- docker_config - make sure to sanitize ``labels`` before sending them to the Docker Daemon (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/985).
- docker_host_info - ensure that the module always returns ``can_talk_to_docker``, and that it provides the correct value even if ``api_version`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/993, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/995).
- docker_network - make sure to sanitize ``labels`` before sending them to the Docker Daemon (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/985).

community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- github_key - in check mode, a faulty call to ```datetime.strftime(...)``` was being made which generated an exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9185).
community.mysql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- mysql_user,mysql_role - The sql_mode ANSI_QUOTES affects how the modules mysql_user and mysql_role compare the existing privileges with the configured privileges, as well as decide whether double quotes or backticks should be used in the GRANT statements. Pointing out in issue 671, the modules mysql_user and mysql_role allow users to enable/disable ANSI_QUOTES in session variable (within a DB session, the session variable always overwrites the global one). But due to the issue, the modules do not check for ANSI_MODE in the session variable, instead, they only check in the GLOBAL one.That behavior is not only limiting the users' flexibility, but also not allowing users to explicitly disable ANSI_MODE to work around such bugs like https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=115953. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/671)
community.postgresql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- postgresql_pg_hba - fixes #730 by extending the key we use to identify a rule with the connection type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/pull/770)
- postgresql_pg_hba - improves parsing of quoted strings and escaped newlines (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/pull/761)
- postgresql_user - doesn't take password_encryption into account when checking if a password should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/688).
community.vmware
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- vm_device_helper - Fix 'invalid configuration for device' error caused by missing fileoperation parameter. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2009).

Deprecated Features
-------------------
- The ``ngine_io.exoscale`` collection has been deprecated.
It will be removed from Ansible 11 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 11.
See `Collections Removal Process for unmaintained collections <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#unmaintained-collections>`__ for more details (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/2572 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/2572>`__).
- The sensu.sensu_go collection will be removed from Ansible 12 due to violations of the Ansible inclusion requirements.
The collection has \ `unresolved sanity test failures <https://github.com/sensu/sensu-go-ansible/issues/362>`__.
See `Collections Removal Process for collections not satisfying the collection requirements <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#collections-not-satisfying-the-collection-requirements>`__ for more details, including for how this can be cancelled (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/8380 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/8380>`__).
After removal, users can still install this collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install sensu.sensu_go``.

--------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fix ``SemanticVersion.parse()`` to store the version string so that ``__repr__`` reports it instead of ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83831).
- Fix an issue where registered variable was not available for templating in ``loop_control.label`` on skipped looped tasks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83619)
- Fix for ``meta`` tasks breaking host/fork affinity with ``host_pinned`` strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83294)
- Fix using the current task's directory for looking up relative paths within roles (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82695).

- connection plugins using the 'extras' option feature would need variables to match the plugin's loaded name, sometimes requiring fqcn, which is not the same as the documented/declared/expected variables. Now we fall back to the 'basename' of the fqcn, but plugin authors can still set the expected value directly.
- csvfile lookup - give an error when no search term is provided using modern config syntax (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83689).
- include_tasks - Display location when attempting to load a task list where ``include_*`` did not specify any value - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83874

- network_device - mask param can be string or int, cast to int at the end.
- reservation - remove duplicate parameter.
- support_bundle_download - remove duplicate parameter.
- trusted_certificate - fix comparison between request and current object.
cisco.mso
~~~~~~~~~

community.crypto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When using cryptography >= 43.0.0, use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps for the ``InvalidityDate`` X.509 CRL extension (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/726, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/730).
community.dns

- homebrew_cask - fix ``upgrade_all`` returns ``changed`` when nothing upgraded (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8707, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8708).
- keycloak_user_federation - get cleartext IDP ``clientSecret`` from full realm info to detect changes to it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8294, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8735).
- keycloak_user_federation - remove existing user federation mappers if they are not present in the federation configuration and will not be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7169, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8695).
community.routeros
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- api_modify, api_info - change the default of ``ingress-filtering`` in paths ``interface bridge`` and ``interface bridge port`` back to ``false`` for RouterOS before version 7 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/305).

Known Issues
------------
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- docker_container - when specifying a MAC address for a container's network, and the network is attached after container creation (for example, due to idempotency checks), the MAC address is at least in some cases ignored by the Docker Daemon (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/933).

with requests 2.32.0.
If you still experience problems with requests 2.32.0, such as error messages like
``Not supported URL scheme http+docker``, please restrict requests to ``<2.32.0``.

community.aws
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- msk_cluster - Support for additional ``m5`` and ``m7g`` types of MSK clusters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1947).
community.crypto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When using cryptography >= 42.0.0, use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/726, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/727).
- openssh_cert - avoid UTC functions deprecated in Python 3.12 when using Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/727).
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The EE requirements now include PyYAML, since the ``docker_compose_v2*`` modules depend on it when the ``definition`` option is used. This should not have a noticable effect on generated EEs since ansible-core itself depends on PyYAML as well, and ansible-builder explicitly ignores this dependency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832).
- docker_compose_v2* - the new option ``check_files_existing`` allows to disable the check for one of the files ``compose.yaml``, ``compose.yml``, ``docker-compose.yaml``, and ``docker-compose.yml`` in ``project_src`` if ``files`` is not specified. This is necessary if a non-standard compose filename is specified through other means, like the ``COMPOSE_FILE`` environment variable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/838, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/839).
- docker_compose_v2* modules - allow to provide an inline definition of the compose content instead of having to provide a ``project_src`` directory with the compose file written into it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/829, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832).
- vendored Docker SDK for Python - remove unused code that relies on functionality deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/834).
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
- apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value ``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
- filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126).
- ini_file - add an optional parameter ``section_has_values``. If the target ini file contains more than one ``section``, use ``section_has_values`` to specify which one should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7505).
- java_cert - add ``cert_content`` argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8153).
- keycloak_client, keycloak_clientscope, keycloak_clienttemplate - added ``docker-v2`` protocol support, enhancing alignment with Keycloak's protocol options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8215, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8216).
- nmcli - adds OpenvSwitch support with new ``type`` values ``ovs-port``, ``ovs-interface``, and ``ovs-bridge``, and new ``slave_type`` value ``ovs-port`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8154).
- osx_defaults - add option ``check_types`` to enable changing the type of existing defaults on the fly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8173).
- passwordstore lookup - add ``missing_subkey`` parameter defining the behavior of the lookup when a passwordstore subkey is missing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8166).
- portage - adds the possibility to explicitely tell portage to write packages to world file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6226, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8236).
- redfish_command - add command ``ResetToDefaults`` to reset manager to default state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8163).
- redfish_info - add boolean return value ``MultipartHttpPush`` to ``GetFirmwareUpdateCapabilities`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8194, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8195).
- ssh_config - allow ``accept-new`` as valid value for ``strict_host_key_checking`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8257).

- api_info, api_modify - add default value for ``from-pool`` field in ``/ipv6 address`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/270).
- api_info, api_modify - add missing path ``/interface pppoe-server server`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/273).
- api_info, api_modify - add missing path ``/ip dhcp-relay`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/276).
- api_info, api_modify - add missing path ``/queue simple`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/269).
- api_info, api_modify - add missing path ``/queue type`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/274).
- api_info, api_modify - add missing paths ``/routing bgp aggregate``, ``/routing bgp network`` and ``/routing bgp peer`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/277).
- api_info, api_modify - add support for paths ``/mpls interface``, ``/mpls ldp accept-filter``, ``/mpls ldp advertise-filter`` and ``mpls ldp interface`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/272).

- vmware_dvswitch - Add switchIpAddress/switch_ip parameter for netflow config
- vmware_guest_tools_info - Use `toolsVersionStatus2` instead of `toolsVersionStatus` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2033).

Deprecated Features
-------------------
community.crypto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- acme.backends module utils - from community.crypto on, all implementations of ``CryptoBackend`` must override ``get_ordered_csr_identifiers()``. The current default implementation, which simply sorts the result of ``get_csr_identifiers()``, will then be removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/725).
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
community.vmware
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- vmware_guest_tools_info - `vm_tools_install_status` will be removed from next major version (5.0.0) of the collection since the API call that provides this information has been deprecated by VMware. Use `vm_tools_running_status` / `vm_tools_version_status` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2033).

- DNS record modules, inventory plugins - fix the TXT entry encoder to avoid splitting up escape sequences for quotes and backslashes over multiple TXT strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/issues/190, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/191).
- Update Public Suffix List.
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- docker_compose_v2 - do not fail when non-fatal errors occur. This can happen when pulling an image fails, but then the image can be built for another service. Docker Compose emits an error in that case, but ``docker compose up`` still completes successfully (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/807, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/810, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/811).
- docker_compose_v2* modules - correctly parse ``Warning`` events emitted by Docker Compose (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/807, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/811).
- docker_compose_v2* modules - parse ``logfmt`` warnings emitted by Docker Compose (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/787, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/811).
- docker_compose_v2_pull - fixing idempotence by checking actual pull progress events instead of service-level pull request when ``policy=always``. This stops the module from reporting ``changed=true`` if no actual change happened when pulling. In check mode, it has to assume that a change happens though (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/813, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/814).
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
- consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091).
- homebrew - error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse empty JSON. Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error message to users (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8047).
- ipa_hbacrule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- ipa_sudorule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- iptables_state - fix idempotency issues when restoring incomplete iptables dumps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8029).
- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).
- pacemaker_cluster - actually implement check mode, which the module claims to support. This means that until now the module also did changes in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8081).
- pam_limits - when the file does not exist, do not create it in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8050, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8057).
- proxmox_kvm - fixed status check getting from node-specific API endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7817).

- purefa_info - Resolved issue with KeyError when LACP bonds are in use
- purefa_inventory - Fix issue with iSCSI-only FlashArrays
- purefa_pgsnap - Add support for restoring volumes connected to hosts in a host-based protection group and hosts in a hostgroup-based protection group.

Deprecated Features
-------------------
- The ``inspur.sm`` collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed from Ansible 11 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 11.
See `Collections Removal Process for unmaintained collections <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#unmaintained-collections>`__ for more details, including for how this can be cancelled (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/2854 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/2854>`__).
After removal, users can still install this collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install inspur.sm``.
- The ``netapp.storagegrid`` collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed from Ansible 11 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 11.
See `Collections Removal Process for unmaintained collections <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#unmaintained-collections>`__ for more details, including for how this can be cancelled (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/2811 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/2811>`__).
After removal, users can still install this collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.storagegrid``.
- The ``purestorage.fusion`` collection has been deprecated.
It will be removed from Ansible 10 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 10.
See `Collections Removal Process for unmaintained collections <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#unmaintained-collections>`__ for more details (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/3712 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/3712>`__).
community.crypto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- openssl_csr_pipe, openssl_privatekey_pipe, x509_certificate_pipe - the current behavior of check mode is deprecated and will change in community.crypto 3.0.0. The current behavior is similar to the modules without ``_pipe``: if the object needs to be (re-)generated, only the ``changed`` status is set, but the object is not updated. From community.crypto 3.0.0 on, the modules will ignore check mode and always act as if check mode is not active. This behavior can already achieved now by adding ``check_mode: false`` to the task. If you think this breaks your use-case of this module, please `create an issue in the community.crypto repository <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/new/choose>`__ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/712, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/714).
Bugfixes
--------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fix loading vars_plugins in roles (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82239).
- expect - fix argument spec error using timeout=null (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80982).
- include_vars - fix calculating ``depth`` relative to the root and ensure all files are included (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80987).
- templating - ensure syntax errors originating from a template being compiled into Python code object result in a failure (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82606)
amazon.aws
~~~~~~~~~~
- backup_plan - Fix idempotency issue when using botocore >= 1.31.36 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1952).
- plugins/inventory/aws_ec2 - Fix failure when retrieving information for more than 40 instances with use_ssm_inventory (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1713).
community.crypto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- luks_device - fixed module a bug that prevented using ``remove_keyslot`` with the value ``0`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710).
- luks_device - fixed module falsely outputting ``changed=false`` when trying to add a new slot with a key that is already present in another slot. The module now rejects adding keys that are already present in another slot (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710).
- luks_device - fixed testing of LUKS passphrases in when specifying a keyslot for cryptsetup version 2.0.3. The output of this cryptsetup version slightly differs from later versions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710).
community.dns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Update Public Suffix List.
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- docker_compose_v2 - do not consider a ``Waiting`` event as an action/change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/804).
- docker_compose_v2 - do not treat service-level pull events as changes to avoid incorrect ``changed=true`` return value of ``pull=always`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/802, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/803).
- docker_compose_v2, docker_compose_v2_pull - fix parsing of pull messages for Docker Compose 2.20.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/785, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/786).
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs fine, but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did not check the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``. This resulted in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges using ``state: absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the given parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7970).
- gitlab_issue - fix behavior to search GitLab issue, using ``search`` keyword instead of ``title`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7846).
- gitlab_runner - fix pagination when checking for existing runners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).
- keycloak_client - fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state when task is in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1226, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7881).
- modprobe - listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError if ``/etc/modprobe.d`` or ``/etc/modules-load.d`` did not exist. Relevant functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid crashing the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7717).
- onepassword lookup plugin - failed for fields that were in sections and had uppercase letters in the label/ID. Field lookups are now case insensitive in all cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7919).
- pkgin - pkgin (pkgsrc package manager used by SmartOS) raises erratic exceptions and spurious ``changed=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7971).
- redfish_info - allow for a GET operation invoked by ``GetUpdateStatus`` to allow for an empty response body for cases where a service returns 204 No Content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8003).
- redfish_info - correct uncaught exception when attempting to retrieve ``Chassis`` information (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7952).
community.grafana
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- test: replace deprecated `TestCase.assertEquals` to support Python 3.12
community.mysql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- mysql_info - the ``slave_status`` filter was returning an empty list on MariaDB with multiple replication channels. It now returns all channels by running ``SHOW ALL SLAVES STATUS`` for MariaDB servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/603).
community.postgresql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- postgresql_privs - fix a failure when altering privileges with ``grant_option: true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/668).
community.routeros
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- facts - fix date not getting removed for idempotent config export (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/262).

Major Changes
-------------
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The ``community.docker`` collection now depends on the ``community.library_inventory_filtering_v1`` collection. This utility collection provides host filtering functionality for inventory plugins. If you use the Ansible community package, both collections are included and you do not have to do anything special. If you install the collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install``, it will be installed automatically. If you install the collection by copying the files of the collection to a place where ansible-core can find it, for example by cloning the git repository, you need to make sure that you also have to install the dependency if you are using the inventory plugins (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/698).
community.hashi_vault
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- requirements - the ``requests`` package which is required by ``hvac`` now has a more restrictive range for this collection in certain use cases due to breaking security changes in ``ansible-core`` that were backported (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/pull/416).
dellemc.openmanage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- All OME modules are enhanced to support the environment variables `OME_USERNAME` and `OME_PASSWORD` as fallback for credentials.
- All iDRAC and Redfish modules are enhanced to support the environment variables `IDRAC_USERNAME` and `IDRAC_PASSWORD` as fallback for credentials.
- idrac_certificates - The module is enhanced to support the import and export of `CUSTOMCERTIFICATE`.
- idrac_gather_facts - This role is enhanced to support secure boot.
- idrac_license - The module is introduced to configure iDRAC licenses.
infoblox.nios_modules

Security Fixes
--------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ANSIBLE_NO_LOG - Address issue where ANSIBLE_NO_LOG was ignored (CVE-2024-0690)
Bugfixes
--------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Run all handlers with the same ``listen`` topic, even when notified from another handler (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82363).
- ``ansible-galaxy role import`` - fix using the ``role_name`` in a standalone role's ``galaxy_info`` metadata by disabling automatic removal of the ``ansible-role-`` prefix. This matches the behavior of the Galaxy UI which also no longer implicitly removes the ``ansible-role-`` prefix. Use the ``--role-name`` option or add a ``role_name`` to the ``galaxy_info`` dictionary in the role's ``meta/main.yml`` to use an alternate role name.
- ``ansible-test sanity --test runtime-metadata`` - add ``action_plugin`` as a valid field for modules in the schema (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82562).
- ansible-config init will now dedupe ini entries from plugins.
- ansible-galaxy role import - exit with 1 when the import fails (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82175).
- ansible-galaxy role install - fix symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82702, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
- ansible-galaxy role install - normalize tarfile paths and symlinks using ``ansible.utils.path.unfrackpath`` and consider them valid as long as the realpath is in the tarfile's role directory (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
- delegate_to when set to an empty or undefined variable will now give a proper error.
- dwim functions for lookups should be better at detectging role context even in abscense of tasks/main.
- roles, code cleanup and performance optimization of dependencies, now cached, and ``public`` setting is now determined once, at role instantiation.
- roles, the ``static`` property is now correctly set, this will fix issues with ``public`` and ``DEFAULT_PRIVATE_ROLE_VARS`` controls on exporting vars.
- unsafe data - Address an incompatibility when iterating or getting a single index from ``AnsibleUnsafeBytes``
- unsafe data - Address an incompatibility with ``AnsibleUnsafeText`` and ``AnsibleUnsafeBytes`` when pickling with ``protocol=0``
- unsafe data - Enable directly using ``AnsibleUnsafeText`` with Python ``pathlib`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82414)
amazon.aws
~~~~~~~~~~
- ec2_vpc_subnet - cleanly handle failure when subnet isn't created in time (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1848).
- iam_managed_policy - fixed an issue where only partial results were returned (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1936).
- s3_object - Fix typo that caused false deprecation warning when setting ``overwrite=latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1847).
- s3_object - when doing a put and specifying ``Content-Type`` in metadata, this module (since 6.0.0) erroneously set the ``Content-Type`` to ``None`` causing the put to fail. Fix now correctly honours the specified ``Content-Type`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1881).
check_point.mgmt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- httpapi/checkpoint.py - Raise a fatal error if login wasn't successful.
cisco.meraki
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Adding `smartquotes = False` to `conf.py` and romoving `'` from rst files.
- Adding build_ignore property to galaxy file.
- Adding support to ansible.utils >=3.0
community.aws
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- aws_ssm - disable ``enable-bracketed-paste`` to fix issue with amazon linux 2023 and other OSes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1756)
community.crypto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- acme_* modules - directly react on bad return data for account creation/retrieval/updating requests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/682).
- acme_* modules - fix improved error reporting in case of socket errors, bad status lines, and unknown connection errors (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/684).
- acme_* modules - increase number of retries from 5 to 10 to increase stability with unstable ACME endpoints (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/685).
- acme_* modules - make account registration handling more flexible to accept 404 instead of 400 send by DigiCert's ACME endpoint when an account does not exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/681).
- openssl_dhparam - was using an internal function instead of the public API to load DH param files when using the ``cryptography`` backend. The internal function was removed in cryptography 42.0.0. The module now uses the public API, which has been available since support for DH params was added to cryptography (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/698).
- openssl_privatekey_info - ``check_consistency=true`` no longer works for RSA keys with cryptography 42.0.0+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/701).
- openssl_privatekey_info - ``check_consistency=true`` now reports a warning if it cannot determine consistency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/705).
community.digitalocean
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The C(project_name) parameter for many modules was used by alias C(project) internally in the codebase, but to work properly C(project_name) must be used in the code. Replace self.module.params.get("project") with self.module.params.get("project_name") (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/issues/326).
- digital_ocean_kubernetes - module didn't return kubeconfig properly, return documentation was invalid. Fixed version returns data with the same structure all the time, also it is aligned with M(community.digitalocean.digital_ocean_kubernetes_info) documentation return data now. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/issues/322).
- inventory plugin - restore reading auth token from env variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/pull/315).
community.dns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Update Public Suffix List.
- wait_for_txt, nameserver_info, nameserver_record_info - when looking up nameservers for a domain, do not treat ``NXDOMAIN`` as a fatal error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/177).
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Use ``unix:///var/run/docker.sock`` instead of the legacy ``unix://var/run/docker.sock`` as default for ``docker_host`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/736).
- docker_compose_v2 - properly parse dry-run build events from ``stderr`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/778, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/779).
- docker_compose_v2_pull - the module was documented as part of the ``community.docker.docker`` action group, but was not actually part of it. That has now been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/773).
- docker_image - fix archiving idempotency with Docker API 1.44 or later (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/765).
- modules and plugins using the Docker SDK for Python - remove ``ssl_version`` from the parameters passed to Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0+. Explicitly fail with a nicer error message if it was explicitly set in this case (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/715).
- modules and plugins using the Docker SDK for Python - remove ``tls_hostname`` from the parameters passed to Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0+. Explicitly fail with a nicer error message if it was explicitly set in this case (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/721).
- vendored Docker SDK for Python - avoid passing on ``ssl_version`` and ``tls_hostname`` if they were not provided by the user. Remove dead code. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/722).
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from ``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864).
- incus connection plugin - treats ``inventory_hostname`` as a variable instead of a literal in remote connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7874).
- ipa_otptoken - the module expect ``ipatokendisabled`` as string but the ``ipatokendisabled`` value is returned as a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7795).
- keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` processing was not idempotent if the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name (in ascending order). Fix resolves the issue by sorting mappers in the desired state using the same key which is used for obtaining existing state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_identity_provider - it was not possible to reconfigure (add, remove) ``mappers`` once they were created initially. Removal was ignored, adding new ones resulted in dropping the pre-existing unmodified mappers. Fix resolves the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_user - when ``force`` is set, but user does not exist, do not try to delete it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7696).
- ldap - previously the order number (if present) was expected to follow an equals sign in the DN. This makes it so the order number string is identified correctly anywhere within the DN (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7646).
- mssql_script - make the module work with Python 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7818, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7821).
- nmcli - fix ``connection.slave-type`` wired to ``bond`` and not with parameter ``slave_type`` in case of connection type ``wifi`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7389).
- proxmox - fix updating a container config if the setting does not already exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7872).
- proxmox_kvm - running ``state=template`` will first check whether VM is already a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7792).
- statusio_maintenance - fix error caused by incorrectly formed API data payload. Was raising "Failed to create maintenance HTTP Error 400 Bad Request" caused by bad data type for date/time and deprecated dict keys (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7754).
community.grafana
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add `grafana_organiazion_user` to `action_groups.grafana`
- Fixed orgId handling in diff comparison for `grafana_datasource` if using org_name
community.postgresql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- postgresql_query - now reports not changed for queries starting with "SHOW" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/pull/592).
- postgresql_user - module failed when running against an SQL_ASCII encoded database as the user's current password was returned as bytes as opposed to a str. Fix now checks for this case and decodes the bytes as an ascii encoded string. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/584).
community.sap_libs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- fixes failures in sanity test for all modules

cloudscale_ch.cloud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Bump minimum required Ansible version to 2.13.0
community.mysql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The community.mysql collection no longer supports ``ansible-core 2.12`` and ``ansible-core 2.13``. While we take no active measures to prevent usage and there are no plans to introduce incompatible code to the modules, we will stop testing those versions. Both are or will soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to the ``latest Ansible / ansible-core 2.15 or later`` as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/574).
- mysql_role - the ``column_case_sensitive`` argument's default value will be changed to ``true`` in community.mysql 4.0.0. If your playbook expected the column to be automatically uppercased for your roles privileges, you should set this to false explicitly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/578).
- mysql_user - the ``column_case_sensitive`` argument's default value will be changed to ``true`` in community.mysql 4.0.0. If your playbook expected the column to be automatically uppercased for your users privileges, you should set this to false explicitly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/577).
community.postgresql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- postgres modules - the minimum version of psycopg2 library the collection supports is 2.5.1 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/pull/556).
- postgresql_pg_hba - remove the deprecated ``order`` argument. The sortorder ``sdu`` is hardcoded (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/pull/496).
- postgresql_privs - remove the deprecated ``usage_on_types`` argument. Use the ``type`` option of the ``type`` argument to explicitly manipulate privileges on PG types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/208).
- postgresql_query - remove the deprecated ``path_to_script`` and ``as_single_query`` arguments. Use the ``postgresql_script`` module to run queries from scripts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/189).
- postgresql_user - move the deprecated ``privs`` argument removal to community.postgresql 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/493).
- postgresql_user - remove the deprecated ``groups`` argument. Use the ``postgresql_membership`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/300).

- Configurable agent user groups by @NormanJS
- Grafana Plugins support on-prem Grafana installation by @ishanjainn
- Updated Service for flow mode by @bentonam
Minor Changes
-------------
- Move setuptools configuration into the declarative ``setup.cfg`` format. ``ansible`` sdists still contain a stub ``setup.py`` file, but we recommend that users move to tools like pip and build and the PEP 517 interface instead of setuptools' deprecated ``setup.py`` interface (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/530).
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add Python type hints to the Display class (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80841)
- Add ``GALAXY_COLLECTIONS_PATH_WARNING`` option to disable the warning given by ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` when installing a collection to a path that isn't in the configured collection paths.
- Add ``python3.12`` to the default ``INTERPRETER_PYTHON_FALLBACK`` list.
- Add ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow`` to ``ansible.module_utils.compat.datetime`` to return fixed offset datetime objects.
- Add a general ``GALAXY_SERVER_TIMEOUT`` config option for distribution servers (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79833).
- Added Python type annotation to connection plugins
- CLI argument parsing - Automatically prepend to the help of CLI arguments that support being specified multiple times. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22396)
- DEFAULT_TRANSPORT now defaults to 'ssh', the old 'smart' option is being deprecated as versions of OpenSSH without control persist are basically not present anymore.
- Documentation for set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union`` now states that the returned list items are in arbitrary order.
- Record ``removal_date`` in runtime metadata as a string instead of a date.
- Remove the ``CleansingNodeVisitor`` class and its usage due to the templating changes that made it superfluous. Also simplify the ``Conditional`` class.
- Removed ``exclude`` and ``recursive-exclude`` commands for generated files from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These excludes were unnecessary since releases are expected to be built with a clean worktree.
- Removed ``exclude`` commands for sanity test files from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These tests were previously excluded because they did not pass when run from an sdist. However, sanity tests are not expected to pass from an sdist, so excluding some (but not all) of the failing tests makes little sense.
- Removed redundant ``include`` commands from the ``MANIFEST.in`` file. These includes either duplicated default behavior or another command.
- The ``ansible-core`` sdist no longer contains pre-generated man pages. Instead, a ``packaging/cli-doc/build.py`` script is included in the sdist. This script can generate man pages and standalone RST documentation for ``ansible-core`` CLI programs.
- The ``docs`` and ``examples`` directories are no longer included in the ``ansible-core`` sdist. These directories have been moved to the https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation repository.
- The minimum required ``setuptools`` version is now 66.1.0, as it is the oldest version to support Python 3.12.
- Update ``ansible_service_mgr`` fact to include init system for SMGL OS family
- Use ``ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils._text``.
- Use ``importlib.resources.abc.TraversableResources`` instead of deprecated ``importlib.abc.TraversableResources`` where available (https:/github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81082).
- Use ``include`` where ``recursive-include`` is unnecessary in the ``MANIFEST.in`` file.
- Use ``package_data`` instead of ``include_package_data`` for ``setup.cfg`` to avoid ``setuptools`` warnings.
- Utilize gpg check provided internally by the ``transaction.run`` method as oppose to calling it manually.
- ``Templar`` - do not add the ``dict`` constructor to ``globals`` as all required Jinja2 versions already do so
- ansible-doc - allow to filter listing of collections and metadata dump by more than one collection (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81450).
- ansible-galaxy - Add a plural option to improve ignoring multiple signature error status codes when installing or verifying collections. A space-separated list of error codes can follow --ignore-signature-status-codes in addition to specifying --ignore-signature-status-code multiple times (for example, ``--ignore-signature-status-codes NO_PUBKEY UNEXPECTED``).
- ansible-galaxy - Remove internal configuration argument ``v3`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80721)
- ansible-galaxy - add note to the collection dependency resolver error message about pre-releases if ``--pre`` was not provided (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80048).
- ansible-galaxy - used to crash out with a "Errno 20 Not a directory" error when extracting files from a role when hitting a file with an illegal name (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81553). Now it gives a warning identifying the culprit file and the rule violation (e.g., ``my$class.jar`` has a ``$`` in the name) before crashing out, giving the user a chance to remove the invalid file and try again. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81555).
- ansible-test - Add Alpine 3.18 to remotes
- ansible-test - Add Fedora 38 container.
- ansible-test - Add Fedora 38 remote.

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Any plugin using the config system and the `cli` entry to use the `timeout` from the command line, will see the value change if the use had configured it in any of the lower precedence methods. If relying on this behaviour to consume the global/generic timeout from the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant, please consult the documentation on plugin configuration to add the overlaping entries.
- ansible-test - Test plugins that rely on containers no longer support reusing running containers. The previous behavior was an undocumented, untested feature.
- service module will not permanently configure variables/flags for openbsd when doing enable/disable operation anymore, this module was never meant to do this type of work, just to manage the service state itself. A rcctl_config or similar module should be created and used instead.
amazon.aws
~~~~~~~~~~
- The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for ``botocore<1.29.0`` and ``boto3<1.26.0``.

When using older versions of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1763).
- amazon.aws collection - due to the AWS SDKs announcing the end of support for Python less than 3.7 (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/python-support-policy-updates-for-aws-sdks-and-tools/) support for Python less than 3.7 by this collection wss been deprecated in release 6.0.0 and removed in release 7.0.0.

``rhn_register`` module, as it is the only user of this class; this means
that the whole ``module_utils.redhat`` module will be dropped in
community.general 10.0.0, so importing it without even using anything of it
will fail
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6663).
- redhat_subscription - the ``autosubscribe`` alias for the ``auto_attach`` option has been
deprecated for many years, although only in the documentation. Officially mark this alias
as deprecated, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6646).
- redhat_subscription - the ``pool`` option is deprecated in favour of the
more precise and flexible ``pool_ids`` option
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6650).
- rhsm_repository - ``state=present`` has not been working as expected for many years,
and it seems it was not noticed so far; also, "presence" is not really a valid concept
for subscription repositories, which can only be enabled or disabled. Hence, mark the
``present`` and ``absent`` values of the ``state`` option as deprecated, slating them
for removal in community.general 10.0.0
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6673).
- stackdriver - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6887).

- webfaction_domain - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
- webfaction_mailbox - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
- webfaction_site - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).

Bugfixes
--------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Allow for searching handler subdir for included task via include_role (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81722)
- AnsibleModule.run_command - Only use selectors when needed, and rely on Python stdlib subprocess for the simple task of collecting stdout/stderr when prompt matching is not required.
- Cache host_group_vars after instantiating it once and limit the amount of repetitive work it needs to do every time it runs.
- Call PluginLoader.all() once for vars plugins, and load vars plugins that run automatically or are enabled specifically by name subsequently.
- Display - Defensively configure writing to stdout and stderr with a custom encoding error handler that will replace invalid characters while providing a deprecation warning that non-utf8 text will result in an error in a future version.
- Exclude internal options from man pages and docs.
- Fix ``ansible-config init`` man page option indentation.
- Fix ``ast`` deprecation warnings for ``Str`` and ``value.s`` when using Python 3.12.
- Fix ``run_once`` being incorrectly interpreted on handlers (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81666)
- Fix exceptions caused by various inputs when performing arg splitting or parsing key/value pairs. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46379 and issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/61497
- Fix incorrect parsing of multi-line Jinja2 blocks when performing arg splitting or parsing key/value pairs.
- Fix post-validating looped task fields so the strategy uses the correct values after task execution.
- Fixed `pip` module failure in case of usage quotes for `virtualenv_command` option for the venv command. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76372)
- From issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80880, when notifying a handler from another handler, handler notifications must be registered immediately as the flush_handler call is not recursive.
- Import ``FILE_ATTRIBUTES`` from ``ansible.module_utils.common.file`` in ``ansible.module_utils.basic`` instead of defining it twice.
- Inventory scripts parser not treat exception when getting hostsvar (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81103)
- On Python 3 use datetime methods ``fromtimestamp`` and ``now`` with UTC timezone instead of ``utcfromtimestamp`` and ``utcnow``, which are deprecated in Python 3.12.
- PluginLoader - fix Jinja plugin performance issues (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79652)
- PowerShell - Remove some code which is no longer valid for dotnet 5+
- Prevent running same handler multiple times when included via ``include_role`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73643)
- Prompting - add a short sleep between polling for user input to reduce CPU consumption (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81516).
- Properly disable ``jinja2_native`` in the template module when jinja2 override is used in the template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80605)

- Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union`` now always return a ``list``, never a ``set``. Previously, a ``set`` would be returned if the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``, instead of a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
- Set filters ``intersect``, ``difference``, ``symmetric_difference`` and ``union`` now use set operations when the given items are hashable. Previously, list operations were performed unless the inputs were a hashable type such as ``str``, instead of a collection, such as a ``list`` or ``tuple``.
- Switch result queue from a ``multiprocessing.queues.Queue` to ``multiprocessing.queues.SimpleQueue``, primarily to allow properly handling pickling errors, to prevent an infinite hang waiting for task results

- Update module_utils.urls unit test to work with cryptography >= 41.0.0.
- When generating man pages, use ``func`` to find the command function instead of looking it up by the command name.
- ``StrategyBase._process_pending_results`` - create a ``Templar`` on demand for templating ``changed_when``/``failed_when``.
- ``ansible-galaxy`` now considers all collection paths when identifying which collection requirements are already installed. Use the ``COLLECTIONS_PATHS`` and ``COLLECTIONS_SCAN_SYS_PATHS`` config options to modify these. Previously only the install path was considered when resolving the candidates. The install path will remain the only one potentially modified. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79767, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81163)
- ``ansible.module_utils.service`` - ensure binary data transmission in ``daemonize()``
