-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.

-      </details>
-
-
-      ⚠
-      Verify first that your idea is not [already requested on
-      GitHub][issue search].
-
-      Also test if the devel branch does not already implement this.
-
-
-      **Tip:** If you are seeking community support, please consider
-      [starting a mailing list thread or chatting in IRC][ML||IRC].

+Coding Guidelines
+=================
+
+Hi!  Thanks for interest in contributing to Ansible.
+
+Here are some guidelines for contributing code.  The purpose of this document are to establish what we're looking for in code contributions, and to make sure
+new contributions know some of the conventions that we've been using.
+
+We don't think much of this should be too strange to readers familiar with contributing to Python projects, though it helps if we all get on the same page.
+
+Language
+========
+
+  * While not all components of Ansible must be in Python, core contributions to the Ansible repo must be written in Python.  This is to maximize the ability of everyone to contribute.
+  * If you want to write non-Python ansible modules or inventory scripts, that's fine, but they are not going to get merged in most likely.  Sorry!!  
+
+PEP8 and basic style checks
+===========================
+
+  * PEP8 is a great Python style guide, which you should read.
+  * PEP8 must not be strictly followed in all aspects, but most of it is good advice
+  * In particular, we don't really care about line lengths.  Buy a bigger monitor!
+  * To run checks for things we care about, run "make pep8"
+  * Similarly, additional checks can be made with "make pyflakes"
+  * There is no need to submit code changes for pep8 and pyflake fixes, as these break attribution history.  Project leadership will make these periodically.
+  * Do not submit pull requests that simply adjust whitespace in the code
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+  * Much of ansible's testing needs are in integration, not unit tests.  Add module tests there.
+  * That being said, there are unit tests too!
+  * Code written must absolutely pass tests (i.e. "make tests")
+  * You should anticipate any error paths in your code and test down those error paths.
+  * Additions to tests for core code is welcome, but not always possible.  Be sure things are at least well tested manually in that case.
+
+Whitespace
+==========
+
+  * Four space indent is strictly required
+  * Include meaningful whitespace between lines of code
+
+Shebang Lines
+=============
+ 
+  * /usr/bin/scripts should start with '/usr/bin/env python'
+  * module code should still use '/usr/bin/python' as this is replaced automatically by 'ansible_python_interpreter', see the FAQ in the docs for more info.
+
+Comments
+========
+
+  * Readability is one of the most important goals for this project
+  * Comment any non-trivial code where someone might not know why you are doing something in a particular way
+  * Though if something should be commented, that's often a sign someone should write a function
+  * All new functions must have a basic docstring comment
+  * Commenting above a line is preferable to commenting at the end of a line
+
+Classes
+=======
+
+  * With the exception of module code (where inline is better), it is desirable to see classes in their own files.
+  * Classes should generally not cause side effects as soon as they are instantiated, move meaningful behavior to methods rather than constructors.
+ 
+Functions and Methods
+=====================
+
+  * In general, functions should not be 'too long' and should describe a meaningful amount of work
+  * When code gets too nested, that's usually the sign the loop body could benefit from being a function
+  * Parts of our existing code are not the best examples of this at times. 
+  * Functions should have names that describe what they do, along with docstrings
+  * Functions should be named with_underscores
+  * "Don't repeat yourself" is generally a good philosophy
+
+Variables
+=========
+
+  * Use descriptive variable names instead of variables like 'x', unless x is a obvious loop index
+  * Ansible python code uses identifiers like 'ClassesLikeThis and variables_like_this
+  * Module parameters should also use_underscores and not runtogether
+
+Module Security
+===============
+
+  * Modules must take steps to avoid passing user input from the shell and always check return codes
+  * always use module.run_command instead of subprocess or Popen or os.system -- this is mandatory
+  * if you use need the shell you must pass use_unsafe_shell=True to module.run_command
+  * if you do not need the shell, avoid using the shell
+  * any variables that can come from the user input with use_unsafe_shell=True must be wrapped by pipes.quote(x)
+  * downloads of https:// resource urls must import module_utils.urls and use the fetch_url method
+
+Misc Preferences
+================
+
+Use the dict constructor where possible when allocating dictionaries:
+
+    # not this:
+    foo = {
+       'a' : 12,
+       'b' : 34
+    }
+
+    # this:
+    foo = dict(
+       a = 12,
+       b = 34
+    )
+
+Line up variables
+
+    # not this
+    a  = 12
+    foosball = 34
+    xyz = 'dog'
+
+    # this
+    a        = 12
+    foosball = 34
+    xyz      = 'dog'
+
+Don't use line continuations:
+
+    # no
+    if (this_is_a_very_long_line and foo and \
+       i_am_going_to_continue_it):
+          bar()
+
+    # better:
+    if (this_is_a_very_long_line and foo and i_am_going_to_continue_it):
+       bar()
+
+Spacing:
+
+    # no
+    x=[1,2,3]
+
+    # no
+    x = [1,2,3]
+
+    # yes
+    x = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
+
+Spacing continued:
+
+    # no
+    x=foo(12)
+
+    # no
+    x = foo( 12 )
+
+    # yes
+    x = foo(12)
+
+Licenses
+========
+
+Every file should have a license header, including the copyright of the original author.  Major additions to the module are allowed
+to add an additional copyright line, and this is especially true of rewrites, but original authorship copyright messages should be preserved.
+
+All contributions to the core repo should preserve original licenses and new contributions must include the GPLv3 header.
+
+Module Documentation
+====================
+
+All module pull requests must include a DOCUMENTATION docstring (YAML format, 
+see other modules for examples) as well as an EXAMPLES docstring, which is free form.  
+
+When adding new modules, any new parameter must have a "version_added" attribute.  
+When submitting a new module, the module should have a "version_added" attribute in the 
+pull request as well, set to the current development version.
+
+Be sure to check grammar and spelling.
+
+It's frequently the case that modules get submitted with YAML that isn't valid, 
+so you can run "make webdocs" from the checkout to preview your module's documentation. 
+If it fails to build, take a look at your DOCUMENTATION string 
+or you might have a Python syntax error in there too.
+
+Python Imports
+==============
+
+To make it clear what a module is importing, imports should not be sprinkled throughout the code. 
+
+Python Imports should happen at the top of the file, exempting code from module_utils.
+
+When a conditional runtime import is required, do so something like this instead:
+
+    HAS_FOO = False
+    try:
+       import foo
+       HAS_FOO = True
+    except ImportError:
+       pass
+
+    ...
+
+    if not HAS_FOO:
+       raise Exception("the foo library is required")
+
+This makes it clear what optional dependencies are but allows this to be deferred until runtime.   In the case of module code, the raising of the Exception will be replaced
+with a "module.exit_json" call.
+
+Exceptions
+==========
+
+In the main body of the code, use typed exceptions where possible:
+    
+    # not this
+    raise Exception("panic!")
+
+    # this
+    from ansible import errors
+    ...
+    raise errors.AnsibleError("panic!")
+
+Similarly, exception checking should be fine grained:
+
+    # not this
+    try:
+       foo()
+    except:
+       bar()
+
+    # but this
+    try:
+       foo()
+    except SomeTypedException:
+       bar()
+
+List Comprehensions
+===================
+
+In general list comprehensions are always preferred to map() and filter() calls.
+
+However, they can be abused.  Optimize for readability, and avoid nesting them too deeply.
+
+Regexes
+=======
+
+There is a time and place for them, but here's an illustrative joke.
+
+"A developer had a problem, and used a regular expression to solve it.  Now the developer had two problems".
+
+Often regexes are difficult to maintain, and a trusty call to other string operations can be a great solution, faster,
+and more readable.
+
+File Conventions
+================
+
+If a piece of code looks for a named YAML file in a directory, it should assume it can take no extension, or an extension of '.yml' or '.yaml'.
+This should be true against all code that loads files.
+
+Any code that uses directories should consider the possibility that the directory may be symlink.
+
+New Ansible language parameters
+===============================
+
+If adding a new parameter, like 'can_fizzbuzz: True/False' be sure the value of the parameter is templated somewhere in the Runner code, as if anything can be parameterized in Ansible,
+there is a user that will try to parameterize it.
+
+String Find
+===========
+
+Use 'in':
+
+    # not this:
+    if x.find('foo') != -1:
+
+    # this: 
+    if 'foo' in x:
+
+String checks
+=============
+
+To test if something is a string, consider that it may be unicode.
+
+    # no
+    if type(x) == str:
+
+    # yes
+    if isinstance(x, basestring):
+
+Cleverness
+==========
+
+Ansible's code is intended to be read by as many people as possible, so we don't particularly encourage clever or heavily idiomatic code.
+
+In particular, metaclasses are probably not appropriate, however entertaining they may be to add.
+
+Git Practices
+=============
+
+Pull requests cannot be accepted that contain merge commits.
+
+Always do "git pull --rebase" and "git rebase" vs "git pull" or "git merge".
+
+Always create a new branch for each pull request to avoid intertwingling different features or fixes on the same branch.
+
+   
+Python Version Compliance
+=========================
+
+All code in Ansible core must support a minimum version of Python 2.6.
+
+Module code must support a minimum of Python 2.4, with occasional exception for modules that require code that themselves require 2.6 and later.
+
+A quick reminder is that list comprehensions in Python 2.4 are not as fully fleshed out, there are no 'dict' comprehensions, and there is no 'with' statement.
+But otherwise it's pretty much all the same.
+
+The End
+=======
+
+This was not meant to be a scary document, so we hope it wasn't, but we also hope this helps you write code that is easier to maintain by others in the future.
+If you have questions about this document, please ask on the ansible-devel mailing list.
+
+Thank you!

+Welcome To Ansible GitHub
+=========================
+
+Hi! Nice to see you here!
+
+If you'd like to ask a question
+===============================
+
+Please see [this web page ](http://docs.ansible.com/community.html) for community information, which includes pointers on how to ask questions on the [mailing lists](http://docs.ansible.com/community.html#mailing-list-information) and IRC.  
+
+The github issue tracker is not the best place for questions for various reasons, but both IRC and the mailing list are very helpful places for those things, and that page has the pointers to those.
+
+If you'd like to contribute code
+================================
+
+Please see [this web page](http://docs.ansible.com/community.html) for information about the contribution process.  Important license agreement information is also included on that page.
+
+If you'd like to file a bug
+===========================
+
+I'd also read the community page above, but in particular, make sure you copy [this issue template](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md) into your ticket description.  We have a friendly neighborhood bot that will remind you if you forget :)  This template helps us organize tickets faster and prevents asking some repeated questions, so it's very helpful to us and we appreciate your help with it.
+
+Also please make sure you are testing on the latest released version of Ansible or the development branch.
+
+Thanks!

+##### Issue Type:
+
+Can you help us out in labelling this by telling us what kind of ticket this this?  You can say “Bug Report”, “Feature Idea”, “Feature Pull Request”, “New Module Pull Request”, “Bugfix Pull Request”, “Documentation Report”, or “Docs Pull Request”.
+
+##### Ansible Version:
+
+Let us know what version of Ansible you are using.  Please supply the verbatim output from running “ansible --version”.  If you're filing a ticket on a version of Ansible which is not the latest, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could retest on the latest version first.  We don't expect you to test against the development branch most of the time, but we may ask for that if you have cycles.  Thanks!
+
+##### Environment:
+
+What OS are you running Ansible from and what OS are you managing?  Examples include RHEL 5/6, Centos 5/6, Ubuntu 12.04/13.10, *BSD, Solaris.  If this is a generic feature request or it doesn’t apply, just say “N/A”.  Not all tickets may be about operating system related things and we understand that.
+
+##### Summary:
+
+Please summarize your request in this space.  You will earn bonus points for being succinct, but please add enough detail so we can understand the request.  Thanks!
+
+##### Steps To Reproduce:
+
+If this is a bug ticket, please enter the steps you use to reproduce the problem in the space below.  If this is a feature request, please enter the steps you would use to use the feature.  If an example playbook is useful, please include a short reproducer inline, indented by four spaces.  If a longer one is necessary, linking to one uploaded to gist.github.com would be great.  Much appreciated!
+
+##### Expected Results:
+
+Please enter your expected results in this space.  When running the steps supplied above in the previous section, what did you expect to happen?  If showing example output, please indent your output by four spaces so it will render correctly in GitHub's viewer thingy.
+
+##### Actual Results:
+
+Please enter your actual results in this space.  When running the steps supplied above, what actually happened?  If you are showing example output, please indent your output by four spaces so it will render correctly in GitHub.  Thanks again!

-# 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/).
+Ansible
+=======
 
-## Design Principles
+Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system.  It handles configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration - including trivializing things like zero downtime rolling updates with load balancers.
 
-* 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.
+Read the documentation and more at http://ansible.com/
 
-## Use Ansible
+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 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.
+You can find instructions [here](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_getting_started.html) for a variety of platforms.  If you decide to go with the development branch, be sure to run "git submodule update --init --recursive" after doing a checkout. 
 
-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.
+If you want to download a tarball of a release, go to [releases.ansible.com](http://releases.ansible.com/ansible), though most users use yum (using the EPEL instructions linked above), apt (using the PPA instructions linked above), or "pip install ansible".
 
-## Get Involved
+Design Principles
+=================
 
-* 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
+   * Read [Community Information](http://docs.ansible.com/community.html) for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.  
+   * All code submissions are done through pull requests.  Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use "git rebase" vs "git merge" for this reason.  If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts.  This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.

+   * The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
+   * As of 1.8, modules are kept in different repos, you'll want to follow [core](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core) and [extras](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras)
+   * Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
+   * We'd love to have your contributions, read [Community Information](http://docs.ansible.com/community.html) for notes on how to get started.
 
-## Branch Info
+Authors
+=======
 
-* 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.

+=========
+
+A brief description of the role goes here.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.
+
+Role Variables
+--------------
+
+A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.
+
+Example Playbook
+----------------
+
+Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
+
+    - hosts: servers
+      roles:
+         - { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
+
+License
+-------
+
+BSD
+
+Author Information
+------------------
+
+An optional section for the role authors to include contact information, or a website (HTML is not allowed).

+# ansible-pull is a script that runs ansible in local mode

+# 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.

-Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
---------------------------------
-
-- assert - Nested templating may result in an inability for the conditional to be evaluated. See the porting guide for more information.
-
-Security Fixes
---------------
-
-- templating - Address issues where internal templating can cause unsafe variables to lose their unsafe designation (CVE-2023-5764)
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Fix issue where an ``include_tasks`` handler in a role was not able to locate a file in ``tasks/`` when ``tasks_from`` was used as a role entry point and ``main.yml`` was not present (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82241)
-- Plugin loader does not dedupe nor cache filter/test plugins by file basename, but full path name.
-- Restoring the ability of filters/tests can have same file base name but different tests/filters defined inside.
-- ansible-pull now will expand relative paths for the ``-d|--directory`` option is now expanded before use.
-- ansible-pull will now correctly handle become and connection password file options for ansible-playbook.
-- flush_handlers - properly handle a handler failure in a nested block when ``force_handlers`` is set (http://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81532)
-- module no_log will no longer affect top level booleans, for example ``no_log_module_parameter='a'`` will no longer hide ``changed=False`` as a 'no log value' (matches 'a').
-- role params now have higher precedence than host facts again, matching documentation, this had unintentionally changed in 2.15.
-- wait_for should not handle 'non mmapable files' again.

-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- Add Python type hints to the Display class (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80841)
-- Add ``GALAXY_COLLECTIONS_PATH_WARNING`` option to disable the warning given by ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` when installing a collection to a path that isn't in the configured collection paths.
-- Add ``python3.12`` to the default ``INTERPRETER_PYTHON_FALLBACK`` list.
-- Add ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow`` to ``ansible.module_utils.compat.datetime`` to return fixed offset datetime objects.
-- Add a general ``GALAXY_SERVER_TIMEOUT`` config option for distribution servers (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79833).
-- Added Python type annotation to connection plugins
-- CLI argument parsing - Automatically prepend to the help of CLI arguments that support being specified multiple times. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22396)
-- DEFAULT_TRANSPORT now defaults to 'ssh', the old 'smart' option is being deprecated as versions of OpenSSH without control persist are basically not present anymore.
-- Documentation for set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union`` now states that the returned list items are in arbitrary order.
-- Record ``removal_date`` in runtime metadata as a string instead of a date.
-- Remove the ``CleansingNodeVisitor`` class and its usage due to the templating changes that made it superfluous. Also simplify the ``Conditional`` class.
-- Removed ``exclude`` and ``recursive-exclude`` commands for generated files from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These excludes were unnecessary since releases are expected to be built with a clean worktree.
-- Removed ``exclude`` commands for sanity test files from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These tests were previously excluded because they did not pass when run from an sdist. However, sanity tests are not expected to pass from an sdist, so excluding some (but not all) of the failing tests makes little sense.
-- Removed redundant ``include`` commands from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These includes either duplicated default behavior or another command.
-- The ``ansible-core`` sdist no longer contains pre-generated man pages. Instead, a ``packaging/cli-doc/build.py`` script is included in the sdist. This script can generate man pages and standalone RST documentation for ``ansible-core`` CLI programs.
-- The ``docs`` and ``examples`` directories are no longer included in the ``ansible-core`` sdist. These directories have been moved to the https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation repository.
-- The minimum required ``setuptools`` version is now 66.1.0, as it is the oldest version to support Python 3.12.
-- Update ``ansible_service_mgr`` fact to include init system for SMGL OS family
-- Use ``ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils._text``.
-- Use ``importlib.resources.abc.TraversableResources`` instead of deprecated ``importlib.abc.TraversableResources`` where available (https:/github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81082).
-- Use ``include`` where ``recursive-include`` is unnecessary in the ``MANIFEST.in`` file.
-- Use ``package_data`` instead of ``include_package_data`` for ``setup.cfg`` to avoid ``setuptools`` warnings.
-- Utilize gpg check provided internally by the ``transaction.run`` method as oppose to calling it manually.
-- ``Templar`` - do not add the ``dict`` constructor to ``globals`` as all required Jinja2 versions already do so
-- ansible-doc - allow to filter listing of collections and metadata dump by more than one collection (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81450).
-- ansible-galaxy - Add a plural option to improve ignoring multiple signature error status codes when installing or verifying collections. A space-separated list of error codes can follow --ignore-signature-status-codes in addition to specifying --ignore-signature-status-code multiple times (for example, ``--ignore-signature-status-codes NO_PUBKEY UNEXPECTED``).
-- ansible-galaxy - Remove internal configuration argument ``v3`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80721)
-- ansible-galaxy - add note to the collection dependency resolver error message about pre-releases if ``--pre`` was not provided (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80048).
-- ansible-galaxy - used to crash out with a "Errno 20 Not a directory" error when extracting files from a role when hitting a file with an illegal name (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81553). Now it gives a warning identifying the culprit file and the rule violation (e.g., ``my$class.jar`` has a ``$`` in the name) before crashing out, giving the user a chance to remove the invalid file and try again. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81555).
-- ansible-test - Add Alpine 3.18 to remotes
-- ansible-test - Add Fedora 38 container.
-- ansible-test - Add Fedora 38 remote.
-- ansible-test - Add FreeBSD 13.2 remote.
-- ansible-test - Add new pylint checker for new ``# deprecated:`` comments within code to trigger errors when time to remove code that has no user facing deprecation message. Only supported in ansible-core, not collections.
-- ansible-test - Add support for RHEL 8.8 remotes.
-- ansible-test - Add support for RHEL 9.2 remotes.
-- ansible-test - Add support for testing with Python 3.12.
-- ansible-test - Allow float values for the ``--timeout`` option to the ``env`` command. This simplifies testing.
-- ansible-test - Enable ``thread`` code coverage in addition to the existing ``multiprocessing`` coverage.
-- ansible-test - Make Python 3.12 the default version used in the ``base`` and ``default`` containers.
-- ansible-test - RHEL 8.8 provisioning can now be used with the ``--python 3.11`` option.
-- ansible-test - RHEL 9.2 provisioning can now be used with the ``--python 3.11`` option.
-- ansible-test - Refactored ``env`` command logic and timeout handling.

-- ansible-test - Replace the ``pytest-forked`` pytest plugin with a custom plugin.
-- ansible-test - The ``no-get-exception`` sanity test is now limited to plugins in collections. Previously any Python file in a collection was checked for ``get_exception`` usage.
-- ansible-test - The ``replace-urlopen`` sanity test is now limited to plugins in collections. Previously any Python file in a collection was checked for ``urlopen`` usage.
-- ansible-test - The ``use-compat-six`` sanity test is now limited to plugins in collections. Previously any Python file in a collection was checked for ``six`` usage.
-- ansible-test - The openSUSE test container has been updated to openSUSE Leap 15.5.
-- ansible-test - Update pip to ``23.1.2`` and setuptools to ``67.7.2``.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``default`` containers.
-- ansible-test - Update the ``nios-test-container`` to version 2.0.0, which supports API version 2.9.
-- ansible-test - Update the logic used to detect when ``ansible-test`` is running from source.
-- ansible-test - Updated the CloudStack test container to version 1.6.1.
-- ansible-test - Updated the distro test containers to version 6.3.0 to include coverage 7.3.2 for Python 3.8+. The alpine3 container is now based on 3.18 instead of 3.17 and includes Python 3.11 instead of Python 3.10.
-- ansible-test - Use ``datetime.datetime.now`` with ``tz`` specified instead of ``datetime.datetime.utcnow``.
-- ansible-test - Use a context manager to perform cleanup at exit instead of using the built-in ``atexit`` module.
-- ansible-test - When invoking ``sleep`` in containers during container setup, the ``env`` command is used to avoid invoking the shell builtin, if present.
-- ansible-test - remove Alpine 3.17 from remotes
-- ansible-test — Python 3.8–3.12 will use ``coverage`` v7.3.2.
-- ansible-test — ``coverage`` v6.5.0 is to be used only under Python 3.7.
-- ansible-vault create: Now raises an error when opening the editor without tty. The flag --skip-tty-check restores previous behaviour.
-- ansible_user_module - tweaked macos user defaults to reflect expected defaults (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/44316)
-- apt - return calculated diff while running apt clean operation.
-- blockinfile - add append_newline and prepend_newline options (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80835).
-- cli - Added short option '-J' for asking for vault password (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80523).

-- config lookup new option show_origin to also return the origin of a configuration value.
-- display methods for warning and deprecation are now proxied to main process when issued from a fork. This allows for the deduplication of warnings and deprecations to work globally.

-- include_vars - os.walk now follows symbolic links when traversing directories (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80460)
-- module compression is now sourced directly via config, bypassing play_context possibly stale values.
-- reboot - show last error message in verbose logs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81574).
-- service_facts now returns more info for rcctl managed systesm (OpenBSD).
-- tasks - the ``retries`` keyword can be specified without ``until`` in which case the task is retried until it succeeds but at most ``retries`` times (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/20802)
-- user - add new option ``password_expire_warn`` (supported on Linux only) to set the number of days of warning before a password change is required (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79882).
-- yum_repository - Align module documentation with parameters
-
-Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
---------------------------------
-
-- Any plugin using the config system and the `cli` entry to use the `timeout` from the command line, will see the value change if the use had configured it in any of the lower precedence methods. If relying on this behaviour to consume the global/generic timeout from the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant, please consult the documentation on plugin configuration to add the overlaping entries.
-- ansible-test - Test plugins that rely on containers no longer support reusing running containers. The previous behavior was an undocumented, untested feature.
-- service module will not permanently configure variables/flags for openbsd when doing enable/disable operation anymore, this module was never meant to do this type of work, just to manage the service state itself. A rcctl_config or similar module should be created and used instead.
-
-Deprecated Features
--------------------
-
-- Deprecated ini config option ``collections_paths``, use the singular form ``collections_path`` instead
-- Deprecated the env var ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS``, use the singular form ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH`` instead
-- Old style vars plugins which use the entrypoints `get_host_vars` or `get_group_vars` are deprecated. The plugin should be updated to inherit from `BaseVarsPlugin` and define a `get_vars` method as the entrypoint.
-- Support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 has been removed as the support end of life from Microsoft is October 10th 2023. These versions of Windows will no longer be tested in this Ansible release and it cannot be guaranteed that they will continue to work going forward.
-- ``STRING_CONVERSION_ACTION`` config option is deprecated as it is no longer used in the Ansible Core code base.
-- the 'smart' option for setting a connection plugin is being removed as it's main purpose (choosing between ssh and paramiko) is now irrelevant.
-- vault and unfault filters - the undocumented ``vaultid`` parameter is deprecated and will be removed in ansible-core 2.20. Use ``vault_id`` instead.
-- yum_repository - deprecated parameter 'keepcache' (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78693).
-

-Security Fixes
---------------
-
-- ansible-galaxy - Prevent roles from using symlinks to overwrite files outside of the installation directory (CVE-2023-5115)
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Allow for searching handler subdir for included task via include_role (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81722)
-- 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.
-- Cache host_group_vars after instantiating it once and limit the amount of repetitive work it needs to do every time it runs.
-- Call PluginLoader.all() once for vars plugins, and load vars plugins that run automatically or are enabled specifically by name subsequently.
-- 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.
-- Exclude internal options from man pages and docs.
-- Fix ``ansible-config init`` man page option indentation.
-- Fix ``ast`` deprecation warnings for ``Str`` and ``value.s`` when using Python 3.12.
-- Fix ``run_once`` being incorrectly interpreted on handlers (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81666)
-- Fix exceptions caused by various inputs when performing arg splitting or parsing key/value pairs. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46379 and issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/61497
-- Fix incorrect parsing of multi-line Jinja2 blocks when performing arg splitting or parsing key/value pairs.
-- Fix post-validating looped task fields so the strategy uses the correct values after task execution.
-- Fixed `pip` module failure in case of usage quotes for `virtualenv_command` option for the venv command. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76372)
-- From issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80880, when notifying a handler from another handler, handler notifications must be registered immediately as the flush_handler call is not recursive.
-- Import ``FILE_ATTRIBUTES`` from ``ansible.module_utils.common.file`` in ``ansible.module_utils.basic`` instead of defining it twice.
-- Inventory scripts parser not treat exception when getting hostsvar (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81103)
-- On Python 3 use datetime methods ``fromtimestamp`` and ``now`` with UTC timezone instead of ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow``, which are deprecated in Python 3.12.
-- PluginLoader - fix Jinja plugin performance issues (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79652)
-- PowerShell - Remove some code which is no longer valid for dotnet 5+
-- Prevent running same handler multiple times when included via ``include_role`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73643)
-- Prompting - add a short sleep between polling for user input to reduce CPU consumption (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81516).
-- Properly disable ``jinja2_native`` in the template module when jinja2 override is used in the template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80605)
-- Properly template tags in parent blocks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81053)
-- Remove unreachable parser error for removed ``static`` parameter of ``include_role``
-- Replace uses of ``configparser.ConfigParser.readfp()`` which was removed in Python 3.12 with ``configparser.ConfigParser.read_file()`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81656)
-- Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union`` now always return a ``list``, never a ``set``. Previously, a ``set`` would be returned if the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``, instead of a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
-- Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union`` now use set operations when the given items are hashable. Previously, list operations were performed unless the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``, instead of a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
-- Switch result queue from a ``multiprocessing.queues.Queue` to ``multiprocessing.queues.SimpleQueue``, primarily to allow properly handling pickling errors, to prevent an infinite hang waiting for task results
-- The ``ansible-config init`` command now has a documentation description.
-- The ``ansible-galaxy collection download`` command now has a documentation description.
-- The ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` command documentation is now visible (previously hidden by a decorator).
-- The ``ansible-galaxy collection verify`` command now has a documentation description.
-- The ``ansible-galaxy role install`` command documentation is now visible (previously hidden by a decorator).
-- The ``ansible-inventory`` command command now has a documentation description (previously used as the epilog).
-- The ``hostname`` module now also updates both current and permanent hostname on OpenBSD. Before it only updated the permanent hostname (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80520).
-- Update module_utils.urls unit test to work with cryptography >= 41.0.0.
-- When generating man pages, use ``func`` to find the command function instead of looking it up by the command name.
-- ``StrategyBase._process_pending_results`` - create a ``Templar`` on demand for templating ``changed_when``/``failed_when``.
-- ``ansible-galaxy`` now considers all collection paths when identifying which collection requirements are already installed. Use the ``COLLECTIONS_PATHS`` and ``COLLECTIONS_SCAN_SYS_PATHS`` config options to modify these. Previously only the install path was considered when resolving the candidates. The install path will remain the only one potentially modified. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79767, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81163)
-- ``ansible.module_utils.service`` - ensure binary data transmission in ``daemonize()``
-- ``ansible.module_utils.service`` - fix inter-process communication in ``daemonize()``
-- ``import_role`` reverts to previous behavior of exporting vars at compile time.
-- ``pkg_mgr`` - fix the default dnf version detection
-- ansiballz - Prevent issue where the time on the control host could change part way through building the ansiballz file, potentially causing a pre-1980 date to be used during ansiballz unpacking leading to a zip file error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80089)
-- ansible terminal color settings were incorrectly limited to 16 options via 'choices', removing so all 256 can be accessed.
-- ansible-console - fix filtering by collection names when a collection search path was set (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81450).
-- ansible-galaxy - Enabled the ``data`` tarfile filter during role installation for Python versions that support it. A probing mechanism is used to avoid Python versions with a broken implementation.
-- ansible-galaxy - Fix issue installing collections containing directories with more than 100 characters on python versions before 3.10.6
-- ansible-galaxy - Fix variable type error when installing subdir collections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80943)
-- ansible-galaxy - Provide a better error message when using a requirements file with an invalid format - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81901
-- 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 - reduce API calls to servers by fetching signatures only for final candidates.
-- ansible-galaxy - started allowing the use of pre-releases for collections that do not have any stable versions published. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81606)
-- ansible-galaxy - started allowing the use of pre-releases for dependencies on any level of the dependency tree that specifically demand exact pre-release versions of collections and not version ranges. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81606)
-- ansible-galaxy collection verify - fix verifying signed collections when the keyring is not configured.
-- ansible-galaxy info - fix reporting no role found when lookup_role_by_name returns None.
-- ansible-inventory - index available_hosts for major performance boost when dumping large inventories
-- ansible-test - Add a ``pylint`` plugin to work around a known issue on Python 3.12.
-- ansible-test - Add support for ``argcomplete`` version 3.
-- ansible-test - All containers created by ansible-test now include the current test session ID in their name. This avoids conflicts between concurrent ansible-test invocations using the same container host.
-- ansible-test - Always use ansible-test managed entry points for ansible-core CLI tools when not running from source. This fixes issues where CLI entry points created during install are not compatible with ansible-test.
-- 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 parsing of cgroup entries which contain a ``:`` in the path (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81977).
-- ansible-test - Fix several possible tracebacks when using the ``-e`` option with sanity tests.
-- ansible-test - Fix various cases where the test timeout could expire without terminating the tests.
-- ansible-test - Include missing ``pylint`` requirements for Python 3.10.
-- ansible-test - Pre-build a PyYAML wheel before installing requirements to avoid a potential Cython build failure.
-- ansible-test - Remove redundant warning about missing programs before attempting to execute them.

-Known Issues
-------------
-
-- ansible-galaxy - dies in the middle of installing a role when that role contains Java inner classes (files with $ in the file name).  This is by design, to exclude temporary or backup files. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81553).
-- ansible-test - The ``pep8`` sanity test is unable to detect f-string spacing issues (E201, E202) on Python 3.10 and 3.11. They are correctly detected under Python 3.12. See (https://github.com/PyCQA/pycodestyle/issues/1190).

-    changes:
-      breaking_changes:
-      - Any plugin using the config system and the `cli` entry to use the `timeout`
-        from the command line, will see the value change if the use had configured
-        it in any of the lower precedence methods. If relying on this behaviour to
-        consume the global/generic timeout from the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant, please
-        consult the documentation on plugin configuration to add the overlaping entries.
-      - ansible-test - Test plugins that rely on containers no longer support reusing
-        running containers. The previous behavior was an undocumented, untested feature.
-      - service module will not permanently configure variables/flags for openbsd
-        when doing enable/disable operation anymore, this module was never meant to
-        do this type of work, just to manage the service state itself. A rcctl_config
-        or similar module should be created and used instead.
-      bugfixes:
-      - Allow for searching handler subdir for included task via include_role (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81722)
-      - 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.
-      - 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.
-      - Exclude internal options from man pages and docs.
-      - Fix ``ansible-config init`` man page option indentation.
-      - Fix ``ast`` deprecation warnings for ``Str`` and ``value.s`` when using Python
-        3.12.
-      - Fix exceptions caused by various inputs when performing arg splitting or parsing
-        key/value pairs. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46379
-        and issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/61497
-      - Fix incorrect parsing of multi-line Jinja2 blocks when performing arg splitting
-        or parsing key/value pairs.
-      - Fix post-validating looped task fields so the strategy uses the correct values
-        after task execution.
-      - Fixed `pip` module failure in case of usage quotes for `virtualenv_command`
-        option for the venv command. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76372)
-      - From issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80880, when notifying
-        a handler from another handler, handler notifications must be registered immediately
-        as the flush_handler call is not recursive.
-      - Import ``FILE_ATTRIBUTES`` from ``ansible.module_utils.common.file`` in ``ansible.module_utils.basic``
-        instead of defining it twice.
-      - Inventory scripts parser not treat exception when getting hostsvar (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81103)
-      - On Python 3 use datetime methods ``fromtimestamp`` and ``now`` with UTC timezone
-        instead of ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow``, which are deprecated in Python
-        3.12.
-      - PluginLoader - fix Jinja plugin performance issues (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79652)
-      - PowerShell - Remove some code which is no longer valid for dotnet 5+

-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73643)
-      - Prompting - add a short sleep between polling for user input to reduce CPU
-        consumption (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81516).

-      - Replace uses of ``configparser.ConfigParser.readfp()`` which was removed in
-        Python 3.12 with ``configparser.ConfigParser.read_file()`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81656)
-      - Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union``
-        now always return a ``list``, never a ``set``. Previously, a ``set`` would
-        be returned if the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``, instead of
-        a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
-      - Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union``
-        now use set operations when the given items are hashable. Previously, list
-        operations were performed unless the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``,
-        instead of a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
-      - Switch result queue from a ``multiprocessing.queues.Queue` to ``multiprocessing.queues.SimpleQueue``,
-        primarily to allow properly handling pickling errors, to prevent an infinite
-        hang waiting for task results

-        for templating ``changed_when``/``failed_when``.'
-      - '``ansible-galaxy`` now considers all collection paths when identifying which
-        collection requirements are already installed. Use the ``COLLECTIONS_PATHS``
-        and ``COLLECTIONS_SCAN_SYS_PATHS`` config options to modify these. Previously
-        only the install path was considered when resolving the candidates. The install
-        path will remain the only one potentially modified. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79767,
-        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81163)'

-      - ansiballz - Prevent issue where the time on the control host could change
-        part way through building the ansiballz file, potentially causing a pre-1980
-        date to be used during ansiballz unpacking leading to a zip file error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80089)
-      - ansible terminal color settings were incorrectly limited to 16 options via
-        'choices', removing so all 256 can be accessed.

-        invocations using the same container host.
-      - ansible-test - Always use ansible-test managed entry points for ansible-core
-        CLI tools when not running from source. This fixes issues where CLI entry

-        that particular host (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81486).
-      - service module, does not permanently configure flags flags on Openbsd when
-        enabling/disabling a service.
-      - service module, enable/disable is not a exclusive action in checkmode anymore.
-      - setup gather_timeout - Fix timeout in get_mounts_facts for linux.
-      - setup module (fact gathering) will now try to be smarter about different versions

-      - tarfile - handle data filter deprecation warning message for extract and extractall
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80832).
-      - template - Fix for formatting issues when a template path contains valid jinja/strftime
-        pattern (especially line break one) and using the template path in ansible_managed

-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80406).
-      - vars_prompt - internally convert the ``unsafe`` value to ``bool``
-      - vault and unvault filters now properly take ``vault_id`` parameter.
-      - win_fetch - Add support for using file with wildcards in file name. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73128)
-      deprecated_features:
-      - Deprecated ini config option ``collections_paths``, use the singular form
-        ``collections_path`` instead
-      - Deprecated the env var ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS``, use the singular form
-        ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH`` instead
-      - Support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 has been removed as the support
-        end of life from Microsoft is October 10th 2023. These versions of Windows
-        will no longer be tested in this Ansible release and it cannot be guaranteed
-        that they will continue to work going forward.
-      - '``STRING_CONVERSION_ACTION`` config option is deprecated as it is no longer
-        used in the Ansible Core code base.'
-      - the 'smart' option for setting a connection plugin is being removed as it's
-        main purpose (choosing between ssh and paramiko) is now irrelevant.
-      - vault and unfault filters - the undocumented ``vaultid`` parameter is deprecated
-        and will be removed in ansible-core 2.20. Use ``vault_id`` instead.
-      - yum_repository - deprecated parameter 'keepcache' (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78693).
-      known_issues:
-      - ansible-galaxy - dies in the middle of installing a role when that role contains
-        Java inner classes (files with $ in the file name).  This is by design, to
-        exclude temporary or backup files. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81553).
-      - ansible-test - The ``pep8`` sanity test is unable to detect f-string spacing
-        issues (E201, E202) on Python 3.10 and 3.11. They are correctly detected under
-        Python 3.12. See (https://github.com/PyCQA/pycodestyle/issues/1190).
-      minor_changes:
-      - Add Python type hints to the Display class (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80841)
-      - Add ``GALAXY_COLLECTIONS_PATH_WARNING`` option to disable the warning given
-        by ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` when installing a collection to a
-        path that isn't in the configured collection paths.
-      - Add ``python3.12`` to the default ``INTERPRETER_PYTHON_FALLBACK`` list.
-      - Add ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow`` to ``ansible.module_utils.compat.datetime``
-        to return fixed offset datetime objects.
-      - Add a general ``GALAXY_SERVER_TIMEOUT`` config option for distribution servers
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79833).
-      - Added Python type annotation to connection plugins
-      - CLI argument parsing - Automatically prepend to the help of CLI arguments
-        that support being specified multiple times. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22396)
-      - DEFAULT_TRANSPORT now defaults to 'ssh', the old 'smart' option is being deprecated
-        as versions of OpenSSH without control persist are basically not present anymore.
-      - Documentation for set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference``
-        and ``union`` now states that the returned list items are in arbitrary order.
-      - Record ``removal_date`` in runtime metadata as a string instead of a date.
-      - Remove the ``CleansingNodeVisitor`` class and its usage due to the templating
-        changes that made it superfluous. Also simplify the ``Conditional`` class.
-      - Removed ``exclude`` and ``recursive-exclude`` commands for generated files
-        from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These excludes were unnecessary since releases
-        are expected to be built with a clean worktree.
-      - Removed ``exclude`` commands for sanity test files from the ``MANIFEST.in``
-        file. These tests were previously excluded because they did not pass when
-        run from an sdist. However, sanity tests are not expected to pass from an
-        sdist, so excluding some (but not all) of the failing tests makes little sense.
-      - Removed redundant ``include`` commands from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These
-        includes either duplicated default behavior or another command.
-      - The ``ansible-core`` sdist no longer contains pre-generated man pages. Instead,
-        a ``packaging/cli-doc/build.py`` script is included in the sdist. This script
-        can generate man pages and standalone RST documentation for ``ansible-core``
-        CLI programs.
-      - The ``docs`` and ``examples`` directories are no longer included in the ``ansible-core``
-        sdist. These directories have been moved to the https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation
-        repository.
-      - The minimum required ``setuptools`` version is now 66.1.0, as it is the oldest
-        version to support Python 3.12.
-      - Update ``ansible_service_mgr`` fact to include init system for SMGL OS family
-      - Use ``ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils._text``.
-      - Use ``importlib.resources.abc.TraversableResources`` instead of deprecated
-        ``importlib.abc.TraversableResources`` where available (https:/github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81082).
-      - Use ``include`` where ``recursive-include`` is unnecessary in the ``MANIFEST.in``
-        file.
-      - Use ``package_data`` instead of ``include_package_data`` for ``setup.cfg``
-        to avoid ``setuptools`` warnings.
-      - Utilize gpg check provided internally by the ``transaction.run`` method as
-        oppose to calling it manually.
-      - '``Templar`` - do not add the ``dict`` constructor to ``globals`` as all required
-        Jinja2 versions already do so'
-      - ansible-doc - allow to filter listing of collections and metadata dump by
-        more than one collection (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81450).
-      - ansible-galaxy - Add a plural option to improve ignoring multiple signature
-        error status codes when installing or verifying collections. A space-separated
-        list of error codes can follow --ignore-signature-status-codes in addition
-        to specifying --ignore-signature-status-code multiple times (for example,
-        ``--ignore-signature-status-codes NO_PUBKEY UNEXPECTED``).
-      - ansible-galaxy - Remove internal configuration argument ``v3`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80721)
-      - ansible-galaxy - add note to the collection dependency resolver error message
-        about pre-releases if ``--pre`` was not provided (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80048).
-      - ansible-galaxy - used to crash out with a "Errno 20 Not a directory" error
-        when extracting files from a role when hitting a file with an illegal name
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81553). Now it gives a warning identifying
-        the culprit file and the rule violation (e.g., ``my$class.jar`` has a ``$``
-        in the name) before crashing out, giving the user a chance to remove the invalid
-        file and try again. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81555).

-        test plugin.
-      - ansible-test - Replace the ``pytest-forked`` pytest plugin with a custom plugin.
-      - ansible-test - The ``no-get-exception`` sanity test is now limited to plugins
-        in collections. Previously any Python file in a collection was checked for
-        ``get_exception`` usage.
-      - ansible-test - The ``replace-urlopen`` sanity test is now limited to plugins
-        in collections. Previously any Python file in a collection was checked for
-        ``urlopen`` usage.
-      - ansible-test - The ``use-compat-six`` sanity test is now limited to plugins

-        value.
-      - display methods for warning and deprecation are now proxied to main process

-      - assert - Nested templating may result in an inability for the conditional
-        to be evaluated. See the porting guide for more information.
-      bugfixes:
-      - Fix issue where an ``include_tasks`` handler in a role was not able to locate
-        a file in ``tasks/`` when ``tasks_from`` was used as a role entry point and
-        ``main.yml`` was not present (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82241)
-      - Plugin loader does not dedupe nor cache filter/test plugins by file basename,
-        but full path name.
-      - Restoring the ability of filters/tests can have same file base name but different
-        tests/filters defined inside.
-      - ansible-pull now will expand relative paths for the ``-d|--directory`` option
-        is now expanded before use.
-      - ansible-pull will now correctly handle become and connection password file
-        options for ansible-playbook.
-      - flush_handlers - properly handle a handler failure in a nested block when
-        ``force_handlers`` is set (http://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81532)
-      - module no_log will no longer affect top level booleans, for example ``no_log_module_parameter='a'``
-        will no longer hide ``changed=False`` as a 'no log value' (matches 'a').
-      - role params now have higher precedence than host facts again, matching documentation,
-        this had unintentionally changed in 2.15.
-      - wait_for should not handle 'non mmapable files' again.
