|
|
This is release 2.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2021-01-28.
|
|
|
|
Major Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.netcommon collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1561).
|
|
- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.posix collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1157).
|
|
|
|
Minor Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- A new filter ``lists_mergeby`` to merge two lists of dictionaries by an attribute.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
[{'n': 'n1', 'p1': 'A', 'p2': 'F'},
|
|
{'n': 'n2', 'p2': 'B'}] | community.general.lists_mergeby(
|
|
[{'n': 'n1', 'p1': 'C'},
|
|
{'n': 'n2', 'p2': 'D'},
|
|
{'n': 'n3', 'p3': 'E'}], 'n') | list
|
|
|
|
evaluates to
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
[{'n': 'n1', 'p1': 'C', 'p2': 'F'},
|
|
{'n': 'n2', 'p2': 'D'},
|
|
{'n': 'n3', 'p3': 'E'}]
|
|
|
|
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/604).
|
|
- Add new filter plugin ``dict_kv`` which returns a single key-value pair from two arguments. Useful for generating complex dictionaries without using loops. For example ``'value' | community.general.dict_kv('key'))`` evaluates to ``{'key': 'value'}`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1264).
|
|
- The collection dependencies were adjusted so that ``community.kubernetes`` is required to be of version 1.0.0 or newer (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/774).
|
|
- The collection is now actively tested in CI with the latest Ansible 2.9 release.
|
|
- airbrake_deployment - add ``version`` param; clarified docs on ``revision`` param (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/583).
|
|

|
|

These options also change the state of the agent checks to match the requested state for the backend (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/684).
|
|
- homebrew_cask - Homebrew will be deprecating use of ``brew cask`` commands as of version 2.6.0, see https://brew.sh/2020/12/01/homebrew-2.6.0/. Added logic to stop using ``brew cask`` for brew version >= 2.6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1481).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the Google cloud plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the Google cloud content by FQCN, like ``community.general.gce_img``.
|
|
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``community.google.gce_img`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``community.google`` installed.
|
|
|
|
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install the ``community.google`` or ``google.cloud`` collections if you are using any of the Google cloud plugins or modules.
|
|
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as community.google) must be installed for them to work.
|
|
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the Kubevirt plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the Kubevirt content by FQCN, like ``community.general.kubevirt_vm``.

|
|
- The Google cloud inventory script ``gce.py`` has been migrated to the ``community.google`` collection. Install the ``community.google`` collection in order to continue using it.
|
|
- archive - remove path folder itself when ``remove`` paramater is true (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1041).
|
|
- log_plays callback - add missing information to the logs generated by the callback plugin. This changes the log message format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
|
|
- passwordstore lookup plugin - now parsing a password store entry as YAML if possible, skipping the first line (which by convention only contains the password and nothing else). If it cannot be parsed as YAML, the old ``key: value`` parser will be used to process the entry. Can break backwards compatibility if YAML formatted code was parsed in a non-YAML interpreted way, e.g. ``foo: [bar, baz]`` will become a list with two elements in the new version, but a string ``'[bar, baz]'`` in the old (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1673).
|
|
- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: absent`` will no longer remove every installed package from the system. It is now a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
|
|
- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: latest`` or ``state: present`` will no longer install every package from the configured package repositories. Instead, ``name: *, state: latest`` will upgrade all already-installed packages, and ``name: *, state: present`` is a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
|
|
- proxmox_kvm - recognize ``force=yes`` in conjunction with ``state=absent`` to forcibly remove a running VM (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/849).
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Features
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- The ``gluster_heal_info``, ``gluster_peer`` and ``gluster_volume`` modules have migrated to the `gluster.gluster <https://galaxy.ansible.com/gluster/gluster>`_ collection. Ansible-base 2.10.1 adjusted the routing target to point to the modules in that collection, so we will remove these modules in community.general 3.0.0. If you use Ansible 2.9, or use FQCNs ``community.general.gluster_*`` in your playbooks and/or roles, please update them to use the modules from ``gluster.gluster`` instead.
|
|
- The ldap_attr module has been deprecated and will be removed in a later release; use ldap_attrs instead.

|
|
- proxmox - the default of the new ``proxmox_default_behavior`` option will change from ``compatibility`` to ``no_defaults`` in community.general 4.0.0. Set the option to an explicit value to avoid a deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/850).
|
|
- proxmox_kvm - the default of the new ``proxmox_default_behavior`` option will change from ``compatibility`` to ``no_defaults`` in community.general 4.0.0. Set the option to an explicit value to avoid a deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/850).
