Plugins
=======
* Ansible no longer defaults to the ``paramiko`` connection plugin when using macOS as the control node. Ansible will now use the ``ssh`` connection plugin by default on a macOS control node.

If you are using password authentication, you will need to install ``sshpass`` when using the ``ssh`` connection plugin. Or you can explicitly set the connection type to ``paramiko`` to maintain the pre-2.8 behavior on macOS.
* Connection plugins have been standardized to allow use of ``ansible_<conn-type>_user``
and ``ansible_<conn-type>_password`` variables. Variables such as
``ansible_<conn-type>_pass`` and ``ansible_<conn-type>_username`` are treated
