-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 in the [Ansible forum][forum].

-
-
-      ⚠
-      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 see
-      [Communicating with the Ansible community][communication] to
-      get in touch and ask questions.

+Ansible Changes By Release
+==========================
+
+0.8 "Cathedral" -- Oct 19, 2012
+
+Highlighted Core Changes:
+
+* fireball mode -- ansible can bootstrap a ephemeral 0mq (zeromq) daemon that runs as a given user and expires after X period of time.  It is very fast.
+* playbooks with errors now return 2 on failure.  1 indicates a more fatal syntax error.  Similar for /usr/bin/ansible
+* server side action code (template, etc) are now fully pluggable
+* ability to write lookup plugins, like the code powering "with_fileglob" (see below)
+
+Other Core Changes:
+
+* ansible config file can also go in '.ansible.cfg' in cwd in addition to ~/.ansible.cfg and /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
+* fix for inventory hosts at API level when hosts spec is a list and not a colon delimited string
+* ansible-pull example now sets up logrotate for the ansible-pull cron job log
+* negative host matching (!hosts) fixed for external inventory script usage
+* internals: os.executable check replaced with utils function so it plays nice on AIX
+* Debian packaging now includes ansible-pull manpage
+* magic variable 'ansible_ssh_host' can override the hostname (great for usage with tunnels)
+* date command usage in build scripts fixed for OS X
+* don't use SSH agent with paramiko if a password is specified
+* make output be cleaner on multi-line command/shell errors
+* /usr/bin/ansible now prints things when tasks are skipped, like when creates= is used with -m command and /usr/bin/ansible
+* when trying to async a module that is not a 'normal' asyncable module, ansible will now let you know
+* ability to access inventory variables via 'hostvars' for hosts not yet included in any play, using on demand lookups
+* merged ansible-plugins, ansible-resources, and ansible-docs into the main project
+* you can set ANSIBLE_NOCOWS=1 if you want to disable cowsay if it is installed.  Though no one should ever want to do this!  Cows are great!
+* you can set ANSIBLE_FORCECOLOR=1 to force color mode even when running without a TTY
+* fatal errors are now properly colored red.
+* skipped messages are now cyan, to differentiate them from unchanged messages.
+* extensive documentation upgrades
+* delegate_action to localhost (aka local_action) will always use the local connection type
+
+Highlighted playbook changes:
+
+* is_set is available for use inside of an only_if expression:  is_set('ansible_eth0').  We intend to further upgrade this with a 'when'
+  keyword providing better options to 'only_if' in the next release.   Also is_unset('ansible_eth0')
+* playbooks can import playbooks in other directories and then be able to import tasks relative to them
+* FILE($path) now allows access of contents of file in a path, very good for use with SSH keys
+* similarly PIPE($command) will run a local command and return the results of executing this command
+* if all hosts in a play fail, stop the playbook, rather than letting the console log spool on by
+* only_if using register variables that are booleans now works in a boolean way like you'd expect
+* task includes now work with with_items (such as: include: path/to/wordpress.yml user=$item)
+* when using a $list variable with $var or ${var} syntax it will automatically join with commas
+* setup is not run more than once when we know it is has already been run in a play that included another play, etc
+* can set/override sudo and sudo_user on individual tasks in a play, defaults to what is set in the play if not present
+* ability to use with_fileglob to iterate over local file patterns
+* templates now use Jinja2's 'trim_blocks=True' to avoid stray newlines, small changes to templates may
+be required in rare cases.
+
+Other playbook changes:
+
+* to_yaml and from_yaml are available as Jinja2 filters
+* $group and $group_names are now accessible in with_items
+* where 'stdout' is provided a new 'stdout_lines' variable (type == list) is now generated and usable with with_items
+* when local_action is used the transport is automatically overridden to the local type
+* output on failed playbook commands is now nicely split for stderr/stdout and syntax errors
+* if local_action is not used and delegate_to was 127.0.0.1 or localhost, use local connection regardless
+* when running a playbook, and the statement has changed, prints 'changed:' now versus 'ok:' so it is obvious without colored mode
+* variables now usable within vars_prompt (just not host/group vars)
+* setup facts are now retained across plays (dictionary just gets updated as needed)
+* --sudo-user now works with --extra-vars
+* fix for multi_line strings with only_if
+
+New Modules:
+
+* ini_file module for manipulating INI files
+* new LSB facts (release, distro, etc)
+* pause module -- (pause seconds=10) (pause minutes=1) (pause prompt=foo) -- it's an action plugin
+* a module for adding entries to the main crontab (though you may still wish to just drop template files into cron.d)
+* debug module can be used for outputing messages without using 'shell echo'
+* a fail module is now available for causing errors, you might want to use it with only_if to fail in certain conditions
+
+Other module Changes, Upgrades, and Fixes:
+
+* removes= exists on command just like creates=
+* postgresql modules now take an optional port= parameter
+* /proc/cmdline info is now available in Linux facts
+* public host key detection for OS X
+* lineinfile module now uses 'search' not exact 'match' in regexes, making it much more intuitive and not needing regex syntax most of the time
+* added force=yes|no (default no) option for file module, which allows transition between files to directories and so on

+* with_items with the apt/yum module will install/remove/update everything in a single command
+
+inventory:
+

+* 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

+
+Internals/Core
+* internal inventory API now more object oriented, parsers decoupled
+* async handling improvements

+* sudo improvements, now works much more smoothly
+* sudo to a particular user with -U/--sudo-user, or using 'sudo_user: foo' in a playbook

+Contributing to Ansible
+=======================
+
+It is required that you read the following information to learn how to contribute to this project.
+
+Branch Info
+===========
+
+Here's how to understand the branches.
+
+   * The devel branch corresponds to the latest ongoing release
+   * Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
+   * All feature work happens on the development branch.
+   * Major bug fixes will be made to the last release branch only
+   * See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.
+
+Patch Instructions
+==================
+
+Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.
+
+   * Required Process:
+       * Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
+       * Fixes for bugs may also be submitted to "ansible/release-X.Y" for the last release
+       * 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 "docsite/" directory and "docs/" manpage content
+       * Adding more unit tests
+   * Avoid:
+       * Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
+       * Sending feature pull requests to the 'release' branch instead of the devel branch
+       * Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
+       * Sending pull requests about more than one feature in the same pull request.
+       * Whitespace restructuring
+       * Large scale refactoring without a discussion on the list
+
+Coding Standards
+================
+
+We're not too strict on style considerations, but we require:
+
+   * python 2.6 compliant code, unless in ansible modules, then python *2.4* compliant code (no 'with', etc)
+   * 4-space indents, no tabs except in Makefiles
+   * under_scores for method names and variables, not camelCase
+   * GPLv3 license headers on all files, with copyright on new files with your name on it
+   * no single-line if statements, deeply nested list comprehensions, or clever use of metaclasses -- keep it simple
+   * comments where appropriate
+
+Contributors License Agreement
+==============================
+
+By contributing you agree that these contributions are your own (or approved by your employer) and you grant a full, complete, irrevocable
+copyright license to all users and developers of the project, present and future, persusant to the license of the project.

+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 and more at http://ansible.cc
 
-## 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
+===========
 
-## Communication
+   * Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
+   * The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
+   * Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
+   * We'd love to have your contributions, read "CONTRIBUTING.md" for process notes.
 
-Join the Ansible forum to ask questions, get help, and interact with the
-community.
+Author
+======
 
-* [Get Help](https://forum.ansible.com/c/help/6): Find help or share your Ansible knowledge to help others.
-  Use tags to filter and subscribe to posts, such as the following:
-  * Posts tagged with [ansible](https://forum.ansible.com/tag/ansible)
-  * Posts tagged with [ansible-core](https://forum.ansible.com/tag/ansible-core)
-  * Posts tagged with [playbook](https://forum.ansible.com/tag/playbook)
-* [Social Spaces](https://forum.ansible.com/c/chat/4): Meet and interact with fellow enthusiasts.
-* [News & Announcements](https://forum.ansible.com/c/news/5): Track project-wide announcements including social events.
-* [Bullhorn newsletter](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/communication.html#the-bullhorn): Get release announcements and important changes.

-## Contribute to Ansible
 
-* Check out the [Contributor's Guide](./.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).
-* Read [Community Information](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community) for all
-  kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project,
-  including how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
-* 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.
-
-## Coding Guidelines
-
-We document our Coding Guidelines in the [Developer Guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/). We particularly suggest you review:
-
-* [Contributing your module to Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_checklist.html)
-* [Conventions, tips, and pitfalls](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html)
-
-## Branch Info
-
-* The `devel` branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
-* The `stable-2.X` branches correspond to stable releases.
-* Create a branch based on `devel` and set up a [dev environment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html#common-environment-setup) if you want to open a PR.
-* See the [Ansible release and maintenance](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html) page for information about active branches.
-
-## Roadmap
-
-Based on team and community feedback, an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (ex: 2.7, 2.8).
-The [Ansible Roadmap page](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/) details what is planned and how to influence the roadmap.

-ansible-core 2.18 "Fool in the Rain" Release Notes
-==================================================
-
-.. contents:: Topics
-
-v2.18.2
-=======
-
-Release Summary
----------------
-
-| Release Date: 2025-01-27
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.18/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.18.html>`__
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Ansible will now also warn when reserved keywords are set via a module (set_fact, include_vars, etc).
-- Ansible.Basic - Fix ``required_if`` check when the option value to check is unset or set to null.
-- Use consistent multiprocessing context for action write locks
-- ansible-test - Fix up coverage reporting to properly translate the temporary path of integration test modules to the expected static test module path.
-- ansible-vault will now correctly handle `--prompt`, previously it would issue an error about stdin if no 2nd argument was passed
-- copy action now prevents user from setting internal options.
-- gather_facts action now defaults to `ansible.legacy.setup` if `smart` was set, no network OS was found and no other alias for `setup` was present.
-- gather_facts action will now issues errors and warnings as appropriate if a network OS is detected but no facts modules are defined for it.
-- ssh - Improve the logic for parsing CLIXML data in stderr when working with Windows host. This fixes issues when the raw stderr contains invalid UTF-8 byte sequences and improves embedded CLIXML sequences.
-- ssh - connection options were incorrectly templated during ``reset_connection`` tasks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/84238).

-
-Release Summary
----------------
-
-| Release Date: 2024-12-02
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.18/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.18.html>`__
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- ansible-test - When detection of the current container network fails, a warning is now issued and execution continues. This simplifies usage in cases where the current container cannot be inspected, such as when running in GitHub Codespaces.
-

---------------
-
-- Templating will not prefer AnsibleUnsafe when a variable is referenced via hostvars - CVE-2024-11079
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Fix returning 'unreachable' for the overall task result. This prevents false positives when a looped task has unignored unreachable items (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84019).
-- ansible-test - Fix traceback that occurs after an interactive command fails.
-- dnf5 - fix installing a package using ``state=latest`` when a binary of the same name as the package is already installed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84259)
-- dnf5 - matching on a binary can be achieved only by specifying a full path (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84334)
-- runas become - Fix up become logic to still get the SYSTEM token with the most privileges when running as SYSTEM.

-| Release Date: 2024-11-04
-| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.18/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.18.html>`__
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- Add ``gid_min``, ``gid_max`` to the group plugin to overwrite the defaults provided by the ``/etc/login.defs`` file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81770).
-- Add ``python3.13`` to the default ``INTERPRETER_PYTHON_FALLBACK`` list.
-- Add ``uid_min``, ``uid_max`` to the user plugin to overwrite the defaults provided by the ``/etc/login.defs`` file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81770).
-- Add a new meta task ``end_role`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22286)
-- Add a new mount_facts module to support gathering information about mounts that are excluded by default fact gathering.
-- Introducing COLOR_INCLUDED parameter. This can set a specific color for "included" events.
-- Removed the shell ``environment`` config entry as this is already covered by the play/task directives documentation and the value itself is not used in the shell plugins. This should remove any confusion around how people set the environment for a task.

-- The minimum supported Python version on targets is now Python 3.8.
-- ``ansible-galaxy collection publish`` - add configuration options for the initial poll interval and the exponential when checking the import status of a collection, since the default is relatively slow.

-- ansible-test - update HTTP test container to 3.2.0 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83469).
-- ansible.log now also shows log severity field
-- distribution.py - Added SL-Micro in Suse OS Family. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83541)

-
-Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
---------------------------------
-
-- Stopped wrapping all commands sent over SSH on a Windows target with a ``powershell.exe`` executable. This results in one less process being started on each command for Windows to improve efficiency, simplify the code, and make ``raw`` an actual raw command run with the default shell configured on the Windows sshd settings. This should have no affect on most tasks except for ``raw`` which now is not guaranteed to always be running in a PowerShell shell and from having the console output codepage set to UTF-8. To avoid this issue either swap to using ``ansible.windows.win_command``, ``ansible.windows.win_shell``, ``ansible.windows.win_powershell`` or manually wrap the raw command with the shell commands needed to set the output console encoding.
-- persistent connection plugins - The ``ANSIBLE_CONNECTION_PATH`` config option no longer has any effect.
-
-Deprecated Features
--------------------
-
-- Deprecate ``ansible.module_utils.basic.AnsibleModule.safe_eval`` and ``ansible.module_utils.common.safe_eval`` as they are no longer used.
-- persistent connection plugins - The ``ANSIBLE_CONNECTION_PATH`` config option no longer has any effect, and will be removed in a future release.
-- yum_repository - deprecate ``async`` option as it has been removed in RHEL 8 and will be removed in ansible-core 2.22.
-- yum_repository - the following options are deprecated: ``deltarpm_metadata_percentage``, ``gpgcakey``, ``http_caching``, ``keepalive``, ``metadata_expire_filter``, ``mirrorlist_expire``, ``protect``, ``ssl_check_cert_permissions``, ``ui_repoid_vars`` as they have no effect for dnf as an underlying package manager. The options will be removed in ansible-core 2.22.
-
-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
-----------------------------------------
-
-- Play - removed deprecated ``ROLE_CACHE`` property in favor of ``role_cache``.
-- Remove deprecated `VariableManager._get_delegated_vars` method (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82950)
-- Removed Python 3.10 as a supported version on the controller. Python 3.11 or newer is required.
-- Removed support for setting the ``vars`` keyword to lists of dictionaries. It is now required to be a single dictionary.
-- loader - remove deprecated non-inclusive words (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82947).
-- paramiko_ssh - removed deprecated ssh_args from the paramiko_ssh connection plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82939).
-- paramiko_ssh - removed deprecated ssh_common_args from the paramiko_ssh connection plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82940).
-- paramiko_ssh - removed deprecated ssh_extra_args from the paramiko_ssh connection plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82941).
-- play_context - remove deprecated PlayContext.verbosity property (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82945).
-- utils/listify - remove deprecated 'loader' argument from listify_lookup_plugin_terms API (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82949).
-
-Security Fixes
---------------
-
-- include_vars action - Ensure that result masking is correctly requested when vault-encrypted files are read. (CVE-2024-8775)
-- task result processing - Ensure that action-sourced result masking (``_ansible_no_log=True``) is preserved. (CVE-2024-8775)
-- user action won't allow ssh-keygen, chown and chmod to run on existing ssh public key file, avoiding traversal on existing symlinks (CVE-2024-9902).
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- -> runas become - Generate new token for the SYSTEM token to use for become. This should result in the full SYSTEM token being used and problems starting the process that fails with ``The process creation has been blocked``.
-- Add a version ceiling constraint for pypsrp to avoid potential breaking changes in the 1.0.0 release.
-- Add descriptions for ``ansible-galaxy install --help` and ``ansible-galaxy role|collection install --help``.
-- Avoid truncating floats when casting into int, as it can lead to truncation and unexpected results. 0.99999 will be 0, not 1.
-- COLOR_SKIP will not alter "included" events color display anymore.
-- Callbacks now correctly get the resolved connection plugin name as the connection used.
-- Darwin - add unit tests for Darwin hardware fact gathering.
-- Errors now preserve stacked error messages even when YAML is involved.
-- Fix ``SemanticVersion.parse()`` to store the version string so that ``__repr__`` reports it instead of ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83831).
-- Fix a traceback when an environment variable contains certain special characters (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83498)
-- Fix an issue when setting a plugin name from an unsafe source resulted in ``ValueError: unmarshallable object`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82708)
-- Fix an issue where registered variable was not available for templating in ``loop_control.label`` on skipped looped tasks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83619)
-- Fix disabling SSL verification when installing collections and roles from git repositories. If ``--ignore-certs`` isn't provided, the value for the ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` configuration option will be used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83326).
-- Fix for ``meta`` tasks breaking host/fork affinity with ``host_pinned`` strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83294)
-- Fix handlers not being executed in lockstep using the linear strategy in some cases (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82307)
-- Fix rapid memory usage growth when notifying handlers using the ``listen`` keyword (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83392)
-- Fix the task attribute ``resolved_action`` to show the FQCN instead of ``None`` when ``action`` or ``local_action`` is used in the playbook.
-- Fix using ``module_defaults`` with ``local_action``/``action`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81905).
-- Fix using the current task's directory for looking up relative paths within roles (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82695).
-- Improve performance on large inventories by reducing the number of implicit meta tasks.
-- Remove deprecated config options DEFAULT_FACT_PATH, DEFAULT_GATHER_SUBSET, and DEFAULT_GATHER_TIMEOUT in favor of setting ``fact_path``, ``gather_subset`` and ``gather_timeout`` as ``module_defaults`` for ``ansible.builtin.setup``.
-  These will apply to both the ``gather_facts`` play keyword, and any ``ansible.builtin.setup`` tasks.
-  To configure these options only for the ``gather_facts`` keyword, set these options as play keywords also.
-- Set LANGUAGE environment variable is set to a non-English locale (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83608).
-- Use the requested error message in the ansible.module_utils.facts.timeout timeout function instead of hardcoding one.
-- ``ansible-galaxy install --help`` - Fix the usage text and document that the requirements file passed to ``-r`` can include collections and roles.
-- ``ansible-galaxy role install`` - update the default timeout to download archive URLs from 20 seconds to 60 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83521).
-- ``end_host`` - fix incorrect return code when executing ``end_host`` in the ``rescue`` section (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83447)
-- ``package``/``dnf`` action plugins - provide the reason behind the failure to gather the ``ansible_pkg_mgr`` fact to identify the package backend
-- addressed issue of trailing text been ignored, non-ASCII characters are parsed, enhance white space handling and fixed overly permissive issue of human_to_bytes filter(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82075)
-- ansible-config will now properly template defaults before dumping them.
-- ansible-doc - fixed "inicates" typo in output
-- ansible-doc - format top-level descriptions with multiple paragraphs as multiple paragraphs, instead of concatenating them (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83155).
-- ansible-doc - handle no_fail condition for role.
-- ansible-doc - make colors configurable.
-- ansible-galaxy collection install - remove old installation info when installing collections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83182).
-- ansible-galaxy role install - fix symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82702, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
-- ansible-test - Enable the ``sys.unraisablehook`` work-around for the ``pylint`` sanity test on Python 3.11. Previously the work-around was only enabled for Python 3.12 and later. However, the same issue has been discovered on Python 3.11.
-- ansible-test - The ``pylint`` sanity test now includes the controller/target context of files when grouping them. This allows the ``--py-version`` option to be passed to ``pylint`` to indicate the minimum supported Python version for each test context, preventing ``pylint`` from defaulting to the Python version used to invoke the test.
-- ansible-test action-plugin-docs - Fix to check for sidecar documentation for action plugins
-- ansible_managed restored it's 'templatability' by ensuring the possible injection routes are cut off earlier in the process.
-- apt - report changed=True when some packages are being removed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46314).
-- apt_* - add more info messages raised while updating apt cache (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77941).
-- assemble - update argument_spec with 'decrypt' option which is required by action plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80840).
-- atomic_move - fix using the setgid bit on the parent directory when creating files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46742, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67177).
-- config, restored the ability to set module compression via a variable
-- connection plugins using the 'extras' option feature would need variables to match the plugin's loaded name, sometimes requiring fqcn, which is not the same as the documented/declared/expected variables. Now we fall back to the 'basename' of the fqcn, but plugin authors can still set the expected value directly.
-- copy - mtime/atime not updated. Fix now update mtime/atime(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83013)
-- csvfile lookup - give an error when no search term is provided using modern config syntax (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83689).
-- debconf - fix normalization of value representation for boolean vtypes in new packages (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83594)
-- debconf - set empty password values (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83214).
-- delay keyword is now a float, matching the underlying 'time' API and user expectations.
-- display - warn user about empty log filepath (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79959).
-- display now does a better job of mapping warnings/errors to the proper log severity when using ansible.log. We still use color as a fallback mapping (now prioritiezed by severity) but mostly rely on it beind directly set by warnning/errors calls.
-- distro package - update the distro package version from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82935)
-- dnf - Ensure that we are handling DownloadError properly in the dnf module
-- dnf - Substitute variables in DNF cache path (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80094).
-- dnf - fix an issue where two packages of the same ``evr`` but different arch failed to install (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83406)
-- dnf - honor installroot for ``cachedir``, ``logdir`` and ``persistdir``
-- dnf - perform variable substitutions in ``logdir`` and ``persistdir``
-- dnf, dnf5 - fix for installing a set of packages by specifying them using a wildcard character (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83373)
-- dnf5 - fix traceback when ``enable_plugins``/``disable_plugins`` is used on ``python3-libdnf5`` versions that do not support this functionality
-- dnf5 - re-introduce the ``state: installed`` alias to ``state: present`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83960)
-- dnf5 - replace removed API calls
-- ensure we have logger before we log when we have increased verbosity.
-- facts - `support_discard` now returns `0` if either `discard_granularity` or `discard_max_hw_bytes` is zero; otherwise it returns the value of `discard_granularity`, as before (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83480).
-- facts - add a generic detection for VMware in product name.
-- facts - add facts about x86_64 flags to detect microarchitecture (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83331).
-- facts - skip if distribution file path is directory, instead of raising error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84006).
-- fetch - add error message when using ``dest`` with a trailing slash that becomes a local directory - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82878
-- file - retrieve the link's full path when hard linking a soft link with follow (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/33911).
-- fixed the issue of creating user directory using tilde(~) always reported "changed".(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82490)
-- fixed unit test test_borken_cowsay to address mock not been properly applied when existing unix system already have cowsay installed.
-- freebsd - refactor dmidecode fact gathering code for simplicity.

-    changes:
-      breaking_changes:
-      - Stopped wrapping all commands sent over SSH on a Windows target with a ``powershell.exe``
-        executable. This results in one less process being started on each command
-        for Windows to improve efficiency, simplify the code, and make ``raw`` an
-        actual raw command run with the default shell configured on the Windows sshd
-        settings. This should have no affect on most tasks except for ``raw`` which
-        now is not guaranteed to always be running in a PowerShell shell and from
-        having the console output codepage set to UTF-8. To avoid this issue either
-        swap to using ``ansible.windows.win_command``, ``ansible.windows.win_shell``,
-        ``ansible.windows.win_powershell`` or manually wrap the raw command with the
-        shell commands needed to set the output console encoding.
-      - persistent connection plugins - The ``ANSIBLE_CONNECTION_PATH`` config option
-        no longer has any effect.
-      bugfixes:
-      - -> runas become - Generate new token for the SYSTEM token to use for become.
-        This should result in the full SYSTEM token being used and problems starting
-        the process that fails with ``The process creation has been blocked``.
-      - Add a version ceiling constraint for pypsrp to avoid potential breaking changes
-        in the 1.0.0 release.
-      - Add descriptions for ``ansible-galaxy install --help` and ``ansible-galaxy
-        role|collection install --help``.
-      - Avoid truncating floats when casting into int, as it can lead to truncation
-        and unexpected results. 0.99999 will be 0, not 1.
-      - COLOR_SKIP will not alter "included" events color display anymore.
-      - Callbacks now correctly get the resolved connection plugin name as the connection
-        used.
-      - Darwin - add unit tests for Darwin hardware fact gathering.
-      - Fix ``SemanticVersion.parse()`` to store the version string so that ``__repr__``
-        reports it instead of ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83831).
-      - Fix a traceback when an environment variable contains certain special characters
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83498)
-      - 'Fix an issue when setting a plugin name from an unsafe source resulted in
-        ``ValueError: unmarshallable object`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82708)'
-      - Fix an issue where registered variable was not available for templating in
-        ``loop_control.label`` on skipped looped tasks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83619)
-      - Fix for ``meta`` tasks breaking host/fork affinity with ``host_pinned`` strategy
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83294)
-      - Fix handlers not being executed in lockstep using the linear strategy in some
-        cases (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82307)
-      - Fix rapid memory usage growth when notifying handlers using the ``listen``
-        keyword (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83392)
-      - Fix the task attribute ``resolved_action`` to show the FQCN instead of ``None``
-        when ``action`` or ``local_action`` is used in the playbook.
-      - Fix using ``module_defaults`` with ``local_action``/``action`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81905).
-      - Fix using the current task's directory for looking up relative paths within
-        roles (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82695).
-      - 'Remove deprecated config options DEFAULT_FACT_PATH, DEFAULT_GATHER_SUBSET,
-        and DEFAULT_GATHER_TIMEOUT in favor of setting ``fact_path``, ``gather_subset``
-        and ``gather_timeout`` as ``module_defaults`` for ``ansible.builtin.setup``.
-
-        These will apply to both the ``gather_facts`` play keyword, and any ``ansible.builtin.setup``
-        tasks.
-
-        To configure these options only for the ``gather_facts`` keyword, set these
-        options as play keywords also.'
-      - Set LANGUAGE environment variable is set to a non-English locale (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83608).
-      - '``ansible-galaxy install --help`` - Fix the usage text and document that
-        the requirements file passed to ``-r`` can include collections and roles.'
-      - '``ansible-galaxy role install`` - update the default timeout to download
-        archive URLs from 20 seconds to 60 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83521).'
-      - '``end_host`` - fix incorrect return code when executing ``end_host`` in the
-        ``rescue`` section (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83447)'
-      - addressed issue of trailing text been ignored, non-ASCII characters are parsed,
-        enhance white space handling and fixed overly permissive issue of human_to_bytes
-        filter(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82075)
-      - ansible-config will now properly template defaults before dumping them.
-      - ansible-doc - fixed "inicates" typo in output
-      - ansible-doc - format top-level descriptions with multiple paragraphs as multiple
-        paragraphs, instead of concatenating them (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83155).
-      - ansible-doc - handle no_fail condition for role.
-      - ansible-doc - make colors configurable.
-      - ansible-galaxy collection install - remove old installation info when installing
-        collections (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83182).
-      - ansible-galaxy role install - fix symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82702,
-        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
-      - ansible-test - The ``pylint`` sanity test now includes the controller/target
-        context of files when grouping them. This allows the ``--py-version`` option
-        to be passed to ``pylint`` to indicate the minimum supported Python version
-        for each test context, preventing ``pylint`` from defaulting to the Python
-        version used to invoke the test.
-      - ansible-test action-plugin-docs - Fix to check for sidecar documentation for
-        action plugins
-      - ansible_managed restored it's 'templatability' by ensuring the possible injection
-        routes are cut off earlier in the process.
-      - apt - report changed=True when some packages are being removed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46314).
-      - apt_* - add more info messages raised while updating apt cache (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77941).
-      - assemble - update argument_spec with 'decrypt' option which is required by
-        action plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80840).
-      - atomic_move - fix using the setgid bit on the parent directory when creating
-        files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46742, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67177).
-      - config, restored the ability to set module compression via a variable
-      - connection plugins using the 'extras' option feature would need variables
-        to match the plugin's loaded name, sometimes requiring fqcn, which is not
-        the same as the documented/declared/expected variables. Now we fall back to
-        the 'basename' of the fqcn, but plugin authors can still set the expected
-        value directly.
-      - copy - mtime/atime not updated. Fix now update mtime/atime(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83013)
-      - csvfile lookup - give an error when no search term is provided using modern
-        config syntax (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83689).
-      - debconf - fix normalization of value representation for boolean vtypes in
-        new packages (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83594)
-      - delay keyword is now a float, matching the underlying 'time' API and user
-        expectations.
-      - display - warn user about empty log filepath (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79959).
-      - display now does a better job of mapping warnings/errors to the proper log
-        severity when using ansible.log. We still use color as a fallback mapping
-        (now prioritiezed by severity) but mostly rely on it beind directly set by
-        warnning/errors calls.
-      - distro package - update the distro package version from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82935)
-      - dnf - Ensure that we are handling DownloadError properly in the dnf module
-      - dnf - Substitute variables in DNF cache path (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80094).
-      - dnf - fix an issue where two packages of the same ``evr`` but different arch
-        failed to install (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83406)
-      - dnf - honor installroot for ``cachedir``, ``logdir`` and ``persistdir``
-      - dnf - perform variable substitutions in ``logdir`` and ``persistdir``
-      - dnf, dnf5 - fix for installing a set of packages by specifying them using
-        a wildcard character (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83373)
-      - 'dnf5 - re-introduce the ``state: installed`` alias to ``state: present``
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83960)'
-      - dnf5 - replace removed API calls
-      - ensure we have logger before we log when we have increased verbosity.
-      - facts - `support_discard` now returns `0` if either `discard_granularity`
-        or `discard_max_hw_bytes` is zero; otherwise it returns the value of `discard_granularity`,
-        as before (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83480).
-      - facts - add a generic detection for VMware in product name.
-      - facts - add facts about x86_64 flags to detect microarchitecture (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83331).
-      - fetch - add error message when using ``dest`` with a trailing slash that becomes
-        a local directory - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82878

-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/33911).
-      - fixed the issue of creating user directory using tilde(~) always reported
-        "changed".(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82490)

-        arguments.
-      - linear strategy now provides a properly templated task name to the v2_runner_on_started
-        callback event.
-      - 'linear strategy: fix handlers included via ``include_tasks`` handler to be

-      bugfixes:
-      - Errors now preserve stacked error messages even when YAML is involved.
-      - Fix disabling SSL verification when installing collections and roles from

-      - Use the requested error message in the ansible.module_utils.facts.timeout
-        timeout function instead of hardcoding one.

-        to gather the ``ansible_pkg_mgr`` fact to identify the package backend'
-      - ansible-test - Enable the ``sys.unraisablehook`` work-around for the ``pylint``
-        sanity test on Python 3.11. Previously the work-around was only enabled for
-        Python 3.12 and later. However, the same issue has been discovered on Python
-        3.11.
-      - debconf - set empty password values (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83214).
-      - dnf5 - fix traceback when ``enable_plugins``/``disable_plugins`` is used on
-        ``python3-libdnf5`` versions that do not support this functionality
-      - facts - skip if distribution file path is directory, instead of raising error
-        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84006).

-      - ansible-test - Default to Python 3.13 in the ``base`` and ``default`` containers.
-      - ansible-test - Disable the ``deprecated-`` prefixed ``pylint`` rules as their
-        results vary by Python version.
-      - ansible-test - Improve container runtime probe error handling. When unexpected
-        probe output is encountered, an error with more useful debugging information
-        is provided.
-      - ansible-test - Update ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 3.3.1.
-      - ansible-test - Update the ``base`` and ``default`` containers.

-  2.18.2rc1:
-    changes:
-      bugfixes:
-      - Ansible will now also warn when reserved keywords are set via a module (set_fact,
-        include_vars, etc).
-      - Ansible.Basic - Fix ``required_if`` check when the option value to check is
-        unset or set to null.
-      - Use consistent multiprocessing context for action write locks
-      - ansible-test - Fix up coverage reporting to properly translate the temporary
-        path of integration test modules to the expected static test module path.
-      - ansible-vault will now correctly handle `--prompt`, previously it would issue
-        an error about stdin if no 2nd argument was passed
-      - copy action now prevents user from setting internal options.
-      - gather_facts action now defaults to `ansible.legacy.setup` if `smart` was
-        set, no network OS was found and no other alias for `setup` was present.
-      - gather_facts action will now issues errors and warnings as appropriate if
-        a network OS is detected but no facts modules are defined for it.
-      - ssh - Improve the logic for parsing CLIXML data in stderr when working with
-        Windows host. This fixes issues when the raw stderr contains invalid UTF-8
-        byte sequences and improves embedded CLIXML sequences.
-      - ssh - connection options were incorrectly templated during ``reset_connection``
-        tasks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/84238).
