New release v2.6.3

* Change how data is sent to the persistent connection socket.

We can't rely on readline(), so send the size of the data first. We can
then read that many bytes from the stream on the recieving end.

* Set pty to noncanonical mode before sending

* Now that we send data length, we don't need a sentinel anymore

* Copy socket changes to persistent, too

* Use os.write instead of fdopen()ing and using that.

* Follow pickle with sha1sum of pickle

* Swap order of vars and init being passed to ansible-connection

(cherry picked from commit f221105882)

-      **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 your interest in contributing to Ansible.
+
+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.
+
+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!!
+
+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!

 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/>`_.
+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 https://ansible.com/
+
+You can find installation instructions
+`here <https://docs.ansible.com/intro_getting_started.html>`_ for a
+variety of platforms.
+
+Most users should probably install a released version of Ansible from ``pip``, a package manager or
+our `release repository <https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/>`_. `Officially supported
+<https://www.ansible.com/ansible-engine>`_ builds of Ansible are also available. Some power users
+run directly from the development branch - while significant efforts are made to ensure that
+``devel`` is reasonably stable, you're more likely to encounter breaking changes when running
+Ansible this way.
 
 Design Principles
 =================
 
-*  Have an extremely simple setup process with a minimal learning curve.
-*  Manage machines quickly and in parallel.

+*  Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
 *  Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by

+   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
+   Information <https://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.
-*  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
+*  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 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.
-*  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>`_
+*  Users list:
+   `ansible-project <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project>`_
+*  Development list:
+   `ansible-devel <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-devel>`_
+*  Announcement list:
+   `ansible-announce <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-announce>`_
+   -- read only
+*  irc.freenode.net: #ansible
 
 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.
+*  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.
+*  Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
+*  We'd love to have your contributions, read `Community
+   Information <https://docs.ansible.com/community.html>`_ for notes on
+   how to get started.
 
 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.
+Based on team and community feedback, an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (ex: 2.0, 2.1).
+Subminor versions will generally not have roadmaps published.
+
+Ansible 2.1 was the first release which published this and asked for feedback in this manner.
+Feedback on the roadmap and the new process is quite welcome.
+The team is aiming for further transparency and better inclusion of both community desires and submissions.
+
+These are the team's *best guess* roadmaps based on the Ansible team's experience and are also based on requests and feedback from the community.
+There are things that may not make it due to time constraints, lack of community maintainers, etc.
+Each roadmap is published both as an idea of what is upcoming in Ansible, and as a medium for seeking further feedback from the community.
+
+There are multiple places for you to submit feedback:
+
+- Add to the agenda of an IRC `Core Team Meeting <https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/meetings/README.md>`_ (preferred)
+- Ansible's google-group: ansible-devel
+- AnsibleFest conferences
+- IRC Freenode channel: #ansible-devel (this one may have things lost in lots of conversation)
+
+For additional details consult the published `Ansible Roadmap <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/>`_.

-Major Changes
--------------
-
-- ansible-test - Docker Desktop on WSL2 is now supported (additional configuration required).
-- ansible-test - Docker and Podman are now supported on hosts with cgroup v2 unified. Previously only cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 hybrid were supported.
-- ansible-test - Podman now works on container hosts without systemd. Previously only some containers worked, while others required rootfull or rootless Podman, but would not work with both. Some containers did not work at all.
-- ansible-test - Podman on WSL2 is now supported.
-- ansible-test - When additional cgroup setup is required on the container host, this will be automatically detected. Instructions on how to configure the host will be provided in the error message shown.
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- Add support for custom salt for vault encoding to make it deterministic (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/35480).
-- Added the conditional that was False if ``when`` caused a task to skip under ``false_condition``.
-- Allow force deletion of a group even when it is the primary group of a user. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77849)
-- Ansible.ModuleUtils.AddType - Add support for compiling ``unsafe`` code with the ``//AllowUnsafe`` directive
-- Cache field attributes list on the playbook classes
-- Cleaned up unused imports in core.
-- Get user input for ``pause`` and ``paramiko_ssh`` from the strategy rather than access ``sys.stdin`` in the WorkerProcess.
-- Introduce ``Delegatable`` and ``Notifiable`` mixin classes for playbook objects
-- Make using blocks as handlers a parser error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79968)
-- Playbook objects - Replace deprecated stacked ``@classmethod`` and ``@property``
-- Raise an error when an incorrect ``isa`` type is passed to ``FieldAttribute``.
-- Remove fallback code for when ``defined``/``undefined`` tests were used on objects containing nested undefined variables; due to changes in lazy evalution of Jinja2 expressions it is no longer needed.
-- Remove unused Python stdlib imports from module_utils which were not present for backwards compatibility in: common.file, compat.selectors, facts.network.iscsi, facts.network.nvme, yumdnf
-- Remove unused internal imports from module_utils which were not present for backwards compatibility in: common.file, common.parameters, facts.system.caps, yumdnf
-- Removed ``straight.plugin`` from the build and packaging requirements.
-- Removed unused imports from the following action plugins: async_status, command, pause, set_stats, uri, validate_argument_spec
-- Removed unused imports from the following lookup plugins: fileglob, template
-- Removed unused imports from the following modules: apt, dnf, expect, pip, slurp, user, yum
-- Removed unused imports from the following set of test plugins: files
-- Removed unused imports from the following strategy plugins: debug
-- Removed unused imports from the following vars plugins: host_group_vars
-- Use ``ansible.module_utils.six.moves.collections_abc`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat`` in modules and module_utils.
-- Use ``collections.abc`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat`` in controller code.
-- ``AnsibleJ2Vars`` class that acts as a storage for all variables for templating purposes now uses ``collections.ChainMap`` internally.
-- add parameter ``numeric`` to the iptables module to disable dns lookups when running list -action internally (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78793).
-- allow user to set ansible specific env vars for selecting pager and editor, but still fall back to commonly used defaults.
-- ansible-doc - support role extension for semantic markup spec so that ``O()`` and ``RV()`` referring to role entrypoints are rendered more readable (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80305).
-- ansible-doc - support semantic markup in text output (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80242).
-- ansible-doc text output - support ``seealso`` plugin record that was added for filter and test plugin documentation (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80212).
-- ansible-galaxy - Add ability to specify collection versions on the CLI without the need for a colon. Such as ``namespace.name==1.2.3`` vs ``namespace.name:1.2.3``.
-- ansible-galaxy - Use Python's native ``raise ... from`` instead of ``six.raise_from``.
-- ansible-galaxy - support ``resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 0.10.0``.
-- ansible-galaxy - support ``resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 1.1.0``.
-- ansible-inventory now supports the limit command line options.
-- ansible-test - A new ``audit`` option is available when running custom containers. This option can be used to indicate whether a container requires the AUDIT_WRITE capability. The default is ``required``, which most containers will need when using Podman. If necessary, the ``none`` option can be used to opt-out of the capability. This has no effect on Docker, which always provides the capability.
-- ansible-test - A new ``cgroup`` option is available when running custom containers. This option can be used to indicate a container requires cgroup v1 or that it does not use cgroup. The default behavior assumes the container works with cgroup v2 (as well as v1).
-- ansible-test - Add Alpine 3.17 remote.
-- ansible-test - Add Fedora 37 container.
-- ansible-test - Add Fedora 37 remote.
-- ansible-test - Add FreeBSD 12.4 remote.
-- ansible-test - Add RHEL 8.7 remote.
-- ansible-test - Add RHEL 9.1 remote.
-- ansible-test - Add macOS 13.2 remote.
-- ansible-test - Additional log details are shown when containers fail to start or SSH connections to containers fail.
-- ansible-test - Connection failures to remote provisioned hosts now show failure details as a warning.
-- ansible-test - Containers included with ansible-test no longer disable seccomp by default.
-- ansible-test - Disabled the ``ansible-format-automatic-specification`` rule from the ``pylint`` sanity test, now that Python 2.6 is no longer supported.
-- ansible-test - Enable the ``trailing-comma-tuple`` rule in the ``pylint`` sanity test.
-- ansible-test - Enable the ``unused-import`` rule for the ``pylint`` sanity test for collections.
-- ansible-test - Failure to connect to a container over SSH now results in a clear error. Previously tests would be attempted even after initial connection attempts failed.
-- ansible-test - Improve consistency of executed ``pylint`` commands by making the plugins ordered.
-- ansible-test - Improve consistency of version specific documentation links.
-- ansible-test - Integration tests can be excluded from retries triggered by the ``--retry-on-error`` option by adding the ``retry/never`` alias. This is useful for tests that cannot pass on a retry or are too slow to make retries useful.
-- ansible-test - Minor cleanup and package updates in distro containers.
-- ansible-test - More details are provided about an instance when provisioning fails.
-- ansible-test - Moved git handling out of the validate-modules sanity test and into ansible-test.
-- ansible-test - Reduce the polling limit for SSHD startup in containers from 60 retries to 10. The one second delay between retries remains in place.
-- ansible-test - Removed test containers: fedora36
-- ansible-test - Removed test remotes: alpine/3.16, fedora/36, freebsd/12.3, rhel/8.6, rhel/9.0, macos/12.0
-- ansible-test - Removed the ``--keep-git`` sanity test option, which was limited to testing ansible-core itself.
-- ansible-test - SSH connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to CentOS 6 containers now work without additional configuration. However, clients older than OpenSSH 7.0 can no longer connect to CentOS 6 containers as a result. The container must have ``centos6`` in the image name for this work-around to be applied.
-- ansible-test - SSH shell connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to ansible-test provisioned network instances now work without additional configuration. However, clients older than OpenSSH 7.0 can no longer open shell sessions for ansible-test provisioned network instances as a result.
-- ansible-test - Specify the configuration file location required by test plugins when the config file is not found. This resolves issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79411
-- ansible-test - The ``ansible-test env`` command now detects and reports the container ID if running in a container.
-- ansible-test - The ``pep8`` sanity test rule ``E203`` is now disabled since it is not PEP 8 compliant. This provides compatibility with output generated by the ``black`` code formatter.
-- ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test no longer limits the ``__future__`` imports that can be used. Other sanity tests that check ``__future__`` imports remain unchanged. As a result, the error code ``illegal-future-imports`` is no longer used.
-- ansible-test - Unit tests now support network disconnect by default when running under Podman. Previously this feature only worked by default under Docker.
-- ansible-test - Update Alpine 3 container to 3.17.
-- ansible-test - Update Python requirements used for sanity tests.
-- ansible-test - Update ``base`` and ``default`` containers to include Python 3.11.0.
-- ansible-test - Update ``default`` containers to include new ``docs-build`` sanity test requirements.
-- ansible-test - Update error handling code to use Python 3.x constructs, avoiding direct use of ``errno``.
-- ansible-test - Update test container to ``7.4.0`` which includes the new PSScriptAnalyzer versions
-- ansible-test - Update the CloudStack test plugin to use a newer test container with CloudStack 4.18.0.
-- ansible-test - Update the NIOS test plugin to use a newer multi-arch test container.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``ansible-bad-import-from`` rule in the ``pylint`` sanity test to recommend ``ansible.module_utils.six.moves.collections_abc`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat``.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``base`` and ``default`` test containers with the latest requirements.
-- ansible-test - Updated the Azure Pipelines CI plugin to work with newer versions of git.
-- ansible-test - Use ``stop --time 0`` followed by ``rm`` to remove ephemeral containers instead of ``rm -f``. This speeds up teardown of ephemeral containers.
-- ansible-test - Warnings are now shown when using containers that were built with VOLUME instructions.
-- ansible-test - When setting the max open files for containers, the container host's limit will be checked. If the host limit is lower than the preferred value, it will be used and a warning will be shown.
-- ansible-test - When using Podman, ansible-test will detect if the loginuid used in containers is incorrect. When this occurs a warning is displayed and the container is run with the AUDIT_CONTROL capability. Previously containers would fail under this situation, with no useful warnings or errors given.
-- ansible-test acme test container - update version to update used Pebble version, underlying Python and Go base containers, and Python requirements (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79783).
-- ansible-test pslint - Upgrade PSScriptAnalyzer to ``1.21.0`` which enables the ``AvoidMultipleTypeAttributes``, ``AvoidSemicolonsAsLineTerminators``, and ``AvoidUsingBrokenHashAlgorithms`` rules
-- ansible-test runtime-metadata sanity test - ensure that ``redirect`` entries in ``meta/runtime.yml`` contain collection names, except for ``module_utils`` plugin redirects and ``import_redirect`` redirects (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78802).
-- ansible-test sanity --test ansible-doc - now also lists documentation for test and filter plugins that are documented (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77737).
-- ansible-test validate-modules - Added support for validating module documentation stored in a sidecar file alongside the module (``{module}.yml`` or ``{module}.yaml``). Previously these files were ignored and documentation had to be placed in ``{module}.py``.
-- ansible-test validate-modules - no longer treat falsy non-``False`` values for defaults as ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79267).
-- apt - add allow-change-held-packages option to apt remove (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78131)
-- apt_repository - adds ``sources_added`` and ``sources_removed`` to the return of the module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79306).
-- apt_repository will use the trust repo directories in order of preference (more appropriate to less) as they exist on the target.
-- collections - Add additional ignores for commonly rejected file extensions
-- collections - Add additional includes for REUSE license files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79368)
-- deb822_repository - Add new module for managing DEB822 formatted apt repositories
-- debug - Perform argspec valdiation in debug action plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862)
-- dnf5 - Add new module for managing packages and other artifacts via the next version of DNF (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78898)
-- galaxy - include ``license_file`` in the default manifest directives (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull-request/79420)
-- optimized var loading by caching results as there is no variance in input during run.
-- pycompat24 module_utils - Remove support for Python 2.5 and earlier.
-- sanity tests - updates the collection-deprecated-version tests to ignore the ``prerelease`` component of the collection version ().
-- strftime filter, additional docs and links to source of truth.
-- updated the vendored distro library to upstream version (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79227)
-- validate-modules sanity test - add support for semantic markup (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80243).
-- validate-modules sanity test - if the ``check_mode`` attribute is present, check that it coincides with the ``support_check_mode`` parameter of ``AnsibleModule`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80090).
-- validate-modules sanity test - remove support for the never implemented ``forced_action_plugin`` attribute (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79317).
-- validate-modules sanity test - support the ``plugin`` see-also part of the semantic markup specification (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80244).
-
-Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
---------------------------------
-
-- ansible-doc - no longer treat plugins in collections whose name starts with ``_`` as deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79217).
-- ansible-test - Integration tests which depend on specific file permissions when running in an ansible-test managed host environment may require changes. Tests that require permissions other than ``755`` or ``644`` may need to be updated to set the necessary permissions as part of the test run.
-- ansible-test - The ``vcenter`` test plugin now defaults to using a user-provided static configuration instead of the ``govcsim`` simulator for collections. Set the ``ANSIBLE_VCSIM_CONTAINER`` environment variable to ``govcsim`` to use the simulator. Keep in mind that the simulator is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
-- ansible-test sanity - previously plugins and modules in collections whose name started with ``_`` were treated as deprecated, even when they were not marked as deprecated in ``meta/runtime.yml``. This is no longer the case (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
-- ansible-test validate-modules - Removed the ``missing-python-doc`` error code in validate modules, ``missing-documentation`` is used instead for missing PowerShell module documentation.
-
-Deprecated Features
--------------------
-
-- The ``ConnectionBase()._new_stdin`` attribute is deprecated, use ``display.prompt_until(msg)`` instead.
-- ansible-test - The ``foreman`` test plugin is now deprecated. It will be removed in a future release.
-- ansible-test - The ``govcsim`` simulator in the ``vcenter`` test plugin is now deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. Users should switch to providing their own test environment through a static configuration file.
-- password_hash - deprecate using passlib.hash.hashtype if hashtype isn't in the list of documented choices.
-- vars - Specifying a list of dictionaries for ``vars:`` is deprecated in favor of specifying a dictionary.
-
-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
-----------------------------------------
-
-- Remove deprecated ``ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_WHITELIST`` configuration environment variable, use ``ANSIBLE_CALLBACKS_ENABLED`` instead. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78821)
-- Remove deprecated ``ANSIBLE_COW_WHITELIST`` configuration environment variable, use ``ANSIBLE_COW_ACCEPTLIST`` instead. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78819)
-- Remove deprecated ``callback_whitelist`` configuration option, use ``callbacks_enabled`` instead. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78822)
-- Remove deprecated ``cow_whitelist`` configuration option, use ``cowsay_enabled_stencils`` instead. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78820)
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Ansible.Basic.cs - Ignore compiler warning (reported as an error) when running under PowerShell 7.3.x.

-- TaskExecutor - don't ignore templated _raw_params that k=v parser failed to parse (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862)
-- Windows - Display a warning if the module failed to cleanup any temporary files rather than failing the task. The warning contains a brief description of what failed to be deleted.
-- Windows - Ensure the module temp directory contains more unique values to avoid conflicts with concurrent runs - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80294
-- Windows - Improve temporary file cleanup used by modules. Will use a more reliable delete operation on Windows Server 2016 and newer to delete files that might still be open by other software like Anti Virus scanners. There are still scenarios where a file or directory cannot be deleted but the new method should work in more scenarios.
-- ``ansible-galaxy search rolename`` - give a warning instead of non-zero return code when search results are empty. This is similar to the behavior when listing roles, which gives a warning if a role cannot be found and exits with a return code of ``0``.
-- ``ansible_eval_concat`` - avoid redundant unsafe wrapping of templated strings converted to Python types
-- ansible-config limit shorthand format to assigned values
-- ansible-doc - stop generating wrong module URLs for module see-alsos. The URLs for modules in ansible.builtin do now work, and URLs for modules outside ansible.builtin are no longer added (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80280).
-- ansible-doc now will correctly display short descriptions on listing filters/tests no matter the directory sorting.
-- ansible-galaxy - Improve retries for collection installs, to properly retry, and extend retry logic to common URL related connection errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80170 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80174)
-- ansible-galaxy - fix installing collections in git repositories/directories which contain a MANIFEST.json file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79796).
-- ansible-galaxy - make initial call to Galaxy server on-demand only when installing, getting info about, and listing roles.
-- ansible-galaxy collection install - respect symlinks when installing from source or local repository (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78442)
-- ansible-galaxy collection/role init - preserve symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39334).
-- ansible-galaxy role info - fix unhandled AttributeError by catching the correct exception.
-- ansible-inventory will no longer duplicate host entries if they were part of a group's childrens tree.
-- ansible-inventory will not explicitly sort groups/hosts anymore, giving a chance (depending on output format) to match the order in the input sources.
-- ansible-playbook -K breaks when passwords have quotes (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79836).
-- ansible-test - Add ``wheel < 0.38.0`` constraint for Python 3.6 and earlier.
-- ansible-test - Add support for ``pytest`` assertion rewriting when running unit tests on Python 3.5 and later. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/68032
-- ansible-test - Added a work-around for a traceback under Python 3.11 when completing certain command line options.
-- ansible-test - Allow disabled, unsupported, unstable and destructive integration test targets to be selected using their respective prefixes.
-- ansible-test - Allow unstable tests to run when targeted changes are made and the ``--allow-unstable-changed`` option is specified (resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74213).
-- ansible-test - Always indicate the Python version being used before installing requirements. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72855
-- ansible-test - Avoid using ``exec`` after container startup when possible. This improves container startup performance and avoids intermittent startup issues with some old containers.
-- ansible-test - Connection attempts to managed remote instances no longer abort on ``Permission denied`` errors.
-- ansible-test - Detection for running in a Podman or Docker container has been fixed to detect more scenarios. The new detection relies on ``/proc/self/mountinfo`` instead of ``/proc/self/cpuset``. Detection now works with custom cgroups and private cgroup namespaces.
-- ansible-test - Exclude ansible-core vendored Python packages from ansible-test payloads.
-- ansible-test - Fix broken documentation link for ``aws`` test plugin error messages.
-- ansible-test - Fix validate-modules error when retrieving PowerShell argspec when retrieved inside a Cmdlet
-- ansible-test - Handle server errors when executing the ``docker info`` command.
-- ansible-test - Integration test target prefixes defined in a ``tests/integration/target-prefixes.{group}`` file can now contain an underscore (``_``) character. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79225
-- ansible-test - Multiple containers now work under Podman without specifying the ``--docker-network`` option.
-- ansible-test - Pass the ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` environment variable through to container commands.
-- ansible-test - Perform PyPI proxy configuration after instances are ready and bootstrapping has been completed. Only target instances are affected, as controller instances were already handled this way. This avoids proxy configuration errors when target instances are not yet ready for use.
-- ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat inspections of the same container image.
-- ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat pulls of the same container image.
-- ansible-test - Prevent concurrent execution of cached methods.
-- ansible-test - Removed pointless comparison in diff evaluation logic.

-- ansible-test - Show the exception type when reporting errors during instance provisioning.
-- ansible-test - Support Podman 4.4.0+ by adding the ``SYS_CHROOT`` capability when running containers.
-- ansible-test - Support loading of vendored Python packages from ansible-core.
-- ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test now properly enforces documentation before imports for plugins. Previously this was only enforced for modules due to a coding error.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test requirements to resolve crashes on Python 3.11. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78882)
-- ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 2.15.4.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 2.15.5.
-- ansible-test - Use consistent file permissions when delegating tests to a container or remote host. Files with any execute bit set will use permissions ``755``. All other files will use permissions ``644``. (Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75079)
-- ansible-test - fix warning message about failing to run an image to include the image name
-- ansible-test runtime-metadata sanity test - do not crash on YAML parsing errors without a context mark (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78802).
-- ansible-test sanity - correctly report invalid YAML in validate-modules (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75837).
-- ansible-vault encrypt_string - started appending a line feed at the end of the encrypted string output. Missing newline character caused problems identifying where the string ends in some shells (like bash) or accidentally copying an extra trailing terminator symbol (e.g., zsh prints out a ``%`` sign to signal where the original output stops) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78932).
-- ansible_facts.hardware - Define all processor facts on s390x (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/19755)
-- apt - set locale to fix updating the cache (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79523).
-- apt module should not traceback on invalid type given as package. issue 78663.
-- apt_repository will no longer fail to detect key when unrelated errors/warnings are issued by apt-key.
-- argument spec validation - again report deprecated parameters for Python-based modules. This was accidentally removed in ansible-core 2.11 when argument spec validation was refactored (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79680, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79681).
-- argument spec validation - ensure that deprecated aliases in suboptions are also reported (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
-- argument spec validation - fix warning message when two aliases of the same option are used for suboptions to also mention the option's name they are in (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
-- basic.py module_utils - Perform Python version check much earlier to ensure it runs before other errors occur.
-- connection local now avoids traceback on invalid user being used to execuet ansible (valid in host, but not in container).
-- copy - fix creating the dest directory in check mode with remote_src=True (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78611).
-- copy - fix reporting changes to file attributes in check mode with remote_src=True (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77957).
-- copy module will no longer move 'non files' set as src when remote_src=true.
-- copy remote_src=true - fix copying subdirs recursively when the dest exists and the src and dest have multiple common subdirectories in a common directory (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74536).
-- copy remote_src=true - fix reporting changed for copying empty directories.
-- display - reduce risk of post-fork output deadlocks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79522)
-- file - touch action in check mode was always returning ok. Fix now evaluates the different conditions and returns the appropriate changed status. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79360)
-- file lookup now handles missing files more gracefully.
-- file lookup now plays nice with generic lookup ``errors`` option.
-- get_url - Ensure we are passing ciphers to all url_get calls (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79717)
-- get_url module - Added a documentation reference to ``hashlib`` regarding algorithms, as well as a note about ``md5`` support on systems running in FIPS compliant mode.
-- get_url module - Removed out-of-date documentation stating that ``hashlib`` is a third-party library.
-- handlers - fix an issue where the ``flush_handlers`` meta task could not be used with FQCN: ``ansible.builtin.meta`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79023)
-- include_role - Inherit from role parents beyond a depth of 3 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/47023).
-- jinja2_native - fix intermittent 'could not find job' failures when a value of ``ansible_job_id`` from a result of an async task was inadvertently changed during execution; to prevent this a format of ``ansible_job_id`` was changed.
-- jinja2_native: preserve quotes in strings (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79083)
-- keyword inheritance - Ensure that we do not squash keywords in validate (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79021)
-- known_hosts - do not return changed status when a non-existing key is removed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78598)
-- list-tags now shows the 'never' tag, which was being excluded by default. To list all tasks you still need to add `--list-tasks --tags never,all`.
-- loops/delegate_to - Do not double calculate the values of loops and ``delegate_to`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80038)
-- module_utils/basic.py - Fix detection of available hashing algorithms on Python 3.x. All supported algorithms are now available instead of being limited to a hard-coded list. This affects modules such as ``get_url`` which accept an arbitrary checksum algorithm.
-- normal action plugin - remove obsolete ``if`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79690).
-- omit on keywords was resetting to default value, ignoring inheritance.
-- paramiko - Add a new option to allow paramiko >= 2.9 to easily work with all devices now that rsa-sha2 support was added to paramiko, which prevented communication with numerous platforms. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76737)
-- paramiko - Add back support for ``ssh_args``, ``ssh_common_args``, and ``ssh_extra_args`` for parsing the ``ProxyCommand`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78750)
-- paramiko connection was still using outdated playcontext, this should bring it up to date to use the 'correct' data for each task/loop.
-- password lookup now correctly reads stored ident fields.
-- password_hash - handle errors using unknown passlib hashtypes more gracefully (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/45392).
-- plugin loader, fix detection for existing configuration before initializing for a plugin
-- role deduplication - Always create new role object, regardless of deduplication. Deduplication will only affect whether a duplicate call to a role will execute, as opposed to re-using the same object. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78661)
-- roles - Fix templating ``public``, ``allow_duplicates`` and ``rolespec_validate`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80304).
-- service_facts - Use python re to parse service output instead of grep (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78541)
-- strategy plugins now correctly identify bad registered variables, even on skip.
-- strategy plugins: get the correctly templated and validated run_once value on strategy linear (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78492)
-- systemd - daemon-reload and daemon-reexec ignore errors when running in a chroot (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79643)
-- templates - Fixed ``TypeError`` when a lookup plugin has an option called ``name``.
-- unarchive - allow relative path for ``dest`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64612)
-- unarchive - log errors from commands to assist in debugging (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64612)
-- updated error messages to include 'acl' and not just mode changes when failing to set required permissions on remote.
-- uri - improve JSON content type detection
-- user - fix comparing group IDs to existing group names so groups are not always updated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79956).
-- user module - Removed ``password_expire_max`` from the return docs, as it is not returned.
-- user module - Removed ``password_expire_min`` from the return docs, as it is not returned.
-- vault - show filename additionally if missing secrets prevents decryption (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79723)
-- winrm - Increase the read timeout to 10 seconds later than the operation timeout reducing the chances of a false read timeout
-
-Known Issues
-------------
-
-- ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing documentation.
-- ansible-test - Custom containers with ``VOLUME`` instructions may be unable to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the ``VOLUME`` instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause ``ansible-test`` to emit a warning.
-- ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking issues to continue using ``ansible-test`` with Podman.
-- ansible-test - Unit tests for collections do not support ``pytest`` assertion rewriting on Python 2.7.
-- ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
-- dnf5 - The DNF5 package manager currently does not provide all functionality to ensure feature parity between the existing ``dnf`` and the new ``dnf5`` module. As a result the following ``dnf5`` options are effectively a no-op: ``cacheonly``, ``enable_plugin``, ``disable_plugin`` and ``lock_timeout``.

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix lxd module to be idempotent when the given configuration for the lxd container has not changed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/38166)
+- Fix setting value type to str to avoid conversion during template read. Fix Idempotency in case of 'no key'.
+- Fix the mount module's handling of swap entries in fstab (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42837)
+- 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.
+- To fix the bug where existing host_record was deleted when existing record name is used with different IP. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43235)
+- VMware handle pnic in proxyswitch (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42996)

+
+v2.6.1
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+| Release Date: 2018-07-05
+| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`_
+
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Restore module_utils.basic.BOOLEANS variable for backwards compatibility with the module API in older ansible releases.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- **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.
+- Fix junos_config confirm commit timeout issue (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41527)
+- file module - The touch subcommand had its diff output broken during the 2.6.x development cycle.  The patch to fix that broke check mode. This is now fixed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/42111)
+- inventory manager - This fixes required options being populated before the inventory config file is read, so the required options may be set in the config file.
+- nsupdate - allow hmac-sha384 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42209
+- win_domain - fixes typo in one of the AD cmdlets https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41536
+- win_group_membership - uses the internal Ansible SID conversion logic and uses that when comparing group membership instead of the name https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/40649
+
+v2.6.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+| Release Date: 2018-06-28
+| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`_
+
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Added an ``encoding`` option to the ``b64encode`` and ``b64decode`` filters to specify the encoding of the string that is base64 encoded.
+- PowerShell modules that use Convert-ToSID in Ansible.ModuleUtils.SID.psm1 like win_user_right now accept an actual SID as an input string. This means any local or domain accounts that are named like a SID need to be prefixed with the domain, hostname, or . to ensure it converts to that accounts SID https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/38502
+- Raise AnsibleParserError which was missing previously
+- The aws_ses_identity module supports check mode
+- ``postgresql_user`` module changed ``encrypted=yes`` to be the default. This shouldn't break any current playbooks, the module will just store passwords hashed by default. This change was done because Postgres 10 dropped support for ``UNENCRYPTED`` passwords and because all versions since Postgres 7.2 support storing encrypted passwords.
+- azure_rm_loadbalancer - add support for sku
+- azure_rm_publicipaddress - add support for sku
+- cloudflare_dns module - Removed restriction from protocol to allow other protocols than tcp and udp to be specified.
+- command module - Added argv option to allow command to be specified as a list vs. a string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/19392)
+- gem - add ability to specify a custom directory for installing gems (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/38195)
+- import/include - Cache task_vars to speed up IncludedFile.process_include_results (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/39026)
+- postgresql_user module - Changed encrypted=yes to be the default. This shouldn't break any current playbooks, the module will just store passwords hashed by default. This change was done because Postgres 10 dropped support for UNENCRYPTED passwords and because all versions since Postgres 7.2 support storing encrypted passwords.
+- vmware_target_canonical_facts module - The target_id parameter is an optional parameter.
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- nxos_igmp_interface module - The oif_prefix and oif_source properties are deprecated. Use the oif_ps parameter with a dictionary of prefix and source to values instead.
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- removed the deprecated always_run task option, please use ``check_mode: no`` instead
+- win_chocolatey - removed deprecated upgrade option and choco_* output return values
+- win_feature - removed deprecated reboot option
+- win_iis_webapppool - removed the ability to supply attributes as a string in favour of a dictionary
+- win_package - removed deprecated name option
+- win_regedit - removed deprecated support for specifying HKCC as HCCC
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- **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.

+- Changed the admin_users config option to not include "admin" by default as admin is frequently used for a non-privileged account  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41164)
+- Changed the output to "text" for "show vrf" command as default "json" output format with respect to "eapi" transport was failing (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41470)
+- Document mode=preserve for both the copy and template module
+- Fix added for Digital Ocean Volumes API change causing Ansible to recieve an unexpected value in the response. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41431)
+- Fix an encoding issue when parsing the examples from a plugins' documentation

+- ansible-doc - fixed traceback on missing plugins (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41167)
+- cast the device_mapping volume size to an int in the ec2_ami module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40938)
+- copy - fixed copy to only follow symlinks for files in the non-recursive case
+- copy module - The copy module was attempting to change the mode of files for remote_src=True even if mode was not set as a parameter.  This failed on filesystems which do not have permission bits (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40099)
+- copy module - fixed recursive copy with relative paths (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40166)
+- correct debug display for all cases https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41331

+- file module - Fix error when running a task which assures a symlink to a nonexistent file exists for the second and subsequent times (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39558)
+- file module - The file module allowed the user to specify src as a parameter when state was not link or hard.  This is documented as only applying to state=link or state=hard but in previous Ansible, this could have an effect in rare cornercases.  For instance, "ansible -m file -a 'state=directory path=/tmp src=/var/lib'" would create /tmp/lib.  This has been disabled and a warning emitted (will change to an error in Ansible-2.10).
+- file module - The touch subcommand had its diff output broken during the 2.6.x development cycle.  This is now fixed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41755)

+- spwd - With python 3.6 spwd.getspnam returns PermissionError instead of KeyError if user does not have privileges (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39472)
+- synchronize - Ensure the local connection created by synchronize uses _remote_is_local=True, which causes ActionBase to build a local tmpdir (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40833)
+- template - Fix for encoding issues when a template path contains non-ascii characters and using the template path in ansible_managed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/27262)

-ancestor: 2.14.0
-releases:
-  2.15.0b1:
-    changes:
-      breaking_changes:
-      - ansible-doc - no longer treat plugins in collections whose name starts with
-        ``_`` as deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79217).
-      - ansible-test - Integration tests which depend on specific file permissions
-        when running in an ansible-test managed host environment may require changes.
-        Tests that require permissions other than ``755`` or ``644`` may need to be
-        updated to set the necessary permissions as part of the test run.
-      - ansible-test - The ``vcenter`` test plugin now defaults to using a user-provided
-        static configuration instead of the ``govcsim`` simulator for collections.
-        Set the ``ANSIBLE_VCSIM_CONTAINER`` environment variable to ``govcsim`` to
-        use the simulator. Keep in mind that the simulator is deprecated and will
-        be removed in a future release.
-      - ansible-test sanity - previously plugins and modules in collections whose
-        name started with ``_`` were treated as deprecated, even when they were not
-        marked as deprecated in ``meta/runtime.yml``. This is no longer the case (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
-      - ansible-test validate-modules - Removed the ``missing-python-doc`` error code
-        in validate modules, ``missing-documentation`` is used instead for missing
-        PowerShell module documentation.
-      bugfixes:
-      - Ansible.Basic.cs - Ignore compiler warning (reported as an error) when running
-        under PowerShell 7.3.x.
-      - BSD network facts - Do not assume column indexes, look for ``netmask`` and
-        ``broadcast`` for determining the correct columns when parsing ``inet`` line
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79117)
-      - Correctly count rescued tasks in play recap (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79711)
-      - Do not crash when templating an expression with a test or filter that is not
-        a valid Ansible filter name (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78912,
-        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78913).
-      - Fix ``MANIFEST.in`` to exclude unwanted files in the ``packaging/`` directory.
-      - Fix ``MANIFEST.in`` to include ``*.md`` files in the ``test/support/`` directory.
-      - Fix a traceback occuring when a task is named ``meta`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79459)
-      - Fix an issue where the value of ``become`` was ignored when used on a role
-        used as a dependency in ``main/meta.yml`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79777)
-      - Fix bug in `vars` applied to roles, they were being incorrectly exported among
-        others while only vars/main.yml was meant to be. Also adjusted the precedence
-        to act the same as inline params.
-      - Fix conditionally notifying ``include_tasks` handlers when ``force_handlers``
-        is used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79776)
-      - Fix reusing a connection in a task loop that uses a redirected or aliased
-        name - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78425
-      - Fix setting become activation in a task loop - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78425
-      - Fix traceback when using the ``template`` module and running with ``ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1``
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79763)
-      - Fix using ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` in conjunction with collections in requirements
-        files which specify a specific ``source`` that isn't in the configured servers.
-      - Fix using ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` when downloading tarballs from Galaxy servers
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79557).
-      - Fixes leftover _valid_attrs usage.
-      - Fixes the password lookup to not rewrite files if they are not changed when
-        using the "encrypt" parameter (#79430).
-      - Module and role argument validation - include the valid suboption choices
-        in the error when an invalid suboption is provided.
-      - Perform type check on data passed to Display.display to enforce the requirement
-        of being given a python3 unicode string
-      - TaskExecutor - don't ignore templated _raw_params that k=v parser failed to
-        parse (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862)
-      - Windows - Display a warning if the module failed to cleanup any temporary
-        files rather than failing the task. The warning contains a brief description
-        of what failed to be deleted.
-      - Windows - Ensure the module temp directory contains more unique values to
-        avoid conflicts with concurrent runs - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80294
-      - Windows - Improve temporary file cleanup used by modules. Will use a more
-        reliable delete operation on Windows Server 2016 and newer to delete files
-        that might still be open by other software like Anti Virus scanners. There
-        are still scenarios where a file or directory cannot be deleted but the new
-        method should work in more scenarios.
-      - '``ansible-galaxy search rolename`` - give a warning instead of non-zero return
-        code when search results are empty. This is similar to the behavior when listing
-        roles, which gives a warning if a role cannot be found and exits with a return
-        code of ``0``.'
-      - '``ansible_eval_concat`` - avoid redundant unsafe wrapping of templated strings
-        converted to Python types'
-      - ansible-config limit shorthand format to assigned values
-      - ansible-doc - stop generating wrong module URLs for module see-alsos. The
-        URLs for modules in ansible.builtin do now work, and URLs for modules outside
-        ansible.builtin are no longer added (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80280).
-      - ansible-doc now will correctly display short descriptions on listing filters/tests
-        no matter the directory sorting.
-      - ansible-galaxy - Improve retries for collection installs, to properly retry,
-        and extend retry logic to common URL related connection errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80170
-        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80174)
-      - ansible-galaxy - fix installing collections in git repositories/directories
-        which contain a MANIFEST.json file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79796).
-      - ansible-galaxy - make initial call to Galaxy server on-demand only when installing,
-        getting info about, and listing roles.
-      - ansible-galaxy collection install - respect symlinks when installing from
-        source or local repository (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78442)
-      - ansible-galaxy collection/role init - preserve symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39334).
-      - ansible-galaxy role info - fix unhandled AttributeError by catching the correct
-        exception.
-      - ansible-inventory will no longer duplicate host entries if they were part
-        of a group's childrens tree.
-      - ansible-inventory will not explicitly sort groups/hosts anymore, giving a
-        chance (depending on output format) to match the order in the input sources.
-      - ansible-playbook -K breaks when passwords have quotes (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79836).

-        test targets to be selected using their respective prefixes.
-      - ansible-test - Allow unstable tests to run when targeted changes are made
-        and the ``--allow-unstable-changed`` option is specified (resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74213).
-      - ansible-test - Always indicate the Python version being used before installing
-        requirements. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72855
-      - ansible-test - Avoid using ``exec`` after container startup when possible.
-        This improves container startup performance and avoids intermittent startup
-        issues with some old containers.
-      - ansible-test - Connection attempts to managed remote instances no longer abort
-        on ``Permission denied`` errors.
-      - ansible-test - Detection for running in a Podman or Docker container has been
-        fixed to detect more scenarios. The new detection relies on ``/proc/self/mountinfo``
-        instead of ``/proc/self/cpuset``. Detection now works with custom cgroups
-        and private cgroup namespaces.
-      - ansible-test - Exclude ansible-core vendored Python packages from ansible-test
-        payloads.
-      - ansible-test - Fix broken documentation link for ``aws`` test plugin error
-        messages.
-      - ansible-test - Fix validate-modules error when retrieving PowerShell argspec
-        when retrieved inside a Cmdlet
-      - ansible-test - Handle server errors when executing the ``docker info`` command.
-      - ansible-test - Integration test target prefixes defined in a ``tests/integration/target-prefixes.{group}``
-        file can now contain an underscore (``_``) character. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79225
-      - ansible-test - Multiple containers now work under Podman without specifying
-        the ``--docker-network`` option.
-      - ansible-test - Pass the ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` environment variable through to
-        container commands.
-      - ansible-test - Perform PyPI proxy configuration after instances are ready
-        and bootstrapping has been completed. Only target instances are affected,
-        as controller instances were already handled this way. This avoids proxy configuration
-        errors when target instances are not yet ready for use.
-      - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat inspections of the same container
-        image.
-      - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat pulls of the same container image.
-      - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent execution of cached methods.
-      - ansible-test - Removed pointless comparison in diff evaluation logic.
-      - ansible-test - Set ``PYLINTHOME`` for the ``pylint`` sanity test to prevent
-        failures due to ``pylint`` checking for the existence of an obsolete home
-        directory.
-      - ansible-test - Show the exception type when reporting errors during instance
-        provisioning.
-      - ansible-test - Support Podman 4.4.0+ by adding the ``SYS_CHROOT`` capability
-        when running containers.
-      - ansible-test - Support loading of vendored Python packages from ansible-core.
-      - ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test now properly enforces
-        documentation before imports for plugins. Previously this was only enforced
-        for modules due to a coding error.
-      - ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test requirements to resolve crashes
-        on Python 3.11. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78882)
-      - ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 2.15.4.
-      - ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 2.15.5.
-      - ansible-test - Use consistent file permissions when delegating tests to a
-        container or remote host. Files with any execute bit set will use permissions
-        ``755``. All other files will use permissions ``644``. (Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75079)
-      - ansible-test - fix warning message about failing to run an image to include
-        the image name
-      - ansible-test runtime-metadata sanity test - do not crash on YAML parsing errors
-        without a context mark (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78802).
-      - ansible-test sanity - correctly report invalid YAML in validate-modules (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75837).
-      - ansible-vault encrypt_string - started appending a line feed at the end of
-        the encrypted string output. Missing newline character caused problems identifying
-        where the string ends in some shells (like bash) or accidentally copying an
-        extra trailing terminator symbol (e.g., zsh prints out a ``%`` sign to signal
-        where the original output stops) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78932).
-      - ansible_facts.hardware - Define all processor facts on s390x (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/19755)
-      - apt - set locale to fix updating the cache (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79523).
-      - apt module should not traceback on invalid type given as package. issue 78663.
-      - apt_repository will no longer fail to detect key when unrelated errors/warnings
-        are issued by apt-key.
-      - argument spec validation - again report deprecated parameters for Python-based
-        modules. This was accidentally removed in ansible-core 2.11 when argument
-        spec validation was refactored (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79680,
-        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79681).
-      - argument spec validation - ensure that deprecated aliases in suboptions are
-        also reported (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
-      - argument spec validation - fix warning message when two aliases of the same
-        option are used for suboptions to also mention the option's name they are
-        in (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
-      - basic.py module_utils - Perform Python version check much earlier to ensure
-        it runs before other errors occur.
-      - connection local now avoids traceback on invalid user being used to execuet
-        ansible (valid in host, but not in container).
-      - copy - fix creating the dest directory in check mode with remote_src=True
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78611).
-      - copy - fix reporting changes to file attributes in check mode with remote_src=True
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77957).
-      - copy module will no longer move 'non files' set as src when remote_src=true.
-      - copy remote_src=true - fix copying subdirs recursively when the dest exists
-        and the src and dest have multiple common subdirectories in a common directory
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74536).
-      - copy remote_src=true - fix reporting changed for copying empty directories.
-      - display - reduce risk of post-fork output deadlocks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79522)
-      - file - touch action in check mode was always returning ok. Fix now evaluates
-        the different conditions and returns the appropriate changed status. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79360)
-      - file lookup now handles missing files more gracefully.
-      - file lookup now plays nice with generic lookup ``errors`` option.
-      - get_url - Ensure we are passing ciphers to all url_get calls (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79717)
-      - get_url module - Added a documentation reference to ``hashlib`` regarding
-        algorithms, as well as a note about ``md5`` support on systems running in
-        FIPS compliant mode.
-      - get_url module - Removed out-of-date documentation stating that ``hashlib``
-        is a third-party library.
-      - 'handlers - fix an issue where the ``flush_handlers`` meta task could not
-        be used with FQCN: ``ansible.builtin.meta`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79023)'
-      - include_role - Inherit from role parents beyond a depth of 3 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/47023).
-      - jinja2_native - fix intermittent 'could not find job' failures when a value
-        of ``ansible_job_id`` from a result of an async task was inadvertently changed
-        during execution; to prevent this a format of ``ansible_job_id`` was changed.
-      - 'jinja2_native: preserve quotes in strings (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79083)'
-      - keyword inheritance - Ensure that we do not squash keywords in validate (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79021)
-      - known_hosts - do not return changed status when a non-existing key is removed
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78598)
-      - list-tags now shows the 'never' tag, which was being excluded by default.
-        To list all tasks you still need to add `--list-tasks --tags never,all`.
-      - loops/delegate_to - Do not double calculate the values of loops and ``delegate_to``
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80038)
-      - module_utils/basic.py - Fix detection of available hashing algorithms on Python
-        3.x. All supported algorithms are now available instead of being limited to
-        a hard-coded list. This affects modules such as ``get_url`` which accept an
-        arbitrary checksum algorithm.
-      - normal action plugin - remove obsolete ``if`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79690).
-      - omit on keywords was resetting to default value, ignoring inheritance.
-      - paramiko - Add a new option to allow paramiko >= 2.9 to easily work with all
-        devices now that rsa-sha2 support was added to paramiko, which prevented communication
-        with numerous platforms. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76737)
-      - paramiko - Add back support for ``ssh_args``, ``ssh_common_args``, and ``ssh_extra_args``
-        for parsing the ``ProxyCommand`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78750)
-      - paramiko connection was still using outdated playcontext, this should bring
-        it up to date to use the 'correct' data for each task/loop.
-      - password lookup now correctly reads stored ident fields.
-      - password_hash - handle errors using unknown passlib hashtypes more gracefully
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/45392).
-      - plugin loader, fix detection for existing configuration before initializing
-        for a plugin
-      - role deduplication - Always create new role object, regardless of deduplication.
-        Deduplication will only affect whether a duplicate call to a role will execute,
-        as opposed to re-using the same object. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78661)
-      - roles - Fix templating ``public``, ``allow_duplicates`` and ``rolespec_validate``
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80304).
-      - service_facts - Use python re to parse service output instead of grep (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78541)
-      - strategy plugins now correctly identify bad registered variables, even on
-        skip.
-      - 'strategy plugins: get the correctly templated and validated run_once value
-        on strategy linear (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78492)'

-        chroot (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79643)
-      - templates - Fixed ``TypeError`` when a lookup plugin has an option called
-        ``name``.
-      - unarchive - allow relative path for ``dest`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64612)
-      - unarchive - log errors from commands to assist in debugging (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64612)
-      - updated error messages to include 'acl' and not just mode changes when failing
-        to set required permissions on remote.
-      - uri - improve JSON content type detection
-      - user - fix comparing group IDs to existing group names so groups are not always
-        updated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79956).
-      - user module - Removed ``password_expire_max`` from the return docs, as it
-        is not returned.
-      - user module - Removed ``password_expire_min`` from the return docs, as it
-        is not returned.
-      - vault - show filename additionally if missing secrets prevents decryption
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79723)
-      - winrm - Increase the read timeout to 10 seconds later than the operation timeout
-        reducing the chances of a false read timeout
-      deprecated_features:
-      - The ``ConnectionBase()._new_stdin`` attribute is deprecated, use ``display.prompt_until(msg)``
-        instead.
-      - ansible-test - The ``foreman`` test plugin is now deprecated. It will be removed
-        in a future release.
-      - ansible-test - The ``govcsim`` simulator in the ``vcenter`` test plugin is
-        now deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. Users should switch
-        to providing their own test environment through a static configuration file.
-      - password_hash - deprecate using passlib.hash.hashtype if hashtype isn't in
-        the list of documented choices.
-      - vars - Specifying a list of dictionaries for ``vars:`` is deprecated in favor
-        of specifying a dictionary.
-      known_issues:
-      - ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container
-        host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing
-        documentation.
-      - ansible-test - Custom containers with ``VOLUME`` instructions may be unable
-        to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the ``VOLUME``
-        instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause
-        ``ansible-test`` to emit a warning.
-      - ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run
-        containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking
-        issues to continue using ``ansible-test`` with Podman.
-      - ansible-test - Unit tests for collections do not support ``pytest`` assertion
-        rewriting on Python 2.7.
-      - ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux
-        to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
-      - 'dnf5 - The DNF5 package manager currently does not provide all functionality
-        to ensure feature parity between the existing ``dnf`` and the new ``dnf5``
-        module. As a result the following ``dnf5`` options are effectively a no-op:
-        ``cacheonly``, ``enable_plugin``, ``disable_plugin`` and ``lock_timeout``.'
-      major_changes:
-      - ansible-test - Docker Desktop on WSL2 is now supported (additional configuration
-        required).
-      - ansible-test - Docker and Podman are now supported on hosts with cgroup v2
-        unified. Previously only cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 hybrid were supported.
-      - ansible-test - Podman now works on container hosts without systemd. Previously
-        only some containers worked, while others required rootfull or rootless Podman,
-        but would not work with both. Some containers did not work at all.
-      - ansible-test - Podman on WSL2 is now supported.
-      - ansible-test - When additional cgroup setup is required on the container host,
-        this will be automatically detected. Instructions on how to configure the
-        host will be provided in the error message shown.
-      minor_changes:
-      - Add support for custom salt for vault encoding to make it deterministic (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/35480).
-      - Added the conditional that was False if ``when`` caused a task to skip under
-        ``false_condition``.

-      - Get user input for ``pause`` and ``paramiko_ssh`` from the strategy rather
-        than access ``sys.stdin`` in the WorkerProcess.
-      - Introduce ``Delegatable`` and ``Notifiable`` mixin classes for playbook objects
-      - Make using blocks as handlers a parser error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79968)
-      - Playbook objects - Replace deprecated stacked ``@classmethod`` and ``@property``
-      - Raise an error when an incorrect ``isa`` type is passed to ``FieldAttribute``.
-      - Remove fallback code for when ``defined``/``undefined`` tests were used on
-        objects containing nested undefined variables; due to changes in lazy evalution
-        of Jinja2 expressions it is no longer needed.
-      - 'Remove unused Python stdlib imports from module_utils which were not present
-        for backwards compatibility in: common.file, compat.selectors, facts.network.iscsi,
-        facts.network.nvme, yumdnf

-
-        '
-      - Removed ``straight.plugin`` from the build and packaging requirements.
-      - 'Removed unused imports from the following action plugins: async_status, command,
-        pause, set_stats, uri, validate_argument_spec'
-      - 'Removed unused imports from the following lookup plugins: fileglob, template'
-      - 'Removed unused imports from the following modules: apt, dnf, expect, pip,

-        in modules and module_utils.
-      - Use ``collections.abc`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat``
-        in controller code.
-      - '``AnsibleJ2Vars`` class that acts as a storage for all variables for templating
-        purposes now uses ``collections.ChainMap`` internally.'
-      - add parameter ``numeric`` to the iptables module to disable dns lookups when
-        running list -action internally (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78793).
-      - allow user to set ansible specific env vars for selecting pager and editor,
-        but still fall back to commonly used defaults.
-      - ansible-doc - support role extension for semantic markup spec so that ``O()``
-        and ``RV()`` referring to role entrypoints are rendered more readable (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80305).
-      - ansible-doc - support semantic markup in text output (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80242).
-      - ansible-doc text output - support ``seealso`` plugin record that was added
-        for filter and test plugin documentation (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80212).
-      - ansible-galaxy - Add ability to specify collection versions on the CLI without
-        the need for a colon. Such as ``namespace.name==1.2.3`` vs ``namespace.name:1.2.3``.
-      - ansible-galaxy - Use Python's native ``raise ... from`` instead of ``six.raise_from``.
-      - ansible-galaxy - support ``resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 0.10.0``.
-      - ansible-galaxy - support ``resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 1.1.0``.
-      - ansible-inventory now supports the limit command line options.
-      - ansible-test - A new ``audit`` option is available when running custom containers.
-        This option can be used to indicate whether a container requires the AUDIT_WRITE
-        capability. The default is ``required``, which most containers will need when
-        using Podman. If necessary, the ``none`` option can be used to opt-out of
-        the capability. This has no effect on Docker, which always provides the capability.
-      - ansible-test - A new ``cgroup`` option is available when running custom containers.
-        This option can be used to indicate a container requires cgroup v1 or that
-        it does not use cgroup. The default behavior assumes the container works with
-        cgroup v2 (as well as v1).
-      - ansible-test - Add Alpine 3.17 remote.
-      - ansible-test - Add Fedora 37 container.
-      - ansible-test - Add Fedora 37 remote.
-      - ansible-test - Add FreeBSD 12.4 remote.
-      - ansible-test - Add RHEL 8.7 remote.
-      - ansible-test - Add RHEL 9.1 remote.
-      - ansible-test - Add macOS 13.2 remote.
-      - ansible-test - Additional log details are shown when containers fail to start
-        or SSH connections to containers fail.
-      - ansible-test - Connection failures to remote provisioned hosts now show failure
-        details as a warning.
-      - ansible-test - Containers included with ansible-test no longer disable seccomp
-        by default.
-      - ansible-test - Disabled the ``ansible-format-automatic-specification`` rule
-        from the ``pylint`` sanity test, now that Python 2.6 is no longer supported.
-      - ansible-test - Enable the ``trailing-comma-tuple`` rule in the ``pylint``
-        sanity test.
-      - ansible-test - Enable the ``unused-import`` rule for the ``pylint`` sanity
-        test for collections.
-      - ansible-test - Failure to connect to a container over SSH now results in a
-        clear error. Previously tests would be attempted even after initial connection
-        attempts failed.
-      - ansible-test - Improve consistency of executed ``pylint`` commands by making
-        the plugins ordered.
-      - ansible-test - Improve consistency of version specific documentation links.
-      - ansible-test - Integration tests can be excluded from retries triggered by
-        the ``--retry-on-error`` option by adding the ``retry/never`` alias. This
-        is useful for tests that cannot pass on a retry or are too slow to make retries
-        useful.
-      - ansible-test - Minor cleanup and package updates in distro containers.
-      - ansible-test - More details are provided about an instance when provisioning
-        fails.
-      - ansible-test - Moved git handling out of the validate-modules sanity test
-        and into ansible-test.
-      - ansible-test - Reduce the polling limit for SSHD startup in containers from
-        60 retries to 10. The one second delay between retries remains in place.
-      - 'ansible-test - Removed test containers: fedora36'
-      - 'ansible-test - Removed test remotes: alpine/3.16, fedora/36, freebsd/12.3,
-        rhel/8.6, rhel/9.0, macos/12.0'
-      - ansible-test - Removed the ``--keep-git`` sanity test option, which was limited
-        to testing ansible-core itself.
-      - ansible-test - SSH connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to CentOS 6 containers now
-        work without additional configuration. However, clients older than OpenSSH
-        7.0 can no longer connect to CentOS 6 containers as a result. The container
-        must have ``centos6`` in the image name for this work-around to be applied.
-      - ansible-test - SSH shell connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to ansible-test provisioned
-        network instances now work without additional configuration. However, clients
-        older than OpenSSH 7.0 can no longer open shell sessions for ansible-test
-        provisioned network instances as a result.
-      - 'ansible-test - Specify the configuration file location required by test plugins
-        when the config file is not found. This resolves issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79411'
-      - ansible-test - The ``ansible-test env`` command now detects and reports the
-        container ID if running in a container.
-      - ansible-test - The ``pep8`` sanity test rule ``E203`` is now disabled since
-        it is not PEP 8 compliant. This provides compatibility with output generated
-        by the ``black`` code formatter.
-      - ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test no longer limits the ``__future__``
-        imports that can be used. Other sanity tests that check ``__future__`` imports
-        remain unchanged. As a result, the error code ``illegal-future-imports`` is
-        no longer used.
-      - ansible-test - Unit tests now support network disconnect by default when running
-        under Podman. Previously this feature only worked by default under Docker.
-      - ansible-test - Update Alpine 3 container to 3.17.
-      - ansible-test - Update Python requirements used for sanity tests.
-      - ansible-test - Update ``base`` and ``default`` containers to include Python
-        3.11.0.
-      - ansible-test - Update ``default`` containers to include new ``docs-build``
-        sanity test requirements.
-      - ansible-test - Update error handling code to use Python 3.x constructs, avoiding
-        direct use of ``errno``.
-      - ansible-test - Update test container to ``7.4.0`` which includes the new PSScriptAnalyzer
-        versions
-      - ansible-test - Update the CloudStack test plugin to use a newer test container
-        with CloudStack 4.18.0.
-      - ansible-test - Update the NIOS test plugin to use a newer multi-arch test
-        container.
-      - ansible-test - Update the ``ansible-bad-import-from`` rule in the ``pylint``
-        sanity test to recommend ``ansible.module_utils.six.moves.collections_abc``
-        instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat``.
-      - ansible-test - Update the ``base`` and ``default`` test containers with the
-        latest requirements.
-      - ansible-test - Updated the Azure Pipelines CI plugin to work with newer versions
-        of git.
-      - ansible-test - Use ``stop --time 0`` followed by ``rm`` to remove ephemeral
-        containers instead of ``rm -f``. This speeds up teardown of ephemeral containers.
-      - ansible-test - Warnings are now shown when using containers that were built
-        with VOLUME instructions.
-      - ansible-test - When setting the max open files for containers, the container
-        host's limit will be checked. If the host limit is lower than the preferred
-        value, it will be used and a warning will be shown.
-      - ansible-test - When using Podman, ansible-test will detect if the loginuid
-        used in containers is incorrect. When this occurs a warning is displayed and
-        the container is run with the AUDIT_CONTROL capability. Previously containers
-        would fail under this situation, with no useful warnings or errors given.
-      - ansible-test acme test container - update version to update used Pebble version,
-        underlying Python and Go base containers, and Python requirements (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79783).
-      - ansible-test pslint - Upgrade PSScriptAnalyzer to ``1.21.0`` which enables
-        the ``AvoidMultipleTypeAttributes``, ``AvoidSemicolonsAsLineTerminators``,
-        and ``AvoidUsingBrokenHashAlgorithms`` rules
-      - ansible-test runtime-metadata sanity test - ensure that ``redirect`` entries
-        in ``meta/runtime.yml`` contain collection names, except for ``module_utils``
-        plugin redirects and ``import_redirect`` redirects (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78802).
-      - ansible-test sanity --test ansible-doc - now also lists documentation for
-        test and filter plugins that are documented (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77737).
-      - ansible-test validate-modules - Added support for validating module documentation
-        stored in a sidecar file alongside the module (``{module}.yml`` or ``{module}.yaml``).
-        Previously these files were ignored and documentation had to be placed in
-        ``{module}.py``.
-      - ansible-test validate-modules - no longer treat falsy non-``False`` values
-        for defaults as ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79267).
-      - apt - add allow-change-held-packages option to apt remove (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78131)
-      - apt_repository - adds ``sources_added`` and ``sources_removed`` to the return
-        of the module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79306).
-      - apt_repository will use the trust repo directories in order of preference
-        (more appropriate to less) as they exist on the target.
-      - collections - Add additional ignores for commonly rejected file extensions
-      - collections - Add additional includes for REUSE license files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79368)
-      - deb822_repository - Add new module for managing DEB822 formatted apt repositories
-      - debug - Perform argspec valdiation in debug action plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862)
-      - dnf5 - Add new module for managing packages and other artifacts via the next
-        version of DNF (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78898)
-      - galaxy - include ``license_file`` in the default manifest directives (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull-request/79420)
-      - optimized var loading by caching results as there is no variance in input
-        during run.
-      - pycompat24 module_utils - Remove support for Python 2.5 and earlier.
-      - sanity tests - updates the collection-deprecated-version tests to ignore the
-        ``prerelease`` component of the collection version ().
-      - strftime filter, additional docs and links to source of truth.
-      - updated the vendored distro library to upstream version (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79227)
-      - validate-modules sanity test - add support for semantic markup (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80243).
-      - validate-modules sanity test - if the ``check_mode`` attribute is present,
-        check that it coincides with the ``support_check_mode`` parameter of ``AnsibleModule``
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80090).
-      - validate-modules sanity test - remove support for the never implemented ``forced_action_plugin``
-        attribute (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79317).
-      - validate-modules sanity test - support the ``plugin`` see-also part of the
-        semantic markup specification (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80244).
