+Mon Mar 15 08:27:33 UTC 2021 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
+
+- update to 1.5.4:
+  - ara playbook metrics: provides stats aggregated by name, path, ansible version or controller
+  - ara host metrics: provides task result stats for hosts across playbooks
+  - ara task metrics: provides duration stats aggregated by task name, action/module or path
+  - Threading is now disabled by default to avoid running into sqlite locking contention
+    For details, see: https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/issues/195
+  - The callback didn't provide a timezone for timestamps which could result in a wrong
+    interpretation by the API server. Timestamps are now provided as UTC.
+  - The hostname of the controller that ran the playbook is now recorded by ara
+  - ARA API server container images are now published to quay.io/recordsansible/ara-api
+    in addition to hub.docker.com/r/recordsansible/ara-api.
+  - The 'which' package is now installed as a dependency
+  - Removed a temporary workaround for dynaconf switching from PyYAML to ruamel.yaml
+  - Added missing information about the play when browsing details for a task result
+- switch to single build, this is a ansible plugin and cli tool
+
