ansible/ansible.changes

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 30 22:45:57 UTC 2015 - boris@steki.net

- updated to version 1.9.0.1
  * Added kerberos support to winrm connection plugin.
  * Tags rehaul: added 'all', 'always', 'untagged' and 'tagged' special
    tags and normalized tag resolution.  Added tag information to
    --list-tasks and new --list-tags option.
  * Privilege Escalation generalization, new 'Become' system and variables
    now will handle existing and new methods.  Sudo and su have been kept
    for backwards compatibility.  New methods pbrun and pfexec in 'alpha'
    state, planned adding 'runas' for winrm connection plugin.
  * Improved ssh connection error reporting, now you get back the specific
    message from ssh.
  * Added facility to document task module return values for registered
    vars, both for ansible-doc and the docsite.  Documented copy, stats and
    acl modules, the rest must be updated individually (we will start doing
    so incrementally).
  * Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more
    efficiently.  For some use cases this can lead to dramatic improvements
    in startup time.
  * Overhaul of the checksum system, now supports more systems and more
    cases more reliably and uniformly.
  * Fix skipped tasks to not display their parameters if no_log is specified.
  * Many fixes to unicode support, standarized functions to make it easier
    to add to input/output boundries.
  * Added travis integration to github for basic tests, this should speed
    up ticket triage and merging.
  * environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is
    inhertited by tasks, which can still override it.
  * expanded facts and OS/distribution support for existing facts and
    improved performance with pypy.
  * new 'wantlist' option to lookups allows for selecting a list typed
    variable vs a command delimited string as the return.
  * the shared module code for file backups now uses a timestamp resolution
    of seconds (previouslly minutes).
  * allow for empty inventories, this is now a warning and not an error
   (for those using localhost and cloud modules).
  * sped up YAML parsing in ansible by up to 25% by switching to CParser loader.

  * no_log parameter now surpressess data from callbacks/output as well as syslog
  * ansible-galaxy install -f requirements.yml allows advanced options and installs
    from non-galaxy SCM sources and tarballs.
  * command_warnings feature will warn about when usage of the shell/command module
    can be simplified to use core modules - this can be enabled in ansible.cfg
  * new omit value can be used to leave off a parameter when not set, like so
    module_name: a=1 b={{ c | default(omit) }}, would not pass value for b (not even
    an empty value) if c was not set.
  * developers: 'baby JSON' in module responses, originally intended for writing modules
    in bash, is removed as a feature to simplify logic, script module remains available
    for running bash scripts.
  * async jobs started in "fire & forget" mode can now be checked on at a later time.
  * added ability to subcategorize modules for docs.ansible.com
  * added ability for shipped modules to have aliases with symlinks
  * added ability to deprecate older modules by starting with "_" and
    including "deprecated: message why" in module docs

 + New Modules:
  * cloud: rax_cdb - manages Rackspace Cloud Database instances
  * cloud: rax_cdb_database - manages Rackspace Cloud Databases
  * cloud: rax_cdb_user - manages Rackspace Cloud Database users
  * monitoring: zabbix_maintaince - handles outage windows with Zabbix
  * monitoring: bigpanda - support for bigpanda
  * net_infrastructure: a10_server - manages server objects on A10 devices
  * net_infrastructure: a10_service_group - manages service group objects on A10 devices
  * net_infrastructure: a10_virtual_server - manages virtual server objects on A10 devices
  * system: getent - read getent databases

 + Some other notable changes:
  * added the ability to set "instance filters" in the ec2.ini to limit results
    from the inventory plugin.
  * upgrades for various variable precedence items and parsing related items
  * added a new "follow" parameter to the file and copy modules, which allows
    actions to be taken on the target of a symlink rather than the symlink itself.
  * if a module should ever traceback, it will return a standard error, catchable
    by ignore_errors, versus an 'unreachable'
  * ec2_lc: added support for multiple new parameters like kernel_id, ramdisk_id and ebs_optimized.
  * ec2_elb_lb: added support for the connection_draining_timeout and cross_az_load_balancing options.
  * support for symbolic representations (ie. u+rw) for file permission modes (file/copy/template modules etc.).
  * docker: Added support for specifying the net type of the container.
  * docker: support for specifying read-only volumes.
  * docker: support for specifying the API version to use for the remote connection.
  * openstack modules: various improvements
  * irc: ssl support for the notification module
  * npm: fix flags passed to package installation
  * windows: improved error handling
  * setup: additional facts on System Z
  * apt_repository: certificate validation can be disabled if requested
  * pagerduty module: misc improvements
  * ec2_lc: public_ip boolean configurable in launch configurations
  * ec2_asg: fixes related to proper termination of an autoscaling group

  * can set ansible_sudo_exe as an inventory variable which allows specifying
    a different sudo (or equivalent) command
  * git module: Submodule handling has changed.  Previously if you used the
    "recursive" parameter to handle submodules, ansible would track the
    submodule upstream's head revision.  This has been changed to checkout the
    version of the submodule specified in the superproject's git repository.
    This is inline with what git submodule update does.  If you want the old
    behaviour use the new module parameter track_submodules=yes
  * Checksumming of transferred files has been made more portable and now uses
    the sha1 algorithm instead of md5 to be compatible with FIPS-140.
  + As a small side effect, the fetch module no longer returns a useful value
      in remote_md5.  If you need a replacement, switch to using remote_checksum
    which returns the sha1sum of the remote file.
 * ansible-doc CLI tool contains various improvements for working with different terminals

  Highlighted new features:
  + accelerated mode: An enhanced fireball mode that requires zero 
    bootstrapping and fewer requirements plus adds capabilities 
    like sudo commands.
  + role defaults: Allows roles to define a set of variables at the 
    lowest priority. These variables can be overridden by any 
    other variable.
  + new /etc/ansible/facts.d allows JSON or INI-style facts to be 
    provided from the remote node, and supports executable fact 
    programs in this dir. Files must end in *.fact.
  + added the ability to make undefined template variables raise 
    errors (see ansible.cfg)
  + (DOCS PENDING) sudo: True/False and sudo_user: True/False can be 
    set at include and role level

  + external inventory scripts may now return host variables in one 
    pass, which allows them to be much more efficient for large 
    numbers of hosts
  + if --forks exceeds the numbers of hosts, it will be automatically 
    reduced. Set forks to 0 and you get "as many forks as I have 
    hosts" out of the box.
  + enabled error_on_undefined_vars by default, which will make 
    errors in playbooks more obvious
  + role dependencies -- one role can now pull in another, with 
    parameters of its own.
  + added the ability to have tasks execute even during a check 
    run (always_run).
  + added the ability to set the maximum failure percentage for a 
    group of hosts.
