*Security Fix
*
* - Some connection exceptions would cause no_log specified on a task to be ignored. If this happened, the task information, including any private information coul d have been displayed to stdout and (if enabled, not the default) logged to a log file specified in ansible.cfg\'s log_path. Additionally, sites which redirected stdout from ansible runs to a log file may have stored that private information onto disk that way as well. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41414) - Changed the admin_users config option to not include \"admin\" by default as admin is frequently used for a non-privileged account (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41164) - Changed the output to \"text\" for \"show vrf\" command as default \"json\" output format with respect to \"eapi\" transport was failing (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41470) - Document mode=preserve for both the copy and template module - Fix added for Digital Ocean Volumes API change causing Ansible to recieve an unexpected value in the response. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41431) - Fix an encoding issue when parsing the examples from a plugins\' documentation - Fix iosxr_config module to handle route-policy, community-set, prefix-set, as-path-set and rd-set blocks.

* modules - Port away from the deprecated b64encodestring function to the b64encode function instead. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/38388 - added missing \'raise\' to exception definition https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41690 - allow custom endpoints to be used in the aws_s3 module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/36832) - allow set_options to be called multiple times https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41913 - ansible-doc - fixed traceback on missing plugins (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41167) - cast the device_mapping volume size to an int in the ec2_ami module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40938) - copy - fixed copy to only follow symlinks for files in the non-recursive case - copy module - The copy module was attempting to change the mode of files for remote_src=True even if mode was not set as a parameter. This failed on filesystems which do not have permission bits (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40099) - copy module - fixed recursive copy with relative paths (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40166) - correct debug display for all cases https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41331 - correctly check hostvars for vars term https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41819 - correctly handle yaml inventory files when entries are null dicts https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41692 - dynamic includes - Allow inheriting attributes from static parents (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/38827) - dynamic includes - Don\'t treat undefined vars for conditional includes as truthy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/39377) - dynamic includes - Fix IncludedFile comparison for free strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/37083) - dynamic includes - Improved performance by fixing re-parenting on copy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/38747) - dynamic includes - Use the copied and merged task for calculating task vars (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/39762) - file - fixed the default follow behaviour of file to be true - file module - Eliminate an error if we\'re asked to remove a file but something removes it while we are processing the request (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/39466) - file module - Fix error when recursively assigning permissions and a symlink to a nonexistent file is present in the directory tree (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39456) - file module - Fix error when running a task which assures a symlink to a nonexistent file exists for the second and subsequent times (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39558) - file module - The file module allowed the user to specify src as a parameter when state was not link or hard. This is documented as only applying to state=link or state=hard but in previous Ansible, this could have an effect in rare cornercases. For instance, \"ansible -m file -a \'state=directory path=/tmp src=/var/lib\'\" would create /tmp/lib. This has been disabled and a warning emitted (will change to an error in Ansible-2.10). - file module - The touch subcommand had its diff output broken during the 2.6.x development cycle.

* Tue Mar 27 2018 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de- Update to 2.5.0: Major Changes
* Ansible Network improvements + Created new connection plugins network_cli and netconf to replace connection=local. connection=local will continue to work for a number of Ansible releases. + No more unable to open shell. A clear and descriptive message will be displayed in normal ansible-playbook output without needing to enable debug mode + Loads of documentation, see Ansible for Network Automation Documentation. + Refactor common network shared code into package under module_utils/network/ + Filters: Add a filter to convert XML response from a network device to JSON object. + Loads of bug fixes. + Plus lots more.
* New simpler and more intuitive \'loop\' keyword for task loops. The with_ loops will likely be deprecated in the near future and eventually removed.
* Added fact namespacing; from now on facts will be available under ansible_facts namespace (for example: ansible_facts.os_distribution) without the ansible_ prefix. They will continue to be added into the main namespace directly, but now with a configuration toggle to enable this. This is currently on by default, but in the future it will default to off.
* Added a configuration file that a site administrator can use to specify modules to exclude from being used. Minor Changes
* please refer to /share/doc/packages/ansible/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.5.rst Deprecated Features
* Previously deprecated \'hostfile\' config settings have been \'re-deprecated\' because previously code did not warn about deprecated configuration settings.
* Using Ansible-provided Jinja tests as filters is deprecated and will be removed in Ansible 2.9.
* The stat and win_stat modules have deprecated get_md5 and the md5 return values. These options will become undocumented in Ansible 2.9 and removed in a later version.
* The redis_kv lookup has been deprecated in favor of new redis lookup
* Passing arbitrary parameters that begin with HEADER_ to the uri module, used for passing http headers, is deprecated. Use the headers parameter with a dictionary of header names to value instead. This will be removed in Ansible 2.9
* Passing arbitrary parameters to the zfs module to set zfs properties is deprecated. Use the extra_zfs_properties parameter with a dictionary of property names to values instead. This will be removed in Ansible 2.9.
* Use of the AnsibleModule parameter check\\_invalid\\_arguments in custom modules is deprecated. In the future, all parameters will be checked to see whether they are listed in the arg spec and an error raised if they are not listed. This behaviour is the current and future default so most custom modules can simply remove check\\_invalid\\_arguments if they set it to the default value of True. The check\\_invalid\\_arguments parameter will be removed in Ansible 2.9.
* The nxos_ip_interface module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5. Use nxos_l3_interface module instead.
* The nxos_portchannel module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5. Use nxos_linkagg module instead.
* The nxos_switchport module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5. Use nxos_l2_interface module instead.
* The ec2_ami_find has been deprecated; use ec2_ami_facts instead.
* panos_security_policy: Use panos_security_rule - the old module uses deprecated API calls
* vsphere_guest is deprecated in Ansible 2.5 and will be removed in Ansible-2.9. Use vmware_guest module instead. Removed Features (previously deprecated)
* accelerate.
* boundary_meter: There was no deprecation period for this but the hosted service it relied on has gone away so the module has been removed. #29387
* cl_ : cl_interface, cl_interface_policy, cl_bridge, cl_img_install, cl_ports, cl_license, cl_bond. Use nclu instead
* docker. Use docker_container and docker_image instead.
* ec2_vpc.
* ec2_ami_search, use ec2_ami_facts instead.
* nxos_mtu. Use nxos_system\'s system_mtu option instead. To specify an interface\'s MTU use nxos_interface.
* panos_nat_policy: Use panos_nat_rule the old module uses deprecated API calls- also package the changelogs directory below /usr/share/doc/packages/ansible/ for better reference
* Tue Mar 06 2018 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de- License changed to GPL-3.0-or-later, as mentioned in the source (former license focues on GPL-3.0 only)

* CVE-2017-7550: Prevent jenkins_plugin module from exposing passwords in remote host logs (bsc#1065872)
* Various bug fixes and improvements
* Tue Oct 03 2017 jengelhAATTinai.de- Remove radical wording from descriptions. Use improved find syntax.
* Sat Sep 23 2017 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de- update to 2.4.0.0 (final) Major Changes + Support for Python-2.4 and Python-2.5 on the managed system\'s side was dropped. If you need to manage a system that ships with Python-2.4 or Python-2.5, you\'ll need to install Python-2.6 or better on the managed system or run Ansible-2.3 until you can upgrade the system. + New import/include keywords to replace the old bare include directives. The use of static: {yes|no} on such includes is now deprecated. ++ Using import_
* (import_playbook, import_tasks, import_role) directives are static. ++ Using include_
* (include_tasks, include_role) directives are dynamic. This is done to avoid collisions and possible security issues as facts come from the remote targets and they might be compromised. + New order play level keyword that allows the user to change the order in which Ansible processes hosts when dispatching tasks. + Users can now set group merge priority for groups of the same depth (parent child relationship), using the new ansible_group_priority variable, when values are the same or don\'t exist it will fallback to the previous sorting by name\'. + Inventory has been revamped: ++ Inventory classes have been split to allow for better management and deduplication ++ Logic that each inventory source duplicated is now common and pushed up to reconciliation ++ VariableManager has been updated for better interaction with inventory ++ Updated CLI with helper method to initialize base objects for plays ++ New inventory plugins for creating inventory ++ Old inventory formats are still supported via plugins ++ Inline host_list is also an inventory plugin, an example alternative advanced_host_list is also provided (it supports ranges) ++ New configuration option to list enabled plugins and precedence order: whitelist_inventory in ansible.cfg ++ vars_plugins have been reworked, they are now run from Vars manager and API has changed (need docs) ++ Loading group_vars/host_vars is now a vars plugin and can be overridden ++ It is now possible to specify mulitple inventory sources in the command line (-i /etc/hosts1 -i /opt/hosts2) ++ Inventory plugins can use the cache plugin (i.e. virtualbox) and is affected by meta: refresh_inventory ++ Group variable precedence is now configurable via new \'precedence\' option in ansible.cfg (needs docs) ++ Improved warnings and error messages across the board + Configuration has been changed from a hardcoded listing in the constants module to dynamically loaded from yaml definitions ++ Also added an ansible-config CLI to allow for listing config options and dumping current config (including origin) ++ TODO: build upon this to add many features detailed in ansible-config proposal https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/35 + Windows modules now support the use of multiple shared module_utils files in the form of Powershell modules (.psm1), via [#]Requires -Module Ansible.ModuleUtils.Whatever.psm1 + Python module argument_spec now supports custom validation logic by accepting a callable as the type argument. + Windows become_method: runas now works across all authtypes and will auto-elevate under UAC if WinRM user has \"Act as part of the operating system\" privilege - please refer to /usr/share/doc/packages/ansible/CHANGELOG.md for further changes- added ansible-inventory and ansible-config binaries and manpages- package contrib and examples directories in docdir- package all
*md files as documentation for now- recommend the following new packages for (open)SUSE: + python-httplib2 + python-keyczar + python-six- enable/fix build for RHEL and Fedora by redefining __python2 and adding/enhancing the needed (build)requires if needed
* Fri Sep 08 2017 johannes.grasslerAATTsuse.com- update to 2.2.3.0 (bsc#1056094)

* Mon Mar 27 2017 michaelAATTstroeder.com- update to 2.2.2.0 This release fixes a few bugs introduced in the previous version, as well as another small tweak to catch an additional way in which CVE-2016-9587 could be triggered.
* Mon Jan 16 2017 michaelAATTstroeder.com- update to 2.2.1.0 (final)
* Wed Jan 11 2017 borisAATTsteki.net- security update to rc4 of 2.2.1.0 version CVE-2016-9587, CVE-2016-8628 and CVE-2016-8614 for full list of changes see /usr/share/doc/packages/ansible/CHANGELOG.md

* Sat May 07 2016 michaelAATTstroeder.com- update to 2.0.2.0:
* Backport of the 2.1 feature to ensure per-item callbacks are sent as they occur, rather than all at once at the end of the task.
* Fixed bugs related to the iteration of tasks when certain combinations of roles, blocks, and includes were used, especially when handling errors in rescue/always portions of blocks.
* Fixed handling of redirects in our helper code, and ported the uri module to use this helper code. This removes the httplib dependency for this module while fixing some bugs related to redirects and SSL certs.
* Fixed some bugs related to the incorrect creation of extra temp directories for uploading files, which were not cleaned up properly.
* Improved error reporting in certain situations, to provide more information such as the playbook file/line.
* Fixed a bug related to the variable precedence of role parameters, especially when a role may be used both as a dependency of a role and directly by itself within the same play.
* Fixed some bugs in the 2.0 implementation of do/until.
* Fixed some bugs related to run_once: - Ensure that all hosts are marked as failed if a task marked as run_once fails. - Show a warning when using the free strategy when a run_once task is encountered, as there is no way for the free strategy to guarantee the task is not run more than once.
* Fixed a bug where the assemble module was not honoring check mode in some situations.
* Fixed a bug related to delegate_to, where we were incorrectly using variables from the inventory host rather than the delegated-to host.
* The \'package\' meta-module now properly squashes items down to a single execution (as the apt/yum/other package modules do).
* Fixed a bug related to the ansible-galaxy CLI command dealing with paged results from the Galaxy server.
* Pipelining support is now available for the local and jail connection plugins, which is useful for users who do not wish to have temp files/directories created when running tasks with these connection types.
* Improvements in support for additional shell types.
* Improvements in the code which is used to calculate checksums for remote files.
* Some speed ups and bug fixes related to the variable merging code.
* Workaround bug in python subprocess on El Capitan that was making vault fail when attempting to encrypt a file
* Fix lxc_container module having predictable temp file names and setting file permissions on the temporary file too leniently on a temporary file that was executed as a script. Addresses CVE-2016-3096
* Fix a bug in the uri module where setting headers via module params that start with HEADER_ were causing a traceback.
* Fix bug in the free strategy that was causing it to synchronize its workers after every task (making it a lot more like linear than it should have been).
* Wed Mar 09 2016 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de- update to 2.0.1.0:
* Fixes a major compatibility break in the synchronize module shipped with 2.0.0.x. That version of synchronize ran sudo on the controller prior to running rsync. In 1.9.x and previous, sudo was run on the host that rsync connected to. 2.0.1 restores the 1.9.x behaviour.
* Additionally, several other problems with where synchronize chose to run when combined with delegate_to were fixed. In particular, if a playbook targetted localhost and then delegated_to a remote host the prior behavior (in 1.9.x and 2.0.0.x) was to copy files between the src and destination directories on the delegated host. This has now been fixed to copy between localhost and the delegated host.
* Fix a regression where synchronize was unable to deal with unicode paths.
* Fix a regression where synchronize deals with inventory hosts that use localhost but with an alternate port.
* Fixes a regression where the retry files feature was not implemented.
* Fixes a regression where the any_errors_fatal option was implemented in 2.0 incorrectly, and also adds a feature where any_errors_fatal can be set at the block level.
* Fix tracebacks when playbooks or ansible itself were located in directories with unicode characters.
* Fix bug when sending unicode characters to an external pager for display.
* Fix a bug with squashing loops for special modules (mostly package managers). The optimization was squashing when the loop did not apply to the selection of packages. This has now been fixed.
* Temp files created when using vault are now \"shredded\" using the unix shred program which overwrites the file with random data.
* Some fixes to cloudstack modules for case sensitivity
* Fix non-newstyle modules (non-python modules and old-style modules) to disabled pipelining.
* Fix fetch module failing even if fail_on_missing is set to False
* Fix for cornercase when local connections, sudo, and raw were used together.
* Fix dnf module to remove dependent packages when state=absent is specified. This was a feature of the 1.9.x version that was left out by mistake when the module was rewritten for 2.0.
* Fix bugs with non-english locales in yum, git, and apt modules
* Fix a bug with the dnf module where state=latest could only upgrade, not install.
* Mon Feb 15 2016 eshmarnevAATTsuse.com- fix_zypper_errorhandling.patch is being deleted
* Thu Feb 11 2016 erwin.vandeveldeAATTgmail.com- update to 2.0.0.2 Version 2.0 is a new major version with a lot of changes, among which: + New modules for cloud-based services and many more + The new block/rescue/always directives allow for making task blocks and exception-like semantics + Many API changes- more info at: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md#20-over-the-hills-and-far-away
* Sun Oct 11 2015 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de- build again on SLE-11-SP4 by ignoring some dependencies that are not available in the official OBS repository: python-paramiko, python-Jinja2, python-PyYAML, python-pycrypto
* Sat Oct 10 2015 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de- update to 1.9.4 This release addresses several bugs, most notably those related to the yum module (introduced in 1.9.3): + Fixes a bug where yum state=latest would error if there were no updates to install. + Fixes a bug where yum state=latest did not work with wildcard package names. + Fixes a bug in lineinfile relating to escape sequences. + Fixes a bug where vars_prompt was not keeping passwords private by default. + Fix ansible-galaxy and the hipchat callback plugin to check that the host it is contacting matches its TLS Certificate.
* Sat Sep 26 2015 m0sesAATTsamaxi.de- Added fix_zypper_errorhandling.patch as it`s have not been accepted upstream, in lack of an reviewer. See patch for more comments
* Fri Sep 11 2015 robin.rothAATTkit.edu- update to 1.9.3: - Fixes a bug related to keyczar messing up encodings internally, resulting in decrypted messages coming out as empty strings. - AES Keys generated for use in accelerated mode are now 256-bit by default instead of 128. - Fix url fetching for SNI with python-2.7.9 or greater. SNI does not work with python < 2.7.9. The best workaround is probably to use the command module with curl or wget. - Fix url fetching to allow tls-1.1 and tls-1.2 if the system\'s openssl library supports those protocols - Fix ec2_ami_search module to check TLS Certificates - Fix the following extras modules to check TLS Certificates: - campfire - layman - librarto_annotate - twilio - typetalk - Fix docker module\'s parsing of docker-py version for dev checkouts - Fix docker module to work with docker server api 1.19 - Change yum module\'s state=latest feature to update all packages specified in a single transaction. This is the same type of fix as was made for yum\'s state=installed in 1.9.2 and both solves the same problems and with the same caveats. - Fixed a bug where stdout from a module might be blank when there were were non-printable ASCII characters contained within it
* Wed Jul 15 2015 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de- update to 1.9.2: - Security fixes to check that hostnames match certificates with https urls (CVE-2015-3908; bnc #938161): + get_url and uri modules + url and etcd lookup plugins - Security fixes to the zone (Solaris containers), jail (bsd containers), and chroot connection plugins. These plugins can be used to connect to their respective container types in leiu of the standard ssh connection. Prior to this fix being applied these connection plugins didn\'t properly handle symlinks within the containers which could lead to files intended to be written to or read from the container being written to or read from the host system instead. (CVE pending) - Fixed a bug in the service module where init scripts were being incorrectly used instead of upstart/systemd. - Fixed a bug where sudo/su settings were not inherited from ansible.cfg correctly. - Fixed a bug in the rds module where a traceback may occur due to an unbound variable. - Fixed a bug where certain remote file systems where the SELinux context was not being properly set. - Re-enabled several windows modules which had been partially merged (via action plugins): + win_copy.ps1 + win_copy.py + win_file.ps1 + win_file.py + win_template.py - Fix bug using with_sequence and a count that is zero. Also allows counting backwards isntead of forwards - Fix get_url module bug preventing use of custom ports with https urls - Fix bug disabling repositories in the yum module. - Fix giving yum module a url to install a package from on RHEL/CENTOS5 - Fix bug in dnf module preventing it from working when yum-utils was not already installed
* Tue Apr 28 2015 borisAATTsteki.net- updated to version 1.9.1
* Fixed a bug related to Kerberos auth when using winrm with a domain account.
* Fixing several bugs in the s3 module.
* Fixed a bug with upstart service detection in the service module.
* Fixed several bugs with the user module when used on OSX.
* Fixed unicode handling in some module situations (assert and shell/command execution).
* Fixed a bug in redhat_subscription when using the activationkey parameter.
* Fixed a traceback in the gce module on EL6 distros when multiple pycrypto installations are available.
* Added support for PostgreSQL 9.4 in rds_param_group
* Several other minor fixes.
* Mon Mar 30 2015 borisAATTsteki.net- updated to version 1.9.0.1
* Added kerberos support to winrm connection plugin.
* Tags rehaul: added \'all\', \'always\', \'untagged\' and \'tagged\' special tags and normalized tag resolution. Added tag information to - -list-tasks and new --list-tags option.
* Privilege Escalation generalization, new \'Become\' system and variables now will handle existing and new methods. Sudo and su have been kept for backwards compatibility. New methods pbrun and pfexec in \'alpha\' state, planned adding \'runas\' for winrm connection plugin.
* Improved ssh connection error reporting, now you get back the specific message from ssh.
* Added facility to document task module return values for registered vars, both for ansible-doc and the docsite. Documented copy, stats and acl modules, the rest must be updated individually (we will start doing so incrementally).
* Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more efficiently. For some use cases this can lead to dramatic improvements in startup time.
* Overhaul of the checksum system, now supports more systems and more cases more reliably and uniformly.
* Fix skipped tasks to not display their parameters if no_log is specified.
* Many fixes to unicode support, standarized functions to make it easier to add to input/output boundries.
* Added travis integration to github for basic tests, this should speed up ticket triage and merging.
* environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is inhertited by tasks, which can still override it.
* expanded facts and OS/distribution support for existing facts and improved performance with pypy.
* new \'wantlist\' option to lookups allows for selecting a list typed variable vs a command delimited string as the return.
* the shared module code for file backups now uses a timestamp resolution of seconds (previouslly minutes).

* added the ability to set \"instance filters\" in the ec2.ini to limit results from the inventory plugin.
* upgrades for various variable precedence items and parsing related items
* added a new \"follow\" parameter to the file and copy modules, which allows actions to be taken on the target of a symlink rather than the symlink itself.
* if a module should ever traceback, it will return a standard error, catchable by ignore_errors, versus an \'unreachable\'
* ec2_lc: added support for multiple new parameters like kernel_id, ramdisk_id and ebs_optimized.

* git module: Submodule handling has changed. Previously if you used the \"recursive\" parameter to handle submodules, ansible would track the submodule upstream\'s head revision. This has been changed to checkout the version of the submodule specified in the superproject\'s git repository. This is inline with what git submodule update does. If you want the old behaviour use the new module parameter track_submodules=yes
* Checksumming of transferred files has been made more portable and now uses the sha1 algorithm instead of md5 to be compatible with FIPS-140. + As a small side effect, the fetch module no longer returns a useful value in remote_md5. If you need a replacement, switch to using remote_checksum which returns the sha1sum of the remote file.
* ansible-doc CLI tool contains various improvements for working with different terminals
