0.8 "Cathedral" -- release pending
Misc/Unsorted:
Core:
* server side action code (template, etc) are now fully pluggable
* 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
* start of fireball mode -- ansible can bootstrap a ephemeral 0mq (zeromq) daemon that runs as a given user and expires after X period of time (WIP)
* 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
Playbooks:
* is_set is available for use inside of an only_if expression: is_set('ansible_eth0') # etc
* to_yaml and from_yaml are available as Jinja2 filters
* $group and $group_names are now accessible in with_items
* playbooks can import playbooks in other directories and then be able to import tasks relative to them
* where 'stdout' is provided a new 'stdout_lines' variable (type == list) is now generated and usable with with_items
* FILE($path) now allows access of contents of file in a path, very good for use with SSH keys
* similarly PIPE($command) will run a local command and return the results of executing this command
* when local_action is used the transport is automatically overridden to the local type
* output on failed playbook commands is now nicely split for stderr/stdout and syntax errors
* if local_action is not used and delegate_to was 127.0.0.1 or localhost, use local connection regardless
* is_unset is also available in only_if in addition to is_set
* when running a playbook, and the statement has changed, prints 'changed:' now versus 'ok:' so it is obvious without colored mode
* variables now usable within vars_prompt (just not host/group vars)
* only_if using register variables that are booleans now works in a boolean way like you'd expect
* if all hosts in a play fail, stop the playbook, rather than letting the console log spool on by
* setup facts are now retained across plays (dictionary just gets updated as needed)
* task includes now work with with_items (such as: include: path/to/wordpress.yml user=$item)
* when using a $list variable with $var or ${var} syntax it will automatically join with commas
* --sudo-user now works with --extra-vars
* fix for multi_line strings with only_if
Modules:
* 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
* to_yaml and from_yaml are available as Jinja2 filters
* server side action code (template, etc) are now fully pluggable
* lineinfile module now uses 'search' not exact 'match' in regexes, making it much more intuitive and not needing regex syntax most of the time
* $group and $group_names are now accessible in with_items
* playbooks can import playbooks in other directories and then be able to import tasks relative to them
* ansible config file can also go in '.ansible.cfg' in cwd in addition to ~/.ansible.cfg and /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
* fix for inventory hosts at API level when hosts spec is a list and not a colon delimited string
* added force=yes|no (default no) option for file module, which allows transition between files to directories and so on
* where 'stdout' is provided a new 'stdout_lines' variable (type == list) is now generated and usable with with_items
* FILE($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
* additional facts for SunOS virtualization
* when local_action is used the transport is automatically overridden to the local type
* copy module is now atomic when used across volumes
* ansible-pull example now sets up logrotate for the ansible-pull cron job log
* url_get module now returns 'dest' with the location of the file saved
* fix for yum module when using local RPMs vs downloading
* 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
* explicit quoting around only_if statements is no longer neccessary
* is_unset is also available in only_if in addition to is_set
* negative host matching (!hosts) fixed for external inventory script usage
* pause plugin (pause seconds=10) (pause minutes=1) (pause prompt=foo) action plugin
* cleaner error messages with copy if destination directory does not exist
* internals: os.executable check replaced with utils function so it plays nice on AIX
* 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 module now still works if PATH is not set
* Debian packaging now includes ansible-pull manpage
* magic variable 'ansible_ssh_host' can override the hostname (great for usage with tunnels)
* service module status now correct for services with 'subsys locked' status
* misc fixes/upgrades to the wait_for module
* date command usage in build scripts fixed for OS X
* git module now expands any "~" in provided destination paths
* THINGS BELOW THIS LINE, NEED TO ANNOUNCE IN SUMMARY TO LIST YET:
* ansible-module docs generator source merged in
* ini_file module for manipulating INI files
* only_if using register variables that are booleans now works in a boolean way like you'd expect
* don't use SSH agent with paramiko if a password is specified
* start of fireball mode -- ansible can bootstrap a ephemeral 0mq (zeromq) daemon that runs as a given user and expires after X period of time (WIP)
* ignore stop error code failure for service module with state=restarted, always try to start
* make output be cleaner on multi-line command/shell errors
* inline documentation for modules allows documentation source to built without pull requests to the ansible-docs project, among other things
* new LSB facts (release, distro, etc)
