minor_changes: |
Connection plugins have been standardized to allow use of ``ansible_<conn-type>_user``
and ``ansible_<conn-type>_password`` variables. Variables such as
``ansible_<conn-type>_pass`` and ``ansible_<conn-type>_username`` are treated
with lower priority than the standardized names and may be deprecated in the
future. In general, the ``ansible_user`` and ``ansible_password`` vars should
be used unless there is a reason to use the connection-specific variables.
