Major Changes
-------------

Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- ``ansible-galaxy install`` and ``ansible-galaxy collection install|download`` - collections that declare a ``requires_ansible`` version that is not compatible with the running ansible-core version are now excluded from installation and download by default. In previous versions, ansible-galaxy would install such collections even if doing so resulted in an error at load time. To restore the previous behavior, set ``COLLECTIONS_ON_ANSIBLE_VERSION_MISMATCH`` to ``ignore`` in your configuration. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78539)
- action plugins - Actions can directly register variables at several precedence layers using the ``register_host_variables`` method on ``ActionBase``. Previously, variable registration could only be simulated by user action plugins by returning ``ansible_facts`` with insecure fact injection.
- register projections - The ``register`` task keyword allows mapping multiple variable names to Jinja expressions to transform task results and other variables. The mapping form can replace many usages of ``set_fact`` and allows order-independent chained access to other variable expressions within the same task.
- task implicit object - A new ``_task`` implicit object is available for use in ``register`` and task conditional expressions (e.g., ``failed_when``). The result of the current task can be accessed via the ``_task.result`` property, without the use of ``register``. Under a loop, ``_task.result`` is the most recently completed result and ``_task.loop_result`` provides access to accumulated loop results. The ``_task.polymorphic_result`` property provides compatibility with classic name-only ``register`` in loops. The value is the result of the most recent loop iteration, then becomes the final list loop result once the loop is complete.

amazon.aws
~~~~~~~~~~

- amazon.aws collection - ``awscli`` version has been bumped to 1.34.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2774).
- amazon.aws collection - ``botocore`` and ``boto3`` versions have been bumped to 1.35.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2774).
- ec2_security_group - Support for passing nested lists of strings to ``rules.cidr_ip`` and ``rules.cidr_ipv6`` have been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2777).
- iam_user - Support for ``iam_user`` return key has been removed; only ``user`` is now returned (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2777).
- lambda_info - Support for ``function`` has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2777).
- route53_info - Support for CamelCased lists (``ResourceRecordSets``, ``HostedZones``, ``HealthChecks``, ``CheckerIpRanges``, ``DelegationSets``, ``HealthCheck``) have been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2777).
- s3_object - Support for ``list`` mode has been removed; use ``s3_object_info`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2777).
- s3_object - Support for passing the leading ``/`` has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2777).
- s3_object_info - Support for passing ``dualstack`` and ``endpoint_url`` at the same time has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2777).

splunk.es
~~~~~~~~~

- Bumped the minimum supported Ansible version to ``>=2.17.0`` (Ansible 2.15/2.16 are EoL).
- Remove dependency on the ``ansible.netcommon`` collection. Utility functions (``remove_empties``, ``dict_diff``, ``dict_merge``) are now bundled locally, and the httpapi plugin inherits directly from ansible-core's ``HttpApiBase``.

vmware.vmware
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Replace ``ansible.module_utils._text`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware.vmware/issues/268).
- Replace ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware.vmware/issues/271).

Minor Changes
-------------

Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- DataLoader - Update ``DataLoader`` to deal exclusively in str
- PowerShell 7 - Add support for running PowerShell written modules on POSIX hosts. PowerShell modules run with the ``pwsh`` interpreter and can access the same module utils that Windows PowerShell modules can use. Some PowerShell based module utils may not be compatible due to their reliance on Windows APIs but ``Ansible.Basic.cs`` for module input and output handling works.
- PowerShell AddType Util - Will only include the debug information when ``DISPLAY_TRACEBACK`` contains ``error`` or ``always``. In the past the debug information would have been included if ``-vvv`` or higher was used but this new behavior aligns the logic with the new option added in Ansible 2.19.
- The minimum required ``setuptools`` version is now ``77.0.3``, as it is needed for the new PEP 639 license format
- ansiballz - Add tech preview to embed arbitrary files, not relying on python ``import``
- ansible-playbook - consolidated block and task loading code to remove duplicated logic (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86603).
- ansible-test - Add PowerShell support to managed containers and remotes.
- ansible-test - Add container/remote aliases for more loosely specifying managed test environments.

- ansible-test - Generate ``dist_info`` when running tests.
- ansible-test - Optimize DNF configuration for managed remote RHEL instances.
- ansible-test - Remove ``use-run-command-not-popen`` and ``use-run-command-not-os-call`` error codes from the ``validate-modules`` sanity test. These scenarios are now covered by the ``pylint`` sanity test.

- ansible-test - Use the new API endpoint for the Ansible Core CI service.
- ansible-test - add ``.winrm`` and ``.networking`` as valid JSON/YAML inventory file extensions. This should not affect any public facing code as it is used internally for inventories generated by ``ansible-test``.
- ansible-test - update galaxy_ng container to current version deployed to galaxy.ansible.com
- ansible-test acme cloud plugin - update to the 2.4.0 ACME test image, which upgrades Pebble to 2.10.0, Go to 1.26, and Python to 3.14, and generally updates all contained Python dependencies (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86740).
- ansible-test validate-modules sanity test - now reports bad return value keys that cannot be used with the dot notation in Jinja expressions (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86079).
- ansible-vault - improved error messages for better clarity and context when vault operations fail, helping users diagnose configuration or file access issues more easily (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86602).
- ansible-vault - keep the original contents when the EDITOR returns failure when using ``ansible-vault edit``.
- break_when - A ``break_when_result`` key is always present in results when a ``break_when`` expression is used.

- break_when - A failed ``break_when`` expression now preserves the loop structure of a result and any loop item results.
- callback - filter key starting with _ansible_ from debug messages (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69731).
- callback plugins - support configuration using extra variables.
- changed_when - A ``changed_when_result`` key is always present in results when a ``changed_when`` expression is used.
- changed_when - A ``changed_when_suppressed_exception`` key is added to a result when a ``changed_when`` expression fails and masks an existing exception in a result.
- core - The ``ActionBase._low_level_execute_command`` method no longer adds ``&& sleep 0`` to commands. This was a work-around for a 10+ year old Linux kernel bug affecting OpenSSH. By August of 2016 the fix had been included in kernel versions 4.1.26, 4.4.12, 4.5.6, 4.6.1 and 4.7. Linux kernel bug report: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/alpine.LNX.2.00.1512091358290.9574@fanir.tuyoix.net/ OpenSSH bug report: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2492
- deb822_repository - add include and exclude parameter arguments (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86155)
- default callback - add ``display_included_hosts`` option to control the ``included:`` banner lines for ``include_tasks``/``include_role`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84499).
- default callback plugin - add option to configure line width for YAML output. This allows to disable line wrapping (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84657, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85498).
- default callback plugin - add variable configuration for ``display_skipped_hosts`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84469).
- display - replace few words with more inclusive word list such as denylist, FilterDenyList (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86304).
- dnf - Separate module into module and utility script
- executor - remove unused RETURN_VARS
- file - return disk_usage_bytes fact (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70834).
- filter - Use datetime.strftime instead of time.strftime in strftime (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86260).
- find - add locale encoding in err msg when none is given
- generator - add support for extra vars (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83270).
- group - Add warning message when invalid priority values are provided to Group.set_priority() method (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85468).
- ignore_errors - Invalid values for ``ignore_errors`` will always be treated as ``False``
- ignore_errors - Templated values for the ``ignore_errors`` keyword behave more consistently in looped tasks. If ``ignore_errors`` resolves ``True`` for any loop item, errors will be ignored for the entire task.
- ignore_unreachable - Templated values for the ``ignore_unreachable`` keyword behave more consistently in looped tasks. If ``ignore_unreachable`` resolves ``True`` for any loop item, unreachable hosts will be ignored for the entire task.
- include_role has new option `rescuable` to allow it to toggle between task failure and syntax errors.
- loops - The ``break_when`` keyword is now validated when the value is falsey.
- loops - The registered result of a loop task no longer contains the ``skipped`` key when it would be ``False``.
- module/action results - A ``results`` key returned from an action or module is always preserved. Previously the ``results`` key was sometimes removed, depending on the type of its value.
- package_facts - Switch from rpm python to rpm CLI to list packages
- package_facts - use apk query instead of apk info for gathering package facts in Alpine (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86579).
- password hashing - Add support back for using the ``crypt`` implementation from the C library used to build Python, or with expanded functionality using ``libxcrypt``
- psrp - Added the ``certificate_key_password`` option through the variable ``ansible_psrp_certificate_key_password`` that can be used to decrypt the key specified by ``certificate_key_pem``. This option requires ``pypsrp>=0.9.0`` to be installed in the Ansible environment.
- psrp - Added the ``no_profile`` option through the variable ``ansible_psrp_no_profile`` that can stop the remote Windows host from loading the user profile on the Ansible tasks. This option requires ``pypsrp>=0.9.0`` to be installed in the Ansible environment.
- script - remove the currently unsupported ``decrypt`` argument from the module documentation (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86067).
- service - add support for GNU Hurd systems, which use SysV init scripts (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86622).
- slurp module gets new C(armor) option to allow user to disable base64 encoding.
- stat - return disk_usage_bytes fact (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70834).
- task results - Python and Powershell modules do not include the ``invocation`` task result key by default. Injection of the ``invocation`` task result key for Python and Powershell modules may be enabled with the var-settable ``INJECT_INVOCATION`` config item. Most callbacks mask ``invocation`` when displaying a task or loop item result.
- to_yaml / to_nice_yaml filters - Add optional ``vault_behavior`` argument to configure how vaulted values are rendered.
- worker process - When controller and forked child workers must share a TTY, the ``WORKER_SESSION_ISOLATION`` config item can be set to ``false`` (via variable/config/envvar) to disable forked worker session isolation.

ansible.netcommon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Exposes new libssh option to configure key_exchange_algorithms. This requires ansible-pylibssh v1.3.0 or higher.
- Option to use libssh as transport while using netconf, is added.
- The dependency on ansible-pylibssh (for ssh_type=libssh / network_cli) is now ansible-pylibssh>=1.4.0 in requirements.txt, raised from the previous >=0.2.0 requirement. Installations still on ansible-pylibssh 0.x or 1.x below 1.4.0 must upgrade to use the libssh connection path with this collection release.
- The ssh-python module is needed, which will ensure libssh as transport for netconf operations. When use_libssh is enabled.
- libssh connection - When log_path is set (e.g. via ANSIBLE_LOG_PATH or log_path in ansible.cfg), the plugin now routes ansible-pylibssh (libssh) logs into the same Ansible log file. Log level is derived from display.verbosity using Python standard logging: verbosity 0 -> WARNING, 1-2 -> INFO, 3+ -> DEBUG. This allows SSH/libssh debug and trace output to appear in the configured log file for troubleshooting without changing ansible-pylibssh configuration manually.
- network_cli - The in-collection paramiko path supports the same host key policy behavior (including host_key_auto_add and known_hosts handling) and persistent connection caching as the previous ansible-core paramiko integration.
- network_cli - When ssh_type is set to paramiko, the connection plugin now uses an in-collection paramiko implementation instead of loading ansible-core's paramiko connection plugin. This allows network_cli to work with versions of ansible-core, where the paramiko connection plugin was removed.

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------

Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- psrp - Changed the default of ``negotiate_service`` used to build the Kerberos Service Principal Name from ``WSMAN`` to ``host``. This aligns the defaults to how the native PowerShell PSRemoting client works on Windows and ensures that Kerberos can be used by more Windows targets by default. No deprecation period is used for this change as ``host`` is a builtin SPN to Windows and should improve compatibility out of the box. To go back to the old behaviour for any reason, set ``ansible_psrp_negotiate_service=WSMAN`` in the host vars.

community.aws
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- community.aws collection - Due to the AWS SDKs announcing the end of support for Python less than 3.8 (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/python-support-policy-updates-for-aws-sdks-and-tools/), support for Python less than 3.8 by this collection has been deprecated and will be removed in release 10.0.0. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/2304).

community.dns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Ansible-core versions before 2.17 are no longer supported by the collection. This also means that all Python versions before 3.8 are no longer supported (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/317).

community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Since community.general 13.0.0, all module utils, plugin utils, and doc fragments contained in this collection are private to the collection. This means that if another collection wants to use these, there is no longer any guarantee that there are no breaking changes, even in bugfix releases. This has no practical impact on any other use of the collection, that is, everyone using modules or plugins from the collections will not notice any difference (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11312, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11896).
- The collection no longer supports ansible-core 2.17 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11906).
- all lookup plugins - if a keyword argument ``_terms`` is passed, the plugin rejects the call and tells the user to use positional arguments instead. ``_terms`` was never used, and is used in documentation as a placeholder for positional arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12060).
- github_app_access_token lookup plugin - the plugin no longer accepts positional arguments. They were never used anyway (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12060).
- github_repo - the default for the ``force_defaults`` option changed from ``true`` to ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11834).
- onepassword* lookup plugins - drop support for ``op`` version 1 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12061).
- random_pet lookup plugin - the plugin no longer accepts positional arguments. They were never used anyway (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12060).

Deprecated Features
-------------------

- The ``netapp.cloudmanager`` collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed from Ansible 15 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 15.
  See `Collections Removal Process for unmaintained collections <https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#unmaintained-collections>`__ for more details, including for how this can be cancelled (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/44891 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/44891>`__).
  After removal, users can still install this collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.cloudmanager``.
- The collection ``community.mysql`` was renamed to ``ansible.mysql``.
  For now both collections are included in Ansible.
  The content in ``community.mysql`` has been replaced by deprecated redirects in Ansible 14.0.0.
  The collection will be completely removed from Ansible 17.
  Please update your FQCNs from ``community.mysql`` to ``ansible.mysql`` (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/45798 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/45798>`__).
- The cyberark.pas collection will be removed from Ansible 15 due to violations of the Ansible inclusion requirements.
  The collection has violated the inclusion requirements multiple times, including those surrounding repository management. The collection maintainers did not respond to the latest violation report.
  See `Collections Removal Process for collections not satisfying the collection requirements <https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#collections-not-satisfying-the-collection-requirements>`__ for more details, including for how this can be cancelled (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/45816 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/45816>`__).
  After removal, users can still install this collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install cyberark.pas``.

Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- The ``get_all_subclasses()`` function from ``ansible.module_utils.basic`` is deprecated and will be removed in ansible-core 2.24. Use ``get_all_subclasses()`` from ``ansible.module_utils.common._utils`` instead.
- The ``get_platfrom()`` function from ``ansible.module_utils.basic`` is deprecated and will be removed in ansible-core 2.24. Use ``platform.system()`` from the Python standard library instead.
- The ``load_platform_subclass()`` function from ``ansible.module_utils.basic`` is deprecated and will be removed in ansible-core 2.24. Use ``get_platform_subclass()`` from ``ansible.module_utils.common.sys_info`` instead.
- ``PluginLoader`` - Deprecate unused ``aliases`` attribute. Plugins in a collection should define aliases in the ``meta/runtime.yml`` file using the ``redirect`` field instead.
- ``ansible.module_utils.six`` - The ``six`` compatibility library provided at ``ansible.module_utils.six`` is deprecated, and planned for removal in ansible-core 2.24
- apt_key - deprecate in favor of deb822_repository.
- apt_repository - deprecate in favor of deb822_repository.
- connection plugins - Added a soft deprecation on the connection attributes ``has_native_async`` and ``always_pipeline_modules``. Connection plugins that wish to apply custom behaviour around pipelining should instead override the method ``is_pipelining_enabled(self, wrap_async=False)`` added in Ansible 2.19. For backwards compatibility no runtime deprecation warning is emitted but will be in the future.
- task result - Inferred task failure from a non-zero ``rc`` key and absence of a ``failed`` key will be deprecated in Ansible Core 2.22. Actions and modules must explicitly communicate failure by setting the ``failed`` key, using APIs that do so, or raising an unhandled exception. In future releases, the ``rc`` key will receive no special handling during task result processing.

- Fix up the Action plugin ``_make_tmp_path`` error to only include the command run rather than the shell's dataclass repr from ``mkdtemp``.
- Variable loading now uses file source instead of variables when invalidly formmated vars file is loaded.
- Windows - ignore temporary file cleanup warning when using AnsibleModule to compile C# utils. This should reduce the number of warnings that can safely be ignored when running PowerShell modules - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85976
- ``--start-at-task`` - fix starting at the requested task instead of starting at the next block or play. Play level tasks run first. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86268)
- ``ansible-galaxy collection list`` - issue a warning when a collection's namespace and name do not match its filepath. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69813)
- ``ansible-galaxy collection list|install`` - list collections based on reference (the fqcn used to refer to them in a playbook), not based on their documented name. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69813)
- ``ansible-galaxy collection verify`` - fail collection verification when a collection's namespace and name  do not match its filepath. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69813)
- ``ansible-galaxy install``/``ansible-galaxy collection download`` - collections from git repositories with a tag or sha version no longer emit detached head warning messages (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86169).
- ``ansible.builtin.pip`` - Running the built-in pip module with ``check_mode`` and packages coming from VCS URLs, archives, or local filepaths now correctly outputs the ``changed`` status of the task. Previously, it was always reported as changed due to improper package name resolution.  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85623)
- ``ansible``, ``ansible-console`` - fix executing ``- meta: end_play`` tasks.
- ansible-connection - Prevent unpickling failures in module contexts by ensuring that AnsibleTaggedObjects in pickled responses are converted to plain types in ``JsonRpcServer``.
- ansible-galaxy - raise an error when wrong regex value specified in collection_skeleton_ignore.
- ansible-galaxy - warn instead of raising an error when no valid role or collections paths exist (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86341)
- ansible-galaxy collection - Fix using the server configuration for ``validate_certs`` when downloading collections. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86694)
- ansible-test - Add missing bootstrapping for a target Python version in a controller container.
- ansible-test - Fix docker hostname parsing
- ansible-test - Fix traceback when requesting windows integration tests for multiple managed hosts.
- ansible-test - Missing git submodules in the source tree now result in a warning instead of an error.
- ansible-test - Restore code coverage reporting for Python code residing in integration tests.
- ansible-test - The runtime-metadata sanity test now ignores pre-release and build identifiers in collection versions. This prevents errors if a tombstone version is ``X.0.0``, while the collection's version is ``X.0.0-prerelease`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85193)."
- ansible-test - Upgrade ``expat`` during provisioning of Fedora 42 remote instances.
- ansible-test - When using the ``env --list-files`` option, non-filename output is now sent to stderr.
- ansible-test remote alias - Alias values for ``--controller`` and ``--target`` are properly resolved for ``remote``. Previously, remote alias values (e.g. ``fedora/latest``) resolved to the correct name only for the legacy ``--remote`` arg, failing with an unknown image error for the newer args.
- ansible_facts[os_*] - Contained wrong information, if ClearLinux parsing was tried before falling back to general os-release parsing
- ansible_local will no longer trigger variable injection default value deprecation.
- ansible_virtualization_role and ansible_virtualization_type facts - fix the detection of vms running inside FreeBSD Bhyve hypervisor and detection of jails  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85767)
- apt - Stop the >= operator from being ignored for packages that are not already installed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85254)
- apt - handle comma separated packages from recommends while installing local deb package (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86609).
- apt - recreate the APT lists directory (/var/lib/apt/lists by default) if missing (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/61176).
- basic - fail in controlled manner when ``run_command()`` attempts to parse a command with broken syntax passed in as a string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85719).
- cache plugins based on the BaseFileCache class will now sanitize keys to avoid names that could cause issues with the storage path
- callbacks - The value of ``TaskResult.task.connection`` properly reflects the loaded connection name used. Previously, incorrect values were reported in some cases.
- config lookup now properly factors in variables and show_origin when checking entries from the global configuration.
- config lookup now uses preexisting constants for templating when needed.
- copy - honor directory_mode when copying directories with remote_src=True (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81292).
- copy - when a single-file local directory was specified as the source, ``changed`` used to be ``false`` even when the source was actually copied. It now makes sure ``changed`` is ``true`` in this case. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85833)
- deb822_repository - Remove ``Install-Python-Debian`` from files outputted by the ``deb822_repository`` module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86395)
- deb822_repository no longer over-normalizes repository names when generating sources list filenames, preventing collisions for names that differ by case, underscores, or dots (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86243)
- display - Fix ``getuser`` fallback error handling on Python 3.13 and later. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86142)
- dnf - When installing a dnf module, install and enable when missing, upgrade when present (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73457)
- dnf - fix package installation when specifying architecture without version (e.g., ``libgcc.i686``) where a different architecture of the same package is already installed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86156).
- dnf5 - return failure message which occurred while running RPM scriptlet (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86117).
- file module - issue warning when attempting to access files/directories the user lacks permissions on instead of silently treating them as absent (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/57573)
- first_found - Correct the "Include tasks only if one of the files exists, otherwise skip" example.
- first_found - ensure file lookup under ``files`` directory when the task action cannot be resolved (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85655).
- first_found - use the task action to determine the directory (templates/vars/files) containing the file when the lookup is not used as task loop.
- galaxy - previously, some corrupted cache files could cause Ansible Galaxy to fail with a traceback. This has been corrected to display a clear error message explaining how to resolve the problem. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85918)
- get_url - fix regex for GNU Digest line which is used in comparing checksums (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86132).
- getent - handle non-empty string for split parameter value (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85720).
- git - Correct the output of git checkmode to a failure when the ``version`` supplied is an invalid ref (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/51580)
- git - use the branch configured in ``.gitmodules`` or the remote HEAD instead of hardcoding ``master`` when ``track_submodules=yes`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77691).
- include_role would emit a syntax error on X_from options errors, but a task failure when missing a role to make it consistent now it also emits a task failure on missing tasks_from, which makes it subject to error handling in the play.
- include_role, would ignore missing X_from files if the subdir (tasks/vars/handlers/defaults) did not exist, now it is a proper error.
- iptables - The module can now detect when a extensions added with the module ``match`` argument have  been automatically imported by other module arguments such as ``uid_owner`` and prevents duplicate extension imports which previously caused an error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/84387). 
- local connection - Fix ``getuser`` fallback error handling on Python 3.13 and later.
- local connection - Pass correct type to become plugins when checking password (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86458)
- modules - fix AnsiballZ wrapper code escaping of sitecustomize
- option argument deprecations now have a proper alternative help text.
- package, service, gather_facts - fix templating module_defaults for modules executed by these action plugins. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85848)
- package_facts - typecast bytes to string while returning facts (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85937).
- password lookup plugin - replace random.SystemRandom() with secrets.SystemRandom() when generating passwords (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85956, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85971).
- pip - Prevent passing ``-e`` to ``pip`` when the ``editable`` and ``requirements`` parameters are both used.
- pip - When installing multiple packages with ``editable=True``, ensure each package is editable (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77755).
- pluginloader - Fixed non-collection load path for builtin non-Jinja plugins to consult deprecation metadata.
- psrp - ReadTimeout exceptions now mark host as unreachable instead of fatal (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85966)
- rpm_key - Use librpm library API instead of gpg utility to support version 6 PGP keys (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86157).
- ssh connection plugin - fix resource leaks when using sshpass
- task conditionals - An error in any task conditional (e.g., ``when``, ``until``, ``failed_when``) always causes the task to report a descriptive failure while preserving the task result. The resulting task failure is always recoverable via ``ignore_errors``. Previous inconsistent error handling in task conditionals could result in warnings, loss of completed task results, recoverable task errors, unrecoverable task errors, or failure of the Ansible controller process.
- task results - The ``invocation`` item result key omitted from registered values for looped task results, unless enabled via ``INJECT_INVOCATION``. Previously, it was deleted from registered non-loop results and only available to callbacks.
- template module - Report the line number for Jinja syntax errors in template files.
- templating - Fix traceback when using ``deepcopy`` on an imported template (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86723).
- to_yaml / to_nice_yaml filters - Restore pre-2.19 decryption behavior for vaulted values (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85722). A regression in 2.19.0 previously caused vaulted values to be dumped as ``!vault``-tagged ciphertext.
- unarchive - make timezone aware timestamp for comparison (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85779).
- user - ``user`` module integration tests can now run multiple times on the same freebsd host (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86541).
- user - create accounts in an unlocked state by default on BusyBox (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/68676)
- user - emit a warning when the ``seuser`` parameter is set on a system where SELinux is not enabled, instead of silently ignoring it (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85542).
- user - fix ``FreeBsdUser`` to not create ``/nonexistent`` directory when modifying user to add them to a group on FreeBSD (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/86368)
- user - fix modifying users on BusyBox (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/66679)
- user - make option group required_by option append.
- user - preserve existing password when modifying accounts on BusyBox systems (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86530)
- user - raise an error if force=true is used while deleting the group on BusyBox based distros (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85565).
- user - return the actual system groups the user belongs to instead of only the groups specified in the module input (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80669).
- winrm - Provide a better error message if a domain user is specified using a User Principal Name (``UPN``) but the ``pykerberos`` library is not installed so Kerberos is unavailable.
- yaml loading - Fix traceback when parsing YAML strings (not files) when using the pure Python implementation of PyYAML.

amazon.aws
~~~~~~~~~~

- autoscaling_group - Fixed duplicate default_cooldown assignment in properties dict (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2923).
- aws_ssm - Fixed connection being re-established on every loop iteration. The plugin now properly establishes a single connection for a loop (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2869).
- connection/aws_ssm - fixed ReferenceError in aws_ssm connection plugin destructor during interpreter shutdown (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2728).
- elb_application_lb - Listener rules are now returned sorted by priority with the default rule appearing last (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2939).
- elb_application_lb - fixed comparison of multi-rule default actions to properly handle the ``Order`` field when determining if listener modifications are needed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2537).
- elb_application_lb - fixed error where creating a new application load balancer with listener rules would fail with ``Parameter validation failed: Invalid type for parameter ListenerArn, value: None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2400).
- elb_application_lb_info - Listener rules are now returned sorted by priority with the default rule appearing last (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2939).
- kms_key - Fixed parameter reassignment by using passed alias parameter instead of re-fetching from module params (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2923).
- lambda_info - fixed invalid return value documentation that used dot notation (``function.TheName``) which cannot be used in Jinja2 templates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2772).
- module_utils/cloudfront_facts - fix TypeError in CloudFrontFactsServiceManager.describe_cloudfront_property (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1915).
- s3_bucket - fix error when configuring AES256 bucket encryption with ``bucket_key_enabled`` explicitly set to ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/2734).
- s3_object - fixed error when using PUT with an empty ``content`` string (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2810)
- s3_object_info - Fixed duplicate dictionary key assignments when retrieving object facts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2923).

ansible.netcommon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Added support for private key passphrase in libssh connection plugin, when using encrypted private keys specified by the C(ansible_private_key_file) attribute.
- Adds backward compatibility of handling src attributes, functional consistency with ansible-core >= 2.19
- Adds deprecation warning for the jinja2 processing functionality for src attributes, src attributes in collections would still support considering file path but they would not process template files directly once the functionality is deprecated.
- Avoid legacy imports deprecated in ansible-core 2.20 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon/pull/720).
- Avoid merging module_defaults for all ansible.netcommon.grpc_* modules.
- It is suggested to use ansible.builtin.template module to process templates and use the processed template path in src attributes.
- Set libssh logging level to DEBUG when Ansible verbosity is greater than 3, to aid in troubleshooting connection issues.
- filter plugins - Add plugin_routing redirects for ``ipaddr``, ``ipv4``, and ``ipv6`` to ``ansible.utils`` so short names work when ``ansible.netcommon`` is in the play's collection list (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/404).
- filter plugins - Convert filter arguments to native Python types before ``AnsibleArgSpecValidator`` so filters work with Ansible 2.19+ lazy containers that cannot be deep-copied (e.g. ``vlan_parser``, ``vlan_expander``, ``hash_salt``, ``type5_pw``, ``comp_type5``, ``parse_cli``, ``parse_cli_textfsm``, ``parse_xml``, ``pop_ace``).
- libssh connection - Fixed test_libssh_put_file unit test so the put_file code path (used by net_put, copy module, and other file transfer over libssh) is properly tested in CI. The test now sets connection options and mocks Session so put_file does not trigger a real connection attempt with an unset host (was failing with "Hostname required").
- network action plugin - Fall back when remove_internal_keys is not importable from ansible.vars.clean (e.g. some ansible-core builds), so direct module execution still cleans module return data.
- network action plugin - initialize ``_PARSED_MODULE_ARGS`` in ``DirectExecutionModule._load_params`` to avoid ``AttributeError`` on ansible-core 2.21+ when ``fail_json`` or ``exit_json`` is called.
- network_cli - Fixed file transfer (net_put / net_get) when ssh_type=libssh. For put_file, no longer call_connect_uncached() before delegating to the libssh connection the libssh plugin's put_file() calls _connect() internally. For fetch_file, call _connect() then fetch_file() for libssh instead of _connect_uncached(), so connection caching and the correct flow are used. Paramiko branch unchanged (still uses _connect_uncached() for scp/sftp).

ansible.posix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- acl - correctly assert needed changes when pointing to a directory and recursive is set to true.
- ansible.posix.authorized_key - fixes error on permission denied in authorized_key module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix/issues/462).
- firewalld_info - stop returning warnings as return values; this has been deprecated by ansible-core (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix/pull/670).
- mount - stop returning warnings as return values; this has been deprecated by ansible-core (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix/pull/670).
- patch - removed use of deprecated ``_AnsibleActionDone`` API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix/pull/687).

ansible.utils
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Add a cleanup step that removes empty {} and [] values from lists in keep_keys_from_dict_n_list()
- cidr_merge - Fix filter failing when used inside a Jinja2 macro called with ``with context`` by unwrapping Ansible lazy template lists before validation.
- cli_parse - Honor ttp_results.results flat_list in TTP parser so output is a single-level list instead of double-wrapped (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/issues/402).
- ipaddress_utils - Support Python 3.14+ by using the public ``version`` attribute instead of the removed private ``_version`` on ``ipaddress`` network objects (bpo-118710).
- update_fact - Use task_vars at top-level instead of the deprecated ``vars`` key for compatibility with ansible-core 2.24 (ansible/ansible issue

ansible.windows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Stop using the deprecated text module_utils in Ansible that will be removed in Ansible ``2.24``.
- Update various action plugin calls to avoid some deprecated or old methods.
- win_dhcp_lease - when creating a reservation, the dns_name will be used as reservation_name in case that is not provided; will be discarded otherwise as the parameter HostName is not supported by Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/813)
- win_file - Fix idempotency issues when using ``state: touch`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/798)
- win_get_url - Fix force=no not doing HEAD request if checksum is not set
- win_hotfix - Fix a bug in Get-HotfixMetadataFromKB fallback logic where it would fail to return metadata even if the hotfix was found.
- win_hotfix - Fix idempotency issue where some multi-package MSUs (e.g. SSU + CU) were incorrectly reported as installed by DISM even if the CU was missing. Added a secondary check using Get-Hotfix to verify installation.
- win_powershell - Fix up async support for Ansible 2.19 when running ``win_powershell`` - https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/828
- win_products_facts - return string for all the license related facts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.windows/issues/661).
- win_reboot - Use full path to ``shutdown.exe`` to avoid relying on ``PATH`` lookups to find - https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/826
- win_reboot - fix unhandled error when ``.exe`` not present in ``PATHEXT`` environment variable
- win_shell - Ensure the default ``executable`` uses the absolute path to ``powershell.exe`` rather than looking it up in the ``PATH`` environment.

arista.eos
~~~~~~~~~~

- Added runtime routing in ``meta/runtime.yml`` to map old plugin names to the new ``eos_``-prefixed ones.
- Fix eos_vrf module to properly check existing interface configuration before making changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/arista.eos/issues/546)
- Removed deprecated action plugins for modules that no longer exist (static_route, vlan, linkagg, l2_interface, l3_interface, logging, interface, bgp).
- Removed sanity ignore files for EOL ansible-core versions (2.14 through 2.22).
- Renamed all remaining action plugins with ``eos_`` prefix to follow naming conventions.
- Trimmed obsolete entries from remaining sanity ignore files.
- eos_bgp_global - Support specifying both incoming and outgoing route-maps per BGP neighbor. Added ``route_maps`` (list of dicts with ``name`` and ``direction``) so users can set e.g. ``route-map MAP_IN in`` and ``route-map MAP_OUT out`` for the same neighbor. The single ``route_map`` option is deprecated in favor of ``route_maps``. Fixes https://github.com/ansible-collections/arista.eos/issues/538.
- eos_static_routes - Fix issue where ``state: replaced`` did not delete routes not present in the config (https://github.com/ansible-collections/arista.eos/issues/532).

cisco.aci
~~~~~~~~~

- Fix allowed ranges of interface option in aci_interface_config module.
- Fix descriptions of options in aci_maintenance_policy.
- Fix querying description in aci_l4l7_service_graph_template.

cisco.ios
~~~~~~~~~

- Fixed delete and purged state function for ios_bfd_templates
- action plugins - Remove orphaned legacy action plugins ``bgp.py``, ``linkagg.py``, ``lldp.py`` and ``logging.py`` that had no corresponding module.
- action plugins - Rename multiple resource module action plugins to use the ``ios_`` prefix to match their module names and fix ``action-plugin-docs`` sanity failures blocking Automation Hub certification.
- cisco.ios.ios_acls - Added support for converting numeric protocol values to real protocol options when gathered from the device.
- cisco.ios.ios_acls - Gathered state showing incomplete configuration.
- cisco.ios.ios_hsrp_intefaces - Considers version 1 as default if configuration does not specify version.
- cisco.ios.ios_hsrp_intefaces - Corrects idempotency issue when version is not specified in configuration.
- cisco.ios.ios_l2_interfaces - Moved mode parser to below the trunk parsers.
- ios_acls - Fixed ``'int' object has no attribute 'split'`` error when processing ACL configurations with TCP entries. The parser regex for ``icmp_igmp_protocol`` could capture trailing numeric values for non-ICMP/IGMP protocols. Fixed by restricting ``icmp_igmp_protocol`` to only apply when the protocol is ``icmp`` or ``igmp`` in the parser template, with a defensive type check in facts processing.
- ios_config - Fix multi-range interface commands for ios_config module.
- ios_snmp_users - Fixed authentication option to correctly handle authentication protocol configuration.
- ios_static_routes - Fix gather crash when "ip route static bfd" is present on the device.
- meta/runtime.yml - Add ``plugin_routing.action`` redirects for all short-name aliases so alias-based invocations continue to resolve the renamed action plugins.
- plugins/action/ios.py - Remove unused ``warnings`` list and unreachable dead code block that never executed due to ``warnings`` always being empty.
- sanity - Remove stale ``action-plugin-docs`` ignore entries and delete ``ignore-2.14.txt`` and ``ignore-2.15.txt`` as the collection requires ``ansible>=2.16.0``.
- terminal_stderr_re - Updated to support variation of command rejected error from appliance.

cisco.iosxr
~~~~~~~~~~~

- Fixed iosxr_user module to correctly handle MD5 hashed passwords when updating user credentials.
- action plugins - Remove orphaned legacy action plugins ``bgp.py``, ``interface.py``, and ``logging.py`` that had no corresponding module.
- action plugins - Rename all 32 resource module action plugins to use the ``iosxr_`` prefix to match their module names and fix ``action-plugin-docs`` sanity failures blocking Automation Hub certification.
- iosxr_bgp_address_family - Fixed label generation command handling under `address_family` configuration.
- iosxr_bgp_global, iosxr_bgp_templates, iosxr_facts - treat BGP neighbor ``remote_as`` as a string so ASDOT notation (e.g. ``5467.8`` per RFC 5396) is not coerced to float and rejected during facts or resource validation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cisco.iosxr/issues). This is not a deprecation of ``remote_as`` — existing playbooks passing integer ASPLAIN values (e.g. ``remote_as: 65001``) continue to work because Ansible automatically coerces integers to strings. However, the module now returns ``remote_as`` as a string in parsed/gathered facts, so any playbook assertions comparing ``remote_as`` against an integer literal (e.g. ``result.after.remote_as == 65001``) should be updated to compare against a string (``"65001"``) instead.
- meta/runtime.yml - Add ``plugin_routing.action`` redirects for all short-name aliases so alias-based invocations continue to resolve the renamed action plugins.
- plugins/action/iosxr.py - Remove unused ``warnings`` list and unreachable dead code block that never executed due to ``warnings`` always being empty.
- sanity - Remove 35 stale ``action-plugin-docs`` ignore entries and delete ``ignore-2.15.txt`` as the collection requires ``ansible>=2.16.0``.

cisco.meraki
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Fix parameter naming in organizations_inventory_claim.py to use camelCase for consistency with existing code.
- Fixing problem of naming in organizations_appliance_vpn_third_party_vpnpeers_info.
- Restructuring README.md file.
- administered_licensing_subscription_subscriptions_bind - Fixed parameter naming from 'subscription_id' to 'subscriptionId' for proper API compatibility
- devices_switch_ports - Fixed AttributeError crash in ``update()`` caused by ``get_object_by_name`` returning the full port list instead of ``None`` when no port matched by name. Added ``isinstance(prev_obj_name, dict)`` guard to prevent calling ``.get()`` on a list.
- devices_switch_ports - Fixed idempotency regression where the module always reported ``changed`` due to ``serial`` (a path parameter absent from the API response) and ``portId`` (int/string type mismatch) being incorrectly included in the ``requires_update`` comparison.
- meraki.py plugin utils - Added type checking in has_diff_elem2 function to prevent errors when comparing lists of non-dictionary elements
- networks_appliance_content_filtering - Enhanced idempotency by extracting category IDs from blockedUrlCategories before comparison

cisco.mso
~~~~~~~~~

- Fix updates of multicast_route_map_policy in mso_schema_template_vrf_rp.
- Fix updates of multicast_route_map_source_filter and multicast_route_map_destination_filter in mso_schema_template_bd.

cisco.nxos
~~~~~~~~~~

- Fixed nxos_facts module so it can handle VLAN interface facts without any issue even if addr is not defined
- Fixed nxos_static_routes module so to handle replaced and overridden state with vrf configuration.
- action plugins - Remove orphaned legacy action plugins ``acl_interface.py acl.py bgp_af.py``, ``bgp_neighbor_af.py bgp_neighbor.py bgp.py interface.py l2_interface.py l3_interface.py``, ``linkagg.py lldp.py logging.py ntp_auth.py ntp_options.py ntp.py ospf_vrf.py smu.py``, ``snmp_community.py snmp_contact.py snmp_host.py snmp_location.py snmp_traps.py snmp_user.py``, ``static_route.py vlan.py ospf.py`` that had no corresponding module.
- action plugins - Rename multiple resource module action plugins to use the ``nxos_`` prefix to match their module names and fix ``action-plugin-docs`` sanity failures blocking Automation Hub certification.
- cisco.nxos.nxos_facts - Fix AttributeError when interface has multiple IPv6 addrs and handle ROW_addr as list.
- cisco.nxos.nxos_facts - Fix handling of facts for httapi type connection.
- cisco.nxos.nxos_hsrp_intefaces - Considers version 1 as default if configuration does not specify version.
- cisco.nxos.nxos_hsrp_intefaces - Corrects idempotency issue when version is not specified in configuration.
- cisco.nxos.nxos_hsrp_interfaces - Fix parsers for preempt and priority
- cisco.nxos.nxos_l2_interfaces - Fix cdp_enable config parsing.
- cisco.nxos.nxos_l3_interfaces - Improved the code logic for handling redirects.
- cisco.nxos.nxos_snmp_server - fixed communities parsing issue
- cisco.nxos.nxos_static_routes - Fix facts parser to filter inline VRF routes from global route collection preventing incorrect VRF route deletion.
- meta/runtime.yml - Add ``plugin_routing.action`` redirects for all short-name aliases so alias-based invocations continue to resolve the renamed action plugins.
- nxos_l2_interfaces - Fix VLAN range sorting to use numeric order instead of lexicographic string sorting, which caused incorrect range generation (e.g., "1,10,100,11" instead of "1-100").

community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- CLI-based modules - when parsing JSON output fails, also provide standard error output. Also provide information on the command and its result in machine-readable way (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/1216, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1221).
- Docker CLI based modules - work around bug in Docker 29.0.0 that caused a breaking change in ``docker version --format json`` output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/1185, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1187).

- docker_container - fix handling of exposed port ranges. So far, the module used an undocumented feature of Docker that was removed from Docker 29.0.0, that allowed to pass the range to the deamon and let handle it. Now the module explodes ranges into a list of all contained ports, same as the Docker CLI does. For backwards compatibility with Docker < 29.0.0, it also explodes ranges returned by the API for existing containers so that comparison should only indicate a difference if the ranges actually change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1192).
- docker_container - fix idempotency for IPv6 addresses with Docker 29.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1192).

- docker_image_pull - fix idempotency with Docker 29.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1192).
- docker_image_pull, docker_container - fix pulled image change detection for Docker 29.2+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1242).
- docker_network - fix idempotency for IPv6 addresses and networks with Docker 29.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1201).
- modules and plugins using the Docker SDK for Python - do not automatically set ``tls_hostname`` when ``validate_certs=true`` for Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/1225, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1226).

Known Issues
------------

community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- docker_image, docker_image_export - idempotency for archiving images depends on whether the image IDs used by the image storage backend correspond to the IDs used in the tarball's ``manifest.json`` files. The new default backend in Docker 29 apparently uses image IDs that no longer correspond, whence idempotency no longer works (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/1199).

community.routeros
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- api_modify - to create or modify entries in the ``container`` path, you need librouteros 4.0.0 or newer due to a bug preventing older versions from setting or modifying properties named ``cmd`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/issues/442).

dellemc.openmanage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Formal qualification of module ome_smart_fabric_info for Ansible Core version 2.19 is still pending.
- idrac_diagnostics - This module does not support export of diagnostics file to HTTP and HTTPS share via SOCKS proxy.
- idrac_license - Due to API limitation, proxy parameters are ignored during the import operation.
- idrac_license - The module will give different error messages for iDRAC9 and iDRAC10 when user imports license with invalid share name.
- idrac_os_deployment - The module continues to return a 200 response and marks the job as completed, even when an outdated date is supplied in the Expose duration.
- idrac_redfish_storage_controller - PatrolReadRatePercent attribute cannot be set in iDRAC10.
- idrac_server_config_profile - When attempting to revert iDRAC settings using a previously exported SCP file, the import operation will complete with errors if a new user was created after the export (Instead of restoring the system to its previous state, including the removal of newly added users).
- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - The module supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular, however it does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name. If an uplink is created using the same name as an existing uplink, then the existing uplink is modified.
- redfish_storage_volume - Encryption type and block_io_size bytes will be read only property in iDRAC9 and iDRAC10 and hence the module ignores these parameters.
