Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

ec2_instance - instance wait for state behaviour has changed. If plays require the old behavior of waiting for the instance monitoring status to become OK when launching a new instance, the action will need to specify state: started (#481).
ec2_snapshot - support for waiting indefinitely has been dropped, new default is 10 minutes (#356).
ec2_vol_info - return attachment_set is now a list of attachments with Multi-Attach support on disk. (#362).
ec2_vpc_dhcp_option - The module has been refactored to use boto3. Keys and value types returned by the module are now consistent, which is a change from the previous behaviour. A purge_tags option has been added, which defaults to True. (#252)
ec2_vpc_dhcp_option_info - Now preserves case for tag keys in return value. (#252)
module_utils.core - The boto3 switch has been removed from the region parameter (#287).
module_utils/compat - vendored copy of ipaddress removed (#461).
module_utils/core - updated the scrub_none_parameters function so that descend_into_lists is set to True by default (#297).

Deprecated Features

ec2 - the boto based ec2 module has been deprecated in favour of the boto3 based ec2_instance module. The ec2 module will be removed in release 4.0.0 (#424).
ec2_vpc_dhcp_option - The new_config return key has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It will be replaced by dhcp_config. Both values are returned in the interim. (#252)

ec2_ami - Fix ami issue when creating an ami with no_device parameter (#386)
ec2_instance - ec2_instance was waiting on EC2 instance monitoring status to be OK when launching a new instance. This could cause a play to wait multiple minutes for AWS's monitoring to complete status checks (#481).
ec2_snapshot - Fix snapshot issue when capturing a snapshot of a volume without tags (#383)
ec2_vol - Fixes changed status when modify_volume is used, but no new disk is being attached. The module incorrectly reported that no change had occurred even when disks had been modified (iops, throughput, type, etc.). (#482).
ec2_vol - fix iops setting and enforce iops/throughput parameters usage (#334)
inventory - include_filters won't be ignored anymore if filters is not set (#457).

s3_bucket - Ceph compatibility: treat error code NoSuchTagSetError used by Ceph synonymously to NoSuchTagSet used by AWS

v1.1.0

Major Changes

ec2 module_utils - The AWSRetry decorator no longer catches NotFound exceptions by default. NotFound exceptions need to be explicitly added using catch_extra_error_codes. Some AWS modules may see an increase in transient failures due to AWS''s eventual consistency model.
