- update to version 2.7.6
Minor Changes:
* Added documentation about using VMware dynamic inventory plugin.
* Fixed bug around populating host_ip in hostvars in vmware_vm_inventory.
* Image reference change in Azure VMSS is detected and applied correctly.
* docker_volume - reverted changed behavior of force, which was released in Ansible 2.7.1 to 2.7.5, and Ansible 2.6.8 to 2.6.11. Volumes are now only recreated if the parameters changed and force is set to true (instead of or). This is the behavior which has been described in the documentation all the time.
* set ansible_os_family from name variable in os-release
* yum and dnf can now handle installing packages from URIs that are proxy redirects and don't end in the .rpm file extension
Bugfixes:
* Added log message at -vvvv when using netconf connection listing connection details.
* Changes how ansible-connection names socket lock files. They now use the same name as the socket itself, and as such do not lock other attempts on connections to the same host, or cause issues with overly-long hostnames.
* Fix mandatory statement error for junos modules (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/50138)
* Moved error in netconf connection plugin from at import to on connection.
* This reverts some changes from commit 723daf3. If a line is found in the file, exactly or via regexp matching, it must not be added again. insertafter/insertbefore options are used only when a line is to be inserted, to specify where it must be added.
* allow using openstack inventory plugin w/o a cache
* callbacks - Do not filter out exception, warnings, deprecations on failure when using debug (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/47576)
* certificate_complete_chain - fix behavior when invalid file is parsed while reading intermediate or root certificates.
* copy - Ensure that the src file contents is converted to unicode in diff information so that it is properly wrapped by AnsibleUnsafeText to prevent unexpected templating of diff data in Python3 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/45717)
* correct behaviour of verify_file for vmware inventory plugin, it was always returning True
* dnf - fix issue where conf_file was not being loaded properly
* dnf - fix update_cache combined with install operation to not cause dnf transaction failure
* docker_container - fix network_mode idempotency if the container: form is used (as opposed to container:) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/49794)
* docker_container - warning when non-string env values are found, avoiding YAML parsing issues. Will be made an error in Ansible 2.8. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/49802)
* docker_swarm_service - Document labels and container_labels with correct type.
* docker_swarm_service - Document limit_memory and reserve_memory correctly on how to specify sizes.
* docker_swarm_service - Document minimal API version for configs and secrets.
* docker_swarm_service - fix use of Docker API so that services are not detected as present if there is an existing service whose name is a substring of the desired service
* docker_swarm_service - fixing falsely reporting update_order as changed when option is not used.
* document old option that was initally missed
* ec2_instance now respects check mode https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/46774
