value[,key=value[...]]`` form into dictionaries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4349).
|
|
- proxmox inventory plugin - fixed the ``description`` field being ignored if it contained a comma (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4348).
|
|
- proxmox_kvm - fix error in check when creating or cloning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4306).
|
|
- proxmox_kvm - fix error when checking whether Proxmox VM exists (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4287).
|
|
- terraform - fix ``variable`` handling to allow complex values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4281).
|
|
|
|
Known Issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- pacman - ``update_cache`` cannot differentiate between up to date and outdated package lists and will report ``changed`` in both situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).
|
|
- pacman - binaries specified in the ``executable`` parameter must support ``--print-format`` in order to be used by this module. In particular, AUR helper ``yay`` is known not to currently support it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4312).

v4.5.0

======
|
|
|
|
Release Summary
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Regular feature and bugfix release.
|
|
|
|
Minor Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- Avoid internal ansible-core module_utils in favor of equivalent public API available since at least Ansible 2.9. This fixes some instances added since the last time this was fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4232).
|
|
- ansible_galaxy_install - added option ``no_deps`` to the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4174).
|
|
- gitlab_group_variable - new ``variables`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038 and https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4074).
|
|
- keycloak_* modules - added connection timeout parameter when calling server (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4168).
|
|
- linode inventory plugin - add support for caching inventory results (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4179).
|
|
- opentelemetry_plugin - enrich service when using the ``jenkins``, ``hetzner`` or ``jira`` modules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4105).
|
|
- pacman - the module has been rewritten and is now much faster when using ``state=latest``. Operations are now done all packages at once instead of package per package and the configured output format of ``pacman`` no longer affect the module's operation. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3907, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3783, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4079)
|
|
- passwordstore lookup plugin - add configurable ``lock`` and ``locktimeout`` options to avoid race conditions in itself and in the ``pass`` utility it calls. By default, the plugin now locks on write operations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4194).
|
|
- proxmox modules - move common code into ``module_utils`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4029).
|
|
- proxmox_kvm - added EFI disk support when creating VM with OVMF UEFI BIOS with new ``efidisk0`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4106, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1638).
|
|
- proxmox_kwm - add ``win11`` to ``ostype`` parameter for Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4023, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4191).
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- dconf - skip processes that disappeared while we inspected them (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4151).
|
|
- gitlab_group_variable - add missing documentation about GitLab versions that support ``environment_scope`` and ``variable_type`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038).
|
|
- gitlab_group_variable - allow to set same variable name under different environment scopes. Due this change, the return value ``group_variable`` differs from previous version in check mode. It was counting ``updated`` values, because it was accidentally overwriting environment scopes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038).
|
|
- gitlab_group_variable - fix idempotent change behaviour for float and integer variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038).
|
|
- gitlab_project_variable - ``value`` is not necessary when deleting variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4150).
|
|
- gitlab_runner - make ``project`` and ``owned`` mutually exclusive (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4136).
|
|
- homebrew_cask - fix force install operation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3703).
|
|
- imc_rest - fixes the module failure due to the usage of ``itertools.izip_longest`` which is not available in Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4206).
|
|
- ini_file - when removing nothing do not report changed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4154).
|
|
- keycloak_user_federation - creating a user federation while specifying an ID (that does not exist yet) no longer fail with a 404 Not Found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4212).
|
|
- keycloak_user_federation - mappers auto-created by keycloak are matched and merged by their name and no longer create duplicated entries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4212).
|
|
- mail callback plugin - fix encoding of the name of sender and recipient (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4060, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4061).
|
|
- passwordstore lookup plugin - fix error detection for non-English locales (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4219).
|
|
- passwordstore lookup plugin - prevent returning path names as passwords by accident (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4185, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4192).
|
|
- vdo - fix options error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4163).
|
|
- yum_versionlock - fix matching of existing entries with names passed to the module. Match yum and dnf lock format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4183).

v4.0.2

|
======
|
|
|
|
Release Summary
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Bugfix release for today's Ansible 5.0.0 beta 2.
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Features
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 is deprecated, and will be removed in the next major release (community.general 5.0.0) next spring. While most content will probably still work with ansible-base 2.10, we will remove symbolic links for modules and action plugins, which will make it impossible to use them with Ansible 2.9 anymore. Please use community.general 4.x.y with Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10, as these releases will continue to support Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 even after they are End of Life (https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/50, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3723).

|
|
|

|
|
- lvol - allows logical volumes to be created with certain size arguments prefixed with ``+`` to preserve behavior of older versions of this module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3665).
|
|
- nmcli - fixed falsely reported changed status when ``mtu`` is omitted with ``dummy`` connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3612, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3625).

|
|
- pipx - set environment variable ``USE_EMOJI=0`` to prevent errors in platforms that do not support ``UTF-8`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3611).
|
|
- pipx - the output value ``cmd_args`` was bringing the intermediate command used to gather the state, instead of the command that actually performed the state change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3655).
|
|
- pkgin - Fix exception encountered when all packages are already installed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3583).

|
|
- pkgng - an `earlier PR <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3393>`_ broke check mode so that the module always reports `not changed`.

|
|

- snap - fixed the order of the ``--classic`` parameter in the command line invocation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2916).
|
