 Coding Guidelines
 =================
 
-Hi!  Thanks for your interest in contributing to Ansible.
+Hi! Thanks for your interest in contributing to Ansible. We document our Coding Guidelines in the [Developer Guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/). We particularly suggest you review:
 
-Here are some guidelines for contributing code.  The purpose of this document is to establish what we're looking for in code contributions, and to make sure
-new contributors know some of the conventions that we've been using.
+* [Contributing your module to Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_checklist.html)
 
-We don't think much of this should be too strange to readers familiar with contributing to Python projects, though it helps if we all get on the same page.
+* [Development conventions, tips and pitfalls](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html)
 
-Language
-========
-
-  * While not all components of Ansible must be in Python, core contributions to the Ansible repo must be written in Python.  This is to maximize the ability of everyone to contribute.
-  * If you want to write non-Python ansible modules or inventory scripts, that's fine, but they are not going to get merged in most likely.  Sorry!!
-
-PEP 8 and basic style checks
-============================
-
-  * [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) is a great Python style guide, which you should read.
-  * PEP 8 must not be strictly followed in all aspects, but most of it is good advice.
-  * The line is limited to 160 characters.
-  * To run checks for things we care about, use [ansible-test](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/testing_sanity.html).
-  * Similarly, additional checks can be made with "make pyflakes".
-  * There is no need to submit code changes for PEP 8 and pyflakes fixes, as these break attribution history.  Project leadership will make these periodically.
-  * Do not submit pull requests that simply adjust whitespace in the code.
-
-Testing
-=======
-
-  * Much of Ansible's testing needs are in integration, not unit tests.  Add module tests there.
-  * That being said, there are unit tests too!
-  * Code written must absolutely pass tests (i.e. "make tests")
-  * You should anticipate any error paths in your code and test down those error paths.
-  * Additions to tests for core code are welcome, but not always possible.  Be sure things are at least well tested manually in that case.
-
-Whitespace
-==========
-
-  * Four space indent is strictly required
-  * Include meaningful whitespace between lines of code
-
-Shebang Lines
-=============
-
-  * /usr/bin/scripts should start with '/usr/bin/env python'
-  * module code should still use '/usr/bin/python' as this is replaced automatically by 'ansible_python_interpreter', see the FAQ in the docs for more info.
-
-Comments
-========
-
-  * Readability is one of the most important goals for this project
-  * Comment any non-trivial code where someone might not know why you are doing something in a particular way
-  * Though if something should be commented, that's often a sign someone should write a function
-  * All new functions must have a basic docstring comment
-  * Commenting above a line is preferable to commenting at the end of a line
-
-Classes
-=======
-
-  * With the exception of module code (where inline is better), it is desirable to see classes in their own files.
-  * Classes should generally not cause side effects as soon as they are instantiated, move meaningful behavior to methods rather than constructors.
-
-Functions and Methods
-=====================
-
-  * In general, functions should not be 'too long' and should describe a meaningful amount of work
-  * When code gets too nested, that's usually the sign the loop body could benefit from being a function
-  * Parts of our existing code are not the best examples of this at times.
-  * Functions should have names that describe what they do, along with docstrings
-  * Functions should be named with_underscores
-  * "Don't repeat yourself" is generally a good philosophy
-
-Variables
-=========
-
-  * Use descriptive variable names instead of variables like 'x', unless x is an obvious loop index
-  * Ansible python code uses identifiers like 'ClassesLikeThis and variables_like_this
-  * Module parameters should also use_underscores and not runtogether
-
-Module Security
-===============
-
-  * Modules must take steps to avoid passing user input from the shell and always check return codes
-  * always use module.run_command instead of subprocess or Popen or os.system -- this is mandatory
-  * if you need to use the shell you must pass use_unsafe_shell=True to module.run_command
-  * if you do not need the shell, avoid using the shell
-  * any variables that can come from the user input with use_unsafe_shell=True must be wrapped by pipes.quote(x)
-  * downloads of https:// resource urls must import module_utils.urls and use the fetch_url method
-
-Misc Preferences
-================
-
-Use the dict constructor where possible when allocating dictionaries:
-
-    # not this:
-    foo = {
-       'a' : 12,
-       'b' : 34
-    }
-
-    # this:
-    foo = dict(
-       a=12,
-       b=34,
-    )
-
-Do not line up variables
-
-    # not this
-    a        = 12
-    foosball = 34
-    xyz      = 'dog'
-
-    # this
-    a = 12
-    foosball = 34
-    xyz = 'dog'
-
-Don't use line continuations:
-
-    # no
-    if (this_is_a_very_long_line and foo and \
-       i_am_going_to_continue_it):
-          bar()
-
-    # better:
-    if (this_is_a_very_long_line and foo and i_am_going_to_continue_it):
-       bar()
-
-Spacing:
-
-    # no
-    x = [1,2,3]
-
-    # no
-    x = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
-
-    # yes
-    x = [1, 2, 3]
-
-Spacing continued:
-
-    # no
-    x=foo(12)
-
-    # no
-    x = foo( 12 )
-
-    # yes
-    x = foo(12)
-
-Licenses
-========
-
-Every file should have a license header, including the copyright of the original author.  Major additions to the module are allowed
-to add an additional copyright line, and this is especially true of rewrites, but original authorship copyright messages should be preserved.
-
-All contributions to the core repo should preserve original licenses and new contributions must include the GPLv3 header.
-
-Module Documentation
-====================
-
-All module pull requests must include a DOCUMENTATION docstring (YAML format,
-see other modules for examples) as well as an EXAMPLES docstring, which is free form.
-
-When adding new modules, any new parameter must have a "version_added" attribute.
-When submitting a new module, the module should have a "version_added" attribute in the
-pull request as well, set to the current development version.
-
-Be sure to check grammar and spelling.
-
-It's frequently the case that modules get submitted with YAML that isn't valid,
-so you can run "make webdocs" from the checkout to preview your module's documentation.
-If it fails to build, take a look at your DOCUMENTATION string
-or you might have a Python syntax error in there too.
-
-Python Imports
-==============
-
-To make it clear what a module is importing, imports should not be sprinkled throughout the code.
-
-Python Imports should happen at the top of the file, exempting code from module_utils.
-
-When a conditional runtime import is required, do so something like this instead:
-
-    HAS_FOO = False
-    try:
-       import foo
-       HAS_FOO = True
-    except ImportError:
-       pass
-
-    ...
-
-    if not HAS_FOO:
-       raise Exception("the foo library is required")
-
-This makes it clear what optional dependencies are but allows this to be deferred until runtime.   In the case of module code, the raising of the Exception will be replaced
-with a "module.exit_json" call.
-
-Exceptions
-==========
-
-In the main body of the code, use typed exceptions where possible:
-
-    # not this
-    raise Exception("panic!")
-
-    # this
-    from ansible import errors
-    ...
-    raise errors.AnsibleError("panic!")
-
-Similarly, exception checking should be fine grained:
-
-    # not this
-    try:
-       foo()
-    except:
-       bar()
-
-    # but this
-    try:
-       foo()
-    except SomeTypedException:
-       bar()
-
-List Comprehensions
-===================
-
-In general list comprehensions are always preferred to map() and filter() calls.
-
-However, they can be abused.  Optimize for readability, and avoid nesting them too deeply.
-
-Regexes
-=======
-
-There is a time and place for them, but here's an illustrative joke.
-
-"A developer had a problem, and used a regular expression to solve it.  Now the developer had two problems".
-
-Often regexes are difficult to maintain, and a trusty call to other string operations can be a great solution, faster,
-and more readable.
-
-File Conventions
-================
-
-If a piece of code looks for a named YAML file in a directory, it should assume it can take no extension, or an extension of '.yml' or '.yaml'.
-This should be true against all code that loads files.
-
-Any code that uses directories should consider the possibility that the directory may be symlink.
-
-New Ansible language parameters
-===============================
-
-If adding a new parameter, like 'can_fizzbuzz: True/False' be sure the value of the parameter is templated somewhere in the Runner code, as if anything can be parameterized in Ansible,
-there is a user that will try to parameterize it.
-
-String Find
-===========
-
-Use 'in':
-
-    # not this:
-    if x.find('foo') != -1:
-
-    # this:
-    if 'foo' in x:
-
-String checks
-=============
-
-To test if something is a string, consider that it may be unicode.
-
-    # no
-    if type(x) == str:
-
-    # yes
-    from ansible.module_utils.six import string_types
-    if isinstance(x, string_types):
-
-Cleverness
-==========
-
-Ansible's code is intended to be read by as many people as possible, so we don't particularly encourage clever or heavily idiomatic code.
-
-In particular, metaclasses are probably not appropriate, however entertaining they may be to add.
-
-Git Practices
-=============
-
-Pull requests cannot be accepted if they contain merge commits.
-
-Always do "git pull --rebase" and "git rebase" vs "git pull" or "git merge". See [rebasing a pull request](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html) for more information.
-
-Always create a new branch for each pull request to avoid intermingling different features or fixes on the same branch.
-
-
-Python Version Compliance
-=========================
-
-All code in Ansible core must support a minimum version of Python 2.6.
-
-Module code must support a minimum of Python 2.4, with occasional exceptions for modules that require code that themselves require 2.6 and later.
-
-A quick reminder is that list comprehensions in Python 2.4 are not as fully fleshed out, there are no 'dict' comprehensions, and there is no 'with' statement.
-But otherwise it's pretty much all the same.
-
-The End
-=======
-
-This was not meant to be a scary document, so we hope it wasn't, but we also hope this helps you write code that is easier to maintain by others in the future.
-If you have questions about this document, please ask on the ansible-devel mailing list.
-
-Thank you!

+-------------
+
+- Added documentation about using VMware dynamic inventory plugin.
+- Fixed bug around populating host_ip in hostvars in vmware_vm_inventory.
+- Image reference change in Azure VMSS is detected and applied correctly.
+- docker_volume - reverted changed behavior of ``force``, which was released in Ansible 2.7.1 to 2.7.5, and Ansible 2.6.8 to 2.6.11.

+
+Bugfixes

+
+- Added log message at -vvvv when using netconf connection listing connection details.

+- correct behaviour of verify_file for vmware inventory plugin, it was always returning True
+- dnf - fix issue where ``conf_file`` was not being loaded properly
+- dnf - fix update_cache combined with install operation to not cause dnf transaction failure

+- docker_container - warning when non-string env values are found, avoiding YAML parsing issues. Will be made an error in Ansible 2.8. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/49802)

+- icinga2_host - fixed the issue with not working ``use_proxy`` option of the module.
+- influxdb_user - An unspecified password now sets the password to blank, except on existing users. This previously caused an unhandled exception.
+- influxdb_user - Fixed unhandled exception when using invalid login credentials (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/50131)

 Release Summary

@@ -42,8 +562,10 @@ Minor Changes
 - Explicit encoding for the output of the template module, to be able to generate non-utf8 files from a utf-8 template. (https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/121)
 - File locking feature added, making it possible to gain exclusive access to given file through module_utils.common.file.FileLock (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29962)
 - Fix dnf handling of autoremove to be compatible with yum
+- Fix timer in exponential backoff algorithm in vmware.py.
 - Fixed group action idempotent transactions in dnf backend
 - Fixed group actions in check mode to report correct changed state
+- GCP Modules will do home path expansion on service account file paths
 - In Ansible-2.4 and above, Ansible passes the temporary directory a module should use to the module.  This is done via a module parameter (_ansible_tmpdir).  An earlier version of this which was also prototyped in Ansible-2.4 development used an environment variable, ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TMP to pass this information to the module instead.  When we switched to using a module parameter, the environment variable was left in by mistake. Ansible-2.7 removes that variable.  Any third party modules which relied on it should use the module parameter instead.
 - New config options `display_ok_hosts` and `display_failed_stderr` (along with the existing `display_skipped_hosts` option) allow more fine-grained control over the way that ansible displays output from a playbook (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41058)
 - Removed an unnecessary import from the AnsiballZ wrapper
@@ -53,15 +575,19 @@ Minor Changes
 - The acme_account and acme_certificate modules now support two backends: the Python cryptograpy module or the OpenSSL binary. By default, the modules detect if a new enough cryptography module is available and use it, with the OpenSSL binary being a fallback. If the detection fails for some reason, the OpenSSL binary backend can be explicitly selected by setting select_crypto_backend to openssl.
 - The apt, ec2_elb_lb, elb_classic_lb, and unarchive modules have been ported away from using __file__.  This is futureproofing as__file__ won't work if we switch to using python -m to invoke modules in the future or if we figure out a way to make a module never touch disk for pipelining purposes.
 - The password_hash filter supports all parameters of passlib. This allows users to provide a rounds parameter. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/15326)
+- action plugins strictly accept valid parameters and report invalid parameters
 - allow user to customize default ansible-console prompt/msg default color
 - aws_caller_facts - The module now outputs the "account_alias" as well
 - aws_rds - Add new inventory plugin for RDS instances and clusters to match behavior in the ec2 inventory script.
 - command module - Add support for check mode when passing creates or removes arguments. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40428)
+- dnf - group removal does not work if group was installed with Ansible because of dnf upstream bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1620324
 - ec2_group - Add diff mode support with and without check mode. This feature is preview and may change when a common framework is adopted for AWS modules.
 - elasticsearch_plugin - Add the possibility to use the elasticsearch_plugin installation batch mode to install plugins with advanced privileges without user interaction.
 - gather_subset - removed deprecated functionality for using comma separated list with gather_subset (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/44320)
 - get_url - implement [expend checksum format to <algorithm>:(<checksum>|<url>)] (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/27617)
+- import_tasks - Do not allow import_tasks to transition to dynamic if the file is missing (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/44822)

 - Modules will no longer be able to rely on the __file__ attribute pointing to a real file.  If your third party module is using __file__ for something it should be changed before 2.8.  See the 2.7 porting guide for more information.
 - The `skippy`, `full_skip`, `actionable`, and `stderr` callback plugins have been deprecated in favor of config options that influence the behavior of the `default` callback plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41058)
+- win_disk_image - the return value ``mount_path`` is deprecated and will be removed in 2.11, this can be accessed through ``mount_paths[0]`` instead.

 - **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 could 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)
 - **Security Fix** - avoid loading host/group vars from cwd when not specifying a playbook or playbook base dir
 - **Security Fix** - avoid using ansible.cfg in a world writable dir.
+- Add ambiguous command check as the error message is not persistent on nexus devices (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45337).
+- Add argspec to aws_application_scaling_policy module to handle metric specifications, scaling cooldowns, and target values. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45235
 - Additional checks ensure that there is always a result of hashing passwords in the password_hash filter and vars_prompt, otherwise an error is returned. Some modules (like user module) interprets None as no password at all, which can be dangerous if the password given above is passed directly into those modules.
+- Allow arbitrary ``log_driver`` for docker_container (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/33579).
 - Avoids deprecated functionality of passlib with newer library versions.
 - 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)
 - Fix alt linux detection/matching
 - Fix an atomic_move error that is 'true', but  misleading. Now we show all 3 files involved and clarify what happened.
+- Fix ec2_group support for multi-account and peered VPC security groups. Reported in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issue/44788 and fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45296
+- Fix ecs_taskdefinition handling of changed role_arn. If the task role in a ECS task definition changes ansible should create a new revsion of the task definition. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45317
 - Fix glob path of rc.d Some distribtuions like SUSE has the rc%.d directories under /etc/init.d
+- Fix health check parameter handling in elb_target_group per https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43244 about health_check_port. Fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45314

+- Fix terminal plugin regex nxos, iosxr (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45135).
 - Fix the mount module's handling of swap entries in fstab (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42837)
 - Fixed an issue where ``ansible_facts.pkg_mgr`` would incorrectly set to ``zypper`` on Debian/Ubuntu systems that happened to have the command installed.
 - Fixed runtime module to be able to handle syslog_facility properly when python systemd module installed in a target system. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41078)
 - Grafana dashboard module compatible with grafana 5 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41249)
 - On Python2, loading config values from environment variables could lead to a traceback if there were nonascii characters present.  Converted them to text strings so that no traceback will occur (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43468)
+- Remove spurious `changed=True` returns when ec2_group module is used with numeric ports. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45240

+- The docker_* modules respect the DOCKER_* environment variables again (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42641).
 - The fix for `CVE-2018-10875 <https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-10875>`__ prints out a warning message about skipping a config file from a world writable current working directory.  However, if the user explicitly specifies that the config file should be used via the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable then Ansible would honor that but still print out the warning message.  This has been fixed so that Ansible honors the user's explicit wishes and does not print a warning message in that circumstance.
 - The fix for `CVE-2018-10875 <https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-10875>`__ prints out a warning message about skipping a config file from a world writable current working directory.  However, if the user is in a world writable current working directory which does not contain a config file, it should not print a warning message.  This release fixes that extaneous warning.
 - The ssh connection plugin was categorizing all 255 exit statuses as an ssh error but modules can return exit code 255 as well.  The connection plugin has now been changed to know that certain instances of exit code 255 are not ssh-related.  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41716)
