- use bytes for file operations
- better handling of empty/null sources
- added test target that skips networking modules
- now var manager loads play group/host_vars independant from inventory

- fix for plugin loader to always add original_path, even when not using all()
- fix py3 issues
- added --inventory as clearer option
- return name when stringifying host objects
- ajdust checks to code moving
* reworked vars and vars precedence
- vars plugins now load group/host_vars dirs
- precedence for host vars is now configurable
- vars_plugins been reworked
- removed unused vars cache
- removed _gathered_facts as we are not keeping info in host anymore
- cleaned up tests
- fixed ansible-pull to work with new inventory
- removed version added notation to please rst check
- inventory in config relative to config
- ensures full paths on passed inventories
* implicit localhost connection local
* ansible-doc -s is supposed to output a sample snippet of how you could
add the module into a playbook. These changes update the style:
* Use yaml mappings instead of key=value
* Use the module name directly instead of action: modulename
* Fixes a bug when displaying option descritpions which are yaml strings
instead of lists.
This fixes in code the bad formatting reported in #24201
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
Made ansible-doc more plugin agnostic
We can have docs in lookup, callback, connectionm strategy, etc
Use first docstring and make pepizis happy
generalized module_docs to plugin_docs
documented cartesian, ssh, default, jsonfile, etc as examples
changed lack of docs to warning when listing
made smarter about bad docstrings
better blacklisting
added handling of options/config/envs/etc
move blacklist to find_plugins, only need once
Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
Implement tag and skip_tag handling in the CLI() class. Change tag and
skip_tag command line options to be accepted multiple times on the CLI
and add them together rather than overwrite.
* Make it configurable whether to merge or overwrite multiple --tags arguments
* Make the base CLI class an abstractbaseclass so we can implement
functionality in parse() but still make subclasses implement it.
* Deprecate the overwrite feature of --tags with a message that the
default will change in 2.4 and go away in 2.5.
* Add documentation for merge_multiple_cli_flags
* Fix galaxy search so its tags argument does not conflict with generic tags
* Unit tests and more integration tests for tags
* attempt #11 to role_include
* fixes from jimi-c
* do not override load_data, move all to load
* removed debugging
* implemented tasks_from parameter, must break cache
* fixed issue with cache and tasks_from
* make resolution of from_tasks prioritize literal
* avoid role dependency dedupe when include_role
* fixed role deps and handlers are now loaded
* simplified code, enabled k=v parsing
used example from jimi-c
* load role defaults for task when include_role
* fixed issue with from_Tasks overriding all subdirs
* corrected priority order of main candidates
* made tasks_from a more generic interface to roles
* fix block inheritance and handler order
* allow vars: clause into included role
* pull vars already processed vs from raw data
* fix from jimi-c blocks i broke
* added back append for dynamic includes
* only allow for basename in from parameter
* fix for docs when no default
* fixed notes
* added include_role to changelog
Fixes for these are either rewriting to get rid of the need for the
functions or using six.moves to get equivalent functions for both
python2 and python3
Replace .iteritems() with six.iteritems() everywhere except in
module_utils (because there's no 'six' on the remote host). And except
in lib/ansible/galaxy/data/metadata_template.j2, because I'm not sure
six is available there.
now version_added < 1.3 does not get shown, up from 1.0
option's version_added is also now filterd against this threshold
module version_added is more prominent
exaples now uses pure rst instead of intermingled with html formatting
aliases now shown in description for options
bad version fields now throw warnings instead of exceptions
ansible-doc errors now show traceback in very very verbose mode, for easier debugging
