This is the 1.7.0 stable release of ara.

It features a refresh of the built-in web interface with the upgrade
from bootstrap 4.6.0 to 5.3.0.

It lifts the supported version of django up to the latest LTS, 4.2, and
raises the minimum version of python to >=3.8 as a result.

There's also bug fixes and new features.

Changes since 1.6.1:

UI
--
Boostrap and CSS:

- Update bootstrap CSS from 4.6.0 to 5.3.0 and fix broken layout and
  components as a result of the update
- Removed separate light/dark themes via bootstrap-darkly and
  bootstrap-flatly: bootstrap 5.3 features a new built-in dark theme
- Re-worked the dark/light theme selection to match the new bootstrap
  built-in dark theme including pygments highlighting for pretty-printed
  output
- Removed jquery, it is no longer required with bootstrap
- Re-worked implementation of file line highlighting since it relied on
  jquery
- Fixed tooltip implementation (i.e, for task tags) since the
  implementation in bootstrap had changed

Site-wide minor cleanups and improvements:

- Headers and font size made generally larger and more consistent
- Improved the about and CLI argument modals
- Improved display for the report and CLI argument buttons
- Improved the playbook report header card
- Adjusted search accordions to match new bootstrap theme
- Improvements to responsiveness of layout at smaller (e.g, mobile)
  resolutions
- Truncate excessively long controller hostnames such that they do not
  needlessly take up all the table's available width
- Added support for colored diff when viewing task results
- Fixed the API link when viewing tasks to properly direct to
  /api/v1/tasks

Django templating:

- Large chunks of templating were moved out to partials/tables and
  partials/search in order to improve readability.
- Round of template cleanups and fixes as reported by djlint
- Will continue to be a work in progress to simplify and standardize
  templates.

API Server
----------

- Raised the requirement on django from >=3.2,<3.3 to >=3.2,<4.3 to
  allow installation with the latest LTS release of django.
- Raised the requirement on python from >=3.6 to >=3.8 to accomodate
  django 4.2.
- Ignored Django warning about the lack of a STATIC_ROOT directory.
  ara uses whitenoise for serving static files which makes the warning
  superfluous. (#492)

Ansible callback plugin
-----------------------

- Added ARA_RECORD_CONTROLLER_NAME and ARA_RECORD_USER_NAME settings to
  override the automatic detection of the controller hostname and user
  name for the specified values.
- Added ARA_RECORD_TASK_CONTENT which defaults to true but can be set to
  false to prevent ara from recording the task content for use cases
  where it is not important or to avoid leaking sensitive information.

- containers: updated fedora base image from 36 to 38
