Added tag information to --list-tasks and new --list-tags option. +* Privilege Escalation generalization, new 'Become' system and variables now will + handle existing and new methods. Sudo and su have been kept for backwards compatibility. + New methods pbrun and pfexec in 'alpha' state, planned adding 'runas' for winrm connection plugin. +* Improved ssh connection error reporting, now you get back the specific message from ssh. +* Added facility to document task module return values for registered vars, both for + ansible-doc and the docsite. Documented copy, stats and acl modules, the rest must be + updated individually (we will start doing so incrementally). +* Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more efficiently. + For some use cases this can lead to dramatic improvements in startup time. +* Overhaul of the checksum system, now supports more systems and more cases more reliably and uniformly. * Fix skipped tasks to not display their parameters if no_log is specified. - * Many fixes to unicode support, standarized functions to make it easier to add to input/output boundries. - * Added travis integration to github for basic tests, this should speed up ticket triage and merging. - * environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is inhertited by tasks, which can still overridde it. - * expanded facts and OS/distribution support for existing facts and improved performance with pypy. - * new 'wantlist' option to lookups allows for selecting a list typed variable vs a commad delimited string as the return. - * the shared module code for file backups now uses a timestamp resolution of seconds (previouslly minutes). - * allow for empty inventories, this is now a warning and not an error (for those using localhost and cloud modules). - * sped up YAML parsing in ansible by up to 25% by switching to CParser loader. -* new filters: - * ternary: allows for trueval/falseval assignement dependint on conditional - * cartesian: returns the cartesian product of 2 lists - * to_uuid: given a string it will return an ansible domain specific UUID - * checksum: uses the ansible internal checksum to return a hash from a string - * hash: get a hash from a string (md5, sha1, etc) - * password_hash: get a hash form as string that can be used as a password in the user module (and others) - * A whole set of ip/network manipulation filters: ipaddr,ipwrap,ipv4,ipv6ipsubnet,nthhost,hwaddr,macaddr +New Modules: -* new lookup plugins (allow fetching data for use in plays): - * dig: does dns resolution and returns IPs. - * url: allows pulling data from a url. +* cryptab: manages linux encrypted block devices +* gce_img: for utilizing GCE image resources +* gluster_volume: manage glusterfs volumes +* haproxy: for the load balancer of same name +* known_hosts: manages the ssh known_hosts file +* lxc_container: manage lxc containers +* patch: allows for patching files on target systems +* pkg5: installing and uninstalling packages on Solaris +* pkg5_publisher: manages Solaris pkg5 repository configuration +* postgresql_ext: manage postgresql extensions +* snmp_facts: gather facts via snmp +* svc: manages daemontools based services +* uptimerobot: manage monitoring with this service -* new callback plugins: +New Filters: + +* ternary: allows for trueval/falseval assignement dependint on conditional +* cartesian: returns the cartesian product of 2 lists +* to_uuid: given a string it will return an ansible domain specific UUID +* checksum: uses the ansible internal checksum to return a hash from a string +* hash: get a hash from a string (md5, sha1, etc) +* password_hash: get a hash form as string that can be used as a password in the user module (and others) +* A whole set of ip/network manipulation filters: ipaddr,ipwrap,ipv4,ipv6ipsubnet,nthhost,hwaddr,macaddr + +Other Notable Changes: + +* New lookup plugins: + * dig: does dns resolution and returns IPs. + * url: allows pulling data from a url. +* New callback plugins: * syslog_json: allows logging play output to a syslog network server using json format - -* new task modules: - * cryptab: manages linux encrypted block devices - * gce_img: for utilizing GCE image resources - * gluster_volume: manage glusterfs volumes - * haproxy: for the load balancer of same name - * known_hosts: manages the ssh known_hosts file - * lxc_container: manage lxc containers - * patch: allows for patching files on target systems - * pkg5: installing and uninstalling packages on Solaris - * pkg5_publisher: manages Solaris pkg5 repository configuration - * postgresql_ext: manage postgresql extensions - * snmp_facts: gather facts via snmp - * svc: manages daemontools based services - * uptimerobot: manage monitoring with this service - - -* module enhancements and notable changes - * vsphere_guest now supports deploying guests from a template - * Multiple new enhancements to the amazon web service modules: - * ec2 now applies all specified security groups when creating a new instance.
