Ansible Changes By Release
==========================
0.7 "Panama" -- release pending
0.7 "Panama" -- release pending -- I can barely see the roadmap from the heat coming off of it.
Module changes:
* I can barely see the roadmap from the heat coming off of it.
* login_unix_socket option for mysql user and database modules (see PR #781 for doc notes)
* new modules -- pip, easy_install, apt_repository, supervisorctl
* ansible --version will now give branch/SHA information if running from git
* error handling for setup module when SELinux is in a weird state
* misc yum module fixes
* better sudo permissions when encountering different umasks
* YAML syntax errors detected and show where the problem is
* better changed=True/False detection in user module on older Linux distros
* when using paramiko and SFTP is not accessible, do not traceback, but return a nice human readable msg
* nicer errors from modules when arguments are not key=value
* backup option on copy (backup=yes)
* file module will not recurse on directory properties
* yum module now workable without having repoquery installed, but doesn't support comparisons or list= if so
* setup module now detects interfaces with aliases
* better handling of VM guest type detection in setup module
* new module boilerplate code to check for mutually required arguments, arguments required together, exclusive args
* add pattern= as a paramter to the service module (for init scripts that don't do status, or do poor status)
* various fixes to mysql & postresql modules
Core changes:
* ansible --version will now give branch/SHA information if running from git
* better sudo permissions when encountering different umasks
* when using paramiko and SFTP is not accessible, do not traceback, but return a nice human readable msg
* use -vvv for extreme debug levels. -v gives more playbook output as before
* -vv shows module arguments to all module calls (and maybe some other things later)
* if you ctrl+c a playbook it won't traceback
* backup option on copy (backup=yes)
* --version shows git information if running from git
* file module will not recurse on directory properties
* vars_prompt now has encryption options (see examples/playbooks/prompts.yml)
* yum module now workable without having repoquery installed, but doesn't support comparisons or list= if so
* don't pass "--" to sudo to work on older EL5
* allow variables in parameterized task include parameters (regression)
* make remote_md5 internal function work with non-bash shells
* allow user to be passed in via --extra-vars (regression)
* add ability to store the result of any command in a register (see examples/playbooks/register_logic.yml)
* add --limit option, which can be used to further confine the pattern given in ansible-playbooks
* setup module now detects interfaces with aliases
* new 'ansible_all_ipv4_addresses' and 'ansible_all_ipv6_addresses' facts -- which are simple lists
* better handling of VM guest type detection in setup module
* adds ranged patterns like dbservers[0-49] for usage with patterns or --limit
* -u and user: defaults to current user, rather than root, override as before
* new module boilerplate code to check for mutually required arguments, arguments required together, exclusive args
* /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg and ~/ansible.cfg now available to set default values and other things
* (developers) ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES=1 can be used in debugging (envrionment variable)
* (developers) connection types are now plugins
* (developers) callbacks can now be extended via plugins
Playbooks:
* YAML syntax errors detected and show where the problem is
* if you ctrl+c a playbook it won't traceback (usually)
* vars_prompt now has encryption options (see examples/playbooks/prompts.yml)
* allow variables in parameterized task include parameters (regression)
* add ability to store the result of any command in a register (see examples/playbooks/register_logic.yml)
* --list-hosts to show what hosts are included in each play of a playbook
* ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES=1 can be used in debugging (envrionment variable)
* add pattern= as a paramter to the service module
* various fixes to mysql & postresql modules
* fix a variable ordering issue that could affect vars_files with selective file source lists
* adds 'delegate_to' for a task, which can be used to signal outage windows and load balancers on behalf of hosts
* adds 'serial' to playbook, allowing you to specify how many hosts can be processing a playbook at one time (default 0=all)
* fix a variable ordering issue that could affect vars_files with selective file source lists
* callbacks can now be extended via plugins
