-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.

-        ](https://xkcd.com/1172/)
-      </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].

+Ansible Changes By Release
+==========================
+
+0.6 "Cabo" ------------ pending
+
+playbooks:
+
+* support to tag tasks and includes and use --tags in playbook CLI 
+* playbooks can now include other playbooks (example/playbooks/nested_playbooks.yml)
+* vars_files now usable with with_items, provided file paths don't contain host specific facts
+* error reporting if with_items value is unbound
+* with_items no longer creates lots of tasks, creates one task that makes multiple calls
+* can use host_specific facts inside with_items (see above)
+* at the top level of a playbook, set 'gather_facts: False' to skip fact gathering
+* first_available_file and with_items used together will now raise an error
+* to catch typos, like 'var' for 'vars', playbooks and tasks now yell on invalid parameters
+* automatically load (directory_of_inventory_file)/group_vars/groupname and /host_vars/hostname in vars_files
+* playbook is now colorized, set ANSIBLE_NOCOLOR=1 if you do not like this, does not colorize if not a TTY
+* hostvars now preserved between plays (regression in 0.5 from 0.4), useful for sharing vars in multinode configs
+* ignore_errors: True on a task can be used to allow a task to fail and not stop the play
+* with_items with the apt/yum module will install/remove/update everything in a single command
+
+inventory:
+
+* groups variable available as a hash to return the hosts in each group name
+* in YAML inventory, hosts can list their groups in inverted order now also (see tests/yaml_hosts)
+* YAML inventory is deprecated and will be removed in 0.7
+* ec2 inventory script
+* support ranges of hosts in the host file, like www[001-100].example.com (supports leading zeros and also not)
+
+modules:
+
+* fetch module now does not fail a system when requesting file paths (ex: logs) that don't exist
+* apt module now takes an optional install-recommends=yes|no (default yes)
+* fixes to the return codes of the copy module
+* copy module takes a remote md5sum to avoid large file transfer
+* various user and group module fixes (error handling, etc)
+* apt module now takes an optional force parameter
+* slightly better psychic service status handling for the service module
+* fetch module fixes for SSH connection type
+* modules now consistently all take yes/no for boolean parameters (and DWIM on true/false/1/0/y/n/etc)
+* setup module no longer saves to disk, template module now only used in playbooks
+* setup module no longer needs to run twice per playbook
+* apt module now passes DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
+* mount module (manages active mounts + fstab)
+* setup module fixes if no ipv6 support
+* internals: template in common module boilerplate, also causes less SSH operations when used
+* git module fixes
+* setup module overhaul, more modular 
+* minor caching logic added to inventory to reduce hammering of inventory scripts.
+* MySQL and PostgreSQL modules for user and db management
+* vars_prompt now supports private password entry (see examples/playbooks/prompts.yml)
+* yum module modified to be more tolerant of plugins spewing random console messages (ex: RHN)
+
+internals:
+
+* when sudoing to root, still use /etc/ansible/setup as the metadata path, as if root
+* paramiko is now only imported if needed when running from source checkout
+* cowsay support on Ubuntu
+* various ssh connection fixes for old Ubuntu clients
+* ./hacking/test-module now supports options like ansible takes and has a debugger mode
+* sudoing to a user other than root now works more seamlessly (uses /tmp, avoids umask issues)
+
+0.5 "Amsterdam" ------- July 04, 2012
+
+* Service module gets more accurate service states when running with upstart
+* Jinja2 usage in playbooks (not templates), reinstated, supports %include directive
+* support for --connection ssh (supports Kerberos, bastion hosts, etc), requires ControlMaster
+* misc tracebacks replaced with error messages
+* various API/internals refactoring
+* vars can be built from other variables
+* support for exclusion of hosts/groups with "!groupname"
+* various changes to support md5 tool differences for FreeBSD nodes & OS X clients
+* "unparseable" command output shows in command output for easier debugging
+* mktemp is no longer required on remotes (not available on BSD)
+* support for older versions of python-apt in the apt module
+* a new "assemble" module, for constructing files from pieces of files (inspired by Puppet "fragments" idiom)
+* ability to override most default values with ANSIBLE_FOO environment variables
+* --module-path parameter can support multiple directories seperated with the OS path seperator
+* with_items can take a variable of type list
+* ansible_python_interpreter variable available for systems with more than one Python
+* BIOS and VMware "fact" upgrades
+* cowsay is used by ansible-playbook if installed to improve output legibility (try installing it)
+* authorized_key module
+* SELinux facts now sourced from the python selinux library
+* removed module debug option -D
+* added --verbose, which shows output from successful playbook operations
+* print the output of the raw command inside /usr/bin/ansible as with command/shell
+* basic setup module support for Solaris
+* ./library relative to the playbook is always in path so modules can be included in tarballs with playbooks
+
+0.4 "Unchained" ------- May 23, 2012
+
+Internals/Core
+* internal inventory API now more object oriented, parsers decoupled
+* async handling improvements
+* misc fixes for running ansible on OS X (overlord only)
+* sudo improvements, now works much more smoothly
+* sudo to a particular user with -U/--sudo-user, or using 'sudo_user: foo' in a playbook
+* --private-key CLI option to work with pem files
+
+Inventory
+* can use -i host1,host2,host3:port to specify hosts not in inventory (replaces --override-hosts)
+* ansible INI style format can do groups of groups [groupname:children] and group vars [groupname:vars]
+* groups and users module takes an optional system=yes|no on creation (default no)
+* list of hosts in playbooks can be expressed as a YAML list in addition to ; delimited
+
+Playbooks
+* variables can be replaced like ${foo.nested_hash_key.nested_subkey[array_index]}
+* unicode now ok in templates (assumes utf8)
+* able to pass host specifier or group name in to "hosts:" with --extra-vars
+* ansible-pull script and example playbook (extreme scaling, remediation)
+* inventory_hostname variable available that contains the value of the host as ansible knows it
+* variables in the 'all' section can be used to define other variables based on those values
+* 'group_names' is now a variable made available to templates
+* first_available_file feature, see selective_file_sources.yml in examples/playbooks for info
+* --extra-vars="a=2 b=3" etc, now available to inject parameters into playbooks from CLI
+
+Incompatible Changes
+* jinja2 is only usable in templates, not playbooks, use $foo instead
+* --override-hosts removed, can use -i with comma notation (-i "ahost,bhost")
+* modules can no longer include stderr output (paramiko limitation from sudo)

+* tweaks to SELinux implementation for file module
+* fixes for yum module corner cases on EL5
+* file module now correctly returns the mode in octal

+* service module works better on Ubuntu
+* git module now does resets and such to work more smoothly on updates
+* modules all now log to syslog
+* enabled=yes|no on a service can be used to toggle chkconfig & updates-rc.d states
+* git module supports branch=
+* service fixes to better detect status using return codes of the service script
+* custom facts provided by the setup module mean no dependency on Ruby, facter, or ohai
+* service now has a state=reloaded
+* raw module for bootstrapping and talking to routers w/o Python, etc
+
+Misc Bugfixes
+* fixes for variable parsing in only_if lines
+* misc fixes to key=value parsing
+* variables with mixed case now legal
+* fix to internals of hacking/test-module development script

+
+* Packaging for Debian, Gentoo, and Arch
+* Improvements to the apt and yum modules
+* A virt module

+* Ability to use facts from other systems in templates (aka exported
+resources like support)
+* Built in Ansible facts so you don't need ohai, facter, or Ruby
+* tempdir selections that work with noexec mounted /tmp
+* templates happen locally, not remotely, so no dependency on
+python-jinja2 for remote computers
+* advanced inventory format in YAML allows more control over variables
+per host and per group
+* variables in playbooks can be structured/nested versus just a flat namespace
+* manpage upgrades (docs)
+* various bugfixes
+* can specify a default --user for playbooks rather than specifying it
+in the playbook file

+Ansible
+=======
 
-# Ansible
+Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and 
+multinode orchestration framework.   
 
-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/).
+Read the documentation at http://ansible.github.com
 
-## Design Principles
+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.
+   * 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.
 
-## Use Ansible
+Get Involved
+============
 
-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.
+   * [ansible-project mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project)
+   * irc.freenode.net: #ansible
 
-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.
+Branch Info
+===========
 
-## Get Involved
+   * Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
+   * The master branch corresponds to release 0.5 "Amsterdam".
+   * The devel branch corresponds to release 0.6 "Cabo".
+   * All feature work happens on the development branch. 
+   * Major bug fixes will be made to the master branch, but not minor ones.
+   * See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.
 
-* 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)
+Patch Instructions
+==================
 
-## Coding Guidelines
+Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.
 
-We document our Coding Guidelines in the [Developer Guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/). We particularly suggest you review:
+   * Required Process:
+       * Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
+       * Fixes for bugs may be submitted to "ansible/master"
+       * Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
+   * Bonus points:
+       * Joining the mailing list
+       * Fixing bugs instead of sending bug reports.
+       * Using squash merges
+       * Updating the "rst/*" files in the docs project and "docs/" manpage content
+       * Adding more unit tests 
+   * Avoid:
+       * Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
+       * Sending feature pull requests to the 'master' branch instead of the devel branch
+       * Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
 
-* [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
+Author
+======
 
-* 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
+[http://michaeldehaan.net](http://michaeldehaan.net/)
 
-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.

-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.

-- dnf5 - enable now implemented ``cacheonly`` functionality
-- executor now skips persistent connection when it detects an action that does not require a connection.

-- 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).
-
-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
-----------------------------------------
-
-- ActionBase - remove deprecated ``_remote_checksum`` method
-- PlayIterator - remove deprecated ``cache_block_tasks`` and ``get_original_task`` methods
-- Remove deprecated ``FileLock`` class
-- Removed Python 3.9 as a supported version on the controller. Python 3.10 or newer is required.
-- Removed ``include`` which has been deprecated in Ansible 2.12. Use ``include_tasks`` or ``import_tasks`` instead.

-- ``fetch_url`` - remove auto disabling ``decompress`` when gzip is not available
-- ``get_action_args_with_defaults`` - remove deprecated ``redirected_names`` method parameter
-- ansible-test - Removed support for the remote Windows targets 2012 and 2012-R2
-- inventory_cache - remove deprecated ``default.fact_caching_prefix`` ini configuration option, use ``defaults.fact_caching_prefix`` instead.
-- module_utils/basic.py - Removed Python 3.5 as a supported remote version. Python 2.7 or Python 3.6+ is now required.
-- stat - removed unused `get_md5` parameter.
-
-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.

-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).
-      - Properly disable ``jinja2_native`` in the template module when jinja2 override
-        is used in the template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80605)
-      - 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

-        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

-        ``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).

-      - 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.
