- Avoid internal ansible-core module_utils in favor of equivalent public API available since at least Ansible 2.9. This fixes some instances added since the last time this was fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4232).
|
|
|
|
|
- ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase` now delegates the attributes ``check_mode``, ``get_bin_path``, ``warn``, and ``deprecate`` to the underlying ``AnsibleModule`` instance (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4600).
|
|
|
|
|
- ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase`` now has a convenience method ``do_raise`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4660).
|
|
|
|
|
- Remove vendored copy of ``distutils.version`` in favor of vendored copy included with ansible-core 2.12+. For ansible-core 2.11, uses ``distutils.version`` for Python < 3.12. There is no support for ansible-core 2.11 with Python 3.12+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).

- icinga2 inventory plugin - inventory object names are changable using ``inventory_attr`` in your config file to the host object name, address, or display_name fields (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3875, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3906).

|
|
|
|
|
- ipa_dnszone - ``dynamicupdate`` is now a boolean parameter, instead of a string parameter accepting ``"true"`` and ``"false"``. Also the module is now idempotent with respect to ``dynamicupdate`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3374).

- pacman - the module has been rewritten and is now much faster when using ``state=latest``. Operations are now done all packages at once instead of package per package and the configured output format of ``pacman`` no longer affect the module's operation. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3907, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3783, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4079)
|
|
|
|
|
- passwordstore lookup plugin - add configurable ``lock`` and ``locktimeout`` options to avoid race conditions in itself and in the ``pass`` utility it calls. By default, the plugin now locks on write operations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4194).
|
|
