---
minor_changes:
- In Ansible-2.4 and above, Ansible passes the temporary directory a module
  should use to the module.  This is done via a module parameter
  (_ansible_tmpdir).  An earlier version of this which was also prototyped in
  Ansible-2.4 development used an environment variable, ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TMP to
  pass this information to the module instead.  When we switched to using
  a module parameter, the environment variable was left in by mistake.
  Ansible-2.7 removes that variable.  Any third party modules which relied on
  it should use the module parameter instead.
ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TMP was an implementation of unified temp that was later changed One of the earlier implementation of unified temp for 2.4 passed the temp diretory to the remote side using this environment variable. We later changed it to be passed via a module parameter but forgot to remove the environment variable. 2018-07-25 21:02:40 +02:00			`---`
