Ansible Changes By Release
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
0.4 "Unchained" ------- in progress, ETA May 2012
|
|
|
|
* custom facts provided by the setup module mean no dependency on Ruby, facter, or ohai
|
|
* sudo improvements, now works much more smoothly
|
|
* OS X support in progress for ansible on the host and clients (modules still TBA)
|
|
* list of hosts in playbooks can be expressed as a YAML list in addition to ; delimited
|
|
* tweaks to SELinux implementation for file module
|
|
* first_available_file feature, see selective_file_sources.yml in examples/playbooks for info
|
|
* fixes for yum module corner cases on EL5
|
|
* --extra-vars="a=2 b=3" etc, now available to inject parameters into playbooks from CLI
|
|
* file module now correctly returns the mode in octal
|
|
* modules can no longer include stderr output (paramiko limitation from sudo)
|
|
* 'group_names' is now a variable made available to templates
|
|
* variables in the 'all' section can be used to define other variables based on those values
|
|
* fix for symlink handling in the file module
|
|
* groups and users module takes an optional system=yes|no on creation (default no)
|
|
* async handling improvements
|
|
* service takes an enable=yes|no which works with chkconfig or updates-rc.d as appropriate
|
|
* inventory_hostname variable available that contains the value of the host as ansible knows it
|
|
* service module works better on Ubuntu
|
|
* git module now does resets and such to work more smoothly on updates
|
|
* fix to internals of hacking/test-module development script
|
|
* ansible-pull script and example playbook (extreme scaling, remediation)
|
|
* service fixes to better detect status using return codes of the service script
|
|
* ansible INI style format can do groups of groups [groupname:children] and group vars [groupname:vars]
|
|
* sudo to a particular user with -U/--sudo-user, or using 'sudo_user: foo' in a playbook
|
|
* internal inventory API now more object oriented, parsers decoupled
|
|
* --override-hosts removed (see following change...)
|
|
* able to pass host specifier or group name in to "hosts:" with --extra-vars
|
|
* git module supports branch=
|
|
* unicode now ok in templates (assumes utf8)
|
|
* modules all now log to syslog
|
|
* can use -i host1,host2,host3:port to specify hosts not in inventory (replaces --override-hosts)
|
|
* fixes for variable parsing in only_if lines
|
|
* variables can be replaced like ${foo.nested_hash_key.nested_subkey[array_index]}
|
|
* jinja2 is only usable in templates
|
|
* enabled=yes|no on a service can be used to toggle chkconfig & updates-rc.d states

|
|
* Improvements to the apt and yum modules

|
|
* SELinux support for the file module
|
|

|
|
resources like support)
|
|
* Built in Ansible facts so you don't need ohai, facter, or Ruby
|
|
* tempdir selections that work with noexec mounted /tmp
|
|

|
|
python-jinja2 for remote computers
|

|
|
per host and per group
