minor_changes:
|
|
- inventory plugins - Inventory plugins that support caching can now use any cache plugin
|
|
shipped with Ansible.
|
|
deprecated_features:
|
|
- inventory plugins - Inventory plugins using self.cache is deprecated and will be removed
|
|
in 2.12. Inventory plugins should use self._cache as a dictionary to store results.
|
|
- cache plugins - Importing cache plugins directly is deprecated and will be removed in 2.12.
|
|
Cache plugins should use the cache_loader instead so cache options can be reconciled via
|
|
the configuration system rather than constants.
