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

+Ansible Community  Information
+==============================
+
+The purpose of the Ansible community is to  unite developers, system administrators, operations, and 
+IT managers to share and build great automation solutions.  This document contains all sorts of 
+information about how to contribute and interact with Ansible.  Welcome!
+
+Ways to Interact
+================
+
+There are a lot of ways to join and  be a part  of the  Ansible community, such as:
+
+Sharing Ansible with Others
+---------------------------
+
+You can help share Ansible with others by telling friends and colleagues, writing a blog post, 
+or presenting at user groups (like DevOps groups or the local LUG or BUG).  You are also 
+welcome to share slides on speakerdeck, sign up for a free account and tag it “Ansible”. On Twitter, 
+you can also share things with #ansible and may wish 
+to follow [@AnsibleWorks](https://twitter.com/ansibleworks).
+
+Sharing Content and Tips
+------------------------
+
+Join the [Ansible project mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project) and you 
+can share playbooks you may have written and other interesting implementation stories. Put your Ansible 
+content up on places like github  to share with others.
+
+Sharing A Feature Idea
+----------------------
+
+If you have an idea for a new feature, you can open a new ticket at 
+[github.com/ansible/ansible](https://github.com/ansible/ansible), though in general we like to 
+talk about feature ideas first and bring in lots of people into the discussion. Consider stopping 
+by the [Ansible project mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project) or #ansible
+on irc.freenode.net.  
+
+Helping with Documentation
+--------------------------
+
+Ansible documentation is a community project too!  If you would like to help with the 
+documentation, whether correcting a typo or improving a section, or maybe even 
+documenting a new feature, submit a github pull request to  the code that
+lives in the “docsite/latest/rst” subdirectory of the project.   Docs are in restructured text
+format.  If you aren’t comfortable with restructured text, you can also open a ticket on 
+github about any errors you spot or sections you would like to see added. For more information
+on creating pull requests, please refer to the
+[github help guide](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests).
+
+
+Contributing Code (Features or Bugfixes)
+----------------------------------------
+
+The Ansible project keeps it’s source on github at 
+[github.com/ansible/ansible](http://github.com/ansible/ansible) 
+and takes contributions through
+[github pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests).
+
+When submitting patches, be sure to run the unit tests first “make tests” and always use 
+“git rebase” vs “git merge” (aliasing git pull to git pull --rebase is a great idea) to 
+avoid merge commits in your submissions.  
+
+We’ll then review your contributions and engage with you about questions and  so on.  Please be 
+advised we have a very large and active community, so it may take awhile to get your contributions 
+in!  Patches should be made against the 'devel' branch.
+
+Contributions can be for new features like modules, or to fix bugs you or others have found. If you 
+are interested in writing new modules to be included in the core Ansible distribution, please refer 
+to the [Module Developers documentation on our website](http://www.ansibleworks.com/docs/developing_modules.html).
+
+Ansible's aesthetic encourages simple, readable code and consistent, conservatively extending, 
+backwards-compatible improvements.  Code developed for Ansible needs to support Python 2.6+, 
+while code in modules must run under Python 2.4 or higher.  Please also use a 4-space indent
+and no tabs.
+
+Tip: To easily run from a checkout, source "./hacking/env-setup" and that's it -- no install
+required.  You're now live!
+
+
+Reporting A Bug
+---------------
+
+Bugs should be reported to [github.com/ansible/ansible](http://github.com/ansible/ansible) after 
+signing up for a free github account.  Before reporting a bug, please use the bug/issue search 
+to see if the issue has already been reported.  
+
+When filing a bug, the following information is required:
+
+* A good name for the bug ("Foo module raises exception when xyz=glork is used", vs "foo doesn't work")
+* A succint description of the problem
+* What version of ansible you are using (ansible --version)
+* Steps to reproduce the problem
+* Expected results
+* Actual results
+
+Do not use the issue tracker for "how do I do this" type questions.  These are great candidates
+for IRC or the mailing list instead where things are likely to be more of a discussion.
+
+To be respectful of reviewers time and allow us to help everyone efficiently, please 
+provide minimal well-reduced and well-commented examples versus sharing your entire production
+playbook.  Include playbook snippets and output where possible.  
+
+Content in the GitHub bug tracker can be indented four spaces to preserve formatting.  
+For multiple-file content, we encourage use of gist.github.com.  Online pastebin content can expire.
+
+If you are not sure if something is a bug yet, you are welcome to ask about something on 
+the mailing list or IRC first.  As we are a very high volume project, if you determine that 
+you do have a bug, please be sure to open the issue yourself to ensure we have a record of
+it. Don’t rely on someone else in the community to file the bug report for you.
+
+Online Resources
+================
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+The main ansible documentation can be found at [ansibleworks.com/docs](http://ansibleworks.com/docs). 
+As mentioned above this is an open source project, so we accept contributions to the documentation. 
+You can also find some best practices examples that we recommend reading at 
+[ansible-examples](http://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples).
+
+Mailing lists
+-------------
+
+Ansible has several mailing lists.  Your first post to the mailing list will be 
+moderated (to reduce spam), so please allow a day or less for your first post.
+
+[ansible-announce](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-announce) is for release 
+announcements and major news.  It is a low traffic read-only list and you should only get a few 
+emails a month.
+
+[ansible-project](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project) is the main list, and is 
+used for sharing cool projects you may have built, talking about Ansible ideas, and for users to ask 
+questions or to help other users.
+
+[ansible-devel](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-devel) is a technical list for 
+developers working on Ansible and Ansible modules.  Join here to discuss how to build modules, 
+prospective feature implementations, or technical challenges.
+
+To subscribe to a group from a non-google account, you can email the subscription address, for 
+example ansible-devel+subscribe@googlegroups.com.
+
+IRC
+---
+
+Ansible has a general purpose IRC channel available at #ansible on irc.freenode.net.
+Use this channel for all types of conversations, including sharing tips, coordinating 
+development work, or getting help from other users.
+

+Ansible
+=======
+
+Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and
+multinode orchestration framework.
+
+Read the documentation and more at http://ansibleworks.com/
+
+Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release.  You can find 
+instructions [here](http://ansibleworks.com/docs/intro_getting_started.html) for a variety of platforms.  If you want a tarball of the last release, go to 
+http://ansibleworks.com/releases/ and you can also install with pip.
+
+Design Principles
+=================
+
+   * Dead simple setup
+   * Super fast & parallel by default
+   * No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
+   * No additional software required on client boxes
+   * Modules can be written in ANY language
+   * Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
+   * Be usable as non-root
+   * The easiest config management system to use, ever.
+
+Get Involved
+============
+
+   * Read [Contributing.md](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md) 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.
+   * irc.freenode.net: #ansible
+
+Branch Info
+===========
+
+   * Releases are 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 "CONTRIBUTING.md" for process notes.

-Ansible
-*******
-
-Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles
-configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning,
-ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex
-changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy. More information on the Ansible `website <https://ansible.com/>`_.
-
-Design Principles
-=================
-
-*  Have an extremely simple setup process with a minimal learning curve.
-*  Manage machines quickly and in parallel.
-*  Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by
-   leveraging the existing SSH daemon.
-*  Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human
-   friendly.
-*  Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content.
-*  Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any
-   software.
-*  Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python.
-*  Be usable as non-root.
-*  Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.
-
-Use Ansible
-===========
-
-You can install a released version of Ansible with ``pip`` or a package manager. See our
-`installation guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html>`_ for details on installing Ansible
-on a variety of platforms.
-
-Power users and developers can run the ``devel`` branch, which has the latest
-features and fixes, directly. Although it is reasonably stable, you are more likely to encounter
-breaking changes when running the ``devel`` branch. We recommend getting involved
-in the Ansible community if you want to run the ``devel`` branch.
-
-Get Involved
-============
-
-*  Read `Community
-   Information <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community>`_ for all
-   kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project,
-   including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and
-   code to Ansible.
-*  Join a `Working Group
-   <https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki>`_, an organized community devoted to a specific technology domain or platform.
-*  Submit a proposed code update through a pull request to the ``devel`` branch.
-*  Talk to us before making larger changes
-   to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone
-   know what is going on, but it also helps save time and effort if we decide
-   some changes are needed.
-*  For a list of email lists, IRC channels and Working Groups, see the
-   `Communication page <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/communication.html>`_
-
-Coding Guidelines
-=================
-
-We document our Coding Guidelines in the `Developer Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/>`_. We particularly suggest you review:
-
-* `Contributing your module to Ansible <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_checklist.html>`_
-* `Conventions, tips, and pitfalls <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html>`_
-
-Branch Info
-===========
-
-*  The ``devel`` branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
-*  The ``stable-2.X`` branches correspond to stable releases.
-*  Create a branch based on ``devel`` and set up a `dev environment <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html#common-environment-setup>`_ if you want to open a PR.
-*  See the `Ansible release and maintenance <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html>`_ page for information about active branches.
-
-Roadmap
-=======
-
-Based on team and community feedback, an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (ex: 2.7, 2.8).
-The `Ansible Roadmap page <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/>`_ details what is planned and how to influence the roadmap.
-
-Authors
-=======
-
-Ansible was created by `Michael DeHaan <https://github.com/mpdehaan>`_
-and has contributions from over 5000 users (and growing). Thanks everyone!
-
-`Ansible <https://www.ansible.com>`_ is sponsored by `Red Hat, Inc.

+# ansible-pull is a script that runs ansible in local mode
+# after checking out a playbooks directory from source repo.  There is an
+# example playbook to bootstrap this script in the examples/ dir which
+# installs ansible and sets it up to run on cron.
+
+# usage:
+#   ansible-pull -d /var/lib/ansible \
+#                -U http://example.net/content.git [-C production] \
+#                [path/playbook.yml]
+#
+# the -d and -U arguments are required; the -C argument is optional.
+#
+# ansible-pull accepts an optional argument to specify a playbook
+# location underneath the workdir and then searches the source repo
+# for playbooks in the following order, stopping at the first match:
+#
+# 1. $workdir/path/playbook.yml, if specified
+# 2. $workdir/$fqdn.yml
+# 3. $workdir/$hostname.yml
+# 4. $workdir/local.yml
+#
+# the source repo must contain at least one of these playbooks.

-v2.15.1
-=======
-
-Release Summary
----------------
-
-| Release Date: 2023-06-20
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.15/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.15.html>`__
-
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- ansible-test - Allow float values for the ``--timeout`` option to the ``env`` command. This simplifies testing.
-- ansible-test - Refactored ``env`` command logic and timeout handling.
-- ansible-test - Use ``datetime.datetime.now`` with ``tz`` specified instead of ``datetime.datetime.utcnow``.
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Properly disable ``jinja2_native`` in the template module when jinja2 override is used in the template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80605)
-- ansible-galaxy - Fix variable type error when installing subdir collections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80943)
-- ansible-test - Fix a traceback that occurs when attempting to test Ansible source using a different ansible-test. A clear error message is now given when this scenario occurs.
-- ansible-test - Fix handling of timeouts exceeding one day.
-- ansible-test - Fix various cases where the test timeout could expire without terminating the tests.
-- ansible-test local change detection - use ``git merge-base <branch> HEAD`` instead of ``git merge-base --fork-point <branch>`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79734).
-- deb822_repository - use http-agent for receiving content (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80809).
-- dnf5 - Update dnf5 module to handle API change for setting the download directory (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80887)
-- man page build - Remove the dependency on the ``docs`` directory for building man pages.
-- pep517 build backend - Copy symlinks when copying the source tree. This avoids tracebacks in various scenarios, such as when a venv is present in the source tree.

-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
-- The minimum required ``setuptools`` version is now 45.2.0, as it is the oldest version to support Python 3.10.
-- 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.
-- Use ``package_data`` instead of ``include_package_data`` for ``setup.cfg`` to avoid ``setuptools`` warnings.
-- ``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 - Update the ``default`` containers to include the ``package-data`` requirements update.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``default`` containers to include the ``pylint`` requirements update.
-- 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.

-- 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/79362).
-- 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.
-- AnsibleModule.run_command - Only use selectors when needed, and rely on Python stdlib subprocess for the simple task of collecting stdout/stderr when prompt matching is not required.
-- 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)
-- Display - Defensively configure writing to stdout and stderr with a custom encoding error handler that will replace invalid characters while providing a deprecation warning that non-utf8 text will result in an error in a future version.
-- 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 post-validating looped task fields so the strategy uses the correct values after task execution.
-- 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
-- Prevent running same handler multiple times when included via ``include_role`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73643)
-- 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
-- ``pkg_mgr`` - fix the default dnf version detection
-- 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 from directories that have a trailing path separator (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77803).

-- ansible-galaxy - fix installing signed collections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80648).
-- ansible-galaxy - make initial call to Galaxy server on-demand only when installing, getting info about, and listing roles.
-- ansible-galaxy - reduce API calls to servers by fetching signatures only for final candidates.
-- ansible-galaxy collection install - respect symlinks when installing from source or local repository (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78442)
-- ansible-galaxy collection verify - fix verifying signed collections when the keyring is not configured.
-- 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 ``argcomplete`` version 3.
-- 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 - 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 ``pylint`` to 2.17.2 to resolve several possible false positives.
-- ansible-test - Update ``pylint`` to 2.17.3 to resolve several possible false positives.
-- 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 - When bootstrapping remote FreeBSD instances, use the OS packaged ``setuptools`` instead of installing the latest version from PyPI.
-- 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)
-- dnf5 - Use ``transaction.check_gpg_signatures`` API call to check package signatures AND possibly to recover from when keys are missing.
-- dnf5 - fix module and package names in the message following failed module respawn attempt
-- dnf5 - use the logs API to determine transaction problems
-- 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 ``v2_playbook_on_notify`` callback not being called when notifying handlers
-- 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 responses - Ensure that module responses are utf-8 adhereing to JSON RFC and expectations of the core code.
-- module/role argument spec - validate the type for options that are None when the option is required or has a non-None default (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79656).
-- 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).
-- pep517 build backend - Use the documented ``import_module`` import from ``importlib``.
-- 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)
-- syntax check - Limit ``--syntax-check`` to ``ansible-playbook`` only, as that is the only CLI affected by this argument (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80506)
-- 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.
-- validate-modules sanity test - replace semantic markup parsing and validating code with the code from `antsibull-docs-parser 0.2.0 <https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs-parser/releases/tag/0.2.0>`__ (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80406).
-- 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``.

-    changes:
-      breaking_changes:
-      - ansible-doc - no longer treat plugins in collections whose name starts with
-        ``_`` as deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
-      - 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).
-      - 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 - 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)'
-      - 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
-      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``.
-      - 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 - Update the ``default`` containers to include the ``package-data``
-        requirements update.
-      - ansible-test - Update the ``default`` containers to include the ``pylint``
-        requirements update.
-      - 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)

-      - 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 ().

-      - 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).
