Release Summary
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Regular bugfix and feature release.
|
|
|
|
Minor Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- ModuleHelper module utils - added property ``verbosity`` to base class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5035).
|
|
- apk - add ``world`` parameter for supporting a custom world file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4976).
|
|
- consul - adds ``ttl`` parameter for session (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4996).
|
|
- dig lookup plugin - add option ``fail_on_error`` to allow stopping execution on lookup failures (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4973).
|
|
- keycloak_* modules - add ``http_agent`` parameter with default value ``Ansible`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5023).
|
|
- lastpass - use config manager for handling plugin options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5022).
|
|
- listen_ports_facts - add new ``include_non_listening`` option which adds ``-a`` option to ``netstat`` and ``ss``. This shows both listening and non-listening (for TCP this means established connections) sockets, and returns ``state`` and ``foreign_address`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4762, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4953).
|
|
- maven_artifact - add a new ``unredirected_headers`` option that can be used with ansible-core 2.12 and above. The default value is to not use ``Authorization`` and ``Cookie`` headers on redirects for security reasons. With ansible-core 2.11, all headers are still passed on for redirects (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4812).
|
|
- pacman - added parameters ``reason`` and ``reason_for`` to set/change the install reason of packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4956).
|
|
- xfconf - add ``stdout``, ``stderr`` and ``cmd`` to the module results (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5037).
|
|
- xfconf - use ``do_raise()`` instead of defining custom exception class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4975).
|
|
- xfconf_info - use ``do_raise()`` instead of defining custom exception class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4975).
|
|
|
|

|
|
- passwordstore lookup plugin - fix password store path detection for gopass (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4955).
|
|
- proxmox - fix error handling when getting VM by name when ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4945).
|
|
- proxmox_kvm - fix error handling when getting VM by name when ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4945).
|

v5.0.0
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Release Summary
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This is release 5.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2022-05-17.
|
|
|
|
Major Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- The community.general collection no longer supports Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10. While we take no active measures to prevent usage, we will remove a lot of compatibility code and other compatility measures that will effectively prevent using most content from this collection with Ansible 2.9, and some content of this collection with ansible-base 2.10. Both Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to ansible-core 2.11 or later as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
|
|
Minor Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- aix_filesystem - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3833).
|

- aix_lvg - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3834).
|
|

|
|

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Parts of this collection do not work with ansible-core 2.11 on Python 3.12+. Please either upgrade to ansible-core 2.12+, or use Python 3.11 or earlier (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).
|
|
- The symbolic links used to implement flatmapping for all modules were removed and replaced by ``meta/runtime.yml`` redirects. This effectively breaks compatibility with Ansible 2.9 for all modules (without using their "long" names, which is discouraged and which can change without previous notice since they are considered an implementation detail) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- a_module test plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- archive - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- git_config - remove Ansible 2.9 and early ansible-base 2.10 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- java_keystore - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- lists_mergeby and groupby_as_dict filter plugins - adjust filter plugin filename. This change is not visible to end-users, it only affects possible other collections importing Python paths (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4625).
|
|
- lists_mergeby filter plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- maven_artifact - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- memcached cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- path_join filter plugin shim - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- redis cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
|
|
- yarn - remove unsupported and unnecessary ``--no-emoji`` flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4662).
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Features
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- ansible_galaxy_install - deprecated support for ``ansible`` 2.9 and ``ansible-base`` 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4601).
|
|
- dig lookup plugin - the ``DLV`` record type has been decommissioned in 2017 and support for it will be removed from community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4618).
|
|
- gem - the default of the ``norc`` option has been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 6.0.0. Explicitly specify a value to avoid a deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4517).
|
|
- mail callback plugin - not specifying ``sender`` is deprecated and will be disallowed in community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4140).
|
|
- module_helper module utils - deprecated the attribute ``ModuleHelper.VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3801).
|
|
- nmcli - deprecate default hairpin mode for a bridge. This so we can change it to ``false`` in community.general 7.0.0, as this is also the default in ``nmcli`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4334).
|
|
- pacman - from community.general 5.0.0 on, the ``changed`` status of ``update_cache`` will no longer be ignored if ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified. To keep the old behavior, add something like ``register: result`` and ``changed_when: result.packages | length > 0`` to your task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).
|
|
- proxmox inventory plugin - the current default ``true`` of the ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host`` option has been deprecated. The default will change to ``false`` in community.general 6.0.0. To keep the current behavior, explicitly set ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host`` to ``true`` in your inventory configuration. We suggest to already switch to the new behavior by explicitly setting it to ``false``, and by using ``compose:`` to set ``ansible_host`` to the correct value. See the examples in the plugin documentation for details (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4466).
|
|
- vmadm - deprecated module parameter ``debug`` that was not used anywhere (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4580).
|
|
|
|

|
|
- pacman - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).

Known Issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- pacman - ``update_cache`` cannot differentiate between up to date and outdated package lists and will report ``changed`` in both situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).
|
|
- pacman - binaries specified in the ``executable`` parameter must support ``--print-format`` in order to be used by this module. In particular, AUR helper ``yay`` is known not to currently support it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4312).
