 A quick reminder is that list comprehensions in Python 2.4 are not as fully fleshed out, there are no 'dict' comprehensions, and there is no 'with' statement.
 But otherwise it's pretty much all the same.

 # Module Maintainer Guidelines
 
-The Ansible Module Maintainer Guidelines can now be found in the [official Ansible community guide](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/maintainers.html).
+Thank you for being a maintainer of one Ansible's community modules! This guide provides module maintainers an overview of their responsibilities, resources for additional information, and links to helpful tools.
+
+In addition to the information below, module maintainers should be familiar with:
+* General Ansible community development practices (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/community.html)
+* Documentation on module development (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/developing_modules.html)
+* Any namespace-specific module guidelines (identified as GUIDELINES.md in the appropriate file tree).
+
+***
+
+# Maintainer Responsibilities
+
+When you contribute a new module to the [ansible/ansible](https://github.com/ansible/ansible) repository, you become the maintainer for that module once it has been merged. Maintainership empowers you with the authority to accept, reject, or request revisions to pull requests on your module -- but as they say, "with great power comes great responsibility."
+
+Maintainers of Ansible modules are expected to provide feedback, responses, or actions on pull requests or issues to the module(s) they maintain in a reasonably timely manner.
+
+It is also recommended that you occasionally revisit the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md), as they are continually refined. Occasionally, you may be requested to update your module to move it closer to the general accepted standard requirements. We hope for this to be infrequent, and will always be a request with a fair amount of lead time (ie: not by tomorrow!).
+
+Finally, following the [ansible-devel](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-devel) mailing list can be a great way to participate in the broader Ansible community, and a place where you can influence the overall direction, quality, and goals of Ansible and its modules. If you're not on this relatively low-volume list, please join us here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-devel
+
+The Ansible community hopes that you will find that maintaining your module is as rewarding for you as having the module is for the wider community.
+
+***
+
+# Pull Requests, Issues, and Workflow
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+Module pull requests are located in the [main Ansible repository](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pulls).
+
+Because of the high volume of pull requests, notification of PRs to specific modules are routed by an automated bot to the appropriate maintainer for handling. It is recommended that you set an appropriate notification process to receive notifications which mention your GitHub ID.
+
+## Issues
+
+Issues for modules, including bug reports, documentation bug reports, and feature requests, are tracked in the [ansible repository](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues).
+
+ Issues for modules are routed to their maintainers via an automated process. This process is still being refined, and currently depends upon the issue creator to provide adequate details (specifically, providing the proper module name) in order to route it correctly. If you are a maintainer of a specific module, it is recommended that you periodically search module issues for issues which mention your module's name (or some variation on that name), as well as setting an appropriate notification process for receiving notification of mentions of your GitHub ID.
+
+## PR Workflow
+
+Automated routing of pull requests is handled by a tool called [Ansibullbot](https://github.com/ansible/ansibullbot). (You could say that he moooo-ves things around.)
+
+Being moderately familiar with how the workflow behind the bot operates can be helpful to you, and -- should things go awry -- your feedback can be helpful to the folks that continually help Ansibullbot to evolve.
+
+A detailed explanation of the PR workflow can be seen here: https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/PR-FLOW.md
+
+***
+
+# Maintainers list
+
+The full list of maintainers for modules is located here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/.github/BOTMETA.yml
+
+## Changing Maintainership
+
+Communities change over time, and no one maintains a module forever. If you'd like to propose an additional maintainer for your module, please submit a PR to the maintainers file with the Github username of the new maintainer.
+
+If you'd like to step down as a maintainer, please submit a PR to the maintainers file removing your Github ID from the module in question. If that would leave the module with no maintainers, put "ansible" as the maintainer.  This will indicate that the module is temporarily without a maintainer, and the Ansible community team will search for a new maintainer.
+
+***

-=======================================================
-Ansible 2.0 "Over the Hills and Far Away" Release Notes
-=======================================================
-2.0.3 "Over the Hills and Far Away"
------------------------------------
-
--  Backport fix to uri module to return the body of an error response
--  Backport fix to uri module to handle file:/// uris.
--  Backport fix to uri module to fix traceback when handling certain
-   server error types.
-
-2.0.2 "Over the Hills and Far Away"
------------------------------------
-
--  Backport of the 2.1 feature to ensure per-item callbacks are sent as
-   they occur, rather than all at once at the end of the task.
--  Fixed bugs related to the iteration of tasks when certain
-   combinations of roles, blocks, and includes were used, especially
-   when handling errors in rescue/always portions of blocks.
--  Fixed handling of redirects in our helper code, and ported the uri
-   module to use this helper code. This removes the httplib dependency
-   for this module while fixing some bugs related to redirects and SSL
-   certs.
--  Fixed some bugs related to the incorrect creation of extra temp
-   directories for uploading files, which were not cleaned up properly.
--  Improved error reporting in certain situations, to provide more
-   information such as the playbook file/line.
--  Fixed a bug related to the variable precedence of role parameters,
-   especially when a role may be used both as a dependency of a role and
-   directly by itself within the same play.
--  Fixed some bugs in the 2.0 implementation of do/until.
--  Fixed some bugs related to run\_once:
--  Ensure that all hosts are marked as failed if a task marked as
-   run\_once fails.
--  Show a warning when using the free strategy when a run\_once task is
-   encountered, as there is no way for the free strategy to guarantee
-   the task is not run more than once.
--  Fixed a bug where the assemble module was not honoring check mode in
-   some situations.
--  Fixed a bug related to delegate\_to, where we were incorrectly using
-   variables from the inventory host rather than the delegated-to host.
--  The 'package' meta-module now properly squashes items down to a
-   single execution (as the apt/yum/other package modules do).
--  Fixed a bug related to the ansible-galaxy CLI command dealing with
-   paged results from the Galaxy server.
--  Pipelining support is now available for the local and jail connection
-   plugins, which is useful for users who do not wish to have temp
-   files/directories created when running tasks with these connection
-   types.
--  Improvements in support for additional shell types.
--  Improvements in the code which is used to calculate checksums for
-   remote files.
--  Some speed ups and bug fixes related to the variable merging code.
--  Workaround bug in python subprocess on El Capitan that was making
-   vault fail when attempting to encrypt a file
--  Fix lxc\_container module having predictable temp file names and
-   setting file permissions on the temporary file too leniently on a
-   temporary file that was executed as a script. Addresses CVE-2016-3096
--  Fix a bug in the uri module where setting headers via module params
-   that start with ``HEADER_`` were causing a traceback.
--  Fix bug in the free strategy that was causing it to synchronize its
-   workers after every task (making it a lot more like linear than it
-   should have been).
-
-2.0.1 "Over the Hills and Far Away"
------------------------------------
-
--  Fixes a major compatibility break in the synchronize module shipped
-   with 2.0.0.x. That version of synchronize ran sudo on the controller
-   prior to running rsync. In 1.9.x and previous, sudo was run on the
-   host that rsync connected to. 2.0.1 restores the 1.9.x behaviour.
--  Additionally, several other problems with where synchronize chose to
-   run when combined with delegate\_to were fixed. In particular, if a
-   playbook targetted localhost and then delegated\_to a remote host the
-   prior behavior (in 1.9.x and 2.0.0.x) was to copy files between the
-   src and destination directories on the delegated host. This has now
-   been fixed to copy between localhost and the delegated host.
--  Fix a regression where synchronize was unable to deal with unicode
-   paths.
--  Fix a regression where synchronize deals with inventory hosts that
-   use localhost but with an alternate port.
--  Fixes a regression where the retry files feature was not implemented.
--  Fixes a regression where the any\_errors\_fatal option was
-   implemented in 2.0 incorrectly, and also adds a feature where
-   any\_errors\_fatal can be set at the block level.
--  Fix tracebacks when playbooks or ansible itself were located in
-   directories with unicode characters.
--  Fix bug when sending unicode characters to an external pager for
-   display.
--  Fix a bug with squashing loops for special modules (mostly package
-   managers). The optimization was squashing when the loop did not apply
-   to the selection of packages. This has now been fixed.
--  Temp files created when using vault are now "shredded" using the unix
-   shred program which overwrites the file with random data.
--  Some fixes to cloudstack modules for case sensitivity
--  Fix non-newstyle modules (non-python modules and old-style modules)
-   to disabled pipelining.
--  Fix fetch module failing even if fail\_on\_missing is set to False
--  Fix for cornercase when local connections, sudo, and raw were used
-   together.
--  Fix dnf module to remove dependent packages when state=absent is
-   specified. This was a feature of the 1.9.x version that was left out
-   by mistake when the module was rewritten for 2.0.
--  Fix bugs with non-english locales in yum, git, and apt modules
--  Fix a bug with the dnf module where state=latest could only upgrade,
-   not install.
--  Fix to make implicit fact gathering task correctly inherit settings
-   from play, this might cause an error if settings environment on play
-   depending on 'ansible\_env' which was previously ignored
-
-2.0 "Over the Hills and Far Away" - Jan 12, 2016
-------------------------------------------------
-
-Major Changes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Releases are now named after Led Zeppelin songs, 1.9 will be the last
-   Van Halen named release.
--  The new block/rescue/always directives allow for making task blocks
-   and exception-like semantics
--  New strategy plugins (e.g. ``free``) allow control over the flow of
-   task execution per play. The default (``linear``) will be the same as
-   before.
--  Improved error handling, with more detailed parser messages. General
-   exception handling and display has been revamped.
--  Task includes are now evaluated during execution, allowing more
-   dynamic includes and options. Play includes are unchanged both still
-   use the ``include`` directive.
--  "with\_" loops can now be used with task includes since they are
-   dynamic.
--  Callback, connection, cache and lookup plugin APIs have changed.
-   Existing plugins might require modification to work with the new
-   versions.
--  Callbacks are now shipped in the active directory and don't need to
-   be copied, just whitelisted in ansible.cfg.
--  Many API changes. Those integrating directly with Ansible's API will
-   encounter breaking changes, but the new API is much easier to use and
-   test.
--  Settings are now more inheritable; what you set at play, block or
-   role will be automatically inherited by the contained tasks. This
-   allows for new features to automatically be settable at all levels,
-   previously we had to manually code this.
--  Vars are now settable at play, block, role and task level with the
-   ``vars`` directive and scoped to the tasks contained.
--  Template code now retains types for bools and numbers instead of
-   turning them into strings. If you need the old behaviour, quote the
-   value and it will get passed around as a string
--  Empty variables and variables set to null in yaml will no longer be
-   converted to empty strings. They will retain the value of ``None``.
-   To go back to the old behaviour, you can override the
-   ``null_representation`` setting to an empty string in your config
-   file or by setting the ``ANSIBLE_NULL_REPRESENTATION`` environment
-   variable.
--  Added ``meta: refresh_inventory`` to force rereading the inventory in
-   a play. This re-executes inventory scripts, but does not force them
-   to ignore any cache they might use.
--  New delegate\_facts directive, a boolean that allows you to apply
-   facts to the delegated host (true/yes) instead of the
-   inventory\_hostname (no/false) which is the default and previous
-   behaviour.
--  local connections now work with 'su' as a privilege escalation method
--  Ansible 2.0 has deprecated the "ssh" from ansible\_ssh\_user,
-   ansible\_ssh\_host, and ansible\_ssh\_port to become ansible\_user,
-   ansible\_host, and ansible\_port.
--  New ssh configuration variables (``ansible_ssh_common_args``,
-   ``ansible_ssh_extra_args``) can be used to configure a per-group or
-   per-host ssh ProxyCommand or set any other ssh options.
-   ``ansible_ssh_extra_args`` is used to set options that are accepted
-   only by ssh (not sftp or scp, which have their own analogous
-   settings).
--  ansible-pull can now verify the code it runs when using git as a
-   source repository, using git's code signing and verification
-   features.
--  Backslashes used when specifying parameters in jinja2 expressions in
-   YAML dicts sometimes needed to be escaped twice. This has been fixed
-   so that escaping once works. Here's an example of how playbooks need
-   to be modified:
-
-   .. code:: yaml
-
-       # Syntax in 1.9.x
-       - debug:
-           msg: "{{ 'test1_junk 1\\\\3' | regex_replace('(.*)_junk (.*)', '\\\\1 \\\\2') }}"
-       # Syntax in 2.0.x
-       - debug:
-           msg: "{{ 'test1_junk 1\\3' | regex_replace('(.*)_junk (.*)', '\\1 \\2') }}"
-
-       # Output:
-       "msg": "test1 1\\3"
-
--  When a string with a trailing newline was specified in the playbook
-   via yaml dict format, the trailing newline was stripped. When
-   specified in key=value format the trailing newlines were kept. In v2,
-   both methods of specifying the string will keep the trailing
-   newlines. If you relied on the trailing newline being stripped you
-   can change your playbook like this:
-
-   .. code:: yaml
-
-       # Syntax in 1.9.2
-       vars:
-         message: >
-           Testing
-           some things
-       tasks:
-       - debug:
-           msg: "{{ message }}"
-
-       # Syntax in 2.0.x
-       vars:
-         old_message: >
-           Testing
-           some things
-         message: "{{ old_messsage[:-1] }}"
-       - debug:
-           msg: "{{ message }}"
-       # Output
-       "msg": "Testing some things"
-
--  In 1.9.x, newlines in templates were converted to Unix EOL
-   conventions. If someone wanted a templated file to end up with
-   Windows or Mac EOL conventions, this could cause problems for them.
-   In 2.x newlines now remain as specified in the template file.
-
--  When specifying complex args as a variable, the variable must use the
-   full jinja2 variable syntax ('{{var\_name}}') - bare variable names
-   there are no longer accepted. In fact, even specifying args with
-   variables has been deprecated, and will not be allowed in future
-   versions:
-
-   .. code:: yaml
-
-       ---
-       - hosts: localhost
-         connection: local
-         gather_facts: false
-         vars:
-           my_dirs:
-             - { path: /tmp/3a, state: directory, mode: 0755 }
-             - { path: /tmp/3b, state: directory, mode: 0700 }
-         tasks:
-           - file:
-             args: "{{item}}"
-             with_items: my_dirs
-
--  The bigip\* networking modules have a new parameter, validate\_certs.
-   When True (the default) the module will validate any hosts it
-   connects to against the TLS certificates it presents when run on new
-   enough python versions. If the python version is too old to validate
-   certificates or you used certificates that cannot be validated
-   against available CAs you will need to add validate\_certs=no to your
-   playbook for those tasks.
-
-Plugins
-~~~~~~~
-
--  Rewritten dnf module that should be faster and less prone to
-   encountering bugs in cornercases
--  WinRM connection plugin passes all vars named ``ansible_winrm_*`` to
-   the underlying pywinrm client. This allows, for instance,
-   ``ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore`` to be used with newer
-   versions of pywinrm to disable certificate validation on Python
-   2.7.9+.
--  WinRM connection plugin put\_file is significantly faster and no
-   longer has file size limitations.

-
--  logentries: plugin to send play data to logentries service
--  skippy: same as default but does not display skip messages
-
-Minor changes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Many more tests. The new API makes things more testable and we took
-   advantage of it.
--  big\_ip modules now support turning off ssl certificate validation
-   (use only for self-signed certificates).
--  Consolidated code from modules using urllib2 to normalize features,
-   TLS and SNI support.
--  synchronize module's dest\_port parameter now takes precedence over
-   the ansible\_ssh\_port inventory setting.
--  Play output is now dynamically sized to terminal with a minimum of 80
-   coluumns (old default).
--  vars\_prompt and pause are now skipped with a warning if the play is
-   called noninteractively (i.e. pull from cron).
--  Support for OpenBSD's 'doas' privilege escalation method.
--  Most vault operations can now be done over multilple files.
--  ansible-vault encrypt/decrypt read from stdin if no other input file
-   is given, and can write to a given ``--output file`` (including
-   stdout, '-'). This lets you avoid ever writing sensitive plaintext to
-   disk.
--  ansible-vault rekey accepts the --new-vault-password-file option.
--  ansible-vault now preserves file permissions on edit and rekey and
-   defaults to restrictive permissions for other options.
--  Configuration items defined as paths (local only) now all support
-   shell style interpolations.
--  Many fixes and new options added to modules, too many to list here.
--  Now you can see task file and line number when using verbosity of 3
-   or above.
--  The ``[x-y]`` host range syntax is no longer supported. Note that
-   ``[0:1]`` matches two hosts, i.e. the range is inclusive of its
-   endpoints.
--  We now recommend the use of ``pattern1,pattern2`` to combine host
-   matching patterns.
--  The use of ':' as a separator conflicts with IPv6 addresses and host
-   ranges. It will be deprecated in the future.
--  The undocumented use of ';' as a separator is now deprecated.
--  modules and callbacks have been extended to support no\_log to avoid
-   data disclosure.
--  new managed\_syslog option has been added to control output to syslog
-   on managed machines, no\_log supersedes this settings.
--  Lookup, vars and action plugin pathing has been normalized, all now
-   follow the same sequence to find relative files.
--  We do not ignore the explicitly set login user for ssh when it
-   matches the 'current user' anymore, this allows overriding
-   .ssh/config when it is set explicitly. Leaving it unset will still
-   use the same user and respect .ssh/config. This also means
-   ansible\_ssh\_user can now return a None value.
--  environment variables passed to remote shells now default to
-   'controller' settings, with fallback to en\_US.UTF8 which was the
-   previous default.
--  add\_hosts is much stricter about host name and will prevent invalid
-   names from being added.
--  ansible-pull now defaults to doing shallow checkouts with git, use
-   ``--full`` to return to previous behaviour.
--  random cows are more random
--  when: now gets the registered var after the first iteration, making
-   it possible to break out of item loops
--  Handling of undefined variables has changed. In most places they will
-   now raise an error instead of silently injecting an empty string. Use
-   the default filter if you want to approximate the old behaviour:
-
-   ::
-
-       - debug: msg="The error message was: {{error_code |default('') }}"
-
--  The yum module's detection of installed packages has been made more
-   robust by using /usr/bin/rpm in cases where it woud have used
-   repoquery before.
--  The pip module now properly reports changes when packages are coming
-   from a VCS.
--  Fixes for retrieving files over https when a CONNECT-only proxy is in
-   the middle.

-=====================================================
-Ansible 2.1 "The Song Remains the Same" Release Notes
-=====================================================
-2.1.6 "The Song Remains the Same" - 06-01-2017
-----------------------------------------------
-
--  Security fix for CVE-2017-7481 - data for lookup plugins used as
-   variables was not being correctly marked as "unsafe".
-
-2.1.5 "The Song Remains the Same" - 03-27-2017
-----------------------------------------------
-
--  Security continued fix for CVE-2016-9587 - Handle some additional
-   corner cases in the way conditionals are parsed and evaluated.
-
-2.1.4 "The Song Remains the Same" - 2017-01-16
-----------------------------------------------
-
--  Security fix for CVE-2016-9587 - An attacker with control over a
-   client system being managed by Ansible and the ability to send facts
-   back to the Ansible server could use this flaw to execute arbitrary
-   code on the Ansible server as the user and group Ansible is running
-   as.
--  Fixed a bug with conditionals in loops, where undefined variables and
-   other errors will defer raising the error until the conditional has
-   been evaluated.
--  Added a version check for jinja2-2.9, which does not fully work with
-   Ansible currently.
-
-2.1.3 "The Song Remains the Same" - 2016-11-04
-----------------------------------------------
-
--  Security fix for CVE-2016-8628 - Command injection by compromised
-   server via fact variables. In some situations, facts returned by
-   modules could overwrite connection-based facts or some other special
-   variables, leading to injected commands running on the Ansible
-   controller as the user running Ansible (or via escalated
-   permissions).
--  Security fix for CVE-2016-8614 - apt\_key module not properly
-   validating keys in some situations.
-
-Minor Changes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  The subversion module from core now marks its password parameter as
-   no\_log so the password is obscured when logging.
--  The postgresql\_lang and postgresql\_ext modules from extras now mark
-   login\_password as no\_log so the password is obscured when logging.
--  Fixed several bugs related to locating files relative to
-   role/playbook directories.
--  Fixed a bug in the way hosts were tested for failed states, resulting
-   in incorrectly skipped block sessions.
--  Fixed a bug in the way our custom JSON encoder is used for the
-   ``to_json*`` filters.
--  Fixed some bugs related to the use of non-ascii characters in become
-   passwords.
--  Fixed a bug with Azure modules which may be using the latest rc6
-   library.
--  Backported some docker\_common fixes.
-
-2.1.2 "The Song Remains the Same" - 2016-09-29
-----------------------------------------------
-
-Minor Changes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Fixed a bug related to creation of retry files (#17456)
--  Fixed a bug in the way include params are used when an include task
-   is dynamic (#17064)
--  Fixed a bug related to including blocks in an include task (#15963)
--  Fixed a bug related to the use of hostvars internally when creating
-   the connection plugin. This prevents things like variables using
-   lookups from being evaluated unnecessarily (#17024)
--  Fixed a bug where using a variable containing a list for the
-   ``hosts`` of a play resulted in an list of lists (#16583)
--  Fixed a bug where integer values would cause an error if a module
-   param was of type ``float`` (no issue)
--  Fixed a bug with net\_template failing if src was not specified
-   (#17726)
--  Fixed a bug in "ansible-galaxy import" (#17417)
--  Fixed a bug in which INI files incorrectly treated a hosts range as a
-   section header (#15331)
--  Fixed a bug in which the max\_fail\_percentage calculation
-   erroneously caused a series of plays to stop executing (#15954)
--  Fixed a bug in which the task names were not properly templated
-   (#16295)
--  Fixed a bug causing "squashed" loops (ie. yum, apt) to incorrectly
-   report results (ansible-modules-core#4214)
--  Fixed several bugs related to includes:
--  when including statically, make sure that all parents were also
-   included statically (issue #16990)
--  properly resolve nested static include paths
--  print a message when a file is statically included
--  Fixed a bug in which module params expected to be float types were
-   not converted from integers (only strings) (#17325)
--  Fixed a bug introduced by static includes in 2.1, which prevented
-   notifications from going to the "top level" handler name.
--  Fixed a bug where a group\_vars or host\_vars directory in the
-   current working directory would be used (and would take precedence)
-   over those in the inventory and/or playbook directory.
--  Fixed a bug which could occur when the result of an async task did
-   not parse as valid JSON.
--  (re)-allowed the use of ansible\_python\_interpreter lines with more
-   than one argument.
--  Fixed several bugs related to the creation of the implicit localhost
-   in inventory.
--  Fixed a bug related to an unspecified number of retries when using
-   until.
--  Fixed a race-condition bug when creating temp directories before the
-   worker process is forked.
--  Fix a bug with async's poll keyword not making use of
-   ansible\_python\_interpreter to run (and thus breaking when
-   /usr/bin/python is not present on the remote machine.)
--  Fix a bug where hosts that started with a range in inventory were
-   being treated as an invalid section header.
-

-
-Deprecations
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Deprecated the use of ``_fixup_perms``. Use ``_fixup_perms2``
-   instead. This change only impacts custom action plugins using
-   ``_fixup_perms``.
-
-Incompatible Changes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Use of ``_fixup_perms`` with ``recursive=True`` (the default) is no
-   longer supported. Custom action plugins using ``_fixup_perms`` will
-   require changes unless they already use ``recursive=False``. Use
-   ``_fixup_perms2`` if support for previous releases is not required.
-   Otherwise use ``_fixup_perms`` with ``recursive=False``.
-
-2.1 "The Song Remains the Same"
--------------------------------
-
-Major Changes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Official support for the networking modules, originally available in
-   2.0 as a tech preview.
--  Refactored and expanded support for Docker with new modules and many
-   improvements to existing modules, as well as a new Kubernetes module.
--  Added new modules for Azure (see below for the full list)
--  Added the ability to specify includes as "static" (either through a
-   configuration option or on a per-include basis). When includes are
-   static, they are loaded at compile time and cannot contain dynamic
-   features like loops.
--  Added a new strategy ``debug``, which allows per-task debugging of
-   playbooks, for more details see
-   https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks\_debugger.html
--  Added a new option for tasks: ``loop_control``. This currently only
-   supports one option - ``loop_var``, which allows a different loop
-   variable from ``item`` to be used.
--  Added the ability to filter facts returned by the fact gathering
-   setup step using the ``gather_subset`` option on the play or in the
-   ansible.cfg configuration file. See
-   http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro\_configuration.html#gathering
-   for details on the format of the option.
--  Added the ability to send per-item callbacks, rather than a batch
-   update (this more closely resembles the behavior of Ansible 1.x).
--  Added facility for modules to send back 'diff' for display when
-   ansible is called with --diff, updated several modules to return this
-   info
--  Added ansible-console tool, a REPL shell that allows running adhoc
-   tasks against a chosen inventory (based on
-   https://github.com/dominis/ansible-shell)
--  Added two new variables, which are set when the ``rescue`` portion of
-   a ``block`` is started:
--  ``ansible_failed_task``, which contains the serialized version of the
-   failed task.
--  ``ansible_failed_result``, which contains the result of the failed
-   task.
--  New meta action, ``meta: clear_host_errors`` which will clear any
-   hosts which were marked as failed (but not unreachable hosts).
--  New meta action, ``meta: clear_facts`` which will remove existing
-   facts for the current host from current memory and facts cache.
--  copy module can now transparently use a vaulted file as source, if
-   vault passwords were provided it will decrypt and copy on the fly.
--  The way new-style python modules (which include all of the
-   non-windows modules shipped with Ansible) are assembled before
-   execution on the remote machine has been changed. The new way stays
-   closer to how python imports modules which will make it easier to
-   write modules which rely heavily on shared code.
--  Reduce the situations in which a module can end up as world readable.
-   For details, see:
-   https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/become.html#becoming-an-unprivileged-user
--  Re-implemented the retry file feature, which had been left out of 2.0
-   (fix was backported to 2.0.1 originally).
--  Improved winrm argument validation and feature sniffing (for upcoming
-   pywinrm NTLM support).
--  Improved winrm error handling: basic parsing of stderr from CLIXML
-   stream.

-Minor Changes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Added support for pipelining mode to more connection plugins, which
-   helps prevent module data from being written to disk.
--  Added a new '!unsafe' YAML decorator, which can be used in playbooks
-   to ensure a string is not templated. For example:
-   ``foo: !unsafe "Don't template {{me}}"``.
--  Callbacks now have access to the options with which the CLI was
-   called
--  Debug now has verbosity option to control when to display by matching
-   number of -v in command line
--  Modules now get verbosity, diff and other flags as passed to ansible
--  Mount facts now also show 'network mounts' that use the pattern
-   ``<host>:/<mount>``
--  Plugins are now sorted before loading. This means, for instance, if
-   you want two custom callback plugins to run in a certain order you
-   can name them 10-first-callback.py and 20-second-callback.py.
--  Added (alpha) Centirfy's dzdo as another become meethod (privilege
-   escalation)
-
-Deprecations:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Deprecated the use of "bare" variables in loops (ie.
-   ``with_items: foo``, where ``foo`` is a variable). The full jinja2
-   variable syntax of ``{{foo}}`` should always be used instead. This
-   warning will be removed completely in 2.3, after which time it will
-   be an error.
--  play\_hosts magic variable, use ansible\_play\_batch or
-   ansible\_play\_hosts instead.

-2.2.1 "The Battle of Evermore" - 01-16-2017
--------------------------------------------
-
-Major Changes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Security fix for CVE-2016-9587 - An attacker with control over a
-   client system being managed by Ansible and the ability to send facts
-   back to the Ansible server could use this flaw to execute arbitrary
-   code on the Ansible server as the user and group Ansible is running
-   as.
-
-Minor Changes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Fixes a bug where undefined variables in with\_\* loops would cause a
-   task failure even if the when condition would cause the task to be
-   skipped.
--  Fixed a bug related to roles where in certain situations a role may
-   be run more than once despite not allowing duplicates.
--  Fixed some additional bugs related to atomic\_move for modules.
--  Fixes multiple bugs related to field/attribute inheritance in nested
-   blocks and includes, as well as task iteration logic during failures.
--  Fixed pip installing packages into virtualenvs using the system pip
-   instead of the virtualenv pip.
--  Fixed dnf on systems with dnf-2.0.x (some changes in the API).
--  Fixed traceback with dnf install of groups.
--  Fixes a bug in which include\_vars was not working with failed\_when.
--  Fix for include\_vars only loading files with .yml, .yaml, and .json
-   extensions. This was only supposed to apply to loading a directory of
-   vars files.
--  Fixes several bugs related to properly incrementing the failed count
-   in the host statistics.
--  Fixes a bug with listening handlers which did not specify a ``name``
-   field.
--  Fixes a bug with the ``play_hosts`` internal variable, so that it
-   properly reflects the current list of hosts.
--  Fixes a bug related to the v2\_playbook\_on\_start callback method
-   and legacy (v1) plugins.
--  Fixes an openssh related process exit race condition, related to the
-   fact that connections using ControlPersist do not close stderr.
--  Improvements and fixes to OpenBSD fact gathering.
--  Updated ``make deb`` to use pbuilder. Use ``make local_deb`` for the
-   previous non-pbuilder build.
--  Fixed Windows async to avoid blocking due to handle inheritance.
--  Fixed bugs in the mount module on older Linux kernels and \*BSDs
--  Fix regression in jinja2 include search path.
--  Various minor fixes for Python 3
--  Inserted some checks for jinja2-2.9, which can cause some issues with
-   Ansible currently.
-
-2.2 "The Battle of Evermore" - 11-01-2016
------------------------------------------
-
-Major Changes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Security fix for CVE-2016-8628 - Command injection by compromised
-   server via fact variables. In some situations, facts returned by
-   modules could overwrite connection-based facts or some other special
-   variables, leading to injected commands running on the Ansible
-   controller as the user running Ansible (or via escalated
-   permissions).
--  Security fix for CVE-2016-8614 - apt\_key module not properly
-   validating keys in some situations.
--  Added the ``listen`` feature for modules. This feature allows tasks
-   to more easily notify multiple handlers, as well as making it easier
-   for handlers from decoupled roles to be notified.
--  Major performance improvements.
--  Added support for binary modules
--  Added the ability to specify serial batches as a list
-   (``serial: [1, 5, 10]``), which allows for so-called "canary" actions
-   in one play.
--  Fixed 'local type' plugins and actions to have a more predictable
-   relative path. Fixes a regression of 1.9 (PR #16805). Existing users
-   of 2.x will need to adjust related tasks.
--  ``meta`` tasks can now use conditionals.
--  ``raw`` now returns ``changed: true`` to be consistent with
-   shell/command/script modules. Add ``changed_when: false`` to ``raw``
-   tasks to restore the pre-2.2 behavior if necessary.
--  New privilege escalation become method ``ksu``
--  Windows ``async:`` support for long-running or background tasks.
--  Windows ``environment:`` support for setting module environment vars
-   in play/task.
--  Added a new ``meta`` option: ``end_play``, which can be used to skip
-   to the end of a play.
--  roles can now be included in the middle of a task list via the new
-   ``include_role`` module, this also allows for making the role import
-   'loopable' and/or conditional.
--  The service module has been changed to use system specific modules if
-   they exist and fall back to the old service module if they cannot be
-   found or detected.
--  Add ability to specify what ssh client binary to use on the
-   controller. This can be configured via ssh\_executable in the ansible
-   config file or by setting ansible\_ssh\_executable as an inventory
-   variable if different ones are needed for different hosts.
--  Windows:
--  several facts were modified or renamed for consistency with their
-   Unix counterparts, and many new facts were added. If your playbooks
-   rely on any of the following keys, please ensure they are using the
-   correct key names and/or values:
-
-   -  ansible\_date\_time.date (changed to use yyyy-mm-dd format instead
-      of default system-locale format)
-   -  ansible\_date\_time.iso8601 (changed to UTC instead of local time)
-   -  ansible\_distribution (now uses OS caption string, e.g.:
-      "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard", version is still
-      available on ansible\_distribution\_version)
-   -  ansible\_totalmem (renamed to ansible\_memtotal\_mb, units changed
-      to MB instead of bytes)
-
--  ``async:`` support for long-running or background tasks.
--  ``environment:`` support for setting module environment vars in
-   play/task.
--  Tech Preview: Work has been done to get Ansible running under
-   Python3. This work is not complete enough to depend upon in
-   production environments but it is enough to begin testing it.
--  Most of the controller side should now work. Users should be able to
-   run python3 /usr/bin/ansible and python3 /usr/bin/ansible-playbook
-   and have core features of ansible work.
--  A few of the most essential modules have been audited and are known
-   to work. Others work out of the box.
--  We are using unit and integration tests to help us port code and not
-   regress later. Even if you are not familiar with python you can still
-   help by contributing integration tests (just ansible roles) that
-   exercise more of the code to make sure it continues to run on both
-   Python2 and Python3.
--  scp\_if\_ssh now supports True, False and "smart". "smart" is the
-   default and will retry failed sftp transfers with scp.
--  Network:
--  Refactored all network modules to remove duplicate code and take
-   advantage of Ansiballz implementation
--  All functionality from \*\_template network modules have been
-   combined into \*\_config module
--  Network \*\_command modules not longer allow configuration mode
-   statements

-New Callbacks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
--  foreman
-
-Minor Changes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  now -vvv shows exact path from which 'currently executing module' was
-   picked up from.
--  loop\_control now has a label option to allow fine grained control
-   what gets displayed per item
--  loop\_control now has a pause option to allow pausing for N seconds
-   between loop iterations of a task.
--  New privilege escalation become method ``ksu``
--  ``raw`` now returns ``changed: true`` to be consistent with
-   shell/command/script modules. Add ``changed_when: false`` to ``raw``
-   tasks to restore the pre-2.2 behavior if necessary.
--  removed previously deprecated ';' as host list separator.
--  Only check if the default ssh client supports ControlPersist once
-   instead of once for each host + task combination.
--  Fix a problem with the pip module updating the python pip package
-   itself.
--  ansible\_play\_hosts is a new magic variable to provide a list of
-   hosts in scope for the current play. Unlike play\_hosts it is not
-   subject to the 'serial' keyword.
--  ansible\_play\_batch is a new magic variable meant to substitute the
-   current play\_hosts.
--  The subversion module from core now marks its password parameter as
-   no\_log so the password is obscured when logging.
--  The postgresql\_lang and postgresql\_ext modules from extras now mark
-   login\_password as no\_log so the password is obscured when logging.
--  Fix for yum module incorrectly thinking it succeeded in installing
-   packages
--  Make the default ansible\_managed template string into a static
-   string since all of the replacable values lead to non-idempotent
-   behaviour.
-
-For custom front ends using the API:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  ansible.parsing.vault:
--  VaultLib.is\_encrypted() has been deprecated. It will be removed in
-   2.4. Use ansible.parsing.vault.is\_encrypted() instead
--  VaultFile has been removed. This unfinished code was never used
-   inside of Ansible. The feature it was intended to support has now
-   been implemented without using this.
--  VaultAES, the older, insecure encrypted format that debuted in
-   Ansible-1.5 and was replaced by VaultAES256 less than a week later,
-   now has a deprecation warning. **It will be removed in 2.3**. In the
-   unlikely event that you wrote a vault file in that 1 week window and
-   have never modified the file since (ansible-vault automatically
-   re-encrypts the file using VaultAES256 whenever it is written to but
-   not read), run ``ansible-vault rekey [filename]`` to move to
-   VaultAES256.
-
-Removed Deprecated
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  ';' as host list separator.
--  with\_ 'bare variable' handling, now loop items must always be
-   templated ``{{ }}`` or they will be considered as plain strings.
--  skipping task on 'missing attribute' in loop variable, now in a loop
-   an undefined attribute will return an error instead of skipping the
-   task.
--  skipping on undefined variables in loop, now loops will have to
-   define a variable or use ``|default`` to avoid errors.
-
-Deprecations
-~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Notice given that the following will be removed in Ansible 2.4: \*
-Modules \* eos\_template \* ios\_template \* iosxr\_template \*
-junos\_template \* nxos\_template \* ops\_template

-Moving to Ansible 2.3 guide
-http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/porting\_guide\_2.3.html
-
-Major Changes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Documented and renamed the previously released 'single var vaulting'
-   feature, allowing user to use vault encryption for single variables
-   in a normal YAML vars file.
--  Allow module\_utils for custom modules to be placed in site-specific
-   directories and shipped in roles
--  On platforms that support it, use more modern system polling API
-   instead of select in the ssh connection plugin. This removes one
-   limitation on how many parallel forks are feasible on these systems.
--  Windows/WinRM supports (experimental) become method "runas" to run
-   modules and scripts as a different user, and to transparently access
-   network resources.
--  The WinRM connection plugin now uses pipelining when executing
-   modules, resulting in significantly faster execution for small tasks.
--  The WinRM connection plugin can now manage Kerberos tickets
-   automatically when ``ansible_winrm_transport=kerberos`` and
-   ``ansible_user``/``ansible_password`` are specified.
--  Refactored/standardized most Windows modules, adding check-mode and
-   diff support where possible.
--  Extended Windows module API with parameter-type support, helper
-   functions. (i.e. Expand-Environment, Add-Warning,
-   Add-DeprecatationWarning)
--  restructured how async works to allow it to apply to action plugins
-   that choose to support it.
-
-Minor Changes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  The version and release facts for OpenBSD hosts were reversed. This
-   has been changed so that version has the numeric portion and release
-   has the name of the release.
--  removed 'package' from default squash actions as not all package
-   managers support it and it creates errors when using loops, any user
-   can add back via config options if they don't use those package
-   managers or otherwise avoid the errors.
--  Blocks can now have a ``name`` field, to aid in playbook readability.
--  default strategy is now configurable via ansible.cfg or environment
-   variable.
--  Added 'ansible\_playbook\_python' which contains 'current python
-   executable', it can be blank in some cases in which Ansible is not
-   invoked via the standard CLI (sys.executable limitation).
--  Added 'metadata' to modules to enable classification
--  ansible-doc now displays path to module and existing 'metadata'
--  added optional 'piped' transfer method to ssh plugin for when scp and
-   sftp are missing, ssh plugin is also now 'smarter' when using these
-   options
--  default controlpersist path is now a custom hash of host-port-user to
-   avoid the socket path length errors for long hostnames
--  Various fixes for Python3 compatibility
--  Fixed issues with inventory formats not handling 'all' and
-   'ungrouped' in an uniform way.
--  'service' tasks can now use async again, we had lost this capability
-   when changed into an action plugin.
--  made any\_errors\_fatal inheritable from play to task and all other
-   objects in between.
--  many small performance improvements in inventory and variable
-   handling and in task execution.
--  Added a retry class to the ec2\_asg module since customers were
-   running into throttling errors (AWSRetry is a solution for modules
-   using boto3 which isn't applicable here).
-
-Deprecations
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  Specifying --tags (or --skip-tags) multiple times on the command line
-   currently leads to the last one overriding all the previous ones.
-   This behaviour is deprecated. In the future, if you specify --tags
-   multiple times the tags will be merged together. From now on, using
-   --tags multiple times on one command line will emit a deprecation
-   warning. Setting the merge\_multiple\_cli\_tags option to True in the
-   ansible.cfg file will enable the new behaviour. In 2.4, the default
-   will be to merge and you can enable the old overwriting behaviour via
-   the config option. In 2.5, multiple --tags options will be merged
-   with no way to go back to the old behaviour.
-
--  Modules (scheduled for removal in 2.5)
--  ec2\_vpc
--  cl\_bond
--  cl\_bridge
--  cl\_img\_install
--  cl\_interface
--  cl\_interface\_policy
--  cl\_license
--  cl\_ports

-
-New: Callbacks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
--  dense: minimal stdout output with fallback to default when verbose
-
-New: lookups
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
--  keyring: allows getting password from the 'controller' system's
-   keyrings
-
-New: cache
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
--  pickle (uses python's own serializer)
--  yaml
-
-New: inventory scripts

-
-Module Notes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
--  AWS lambda: previously ignored changes that only affected one
-   parameter. Existing deployments may have outstanding changes that
-   this bugfix will apply.
--  oVirt/RHV: Added support for 4.1 features and the following:
--  data centers, clusters, hosts, storage domains and networks
-   management.
--  hosts and virtual machines affinity groups and labels.
--  users, groups and permissions management.
--  Improved virtual machines and disks management.
--  Mount: Some fixes so bind mounts are not mounted each time the
-   playbook runs.

-v2.5.0
-======
-
-Major Changes
--------------
-
-- Ansible Network improvements
-  
-  * Created new connection plugins ``network_cli`` and ``netconf`` to replace ``connection=local``. ``connection=local`` will continue to work for a number of Ansible releases.
-  * No more ``unable to open shell``. A clear and descriptive message will be displayed in normal ansible-playbook output without needing to enable debug mode
-  * Loads of documentation, see `Ansible for Network Automation Documentation <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/network/>`_.
-  * Refactor common network shared code into package under ``module_utils/network/``
-  * Filters: Add a filter to convert XML response from a network device to JSON object.
-  * Loads of bug fixes.
-  * Plus lots more.
-
-- New simpler and more intuitive 'loop' keyword for task loops. The ``with_<lookup>`` loops will likely be deprecated in the near future and eventually removed.
-
-- Added fact namespacing; from now on facts will be available under ``ansible_facts`` namespace (for example: ``ansible_facts.os_distribution``)
-  without the ``ansible_`` prefix. They will continue to be added into the main namespace directly, but now with a configuration toggle to
-  enable this. This is currently on by default, but in the future it will default to off.
-
-- Added a configuration file that a site administrator can use to specify modules to exclude from being used.
-
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- ansible-inventory - now supports a ``--export`` option to preserve group_var data (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/36188)
-
-- Added a few new magic vars corresponding to configuration/command
-  line options: ``ansible_diff_mode``, ``ansible_inventory_sources``,
-  ``ansible_limit``, ``ansible_run_tags`` , ``ansible_forks`` and
-  ``ansible_skip_tags``
-
-- Updated the bundled copy of the six library to 1.11.0
-
-- Added support to ``become`` ``NT AUTHORITY\System``,
-  ``NT AUTHORITY\LocalService``, and ``NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService`` on Windows hosts
-
-- Fixed ``become`` to work with async on Windows hosts
-
-- Improved ``become`` elevation process to work on standard
-  Administrator users without disabling UAC on Windows hosts
-
-- The jenkins\_plugin and yum\_repository plugins had their ``params``
-  option removed because they circumvented Ansible's option processing.
-
-- The combine filter now accepts a list of dicts as well as dicts directly
-
-- New CLI options for ansible-inventory, ansible-console and ansible to
-  allow specifying a playbook\_dir to be used for relative search
-  paths.
-
-- `The `stat`` and ``win_stat`` modules have changed the default value of
-  ``get_md5`` to ``False`` which will result in the ``md5`` return
-  value not being returned. This option will be removed altogether in
-  Ansible 2.9. Use ``get_checksum: True`` with
-  ``checksum_algorithm: md5`` to return an md5 hash of the file under
-  the ``checksum`` return value.
-
-- The ``osx_say`` module was renamed into ``say``.
-
-- Task debugger functionality was moved into ``StrategyBase``, and
-  extended to allow explicit invocation from use of the ``debugger``
-  keyword. The ``debug`` strategy is still functional, and is now just
-  a trigger to enable this functionality.
-
-- The documentation has undergone a major overhaul. Content has been moved into
-  targeted guides; the table of contents has been cleaned up and streamlined; 
-  the CSS theme has been updated to a custom version of the most recent 
-  ReadTheDocs theme, and the underlying directory structure for the RST files 
-  has been reorganized. 
-
-- The ANSIBLE\_REMOTE\_TMP environment variable has been added to
-  supplement (and override) ANSIBLE\_REMOTE\_TEMP. This matches with
-  the spelling of the config value. ANSIBLE\_REMOTE\_TEMP will be
-  deprecated in the future.
-
-- aci_* modules - added signature based authentication
-
-- aci_* modules - included dedicated ACI documentation
-
-- aci_* modules - improved ACI return values
-
-
-Deprecated Features
--------------------
-
-- Apstra's ``aos_*`` modules are deprecated as they do not work with AOS 2.1 or higher. See new modules at `https://github.com/apstra <https://github.com/apstra>`_.
-
-- Previously deprecated 'hostfile' config settings have been
-  're-deprecated' because previously code did not warn about deprecated
-  configuration settings.
-
-- Using Ansible-provided Jinja tests as filters is deprecated and will
-  be removed in Ansible 2.9.
-
-- The ``stat`` and ``win_stat`` modules have deprecated ``get_md5`` and the ``md5``
-  return values. These options will become undocumented in Ansible
-  2.9 and removed in a later version.
-
-- The ``redis_kv`` lookup has been deprecated in favor of new ``redis`` lookup
-
-- Passing arbitrary parameters that begin with ``HEADER_`` to the uri
-  module, used for passing http headers, is deprecated. Use the
-  ``headers`` parameter with a dictionary of header names to value
-  instead. This will be removed in Ansible 2.9
-
-- Passing arbitrary parameters to the zfs module to set zfs properties
-  is deprecated. Use the ``extra_zfs_properties`` parameter with a
-  dictionary of property names to values instead. This will be removed
-  in Ansible 2.9.
-
-- Use of the AnsibleModule parameter ``check\_invalid\_arguments`` in custom modules is deprecated. In the future, all parameters will be
-  checked to see whether they are listed in the arg spec and an error raised if they are not listed. This behaviour is the current and
-  future default so most custom modules can simply remove ``check\_invalid\_arguments`` if they set it to the default value of True.
-  The ``check\_invalid\_arguments`` parameter will be removed in Ansible 2.9.
-
-- The nxos\_ip\_interface module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5. Use nxos\_l3\_interface module instead.
-
-- The nxos\_portchannel module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5. Use nxos\_linkagg module instead.
-
-- The nxos\_switchport module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5. Use nxos\_l2\_interface module instead.
-
-- The ec2\_ami\_find has been deprecated; use ec2\_ami\_facts instead.
-
-- panos\_security\_policy: Use panos\_security\_rule - the old module uses deprecated API calls
-
-- vsphere\_guest is deprecated in Ansible 2.5 and will be removed in Ansible-2.9. Use vmware\_guest module instead.
-
-
-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
-----------------------------------------
-
-- accelerate.
-
-- boundary\_meter: There was no deprecation period for this but the
-  hosted service it relied on has gone away so the module has been
-  removed. `#29387 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29387>`__
-
-- cl\_ : cl\_interface, cl\_interface\_policy, cl\_bridge,
-  cl\_img\_install, cl\_ports, cl\_license, cl\_bond. Use ``nclu``
-  instead
-
-- docker. Use docker\_container and docker\_image instead.
-
-- ec2\_vpc.
-
-- ec2\_ami\_search, use ec2\_ami\_facts instead.
-
-- nxos\_mtu. Use nxos\_system's ``system_mtu`` option instead. To specify an interface's MTU use nxos\_interface.
-
-- panos\_nat\_policy: Use panos\_nat\_rule the old module uses deprecated API calls
-
-

-major_changes:
-- New simpler and more intuitive 'loop' keyword for task loops. The ``with_<lookup>`` loops will likely be deprecated in the near future and eventually removed.
-- |
-  Added fact namespacing; from now on facts will be available under ``ansible_facts`` namespace (for example: ``ansible_facts.os_distribution``)
-  without the ``ansible_`` prefix. They will continue to be added into the main namespace directly, but now with a configuration toggle to
-  enable this. This is currently on by default, but in the future it will default to off.
-- Added a configuration file that a site administrator can use to specify modules to exclude from being used.
-minor_changes:
-- |
-  Added a few new magic vars corresponding to configuration/command
-  line options: ``ansible_diff_mode``, ``ansible_inventory_sources``,
-  ``ansible_limit``, ``ansible_run_tags`` , ``ansible_forks`` and
-  ``ansible_skip_tags``
-- Updated the bundled copy of the six library to 1.11.0
-- |
-  Added support to ``become`` ``NT AUTHORITY\System``,
-  ``NT AUTHORITY\LocalService``, and ``NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService`` on Windows hosts
-- Fixed ``become`` to work with async on Windows hosts
-- |
-  Improved ``become`` elevation process to work on standard
-  Administrator users without disabling UAC on Windows hosts
-- |
-  The jenkins\_plugin and yum\_repository plugins had their ``params``
-  option removed because they circumvented Ansible's option processing.
-- The combine filter now accepts a list of dicts as well as dicts directly
-- |
-  New CLI options for ansible-inventory, ansible-console and ansible to
-  allow specifying a playbook\_dir to be used for relative search
-  paths.
-- |
-  `The `stat`` and ``win_stat`` modules have changed the default value of
-  ``get_md5`` to ``False`` which will result in the ``md5`` return
-  value not being returned. This option will be removed altogether in
-  Ansible 2.9. Use ``get_checksum: True`` with
-  ``checksum_algorithm: md5`` to return an md5 hash of the file under
-  the ``checksum`` return value.
-- |
-  The ``osx_say`` module was renamed into ``say``.
-- |
-  Task debugger functionality was moved into ``StrategyBase``, and
-  extended to allow explicit invocation from use of the ``debugger``
-  keyword. The ``debug`` strategy is still functional, and is now just
-  a trigger to enable this functionality.
-- |
-  The documentation has undergone a major overhaul. Content has been moved into
-  targeted guides; the table of contents has been cleaned up and streamlined; 
-  the CSS theme has been updated to a custom version of the most recent 
-  ReadTheDocs theme, and the underlying directory structure for the RST files 
-  has been reorganized. 
-
-- |
-  The ANSIBLE\_REMOTE\_TMP environment variable has been added to
-  supplement (and override) ANSIBLE\_REMOTE\_TEMP. This matches with
-  the spelling of the config value. ANSIBLE\_REMOTE\_TEMP will be
-  deprecated in the future.
-deprecated_features:
-- |
-  Previously deprecated 'hostfile' config settings have been
-  're-deprecated' because previously code did not warn about deprecated
-  configuration settings.
-- |
-  Using Ansible-provided Jinja tests as filters is deprecated and will
-  be removed in Ansible 2.9.
-- |
-  The ``stat`` and ``win_stat`` modules have deprecated ``get_md5`` and the ``md5``
-  return values. These options will become undocumented in Ansible
-  2.9 and removed in a later version.
-- The ``redis_kv`` lookup has been deprecated in favor of new ``redis`` lookup
-- |
-  Passing arbitrary parameters that begin with ``HEADER_`` to the uri
-  module, used for passing http headers, is deprecated. Use the
-  ``headers`` parameter with a dictionary of header names to value
-  instead. This will be removed in Ansible 2.9
-- |
-  Passing arbitrary parameters to the zfs module to set zfs properties
-  is deprecated. Use the ``extra_zfs_properties`` parameter with a
-  dictionary of property names to values instead. This will be removed
-  in Ansible 2.9.
-- |
-  Use of the AnsibleModule parameter ``check\_invalid\_arguments`` in custom modules is deprecated. In the future, all parameters will be
-  checked to see whether they are listed in the arg spec and an error raised if they are not listed. This behaviour is the current and
-  future default so most custom modules can simply remove ``check\_invalid\_arguments`` if they set it to the default value of True.
-  The ``check\_invalid\_arguments`` parameter will be removed in Ansible 2.9.
-- The nxos\_ip\_interface module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5. Use nxos\_l3\_interface module instead.
