Changelog

2.4

Major Changes

• Support for Python-2.4 and Python-2.5 on the managed system's side was dropped. If you need to manage a system that ships with Python-2.4 or Python-2.5, you'll need to install Python-2.6 or better on the managed system or run Ansible-2.3 until you can upgrade the system.
• New import/include keywords to replace the old bare include directives. The use of static: {yes|no} on such includes is now deprecated.
  • Using import_* (import_playbook, import_tasks, import_role) directives are static.
  • Using include_* (include_tasks, include_role) directives are dynamic.
    This is done to avoid collisions and possible security issues as facts come from the remote targets and they might be compromised.
• New order play level keyword that allows the user to change the order in which Ansible processes hosts when dispatching tasks.
• Users can now set group merge priority for groups of the same depth (parent child relationship), using the new ansible_group_priority variable, when values are the same or don't exist it will fallback to the previous sorting by name'.
• Inventory has been revamped:

• Inventory classes have been split to allow for better management and deduplication
• Logic that each inventory source duplicated is now common and pushed up to reconciliation
• VariableManager has been updated for better interaction with inventory
• Updated CLI with helper method to initialize base objects for plays
• New inventory plugins for creating inventory
• Old inventory formats are still supported via plugins
• Inline host_list is also an inventory plugin, an example alternative advanced_host_list is also provided (it supports ranges)
• New configuration option to list enabled plugins and precedence order [inventory]enable_plugins in ansible.cfg
• vars_plugins have been reworked, they are now run from Vars manager and API has changed (need docs)
• Loading group_vars/host_vars is now a vars plugin and can be overridden
• It is now possible to specify mulitple inventory sources in the command line (-i /etc/hosts1 -i /opt/hosts2)
• Inventory plugins can use the cache plugin (i.e. virtualbox) and is affected by meta: refresh_inventory
• Group variable precedence is now configurable via new 'precedence' option in ansible.cfg (needs docs)
• Improved warnings and error messages across the board

• Configuration has been changed from a hardcoded listing in the constants module to dynamically loaded from yaml definitions

• Also added an ansible-config CLI to allow for listing config options and dumping current config (including origin)
• TODO: build upon this to add many features detailed in ansible-config proposal ansible-config ansible/proposals#35

• Windows modules now support the use of multiple shared module_utils files in the form of Powershell modules (.psm1), via Requires -Module Ansible.ModuleUtils.Whatever.psm1
• Python module argument_spec now supports custom validation logic by accepting a callable as the type argument.
• Windows become_method: runas is no longer marked experimental
• Windows become_method: runas now works across all authtypes and will auto-elevate under UAC if WinRM user has "Act as part of the operating system" privilege

Deprecations

• The behaviour when specifying --tags (or --skip-tags) multiple times on the command line
  has changed so that the tags are merged together by default. See the
  documentation for how to temporarily use the old behaviour if needed:
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.htmlmerge-multiple-cli-tags
• The fetch module's validate_md5 parameter has been deprecated and will be
  removed in 2.8. If you wish to disable post-validation of the downloaded
  file, use validate_checksum instead.
• Those using ansible as a library should note that the ansible.vars.unsafe_proxy
  module is deprecated and slated to go away in 2.8. The functionality has been
  moved to ansible.utils.unsafe_proxy to avoid a circular import.
• The win_get_url module has the dictionary 'win_get_url' in its results deprecated,
  its content is now also available directly in the resulting output, like other modules.
• Previously deprecated 'hostfile' config settings have been 're-deprecated' as before the code did not warn about deprecated configuration settings, but it does now.
