0.6 "Cabo" ------------ pending
playbooks:
* support to tag tasks and includes and use --tags in playbook CLI
* playbooks can now include other playbooks (example/playbooks/nested_playbooks.yml)
* vars_files now usable with with_items, provided file paths don't contain host specific facts
* error reporting if with_items value is unbound
* with_items no longer creates lots of tasks, creates one task that makes multiple calls
* can use host_specific facts inside with_items (see above)
* at the top level of a playbook, set 'gather_facts: False' to skip fact gathering
* first_available_file and with_items used together will now raise an error
* to catch typos, like 'var' for 'vars', playbooks and tasks now yell on invalid parameters
* automatically load (directory_of_inventory_file)/group_vars/groupname and /host_vars/hostname in vars_files
* playbook is now colorized, set ANSIBLE_NOCOLOR=1 if you do not like this, does not colorize if not a TTY
* hostvars now preserved between plays (regression in 0.5 from 0.4), useful for sharing vars in multinode configs
inventory:
* inventory file can use a line of the form base[beg:end]tail to define a
set of hosts, where [beg:end] defines a numerical range. 'beg' can be a
a string padded with zero(s) to the left. If so provided, it acts as
a formatting hint during hostname expansion. The hint must be confirmed
by having an 'end' that has the same length as 'beg'
* groups variable available as a hash to return the hosts in each group name
* in YAML inventory, hosts can list their groups in inverted order now also (see tests/yaml_hosts)
* YAML inventory is deprecated and will be removed in 0.7
* ec2 inventory script
* support ranges of hosts in the host file
modules:
* fetch module now does not fail a system when requesting file paths (ex: logs) that don't exist
* apt module now takes an optional install-recommends=yes|no (default yes)
* fixes to the return codes of the copy module
* copy module takes a remote md5sum to avoid large file transfer
* when sudoing to root, still use /etc/ansible/setup as the metadata path, as if root
* support to tag tasks and includes and use --tags in playbook CLI
* various user and group module fixes (error handling, etc)
* apt module now takes an optional force parameter
* slightly better psychic service status handling for the service module
* cowsay support on Ubuntu
* playbooks can now include other playbooks (example/playbooks/nested_playbooks.yml)
* paramiko is now only imported if needed when running from source checkout
* fetch module fixes for SSH connection type
* modules now consistently all take yes/no for boolean parameters (some accepted true/false)
* in YAML inventory, hosts can list their groups in inverted order now also (see tests/yaml_hosts)
* modules now consistently all take yes/no for boolean parameters (and DWIM on true/false/1/0/y/n/etc)
* setup module no longer saves to disk, template module now only used in playbooks
* setup module no longer needs to run twice per playbook
* vars_files now usable with with_items, provided file paths don't contain host specific facts
* error reporting if with_items value is unbound
* with_items no longer creates lots of tasks, creates one task that makes multiple calls
* can use host_specific facts inside with_items (see above)
* at the top level of a playbook, set 'gather_facts: False' to skip fact gathering
* first_available_file and with_items used together will now raise an error
* ec2 inventory script
* mount module
* apt module now passes DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
* to catch typos, like 'var' for 'vars', playbooks and tasks now yell on invalid parameters
* automatically load (directory_of_inventory_file)/group_vars/groupname and /host_vars/hostname in vars_files
* mount module (manages active mounts + fstab)
* setup module fixes if no ipv6 support
* internals: template in common module boilerplate, also causes less SSH operations when used
* git module fixes
* various ssh connection fixes for old Ubuntu clients
* setup module overhaul, more modular
* minor caching logic added to inventory to reduce hammering of inventory scripts.
* ./hacking/test-module now supports options like ansible takes and has a debugger mode
* playbook is now colorized, set ANSIBLE_NOCOLOR=1 if you do not like this, does not colorize if not a TTY
* support ranges of hosts in the host file
* hostvars now preserved between plays (regression in 0.5 from 0.4), useful for sharing vars in multinode configs
* MySQL and PostgreSQL modules for user and db management
* vars_prompt now supports private password entry (see examples/playbooks/prompts.yml)
internals:
* when sudoing to root, still use /etc/ansible/setup as the metadata path, as if root
* paramiko is now only imported if needed when running from source checkout
* cowsay support on Ubuntu
* various ssh connection fixes for old Ubuntu clients
* ./hacking/test-module now supports options like ansible takes and has a debugger mode
* sudoing to a user other than root now works more seamlessly (uses /tmp, avoids umask issues)
