* Tue Mar 27 2018 lars@linux-schulserver.de
- Update to 2.5.0:
Major Changes
* Ansible Network improvements
+ Created new connection plugins network_cli and netconf to replace
connection=local. connection=local will continue to work for a
number of Ansible releases.
+ No more unable to open shell. A clear and descriptive message will
be displayed in normal ansible-playbook output without needing to enable debug mode
+ Loads of documentation, see Ansible for Network Automation Documentation.
+ Refactor common network shared code into package under module_utils/network/
+ Filters: Add a filter to convert XML response from a network device to JSON object.
+ Loads of bug fixes.
+ Plus lots more.
* New simpler and more intuitive 'loop' keyword for task loops. The
with_<lookup> loops will likely be deprecated in the near future
and eventually removed.
* Added fact namespacing; from now on facts will be available under
ansible_facts namespace (for example: ansible_facts.os_distribution)
without the ansible_ prefix. They will continue to be added into the
main namespace directly, but now with a configuration toggle to enable
this. This is currently on by default, but in the future it will default to off.
* Added a configuration file that a site administrator can use to
specify modules to exclude from being used.
Minor Changes
* please refer to /share/doc/packages/ansible/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.5.rst
Deprecated Features
* Previously deprecated 'hostfile' config settings have been 're-deprecated'
because previously code did not warn about deprecated configuration settings.
* Using Ansible-provided Jinja tests as filters is deprecated and will
be removed in Ansible 2.9.
* The stat and win_stat modules have deprecated get_md5 and the md5 return
values. These options will become undocumented in Ansible 2.9 and
removed in a later version.
* The redis_kv lookup has been deprecated in favor of new redis lookup
* Passing arbitrary parameters that begin with HEADER_ to the uri module,
used for passing http headers, is deprecated. Use the headers parameter
with a dictionary of header names to value instead.
This will be removed in Ansible 2.9
* Passing arbitrary parameters to the zfs module to set zfs properties is
deprecated. Use the extra_zfs_properties parameter with a dictionary of
property names to values instead. This will be removed in Ansible 2.9.
* Use of the AnsibleModule parameter check\_invalid\_arguments in custom
modules is deprecated. In the future, all parameters will be checked to
see whether they are listed in the arg spec and an error raised if they
are not listed. This behaviour is the current and future default so most
custom modules can simply remove check\_invalid\_arguments if they set it
to the default value of True. The check\_invalid\_arguments parameter
will be removed in Ansible 2.9.
* The nxos_ip_interface module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5.
Use nxos_l3_interface module instead.
* The nxos_portchannel module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5.
Use nxos_linkagg module instead.
* The nxos_switchport module is deprecated in Ansible 2.5.
Use nxos_l2_interface module instead.
* The ec2_ami_find has been deprecated; use ec2_ami_facts instead.
* panos_security_policy: Use panos_security_rule - the old module uses
deprecated API calls
* vsphere_guest is deprecated in Ansible 2.5 and will be removed in
Ansible-2.9. Use vmware_guest module instead.
Removed Features (previously deprecated)
* accelerate.
* boundary_meter: There was no deprecation period for this but the hosted
service it relied on has gone away so the module has been removed. #29387
* cl_ : cl_interface, cl_interface_policy, cl_bridge, cl_img_install,
cl_ports, cl_license, cl_bond. Use nclu instead
* docker. Use docker_container and docker_image instead.
* ec2_vpc.
* ec2_ami_search, use ec2_ami_facts instead.
* nxos_mtu. Use nxos_system's system_mtu option instead.
To specify an interface's MTU use nxos_interface.
* panos_nat_policy: Use panos_nat_rule the old module uses
deprecated API calls

Major Changes
+ Support for Python-2.4 and Python-2.5 on the managed system's side
was dropped. If you need to manage a system that ships with Python-2.4
or Python-2.5, you'll need to install Python-2.6 or better on the
managed system or run Ansible-2.3 until you can upgrade the system.
+ New import/include keywords to replace the old bare include directives.
The use of static: {yes|no} on such includes is now deprecated.
++ Using import_* (import_playbook, import_tasks, import_role) directives are static.
++ Using include_* (include_tasks, include_role) directives are dynamic.
This is done to avoid collisions and possible security issues as
facts come from the remote targets and they might be compromised.
+ New order play level keyword that allows the user to change the
order in which Ansible processes hosts when dispatching tasks.
+ Users can now set group merge priority for groups of the same depth
(parent child relationship), using the new ansible_group_priority variable,
when values are the same or don't exist it will fallback to the previous
sorting by name'.
+ Inventory has been revamped:
++ Inventory classes have been split to allow for better
management and deduplication
++ Logic that each inventory source duplicated is now common and pushed
up to reconciliation
++ VariableManager has been updated for better interaction with inventory
++ Updated CLI with helper method to initialize base objects for plays
++ New inventory plugins for creating inventory
++ Old inventory formats are still supported via plugins
++ Inline host_list is also an inventory plugin, an example alternative
advanced_host_list is also provided (it supports ranges)
++ New configuration option to list enabled plugins and precedence
order: whitelist_inventory in ansible.cfg
++ vars_plugins have been reworked, they are now run from Vars manager
and API has changed (need docs)
++ Loading group_vars/host_vars is now a vars plugin and can be overridden
++ It is now possible to specify mulitple inventory sources in the
command line (-i /etc/hosts1 -i /opt/hosts2)
++ Inventory plugins can use the cache plugin (i.e. virtualbox) and
is affected by meta: refresh_inventory
++ Group variable precedence is now configurable via new 'precedence'
option in ansible.cfg (needs docs)
++ Improved warnings and error messages across the board
+ Configuration has been changed from a hardcoded listing in the
constants module to dynamically loaded from yaml definitions
++ Also added an ansible-config CLI to allow for listing config options
and dumping current config (including origin)
++ TODO: build upon this to add many features detailed in ansible-config
proposal https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/35
+ Windows modules now support the use of multiple shared module_utils
files in the form of Powershell modules (.psm1), via
[#]Requires -Module Ansible.ModuleUtils.Whatever.psm1
+ Python module argument_spec now supports custom validation logic
by accepting a callable as the type argument.
+ Windows become_method: runas now works across all authtypes and
will auto-elevate under UAC if WinRM user has "Act as part of the
operating system" privilege
- please refer to /usr/share/doc/packages/ansible/CHANGELOG.md for
further changes
