Add new Role Argument Spec feature that will allow a role to define an argument spec to be used in validating variables used by the role.
Bump the minimum Python version requirement for the controller to Python 3.8. There will be no breaking changes to this release, however ansible-core will only be packaged for Python 3.8+. ansible-core==2.12 will include breaking changes requiring at least Python 3.8.
