-description: Suggest an idea for this project
-
-body:
-- type: markdown

-    value: >
-      **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.

+Coding Guidelines
+=================
+
+Hi!  Thanks for interest in contributing to Ansible.
+
+Here are some guidelines for contributing code.  The purpose of this document are to establish what we're looking for in code contributions, and to make sure
+new contributions know some of the conventions that we've been using.
+
+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.
+
+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!!  
+
+PEP8 and basic style checks
+===========================
+
+  * PEP8 is a great Python style guide, which you should read.
+  * PEP8 must not be strictly followed in all aspects, but most of it is good advice
+  * In particular, we don't really care about line lengths.  Buy a bigger monitor!
+  * To run checks for things we care about, run "make pep8"
+  * Similarly, additional checks can be made with "make pyflakes"
+  * There is no need to submit code changes for pep8 and pyflake 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 is 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 a 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 use need 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
+    )
+
+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
+    if isinstance(x, basestring):
+
+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 that contain merge commits.
+
+Always do "git pull --rebase" and "git rebase" vs "git pull" or "git merge".
+
+Always create a new branch for each pull request to avoid intertwingling 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 exception 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!

+
+Ansible
+=======
+
+Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system.  It handles configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration - including trivializing things like zero downtime rolling updates with load balancers.
+
+Read the documentation and more at http://ansible.com/
+
+Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release.  
+
+You can find instructions [here](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_getting_started.html) for a variety of platforms.  If you decide to go with the development branch, be sure to run `git submodule update --init --recursive` after doing a checkout. 
+
+If you want to download a tarball of a release, go to [releases.ansible.com](http://releases.ansible.com/ansible), though most users use `yum` (using the EPEL instructions linked above), `apt` (using the PPA instructions linked above), or `pip install ansible`.
+
+Design Principles
+=================
+
+   * Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
+   * Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
+   * Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by leveraging the existing SSH daemon
+   * Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human friendly
+   * Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
+   * Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any software
+   * Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
+   * Be usable as non-root
+   * Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.
+  
+Get Involved
+============
+
+   * Read [Community Information](http://docs.ansible.com/community.html) for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.  
+   * All code submissions are done through pull requests.  Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use `git rebase` vs `git merge` for this reason.  If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts.  This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.
+   * Users list: [ansible-project](http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project)
+   * Development list: [ansible-devel](http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-devel)
+   * Announcement list: [ansible-announce](http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-announce) - read only
+   * irc.freenode.net: #ansible
+
+Branch Info
+===========
+
+   * Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0 were named after Van Halen songs.)
+   * The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
+   * As of 1.8, modules are kept in different repos, you'll want to follow [core](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core) and [extras](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras)
+   * Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
+   * We'd love to have your contributions, read [Community Information](http://docs.ansible.com/community.html) for notes on how to get started.

-Ansible
-*******
-
-Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles
-configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning,
-ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex
-changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy. More information on the Ansible `website <https://ansible.com/>`_.
-
-Design Principles
-=================
-
-*  Have an extremely simple setup process with a minimal learning curve.
-*  Manage machines quickly and in parallel.
-*  Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by
-   leveraging the existing SSH daemon.
-*  Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human
-   friendly.
-*  Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content.
-*  Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any
-   software.
-*  Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python.
-*  Be usable as non-root.
-*  Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.
-
-Use Ansible
-===========
-
-You can install a released version of Ansible with ``pip`` or a package manager. See our
-`installation guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html>`_ for details on installing Ansible
-on a variety of platforms.
-
-Power users and developers can run the ``devel`` branch, which has the latest
-features and fixes, directly. Although it is reasonably stable, you are more likely to encounter
-breaking changes when running the ``devel`` branch. We recommend getting involved
-in the Ansible community if you want to run the ``devel`` branch.
-
-Get Involved
-============
-
-*  Read `Community
-   Information <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community>`_ for all
-   kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project,
-   including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and
-   code to Ansible.
-*  Join a `Working Group
-   <https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki>`_, an organized community devoted to a specific technology domain or platform.
-*  Submit a proposed code update through a pull request to the ``devel`` branch.
-*  Talk to us before making larger changes
-   to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone
-   know what is going on, but it also helps save time and effort if we decide
-   some changes are needed.
-*  For a list of email lists, IRC channels and Working Groups, see the
-   `Communication page <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/communication.html>`_
-
-Coding Guidelines
-=================
-
-We document our Coding Guidelines in the `Developer Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/>`_. We particularly suggest you review:
-
-* `Contributing your module to Ansible <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_checklist.html>`_
-* `Conventions, tips, and pitfalls <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html>`_
-
-Branch Info
-===========
-
-*  The ``devel`` branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
-*  The ``stable-2.X`` branches correspond to stable releases.
-*  Create a branch based on ``devel`` and set up a `dev environment <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html#common-environment-setup>`_ if you want to open a PR.
-*  See the `Ansible release and maintenance <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html>`_ page for information about active branches.
-
-Roadmap
-=======
-
-Based on team and community feedback, an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (ex: 2.7, 2.8).
-The `Ansible Roadmap page <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/>`_ details what is planned and how to influence the roadmap.

-ansible-core 2.13 "Nobody's Fault but Mine" Release Notes
-=========================================================
-
-.. contents:: Topics
-
-
-v2.13.2rc1
-==========
-
-Release Summary
----------------
-
-| Release Date: 2022-07-11
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__
-
-
-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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78156)
-- ansible-doc - no longer list module and plugin aliases that are created with symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78017).
-
-v2.13.1
-=======
-
-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-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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/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.

-v2.13.0
-=======
-
-Release Summary
----------------
-
-| Release Date: 2022-05-16
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__
-
-
-Major Changes
--------------
-
-- Jinja2 Controller Requirement - Jinja2 3.0.0 or newer is required for the control node (the machine that runs Ansible) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75881)
-- Templating - remove ``safe_eval`` in favor of using ``NativeEnvironment`` but utilizing ``literal_eval`` only in cases when ``safe_eval`` was used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75587)
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- Action Plugins - Add helper method for argument spec validation, and extend to pause and async_wrapper
-- Added AIX root CA certs folders - enhance the TLS support in ``uri`` task on AIX
-- Added ``module_utils.compat.typing`` to facilitate type-hinting on all supported Python versions.
-- Ansible.Basic - small changes to allow use in PowerShell modules running on non-Windows platforms (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76924).
-- AnsibleModule.run_command() now has a toggle to allow caller to decide to handle exceptions from executing the command itself
-- Attach concat function to an environment class (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76282)
-- Clarify in a comment that unrolling an iterator in ``Templar._finalize`` is actually necessary. Also switch to using the ``_unroll_iterator`` decorator directly to deduplicate code in ``Templar._finalize``. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76436)
-- Installation - modernize our python installation, to reduce dynamic code in setup.py, and migrate what is feasible to setup.cfg. This will enable shipping wheels in the future.
-- PlayIterator - introduce public methods to access ``PlayIterator._host_states`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74416)
-- PlayIterator - use enums for Iterating and Failed states (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74511)
-- Reduce number of iterations through PlayIterator (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74175)
-- Remove more Python 2.x compatibility code from controller (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77320).
-- Start of moving away from using Six, Python 2 and 3 compatibility library (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75863)
-- 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-galaxy collection [install|verify]`` - allow user-provided signature sources in addition to those from the Galaxy server. Each collection entry in a requirements file can specify a ``signatures`` key followed by a list of sources. Collection name(s) provided on the CLI can specify additional signature sources by using the ``--signatures`` CLI option. Signature sources should be URIs that can be opened with ``urllib.request.urlopen()``, such as "https://example.com/path/to/detached_signature.asc" or "file:///path/to/detached_signature.asc". The ``--keyring`` option must be specified if signature sources are provided.
-- ``ansible-galaxy collection [install|verify]`` - use gpg to verify the authenticity of the signed ``MANIFEST.json`` with ASCII armored detached signatures provided by the Galaxy server. The keyring (which is not managed by ``ansible-galaxy``) must be provided with the ``--keyring`` option to use signature verification. If no ``--keyring`` is specified and the collection to ``install|verify`` has associated detached signatures on the Galaxy server, a warning is provided.
-- ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Add a global configuration to modify the required number of signatures that must verify the authenticity of the collection. By default, the number of required successful signatures is 1. Set this option to ``all`` to require all signatures verify the collection. To ensure signature verification fails if there are no valid signatures, prepend the value with '+', such as ``+all`` or ``+1``.
-- ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Add a global ignore list for gpg signature errors. This can be used to ignore certain signatures when the number of required successful signatures is all. When the required number of successful signatures is a positive integer, the only effect this has is to display fewer errors to the user on failure (success is determined by having the minimum number of successful signatures, in which case all errors are disregarded).
-- ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Add a global toggle to turn off GPG signature verification.
-- ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Store Galaxy server metadata alongside installed collections for provenance. Signatures obtained from the Galaxy server can be used for offline verification with ``ansible-galaxy collection verify --offline``.
-- ansible-console - Provide a  way to customize the stdout callback
-- ansible-core modules - Remove unused Python shebangs from built-in modules.
-- ansible-doc metadata dump - add option ``--no-fail-on-errors`` which allows to not fail the ansible-doc invocation when errors happen during docs parsing or processing. Instead they are reported in the JSON result in an ``error`` key for the affected plugins (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77035).
-- ansible-galaxy - the option to skip certificate verification now also applies when cloning via SCM (git/hg) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41077)
-- ansible-test - Accept new-style Python modules without a shebang.
-- ansible-test - Add ``--version`` support to show the ansible-core version.
-- ansible-test - Add support for ``rhel/8.5`` remote instances.
-- ansible-test - Add support for remote testing of FreeBSD 12.3.
-- ansible-test - Add support for running container tests with ``podman remote`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75753)
-- ansible-test - Added the ``fedora35`` test container.
-- ansible-test - Change the maximum number of open files in a test container from the default to ``10240``.
-- ansible-test - Declare public dependencies of ansible-core and use to limit unguarded imports in plugins.
-- ansible-test - Importing ``distutils`` now results in an error.
-- ansible-test - Installation of ``cryptography`` is no longer version constrained when ``openssl`` 1.1.0 or later is installed.

-- ansible-test - Stop early with an error if the current working directory contains an invalid collection namespace or name.
-- ansible-test - The ``--help`` option is now available when an unsupported cwd is in use.
-- ansible-test - The ``--help`` output now shows the same instructions about cwd as would be shown in error messages if the cwd is unsupported.
-- 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 explanation about cwd usage has been improved to explain more clearly what is required.
-- 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 ``base`` container to version 2.1.0.
-- ansible-test - Update ``base`` container to version 2.2.0.

-- ansible-test - add macOS 12.0 as a remote target (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76328)
-- ansible-test - handle JSON decode error gracefully in podman environment.
-- ansible-test pslint - Added the `AvoidLongLines <https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer/blob/master/docs/Rules/AvoidLongLines.md>`_ rule set to a length of 160.

-- shell/command - only skip in check mode if the options `creates` and `removes` are both None.
-- ssh connection - properly quote controlpersist path given by user to avoid issues with spaces and other characters

-        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 - Automatic target requirements installation is now based on
-        the target environment instead of the controller environment.
-      - ansible-test - Correctly detect when running as the ``root`` user (UID 0)

-        in the ``yamllint`` sanity test.
-      - ansible-test - Limit ``paramiko`` installation to versions before 2.9.0. This
-        is required to maintain support for systems which do not support RSA SHA-2
-        algorithms.
-      - ansible-test - Pylint Deprecated Plugin - Use correct message symbols when
-        date or version is not a float or str (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77085)
-      - ansible-test - Relocate constants to eliminate symlink.

-        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.
-      - ansible-test - Set the ``pytest`` option ``--rootdir`` instead of letting
-        it be auto-detected.
-      - ansible-test - Show an error message instead of a traceback when running outside
-        of a supported directory.

-      - ansible-test - Use the legacy collection loader for ``import`` sanity tests
-        on target-only Python versions.
-      - 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.

-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/47277)
-      - async - Improve performance of sending async callback events by never sending
-        the full task through the queue (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76729)
-      - catch the case that cowsay is broken which would lead to missing output
-      - cleaning facts will now only warn about the variable name and not post the
-        content, which can be undesireable to disclose
-      - collection_loader - Implement 'find_spec' and 'exec_module' to override deprecated
-        importlib methods 'find_module' and 'load_module' when applicable (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74660).
-      - correctly inherit vars from parent in block (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75286).
-      - 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)
-      - distribution - add EuroLinux to fact gathering (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76624).
-      - distribution - detect tencentos and gather correct facts on the distro.

-      - extend timeout for ansible-galaxy when communicating with the galaxy server
-        api, and apply it to all interactions with the api
-      - facts - add support for deepin distro information detection (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77286).
-      - first_found - fix to allow for spaces in file names (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77136)
-      - gather_facts - Fact gathering now continues even if it fails to read a file

-        collections to add/prevent subset argument correctly
-      - gather_facts/setup will not fail anymore if capsh is present but not executable

-      - hostname - Fix Debian strategy KeyError, use `SystemdStrategy` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76124)
-      - hostname - Update the systemd strategy in the ``hostname`` module to not interfere
-        with NetworkManager (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76958)
-      - hostname - add hostname support for openEuler distro (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76619).
-      - 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).
-      - include_vars, properly initialize variable as there is corner case in which
-        it can end up referenced and not defined

-      - module_utils.common.yaml - The ``SafeLoader``, ``SafeDumper`` and ``Parser``
-        classes now fallback to ``object`` when ``yaml`` is not available. This fixes
-        tracebacks when inheriting from these classes without requiring a ``HAS_YAML``
-        guard around class definitions.
-      - parameters - handle blank values when argument is a list (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77108).
-      - play_context now compensates for when a conneciton sets the default to inventory_hostname
-        but skips adding it to the vars.
-      - playbook/strategy have more informative 'attribute' based errors for playbook
-        objects and handlers.
-      - python modules (new type) will now again prefer the specific python stated
-        in the module's shebang instead of hardcoding to /usr/bin/python.
-      - replace - Always return ``rc`` to ensure return values are consistent - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71963
-      - script - skip in check mode if the plugin cannot determine if a change will
-        occur (i.e. neither `creates` or `removes` are provided).

-      - shell/command - only skip in check mode if the options `creates` and `removes`
-        are both None.
-      - 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.
-      - ssh connection now uses more correct host source as play_context can ignore
-        loop/delegation variations.
-      - sudo become plugin, fix handling of non interactive flags, previous substitution
-        was too naive
-      - systemd - check if service is alias so it gets enabled (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75538).
-      - systemd - check if service is indirect so it gets enabled (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76453).
-      - 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)
-      - to_json/to_nice_json filters defaults back to unvaulting/no unsafe packing.
-      - unarchive - Fix zip archive file listing that caused issues with content postprocessing
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76067).

-      - unarchive - the ``io_buffer_size`` option added in 2.12 was not accepted by
-        the module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77271).
-      - urls - Allow ``ca_path`` to point to a bundle containing multiple PEM certs
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75015)
-      - urls/uri - Address case where ``HTTPError`` isn't fully initialized due to

-      - Clarify in a comment that unrolling an iterator in ``Templar._finalize`` is
-        actually necessary. Also switch to using the ``_unroll_iterator`` decorator
-        directly to deduplicate code in ``Templar._finalize``. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76436)
-      - Installation - modernize our python installation, to reduce dynamic code in
-        setup.py, and migrate what is feasible to setup.cfg. This will enable shipping
-        wheels in the future.

-      - Remove more Python 2.x compatibility code from controller (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77320).
-      - Start of moving away from using Six, Python 2 and 3 compatibility library
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75863)
-      - 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-galaxy collection [install|verify]`` - allow user-provided signature
-        sources in addition to those from the Galaxy server. Each collection entry
-        in a requirements file can specify a ``signatures`` key followed by a list
-        of sources. Collection name(s) provided on the CLI can specify additional
-        signature sources by using the ``--signatures`` CLI option. Signature sources
-        should be URIs that can be opened with ``urllib.request.urlopen()``, such
-        as "https://example.com/path/to/detached_signature.asc" or "file:///path/to/detached_signature.asc".
-        The ``--keyring`` option must be specified if signature sources are provided.'
-      - '``ansible-galaxy collection [install|verify]`` - use gpg to verify the authenticity
-        of the signed ``MANIFEST.json`` with ASCII armored detached signatures provided
-        by the Galaxy server. The keyring (which is not managed by ``ansible-galaxy``)
-        must be provided with the ``--keyring`` option to use signature verification.
-        If no ``--keyring`` is specified and the collection to ``install|verify``
-        has associated detached signatures on the Galaxy server, a warning is provided.'
-      - '``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Add a global configuration to modify
-        the required number of signatures that must verify the authenticity of the
-        collection. By default, the number of required successful signatures is 1.
-        Set this option to ``all`` to require all signatures verify the collection.
-        To ensure signature verification fails if there are no valid signatures, prepend
-        the value with ''+'', such as ``+all`` or ``+1``.'
-      - '``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Add a global ignore list for gpg
-        signature errors. This can be used to ignore certain signatures when the number
-        of required successful signatures is all. When the required number of successful
-        signatures is a positive integer, the only effect this has is to display fewer
-        errors to the user on failure (success is determined by having the minimum
-        number of successful signatures, in which case all errors are disregarded).'
-      - '``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Add a global toggle to turn off GPG
-        signature verification.'
-      - '``ansible-galaxy collection install`` - Store Galaxy server metadata alongside
-        installed collections for provenance. Signatures obtained from the Galaxy
-        server can be used for offline verification with ``ansible-galaxy collection
-        verify --offline``.'
-      - ansible-console - Provide a  way to customize the stdout callback
-      - ansible-core modules - Remove unused Python shebangs from built-in modules.
-      - ansible-doc metadata dump - add option ``--no-fail-on-errors`` which allows
-        to not fail the ansible-doc invocation when errors happen during docs parsing
-        or processing. Instead they are reported in the JSON result in an ``error``
-        key for the affected plugins (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77035).
-      - ansible-galaxy - the option to skip certificate verification now also applies
-        when cloning via SCM (git/hg) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41077)
-      - ansible-test - Accept new-style Python modules without a shebang.

-    release_date: '2022-06-20'
-  2.13.1rc1:
-    changes:
-      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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/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 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/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.
-      minor_changes:
-      - "Add an 'action_plugin' field for modules in runtime.yml plugin_routing.\n\nThis
-        fixes module_defaults by supporting modules-as-redirected-actions\nwithout
-        redirecting module_defaults entries to the common action.\n\n.. code: yaml\n\n
-        \  plugin_routing:\n     action:\n       facts:\n         redirect: ns.coll.eos\n

-        as\n\n.. code: yaml\n\n   - hosts: all\n     module_defaults:\n       ns.coll.eos_facts:

-        'value'}\n     tasks:\n       - ns.coll.facts:\n\nwill end up with defaults
-        for eos_facts and eos_command\nsince both modules redirect to the same action.\n\nTo
-        select an action plugin for a module without merging\nmodule_defaults, define
-        an action_plugin field for the resolved\nmodule in the runtime.yml.\n\n..
-        code: yaml\n\n   plugin_routing:\n     modules:\n       facts:\n         redirect:

-        \        redirect: ns.coll.eos_command\n         action_plugin: ns.coll.eos\n\nThe
-        action_plugin field can be a redirected action plugin, as\nit is resolved
-        normally.\n\nUsing the modified runtime.yml, the example task will only use\nthe
-        ns.coll.eos_facts defaults.\n"
-      - 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.

-      - ansible-doc - no longer list module and plugin aliases that are created with

-      - 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
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/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
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78017).
-      minor_changes:

-        bootstrap script fails. The download now uses ``urllib2`` instead of ``urllib``
-        on Python 2.
