Changelog for ansible-core-2.14.2-1.1.noarch.rpm :

* Tue Jan 31 2023 Johannes Kastl - update to 2.14.2: Full changelog https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.14.2/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.14.rst
* Major Changes - ansible-test - Docker Desktop on WSL2 is now supported (additional configuration required). - ansible-test - Docker and Podman are now supported on hosts with cgroup v2 unified. 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.
* Bugfixes - Correctly count rescued tasks in play recap (#79711) - Fix traceback when using the template module and running with ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 (#79763) - Fix using GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS in conjunction with collections in requirements files which specify a specific source that isn\'t in the configured servers. - Fix using GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS when downloading tarballs from Galaxy servers (#79557). - Module and role argument validation - include the valid suboption choices in the error when an invalid suboption is provided. - ansible-doc now will correctly display short descriptions on listing filters/tests no matter the directory sorting. - ansible-inventory will not explicitly sort groups/hosts anymore, giving a chance (depending on output format) to match the order in the input sources. - ansible-test - Added a work-around for a traceback under Python 3.11 when completing certain command line options. - ansible-test - Avoid using exec after container startup when possible. This improves container startup performance and avoids intermittent startup issues with some old containers. - ansible-test - Connection attempts to managed remote instances no longer abort on Permission denied errors. - ansible-test - Detection for running in a Podman or Docker container has been fixed to detect more scenarios. The new detection relies on /proc/self/mountinfo instead of /proc/self/cpuset. Detection now works with custom cgroups and private cgroup namespaces. - ansible-test - Fix validate-modules error when retrieving PowerShell argspec when retrieved inside a Cmdlet - ansible-test - Handle server errors when executing the docker info command. - ansible-test - Multiple containers now work under Podman without specifying the --docker-network option. - ansible-test - Pass the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable through to container commands. - ansible-test - Perform PyPI proxy configuration after instances are ready and bootstrapping has been completed. Only target instances are affected, as controller instances were already handled this way. This avoids proxy configuration errors when target instances are not yet ready for use. - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat inspections of the same container image. - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat pulls of the same container image. - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent execution of cached methods. - ansible-test - Show the exception type when reporting errors during instance provisioning. - ansible-test sanity - correctly report invalid YAML in validate-modules (#75837). - argument spec validation - again report deprecated parameters for Python-based modules. This was accidentally removed in ansible-core 2.11 when argument spec validation was refactored (#79680, #79681). - argument spec validation - ensure that deprecated aliases in suboptions are also reported (#79740). - argument spec validation - fix warning message when two aliases of the same option are used for suboptions to also mention the option\'s name they are in (#79740). - connection local now avoids traceback on invalid user being used to execuet ansible (valid in host, but not in container). - file - touch action in check mode was always returning ok. Fix now evaluates the different conditions and returns the appropriate changed status. (#79360) - get_url - Ensure we are passing ciphers to all url_get calls (#79717) - plugin filter now works with rejectlist as documented (still falls back to blacklist if used). - uri - improve JSON content type detection
* Known Issues - ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing documentation. - ansible-test - Custom containers with VOLUME instructions may be unable to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the VOLUME instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause ansible-test to emit a warning. - ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking issues to continue using ansible-test with Podman. - ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.

* Wed Sep 07 2022 Johannes Kastl - update to 2.13.3: Changelog https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.13.3/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.13.rst
* Bugfixes - Avoid \'unreachable\' error when chmod on AIX has 255 as return code. - Fix PluginLoader to mimic Python import machinery by adding module to sys.modules before exec - Fix dnf module documentation to indicate that comparison operators for package version require spaces around them (#78295) - ansible-connection - decrypt vaulted parameters before sending over the socket, as vault secrets are not available on the other side. - ansible-galaxy - Fix reinitializing the whole collection directory with ansible-galaxy collection init ns.coll --force.

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 - Test configuration for collections is now parsed only once, prior to delegation. Fixes issue: #78334 - 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. An interactive shell is the default behavior when no command is given to pass to the shell. - dnf - fix output parsing on systems with LANGUAGE set to a language other than English (#78193) - if a config setting prevents running ansible it should at least show it\'s \"origin\". - prevent type annotation shim failures from causing runtime failures (#77860) - template module/lookup - fix convert_data option that was effectively always set to True for Jinja macros (#78141) - uri - properly use uri parameter use_proxy (#58632) - yum - fix traceback when releasever is specified with latest (#78058)
* Wed Jul 20 2022 Johannes Kastl - package conflicts with ansible < 3, i.e. the old packaging scheme
* Wed Jul 20 2022 Johannes Kastl - update to 2.13.2:
* Minor Changes - ansible-test - An improved error message is shown when the download of a pip bootstrap script fails. The download now uses urllib2 instead of urllib on Python 2.
* Bugfixes - Move undefined check from concat to finalize (#78156) - ansible-doc - no longer list module and plugin aliases that are created with symlinks (#78137). - ansible-doc - when listing modules in collections, proceed recursively. This fixes module listing for community.general 5.x.y and community.network 4.x.y (#78137). - ansible-doc will not add \'website for\' in \":ref:\" substitutions as it made them confusing. - file backed cache plugins now handle concurrent access by making atomic updates to the files. - password lookup does not ignore k=v arguments anymore. - user - Fix error \"Permission denied\" in user module while generating SSH keys (#78017).- update to 2.13.1:
* Minor Changes - Add an \'action_plugin\' field for modules in runtime.yml plugin_routing. This fixes module_defaults by supporting modules-as-redirected-actions without redirecting module_defaults entries to the common action. With the runtime.yml above for ns.coll, a task such as will end up with defaults for eos_facts and eos_command since both modules redirect to the same action. To select an action plugin for a module without merging module_defaults, define an action_plugin field for the resolved module in the runtime.yml. The action_plugin field can be a redirected action plugin, as it is resolved normally. Using the modified runtime.yml, the example task will only use the ns.coll.eos_facts defaults. - ansible-galaxy - Support resolvelib versions 0.6.x, 0.7.x, and 0.8.x. The full range of supported versions is now >= 0.5.3, < 0.9.0. - ansible-test - Add RHEL 9.0 remote support. - ansible-test - Add support for Ubuntu VMs using the --remote option. - ansible-test - Add support for exporting inventory with ansible-test shell --export {path}. - ansible-test - Add support for multi-arch remotes. - ansible-test - Add support for running non-interactive commands with ansible-test shell. - ansible-test - Avoid using the mock_use_standalone_module setting for unit tests running on Python 3.8 or later. - ansible-test - Blocking mode is now enforced for stdin, stdout and stderr. If any of these are non-blocking then ansible-test will exit during startup with an error. - ansible-test - Improve consistency of output messages by using stdout or stderr for most output, but not both. - ansible-test - The shell command can be used outside a collection if no controller delegation is required.
* Bugfixes - Add PyYAML >= 5.1 as a dependency of ansible-core to be compatible with Python 3.8+. - ansible-config dump - Only display plugin type headers when plugin options are changed if --only-changed is specified. - ansible-galaxy - handle unsupported versions of resolvelib gracefully. - ansible-test - Fix internal validation of remote completion configuration. - 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 avoids issues with subprocesses tampering with the file descriptors, such as SSH making them non-blocking. As a result of this change, subprocess output from unit and integration tests on stderr now go to stdout. - ansible-test - Subprocesses no longer have access to the TTY ansible-test is connected to, if any. This maintains consistent behavior between local testing and CI systems, which typically do not provide a TTY. Tests which require a TTY should use pexpect or another mechanism to create a PTY. - apt module now correctly handles virtual packages. - lookup plugin - catch KeyError when lookup returns dictionary (#77789). - pip - fix cases where resolution of pip Python module fails when importlib.util has not already been imported - plugin loader - Sort results when fuzzy matching plugin names (#77966). - plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (fqcn + short name). - psrp connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly. - winrm connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly.- update to 2.13.0: Full changelog see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.13/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.13.rst#v2130- update to 2.12.7:

* Bugfixes - pip - fix cases where resolution of pip Python module fails when importlib.util has not already been imported - plugin loader - Sort results when fuzzy matching plugin names (#77966).- update to 2.12.6:
* Bugfixes - Prevent losing unsafe on results returned from lookups (#77535) - arg_spec - Fix incorrect no_log warning when a parameter alias is used (#77576) - plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (fqcn + short name). - variablemanager, more efficient read of vars files- update to 2.12.5:
* Bugfixes - Ansible.ModuleUtils.SID - Use user principal name as is for lookup in the Convert-ToSID function - #77316 - Fix traceback when installing a collection from a git repository and git is not installed (#77479). - ansible-test - Correctly detect when running as the root user (UID 0) on the origin host. The result of the detection was incorrectly being inverted. - 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 compile sanity test - do not crash if a column could not be determined for an error (#77465). - hostname - use file_get_content() to read the file containing the host name in the FileStrategy.get_permanent_hostname() method. This prevents a TypeError from being raised when the strategy is used (#77025). - script - skip in check mode since the plugin cannot determine if a change will occur. - shell/command - only skip in check mode if the options creates and removes are both None. - winrm - Ensure kinit is run with the same PATH env var as the Ansible process
* Sat Apr 23 2022 Johannes Kastl - first version of package ansible-core at version 2.12.4
