1.7.3

1.7.3
@dmsimard dmsimard tagged this 25 Aug 22:01 
1.7.3 is a maintenance release which adds a few new features.

It includes minor changes as a result of the project migration from
GitHub to Codeberg.

The source repository now lives at:
https://codeberg.org/ansible-community/ara

The repository on GitHub remains as a mirror for now.

Changes since 1.7.2:

Server
------

- Added tzdata/zoneinfo to server requirements for compatibility across versions of python and django
- Bumped the minimum version of django LTS from 3.2 to 4.2 (up to 5.2)

UI
--

- Added an auto refresh arrow at the top right, allowing automatic refreshes of the pages at the selected duration
- Clicking on the number of hosts for a playbook on the playbooks page should now correctly display the results
  for each host of that playbook

API client
----------

- Avoid using ARA_API_USERNAME and ARA_API_PASSWORD if they are set to
  empty values

Callback
--------

- Added support for specifying 'all' to ARA_IGNORED_FACTS to prevent ara from recording any host facts

New action plugin: ara_label
----------------------------

This new module provides the ability to manipulate ara's labels on playbooks.
Excerpt from the documentation:

```
- name: Add a static label to this playbook (the one that is running)
  # Note: By default Ansible will run this task on every host.
  # Consider the use case and declare 'run_once: true' when there is no need to
  # run this task more than once.
  # This might sound obvious but it avoids updating the same labels 100 times
  # if there are 100 hosts, incurring a performance penalty needlessly.
  run_once: true
  ara_label:
    state: present
    labels:
      - state:running

- name: Add dynamically templated labels to this playbook
  ara_label:
    state: present
    labels:
      - "git:{{ lookup('git -C {{ playbook_dir }} rev-parse HEAD') }}"
      - "os:{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{ ansible_distribution_version }}"

- name: Add labels to a specific playbook
  ara_label:
    state: present
    playbook_id: 1
    labels:
      - state:deployed

- name: Remove labels from the running playbook (if they exist)
  ara_label:
    state: absent
    labels:
      - state:running
```

Maintenance
-----------

- Completed migration from GitHub to Codeberg (links, CI jobs, etc.)
- Bumped CI and container images to Fedora 41
- Bumped CI to the latest versions of ansible (11) and ansible-core (2.18)

Docs
----

- Stop using sphinx's get_html_theme_path since it's been deprecated
- Updated contributor documentation to mention Codeberg
- Included a high level overview of how CI jobs work and what they do

Upgrade Notes
-------------

- There are no known migrations, deprecations or backwards-incompatible changes in this release.
- ara 1.7.3 is expected to be the last release supporting python3.8.
