Topics
- Allows the cli_parse module to find parser.template_path inside roles or collections when a path relative to the role/collection directory is provided.
- Fix cli_parse module to require a connection.
- Previously, the ansible.utils.ipcut filter only supported IPv6 addresses, leading to confusing error messages when used with IPv4 addresses. This fix ensures that the filter now appropriately handles both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
- Removed conditional check for deprecated ansible.netcommon.cli_parse from ansible.utils.cli_parse
- The from_xml filter returns a python dictionary instead of a json string.
- Add a wildcard mask/hostmask documentation to ipaddr filter doc page to obtain an IP address's wildcard mask/hostmask.
With this release, the minimum required version of ansible-core for this collection is 2.15.0. The last version known to be compatible with ansible-core versions below 2.15 is v4.1.0.
- Bumping requires_ansible to >=2.15.0, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now.
In the last release (v4.0.0), we bumped the minimum required netaddr version to be >=0.10.1. However, since netaddr>=0.10.1 is not yet available in many sources other than PyPI, we have temporarily added a fallback method to support the ipaddr filter with older netaddr versions with this release. Once the latest netaddr is available in all major sources, we will deprecate this support and eventually remove it.
Starting from this release, the minimum netaddr version this collection requires is >=0.10.1.
- Bumping netaddr to >=0.10.1, means that starting from this release, the minimum netaddr version this collection requires is >=0.10.1.
- This release mainly addresses the breaking changes in the netaddr library.
- With the new release of netaddr 1.0.0, the IPAddress.is_private() method has been removed and instead, the IPAddress.is_global() method has been extended to support the same functionality. This change has been reflected in the ipaddr filter plugin.
- Add support in fact_diff filter plugin to show common lines.(ansible-collections#311)
- Avoid unnecessary use of persistent connection in cli_parse, fact_diff, update_fact and validate as this action does not require a connection.
- ipv6form filter plugin - Fix to be displayed correctly.
- validate lookup plugin - Fix syntax in EXAMPLES.
- validate module - Fix syntax in EXAMPLES.
Starting from this release, the minimum ansible-core version this collection requires is 2.14.0. That last known version compatible with ansible-core<2.14 is v2.12.0.
- Bumping requires_ansible to >=2.14.0, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now.
- Fact_diff filter plugin - Add fact_diff filter plugin. (ansible-collections#78).
- fact_diff - Find the difference between currently set facts
- Add ipcut filter plugin.(ansible-collections#251)
- Add ipv6form filter plugin.(ansible-collections#230)
- Validate input for ipv4_hex(ansible-collections#281)
- ipcut - This filter is designed to get 1st or last few bits of IP address.
- ipv6form - This filter is designed to convert ipv6 address in different formats. For example expand, compressetc.
- validate - Add option check_format for the jsonschema engine to disable JSON Schema format checking.
- validate - Add support for JSON Schema draft 2019-09 and 2020-12 as well as automatically choosing the draft from the $schema field of the criteria.
- to_xml - Added support to disable xml declartion with full_document flag.
- mac - reorganize regexes to work around 3.11 regex changes. (ansible-collections#231)
- to_xml - Added support for using spaces to indent an XML doc via a new indent parameter.
- Accept int input for ipaddr filters.
- Add support for content template parser
- Added new connection base class similar to ansible.netcommon's NetworkConnectionBase without the network-specific option masking (ansible-collections#213).
- ipsubnet - the index parameter should only ever be an integer if it is provided. this changes the argument type from str to int.
- Fix filters to only raise AnsibleFilterError exceptions (ansible-collections#209).
- ipsubnet - interacting with large subnets could cause performance constraints. the result would be the system would appear to hang while it built out a list of all possible subnets or stepped through all possible subnets one at a time. when sending a prefix that is a supernet of the passed in network the behavior wasn't consistent. this now returns an AnsibleFilterError in that scenario across all python releases. (ansible-collections#132)
