====================================== Ansible Utils Collection Release Notes ====================================== .. contents:: Topics v5.1.2 ====== Bugfixes -------- - keep_keys - Fixes keep_keys filter to retain the entire node when a key match occurs, rather than just the leaf node values. v5.1.1 ====== Bugfixes -------- - keep_keys - Fixes issue where all keys are removed when data is passed in as a dict. v5.1.0 ====== Minor Changes ------------- - 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. Documentation Changes --------------------- - Add a wildcard mask/hostmask documentation to ipaddr filter doc page to obtain an IP address's wildcard mask/hostmask. v5.0.0 ====== Release Summary --------------- 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. Major Changes ------------- - Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.15.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. v4.1.0 ====== Release Summary --------------- 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. v4.0.0 ====== Release Summary --------------- Starting from this release, the minimum `netaddr` version this collection requires is `>=0.10.1`. Major Changes ------------- - 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. v3.1.0 ====== Minor Changes ------------- - Add support in fact_diff filter plugin to show common lines.(https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/311) Bugfixes -------- - Avoid unnecessary use of persistent connection in `cli_parse`, `fact_diff`, `update_fact` and `validate` as this action does not require a connection. Documentation Changes --------------------- - ipv6form filter plugin - Fix to be displayed correctly. - validate lookup plugin - Fix syntax in EXAMPLES. - validate module - Fix syntax in EXAMPLES. v3.0.0 ====== Release Summary --------------- 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`. Major Changes ------------- - Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. v2.12.0 ======= Minor Changes ------------- - Fact_diff filter plugin - Add fact_diff filter plugin. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/78). New Plugins ----------- Filter ~~~~~~ - fact_diff - Find the difference between currently set facts v2.11.0 ======= Minor Changes ------------- - Add ipcut filter plugin.(https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/251) - Add ipv6form filter plugin.(https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/230) Bugfixes -------- - Validate input for ipv4_hex(https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/281) New Plugins ----------- Filter ~~~~~~ - 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. v2.10.4 ======= v2.10.3 ======= v2.10.2 ======= Minor Changes ------------- - 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. v2.10.1 ======= v2.10.0 ======= v2.9.0 ====== Minor Changes ------------- - to_xml - Added support to disable xml declartion with full_document flag.

Bugfixes -------- - Accept int input for ipaddr filters. v2.7.0 ====== Minor Changes ------------- - Add support for content template parser - Added new connection base class similar to ansible.netcommon's NetworkConnectionBase without the network-specific option masking (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/pull/213). - ipsubnet - the index parameter should only ever be an integer if it is provided. this changes the argument type from str to int. Bugfixes -------- - Fix filters to only raise AnsibleFilterError exceptions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/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.
