v6.0.0 (2021-12-22)

Changes

community.vmware/#179 changed the semantics of vmware_guest's customvalues parameter and added advanced_settings.
As hamburger_software.vmware_ubuntu_cloud_image exposes customvalues, some usages will have to be adjusted.

For example, if you used

  customvalues:
    - key: disk.EnableUUID
      value: 'TRUE'

to set configuration file parameters, change it to the new parameter

  advanced_settings:
    - key: disk.EnableUUID
      value: 'TRUE'

customvalues is still present, see the vSphere documentation of custom attributes and VM configuration file parameters for the difference between both parameters.

advanced_settings was added to vmware_guest in the 1.8.0 release of the community.vmware collection.
This release is part of the Ansible community package 3.2.0, which is based on ansible-core 2.10.7 (see build data).

For that reason, the minimum Ansible version of this role was raised to 2.10.7.
