-      **Thank you for wanting to suggest a feature for ansible-core!**
-
-
-
-      💡
-      Before you go ahead with your request, please first consider if it
-      would be useful for majority of the ansible-core users. As a
-      general rule of thumb, any feature that is only of interest to a
-      small sub group should be [implemented in a third-party Ansible
-      Collection][contribute to collections] or maybe even just your
-      project alone. Be mindful of the fact that the essential
-      ansible-core features have a broad impact.
-
-      If unsure, consider filing a [new proposal] instead outlining your
-      use-cases, the research and implementation considerations. Then,
-      start a discussion on one of the public [IRC meetings] we have just
-      for this.

-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- ansible-connection - decrypt vaulted parameters before sending over the socket, as vault secrets are not available on the other side.
-- ansible-galaxy - fix setting the cache for paginated responses from Galaxy NG/AH (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77911).
-- ansible-test - Delegation now properly handles arguments given after ``--`` on the command line.
-- file backed cache plugins now handle concurrent access by making atomic updates to the files.
-
-v2.12.7
-=======
-
-Release Summary
----------------
-
-| Release Date: 2022-06-20
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__
-
-
-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.
-
-  .. code: yaml
-
-     plugin_routing:
-       action:
-         facts:
-           redirect: ns.coll.eos
-         command:
-           redirect: ns.coll.eos
-       modules:
-         facts:
-           redirect: ns.coll.eos_facts
-         command:
-           redirect: ns.coll.eos_command
-
-  With the runtime.yml above for ns.coll, a task such as
-
-  .. code: yaml
-
-     - hosts: all
-       module_defaults:
-         ns.coll.eos_facts: {'valid_for_eos_facts': 'value'}
-         ns.coll.eos_command: {'not_valid_for_eos_facts': 'value'}
-       tasks:
-         - ns.coll.facts:
-
-  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.
-
-  .. code: yaml
-
-     plugin_routing:
-       modules:
-         facts:
-           redirect: ns.coll.eos_facts
-           action_plugin: ns.coll.eos
-         command:
-           redirect: ns.coll.eos_command
-           action_plugin: ns.coll.eos
-
-  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-test - Avoid using the ``mock_use_standalone_module`` setting for unit tests running on Python 3.8 or later.

-- Fix traceback when installing a collection from a git repository and git is not installed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/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.

-Release Summary
----------------
-
-| Release Date: 2022-02-28
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__
-
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- The collection loader now reports a Python warning if an attempt is made to install the Ansible collection loader a second time. Previously this condition was reported using an Ansible warning.
-- ansible-test - Installation of ``cryptography`` is no longer version constrained when ``openssl`` 1.1.0 or later is installed.
-- ansible-test - Requirements for the plugin import test are now frozen.
-- ansible-test - The ``pip`` and ``wheel`` packages are removed from all sanity test virtual environments after installation completes to reduce their size. Previously they were only removed from the environments used for the ``import`` sanity test.
-- ansible-test - The hash for all managed sanity test virtual environments has changed. Containers that include ``ansible-test sanity --prime-venvs`` will need to be rebuilt to continue using primed virtual environments.
-- ansible-test - Update ``pip`` used to bootstrap remote FreeBSD instances from version 20.3.4 to 21.3.1.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``alpine`` container to version 3.3.0. This updates the base image from 3.14.2 to 3.15.0, which includes support for installing binary wheels using pip.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``galaxy`` test plugin to get its container from a copy on quay.io.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``openshift`` test plugin to get its container from a copy on quay.io.
-- junit callback - Add support for replacing the directory portion of out-of-tree relative task paths with a placeholder.
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- ansible-test - All virtual environments managed by ansible-test are marked as usable after being bootstrapped, to avoid errors caused by use of incomplete environments. Previously this was only done for sanity tests. Existing environments from previous versions of ansible-test will be recreated on demand due to lacking the new marker.
-- ansible-test - Fix the ``validate-modules`` sanity test to avoid double-loading the collection loader and possibly failing on import of the ``packaging`` module.
-- ansible-test - Import ``yaml.cyaml.CParser`` instead of ``_yaml.CParser`` in the ``yamllint`` sanity test.
-- ansible-test - Replace the directory portion of out-of-tree paths in JUnit files from integration tests with the ``out-of-tree:`` prefix.
-- ansible-test - Sanity tests run with the ``--requirements` option for Python 2.x now install ``virtualenv`` when it is missing or too old. Previously it was only installed if missing. Version 16.7.12 is now installed instead of the latest version on Python 2.7.
-- ansible-test - The ``import`` sanity test no longer reports errors about ``packaging`` being missing when testing collections.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``default`` containers to version 4.2.0.
-- ansible-test - Use https://ci-files.testing.ansible.com/ for instance bootstrapping instead of an S3 endpoint.
-- ansible-test - Use relative paths in JUnit files generated during integration test runs.
-- ansible-test - Virtual environments managed by ansible-test now use consistent versions of ``pip``, ``setuptools`` and ``wheel``. This avoids issues with virtual environments containing outdated or dysfunctional versions of these tools. The initial bootstrapping of ``pip`` is done by ansible-test from an HTTPS endpoint instead of creating the virtual environment with it already present.
-- cleaning facts will now only warn about the variable name and not post the content, which can be undesireable to disclose
-- correctly inherit vars from parent in block (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75286).
-- gather_facts action now handles the move of base connection plugin types into collections to add/prevent subset argument correctly
-- junit callback - Fix traceback during automatic fact gathering when using relative paths.
-- junit callback - Fix unicode error when handling non-ASCII task paths.
-- ssh connection now uses more correct host source as play_context can ignore loop/delegation variations.
-- task_executor reverts the change to push facts into delegated vars on loop finalization as result managing code already handles this and was duplicating effort to wrong result.
-- template lookup - restore inadvertently deleted default for ``convert_data`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77004)
-- unarchive - Make extraction work when the LANGUAGE environment variable is set to a non-English locale.

-- ansible-test - Update help links to reference ``ansible-core`` instead of ``ansible``.
-- ansible-test - Update unit tests to use the ``--forked`` option instead of the deprecated ``--boxed`` option.
-- async - Improve performance of sending async callback events by never sending the full task through the queue (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76729)
-- default callback - Ensure we compare FQCN also in lockstep logic, to ensure using the FQCN of a strategy plugin triggers the correct behavior in the default callback plugin. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76782)
-- hostname - Do not require SystemdStrategy subclasses for every distro (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76792)
-- include_vars, properly initialize variable as there is corner case in which it can end up referenced and not defined
-- ssh connection - properly quote controlpersist path given by user to avoid issues with spaces and other characters
-- ssh connection avoid parsing ssh cli debug lines as they can match expected output at high verbosities.
-- sudo become plugin, fix handling of non interactive flags, previous substitution was too naive
-- unarchive - Fix zip archive file listing that caused issues with content postprocessing (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76067).
-- yum - prevent storing unnecessary cache data by running `yum makecache fast` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76336)

-
-Major Changes
--------------
-
-- Python Controller Requirement - Python 3.8 or newer is required for the control node (the machine that runs Ansible) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74013)
-- ansible-test - All "cloud" plugins which use containers can now be used with all POSIX and Windows hosts. Previously the plugins did not work with Windows at all, and support for hosts created with the ``--remote`` option was inconsistent.
-- ansible-test - Collections can now specify controller and target specific integration test requirements and constraints. If provided, they take precedence over the previously available requirements and constraints files.
-- ansible-test - Integration tests run with the ``integration`` command can now be executed on two separate hosts instead of always running on the controller. The target host can be one provided by ``ansible-test`` or by the user, as long as it is accessible using SSH.
-- ansible-test - Most container features are now supported under Podman. Previously a symbolic link for ``docker`` pointing to ``podman`` was required.
-- ansible-test - New ``--controller`` and ``--target`` / ``--target-python`` options have been added to allow more control over test environments.
-- ansible-test - Python 3.8 - 3.10 are now required to run ``ansible-test``, thus matching the Ansible controller Python requirements. Older Python versions (2.6 - 2.7 and 3.5 - 3.10) can still be the target for relevant tests.
-- ansible-test - SSH port forwarding and redirection is now used exclusively to make container ports available on non-container hosts. When testing on POSIX systems this requires SSH login as root. Previously SSH port forwarding was combined with firewall rules or other port redirection methods, with some platforms being unsupported.
-- ansible-test - Sanity tests always run in isolated Python virtual environments specific to the requirements of each test. The environments are cached.
-- ansible-test - Sanity tests are now separated into two categories, controller and target. All tests except ``import`` and ``compile`` are controller tests. The controller tests always run using the same Python version used to run ``ansible-test``. The target tests use the Python version(s) specified by the user, or all available Python versions.
-- ansible-test - Sanity tests now use fully pinned requirements that are independent of each other and other test types.
-- ansible-test - Tests run with the ``centos6`` and ``default`` test containers now use a PyPI proxy container to access PyPI when Python 2.6 is used. This allows tests running under Python 2.6 to continue functioning even though PyPI is discontinuing support for non-SNI capable clients.
-- ansible-test - The ``future-import-boilerplate`` and ``metaclass-boilerplate`` sanity tests are limited to remote-only code. Additionally, they are skipped for collections which declare no support for Python 2.x.
-- ansible-test - The ``import`` and ``compile`` sanity tests limit remote-only Python version checks to remote-only code.
-- ansible-test - Unit tests for controller-only code now require Python 3.8 or later.
-- ansible-test - Version neutral sanity tests now require Python 3.8 or later.
-- junit callback - The ``junit_xml`` and ``ordereddict`` Python modules are no longer required to use the ``junit`` callback plugin.
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- Add ``end_batch`` meta task.
-- Allow connection and become passwords to be set by file/executable script. Also document this was already the case for vault.
-- CLI - Remove ``__requires__`` attribute for ``pkg_resources``
-- Collections can define action_groups in ``meta/runtime.yml``.
-- Introduce a config option to enable/disable emitting warning about Jinja2 version being old for ``jinja2_native``. The option is on by default, only in CI it is off.
-- Make the code structure of ansible-doc's generic snippet feature more maintainable.
-- On RHEL 9, CentOS Stream 9 etc., use /usr/bin/python3 as the default interpreter; /usr/libexec/platform-python is just a backwards-compatibility symbolic link there.
-- PowerShell - Added support for optional module_util imports by scanning for ``-Optional`` at the end of the import declaration
-- Python 2.6 Target Support - Deprecate Python 2.6 for targets, requiring Python 2.7 or newer. ``ansible-core==2.13`` will drop support for Python 2.6. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74165)
-- Task - Add a resolved_action attribute for Task objects to get the final resolved plugin.
-- Templar - remove ``_fail_on_lookup_errors`` and ``_fail_on_filter_errors`` instance variables that were never used. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/73785)
-- The AnsiballZ Python wrapper now changes the working directory to ``~`` or ``/`` if the current one is not accessible. This allows become to drop privileges on macOS when using pipelining.
-- Update test container ansible-core-test-container to version 3.6.0
-- Update test container ansible-core-test-container to version 3.7.0
-- Update test container default-test-container to version 3.6.0
-- Update test container default-test-container to version 3.7.0
-- Update vendored copy of ``six`` to 1.16.0 to eliminate warnings for deprecated python loader methods in Python 3.10+ (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74659)
-- Update vendored copy of distro to 1.6.0
-- Vendor ``distutils.version`` due to it's deprecation in Python 3.10 and impending removal in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74599)
-- YAML parsing - Create common utils for loading and dumping YAML that prefer the C extensions if available
-- ``include_role`` - Allow use of ``omit`` in the ``from_*`` arguments (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/66349)
-- ``uri``/``get_url`` - Expose ``unredirected_headers`` to modules to allow user control
-- `ansible.plugins.callback.CallbackBase.host_label()` has been factored out as a static method (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/73814).
-- action_groups can include actions from other groups by using the special ``metadata`` dictionary field.
-- add a quick short circuit when checking if a string is a template to improve performance on large strings (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74336)
-- add host label to retry print statements
-- added new function to module utils to choose best possible locale.
-- adds the ``undef`` keyword to the templating environment. This allows for directly creating Undefined values in templates. It is most useful for providing a hint for variables which must be overridden.
-- ansbile-doc now also shows snippets for inventory and lookup, adding to existing modules.
-- ansible adhoc, clarified the help to some options, also added some comments to code.
-- ansible-cli - remove unnecessary trailing space in ``ansible --version`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74875).
-- ansible-config can now list and dump for specific documentable plugins by specifying them in the command line
-- ansible-config has new 'init' option to create, highly commented, example configurations as ini (ansible.cfg), environment variables (shell) or Ansible variable files (YAML)
-- ansible-config now supports displaying plugin configuration info.
-- ansible-doc - ``version_added`` in ``attributes`` now comes with ``version_added_collection`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74602).
-- ansible-doc - show ``version_added`` for the plugin/module itself in text output, and improve ``version_added`` formatting (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/73602).
-- ansible-doc now supports 'attributes' for plugins as per proposal.
-- ansible-doc pretty cli options output.
-- ansible-doc, improve handling of rstisms, try to make the display more meaningfull for the terminal users.
-- ansible-galaxy - Allow specification of client_id override value for Keycloak Token (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75593).
-- ansible-galaxy - Allow validate_certs to be configured for individual Galaxy servers (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75677).
-- ansible-galaxy - Installing a collection from a git repository without specifying a version (or using the version ``HEAD``) will clone the repository using --depth=1.
-- ansible-galaxy - Non-HTTP exceptions from Galaxy servers are now a warning and only fatal if the collection to download|install|verify is not available from any of the servers (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75443).
-- ansible-test - A new ``base`` test container is available. It is similar to the ``default`` test container, but contains no pre-installed Python packages other than ``pip`` and its dependencies.
-- ansible-test - Add RHEL 8.4 as a remote.
-- ansible-test - Add ``--prime-venvs`` option to create virtual environments without running tests.
-- ansible-test - Add constraint for ``decorator`` for Python versions prior to 3.5.
-- ansible-test - Add support for Windows Server 2022.
-- ansible-test - Add support for an ansible-test configuration file in collections under ``tests/config.yml``.
-- ansible-test - Add support for testing with Python 3.10.
-- ansible-test - Added a ``--prime-containers`` option to support downloading containers without running tests.
-- ansible-test - Adding DigitalOcean cloud support to ansible-test (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74222).
-- ansible-test - All "cloud" plugins have been refactored for more consistency. For those that use docker containers, management of the containers has been standardized.
-- ansible-test - All "cloud" plugins now use fixed hostnames and ports in tests. Previously some tests used IP addresses and/or randomly assigned ports.
-- ansible-test - Changes made to the ``hosts`` file on test systems are now done using an Ansible playbook for both POSIX and Windows systems. Changes are applied before a test target runs and are reverted after the test target finishes.
-- ansible-test - Clean up code in the cloud plugins.
-- ansible-test - Collections can declare their remote-only code (modules/module_utils and related tests) as controller-only.
-- ansible-test - Collections can limit the Python versions used for testing their remote-only code (modules/module_utils and related tests).
-- ansible-test - Command line help has been updated to hide the ``--remote`` option (and related options) when the user lacks an API key to use the feature.
-- ansible-test - Constraints provided by ``ansible-test`` for Python package installs have been reduced.
-- ansible-test - Default settings are now applied to unknown versions of known ``--remote`` platforms.
-- ansible-test - Distribution specific test containers have been updated to version 3.0.0.
-- ansible-test - Environment checking (``pip``, ``python``, ``~/.ssh/known_hosts``, etc.) is no longer performed when running integration tests.
-- ansible-test - Environment variables exposed by "cloud" plugins are now available to the controller for role based tests. Previously only script based tests had access to the exposed environment variables.
-- ansible-test - Fedora 32 and 33 (``fedora32`` and ``fedora33``) containers have been updated and now allow for ssh in more container environments.
-- ansible-test - Fedora 34 (``fedora34``) container has been added.
-- ansible-test - Installation of ``cryptography`` no longer occurs when it is already installed. This avoids downgrading existing OS packages.
-- ansible-test - Minor code cleanup.
-- ansible-test - More efficient string splitting.
-- ansible-test - Most scripts used internally by ``ansible-test`` no longer have a shebang or the executable bit set.
-- ansible-test - Move code from ``_data`` directory to ``_util`` directory.
-- ansible-test - Relocate change classification code.
-- ansible-test - Remove CI provider support for Shippable, now that the service has been discontinued.
-- ansible-test - Remove check for legacy ``core`` and ``extras`` directories.
-- ansible-test - Remove deprecated container ``fedora32``.

-- ansible-test - Removed the warning filter for ``PyYAML`` in the ``import`` sanity test.
-- ansible-test - Removed unused pip constraints. Collections may need to add their own constraints if they depended on any which were removed.
-- ansible-test - Reorganize code for individual commands.
-- ansible-test - Reorganize integration test implementation by command.
-- ansible-test - Rewrite the ``compile`` sanity test to improve error handling and support Python 3.10.
-- ansible-test - Sanity test warnings relating to Python version support have been improved.
-- ansible-test - Set minimum version constraints for ``pytest``.
-- ansible-test - Split out shell command implementation.
-- ansible-test - The "injector" scripts are now generated at runtime to avoid issues with symlinks and shebangs.
-- ansible-test - The HTTP Tester can now be used without the ``--docker`` or `--remote`` options. It still requires use of the ``docker`` command to run the container.
-- ansible-test - The HTTP Tester has been converted to a "cloud" plugin and can now be requested using the ``cloud/httptester`` alias. The original ``needs/httptester`` alias is still supported for backwards compatibility.
-- ansible-test - The ``--docker-keep-git`` option (used only for testing ansible-core) has been renamed to ``--keep-git``.
-- ansible-test - The ``--python`` option can be used without another delegation option such as the ``--venv`` or ``--docker`` options.
-- ansible-test - The ``ansible-test coverage`` commands ``combine``, ``report``, ``html`` and ``xml`` now support delegation.
-- ansible-test - The ``default`` test container has been updated to version 3.4.0 and now uses Python 3.9 by default instead of Python 3.6.
-- ansible-test - The ``docker run`` option ``--link`` is no longer used to connect test containers. As a result, changes are made to the ``/etc/hosts`` file as needed on all test containers. Previously containers which were used with the ``--link`` option did not require changes to the ``/etc/hosts`` file.
-- ansible-test - The ``import`` sanity test now requires that Ansible modules guard instantiation of ``AnsibleModule`` with a ``if __name__ == '__main__'`` conditional, or equivalent logic.
-- ansible-test - The ``import`` sanity test now requires that non-modules do not instantiate ``AnsibleModule`` on import.
-- ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test codes ``ansible-deprecated-module`` and ``collection-deprecated-module`` have been added.
-- ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test codes ``last-line-main-call``, ``missing-if-name-main`` and ``missing-main-call`` have been removed.
-- ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test no longer enforces the ``missing-if-name-main``, ``last-line-main-call`` or ``missing-main-call`` checks on non-deleted Ansible modules. Modules are still required to instantiate ``AnsibleModule`` when ``__name__ == '__main__'``.
-- ansible-test - Unit tests are now run in separate contexts (``controller``, ``modules``, ``module_utils``), each using separate invocations of ``pytest``.
-- ansible-test - Unit tests other than ``modules`` and ``module_utils`` are now run only on Python versions supported by the controller (Python 3.8+).
-- ansible-test - Update ``typed-ast`` constraint to version 1.4.3 for compatibility with Python 3.10.
-- ansible-test - Update distribution test containers from version 2.0.1 to 2.0.2.

-- ansible-test - Updated the help message for failed tests in the ``azure`` test plugin.
-- ansible-test - Upgrade ``pylint`` to version 2.9.3 and update its dependencies to the latest versions as well.
-- ansible-test - Using an unknown ``--docker`` or ``--remote`` environment now requires specifying a Python version.
-- ansible-test - add freebsd/13.0 as a remote option.
-- ansible-test - aws creates and exposes a new tiny_prefix variable to provide a shorter prefix for the AWS tests.
-- ansible-test - display recent ``ssh`` debug logs after connection failures (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75374)
-- ansible-test - validate-modules now properly checks ``attributes`` for plugins (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74602).
-- ansible-test - virtualenv-isolated.sh is no longer provided. Prefer virtualenv.sh in its place.

-Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
---------------------------------
-
-- Action, module, and group names in module_defaults must be static values. Their values can still be templates.
-- Fully qualified 'ansible.legacy' plugin names are not included implicitly in action_groups.
-- Unresolvable groups, action plugins, and modules in module_defaults are an error.
-- ansible-test - Automatic installation of requirements for "cloud" test plugins no longer occurs. The affected test plugins are ``aws``, ``azure``, ``cs``, ``hcloud``, ``nios``, ``opennebula``, ``openshift`` and ``vcenter``. Collections should instead use one of the supported integration test requirements files, such as the ``tests/integration/requirements.txt`` file.
-- ansible-test - The HTTP Tester is no longer available with the ``ansible-test shell`` command. Only the ``integration`` and ``windows-integration`` commands provide HTTP Tester.
-- ansible-test - The ``--disable-httptester`` option is no longer available. The HTTP Tester is no longer optional for tests that specify it.
-- ansible-test - The ``--httptester`` option is no longer available. To override the container used for HTTP Tester tests, set the ``ANSIBLE_HTTP_TEST_CONTAINER`` environment variable instead.
-- ansible-test - Unit tests for ``modules`` and ``module_utils`` are now limited to importing only ``ansible.module_utils`` from the ``ansible`` module.
-- conditionals - ``when`` conditionals no longer automatically parse string booleans such as ``"true"`` and ``"false"`` into actual booleans. Any non-empty string is now considered true. The ``CONDITIONAL_BARE_VARS`` configuration variable no longer has any effect.
-- hostname - Drops any remaining support for Python 2.4 by using ``with open()`` to simplify exception handling code which leaked file handles in several spots
-- hostname - On FreeBSD, the string ``temporarystub`` no longer gets written to the hostname file in the get methods (and in check_mode). As a result, the default hostname will now appear as ``''`` (empty string) instead of ``temporarystub`` for consistency with other strategies. This means the ``before`` result will be different.
-- hostname - On OpenRC systems and Solaris, the ``before`` value will now be ``''`` (empty string) if the permanent hostname file does not exist, for consistency with other strategies.
-- intersect, difference, symmetric_difference, union filters - the default behavior is now to be case-sensitive (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74255)
-- unique filter - the default behavior is now to fail if Jinja2's filter fails and explicit ``case_sensitive=False`` as the Ansible's fallback is case-sensitive (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74256)
-
-Deprecated Features
--------------------
-
-- ansible-test - The ``--docker-no-pull`` option is deprecated and has no effect.
-- ansible-test - The ``--no-pip-check`` option is deprecated and has no effect.
-- include action is deprecated in favor of include_tasks, import_tasks and import_playbook.
-- module_utils' FileLock is scheduled to be removed, it is not used due to its unreliable nature.
-
-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
-----------------------------------------
-
-- The built-in module_util ``ansible.module_utils.common.removed`` was previously deprecated and has been removed.
-- connections, removed password check stubs that had been moved to become plugins.
-- task, inline parameters being auto coerced into variables has been removed.
-
-Security Fixes
---------------
-
-- Do not include params in exception when a call to ``set_options`` fails. Additionally, block the exception that is returned from being displayed to stdout. (CVE-2021-3620)
-- templating engine fix for not preserving usnafe status when trying to preserve newlines. CVE-2021-3583

-- Templating - Ensure we catch exceptions when calling ``.filters()`` or ``.tests()`` on their respective plugins and properly error, instead of aborting which results in no filters being added to the jinja2 environment (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74127)
-- The ``apt_key`` module did not properly handle GnuPG errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74477)
-- The error message about the failure to import a ```gpg`` key by the ``apt_key`` module was incorrect (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74423).

-- ``failed_when``/``changed_when`` - Catch templating errors to prevent masking of module output (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/37187)
-- ``heuristic_log_sanitize`` - Return the full string if there is no password (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75542)
-- ``pip`` now uses the ``pip`` Python module installed for the Ansible module's Python interpreter, if available, unless ``executable`` or ``virtualenv`` were specified.
-- advanced_host_list inventory plugin - Fixed variable referenced before assignment when hostname/range could not be parsed.
-- ansiballz - avoid treating path to site_packages as regex; escape it. This prevents a crash when ansible is installed to, or running from, an oddly named directory like ``ansi[ble``
-- ansible-doc - in text output, do not show empty ``version_added_collection`` values (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74999).
-- ansible-doc can now dump kewyords with --metadata-dump (still just for internal use)
