The --new-vault-password-file option works the same as
--vault-password-file but applies only to rekeying (when
--vault-password-file sets the old password). Also update the manpage
to document these options more fully.
`if method in dir(self):` is very inefficient:
- it must construct a list object listing all the object attributes & methods
- it must then perform a O(N) linear scan of that list
Replace it with the idiomatic `if hasattr(self, method):`, which is a
O(1) expected time hash lookup.
Should fix#11981.
Apart from ansible-vault create, every vault subcommand is happy to deal
with multiple filenames, so we can check that there's at least one, and
make create check separately that there aren't any extra.
* Add exception handling when running PowerShell modules to provide exception message and stack trace.
* Enable strict mode for all PowerShell modules and internal commands.
* Update common PowerShell code to fix strict mode errors.
* Fix an issue with Set-Attr where it would not replace an existing property if already set.
* Add tests for exception handling using modified win_ping modules.
* Fixes hostvar serialization issue (#12005)
* Fixes regression in include_vars from within a role (#9498), where
we had the precedence order for vars_cache (include_vars, set_fact)
incorrectly before role vars.
* Fixes another bug in which vars loaded from files in the format of
a list instead of dictionary would cause a failure.

Now we accept IPv6 addresses _with port numbers_ only in the standard
[xxx]:NN notation (though bare IPv6 addresses may be given, as before,
and non-IPv6 addresses may also be placed in square brackets), and any
other host identifiers (IPv4/hostname/host pattern) as before, with an
optional :NN suffix.
The new code parses INI-format inventory files in a single pass using a
well-documented state machine that reports precise errors and eliminates
the duplications and inconsistencies and outright errors in the earlier
three-phase parsing code (e.g. three ways to skip comments). It is also
much easier now to follow what decisions are being taken on the basis of
the parsed data. The comments point out various potential improvements,
particularly in the area of consistent IPv6 handling.
On the ornate marble tombstone of the old code, the following
inscription is one last baffling memento from a bygone age:
- def _before_comment(self, msg):
- ''' what's the part of a string before a comment? '''
- msg = msg.replace("\#","**NOT_A_COMMENT**")
- msg = msg.split("#")[0]
- msg = msg.replace("**NOT_A_COMMENT**","#")
- return msg
