+releases:
+  2.15.0b1:
+    changes:
+      breaking_changes:
+      - ansible-doc - no longer treat plugins in collections whose name starts with
+        ``_`` as deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79217).
+      - ansible-test - Integration tests which depend on specific file permissions
+        when running in an ansible-test managed host environment may require changes.
+        Tests that require permissions other than ``755`` or ``644`` may need to be
+        updated to set the necessary permissions as part of the test run.
+      - ansible-test - The ``vcenter`` test plugin now defaults to using a user-provided
+        static configuration instead of the ``govcsim`` simulator for collections.
+        Set the ``ANSIBLE_VCSIM_CONTAINER`` environment variable to ``govcsim`` to
+        use the simulator. Keep in mind that the simulator is deprecated and will
+        be removed in a future release.
+      - ansible-test sanity - previously plugins and modules in collections whose
+        name started with ``_`` were treated as deprecated, even when they were not
+        marked as deprecated in ``meta/runtime.yml``. This is no longer the case (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
+      - ansible-test validate-modules - Removed the ``missing-python-doc`` error code
+        in validate modules, ``missing-documentation`` is used instead for missing
+        PowerShell module documentation.
+      bugfixes:
+      - Ansible.Basic.cs - Ignore compiler warning (reported as an error) when running
+        under PowerShell 7.3.x.
+      - BSD network facts - Do not assume column indexes, look for ``netmask`` and
+        ``broadcast`` for determining the correct columns when parsing ``inet`` line
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79117)
+      - Correctly count rescued tasks in play recap (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79711)
+      - Do not crash when templating an expression with a test or filter that is not
+        a valid Ansible filter name (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78912,
+        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78913).
+      - Fix ``MANIFEST.in`` to exclude unwanted files in the ``packaging/`` directory.
+      - Fix ``MANIFEST.in`` to include ``*.md`` files in the ``test/support/`` directory.
+      - Fix a traceback occuring when a task is named ``meta`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79459)
+      - Fix an issue where the value of ``become`` was ignored when used on a role
+        used as a dependency in ``main/meta.yml`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79777)
+      - Fix bug in `vars` applied to roles, they were being incorrectly exported among
+        others while only vars/main.yml was meant to be. Also adjusted the precedence
+        to act the same as inline params.
+      - Fix conditionally notifying ``include_tasks` handlers when ``force_handlers``
+        is used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79776)
+      - Fix reusing a connection in a task loop that uses a redirected or aliased
+        name - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78425
+      - Fix setting become activation in a task loop - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78425
+      - Fix traceback when using the ``template`` module and running with ``ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1``
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79763)
+      - Fix using ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` in conjunction with collections in requirements
+        files which specify a specific ``source`` that isn't in the configured servers.
+      - Fix using ``GALAXY_IGNORE_CERTS`` when downloading tarballs from Galaxy servers
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79557).
+      - Fixes leftover _valid_attrs usage.
+      - Fixes the password lookup to not rewrite files if they are not changed when
+        using the "encrypt" parameter (#79430).
+      - Module and role argument validation - include the valid suboption choices
+        in the error when an invalid suboption is provided.
+      - Perform type check on data passed to Display.display to enforce the requirement
+        of being given a python3 unicode string
+      - TaskExecutor - don't ignore templated _raw_params that k=v parser failed to
+        parse (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862)
+      - Windows - Display a warning if the module failed to cleanup any temporary
+        files rather than failing the task. The warning contains a brief description
+        of what failed to be deleted.
+      - Windows - Ensure the module temp directory contains more unique values to
+        avoid conflicts with concurrent runs - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80294
+      - Windows - Improve temporary file cleanup used by modules. Will use a more
+        reliable delete operation on Windows Server 2016 and newer to delete files
+        that might still be open by other software like Anti Virus scanners. There
+        are still scenarios where a file or directory cannot be deleted but the new
+        method should work in more scenarios.
+      - '``ansible-galaxy search rolename`` - give a warning instead of non-zero return
+        code when search results are empty. This is similar to the behavior when listing
+        roles, which gives a warning if a role cannot be found and exits with a return
+        code of ``0``.'
+      - '``ansible_eval_concat`` - avoid redundant unsafe wrapping of templated strings
+        converted to Python types'
+      - ansible-config limit shorthand format to assigned values
+      - ansible-doc - stop generating wrong module URLs for module see-alsos. The
+        URLs for modules in ansible.builtin do now work, and URLs for modules outside
+        ansible.builtin are no longer added (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80280).
+      - ansible-doc now will correctly display short descriptions on listing filters/tests
+        no matter the directory sorting.
+      - ansible-galaxy - Improve retries for collection installs, to properly retry,
+        and extend retry logic to common URL related connection errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80170
+        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80174)
+      - ansible-galaxy - fix installing collections in git repositories/directories
+        which contain a MANIFEST.json file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79796).
+      - ansible-galaxy - make initial call to Galaxy server on-demand only when installing,
+        getting info about, and listing roles.
+      - ansible-galaxy collection install - respect symlinks when installing from
+        source or local repository (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78442)
+      - ansible-galaxy collection/role init - preserve symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39334).
+      - ansible-galaxy role info - fix unhandled AttributeError by catching the correct
+        exception.
+      - ansible-inventory will no longer duplicate host entries if they were part
+        of a group's childrens tree.
+      - ansible-inventory will not explicitly sort groups/hosts anymore, giving a
+        chance (depending on output format) to match the order in the input sources.
+      - ansible-playbook -K breaks when passwords have quotes (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79836).
+      - ansible-test - Add ``wheel < 0.38.0`` constraint for Python 3.6 and earlier.
+      - ansible-test - Add support for ``pytest`` assertion rewriting when running
+        unit tests on Python 3.5 and later. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/68032
+      - ansible-test - Added a work-around for a traceback under Python 3.11 when
+        completing certain command line options.
+      - ansible-test - Allow disabled, unsupported, unstable and destructive integration
+        test targets to be selected using their respective prefixes.
+      - ansible-test - Allow unstable tests to run when targeted changes are made
+        and the ``--allow-unstable-changed`` option is specified (resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74213).
+      - ansible-test - Always indicate the Python version being used before installing
+        requirements. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72855
+      - ansible-test - Avoid using ``exec`` after container startup when possible.
+        This improves container startup performance and avoids intermittent startup
+        issues with some old containers.
+      - ansible-test - Connection attempts to managed remote instances no longer abort
+        on ``Permission denied`` errors.
+      - ansible-test - Detection for running in a Podman or Docker container has been
+        fixed to detect more scenarios. The new detection relies on ``/proc/self/mountinfo``
+        instead of ``/proc/self/cpuset``. Detection now works with custom cgroups
+        and private cgroup namespaces.
+      - ansible-test - Exclude ansible-core vendored Python packages from ansible-test
+        payloads.
+      - ansible-test - Fix broken documentation link for ``aws`` test plugin error
+        messages.
+      - ansible-test - Fix validate-modules error when retrieving PowerShell argspec
+        when retrieved inside a Cmdlet
+      - ansible-test - Handle server errors when executing the ``docker info`` command.
+      - ansible-test - Integration test target prefixes defined in a ``tests/integration/target-prefixes.{group}``
+        file can now contain an underscore (``_``) character. Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79225
+      - ansible-test - Multiple containers now work under Podman without specifying
+        the ``--docker-network`` option.
+      - ansible-test - Pass the ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` environment variable through to
+        container commands.
+      - ansible-test - Perform PyPI proxy configuration after instances are ready
+        and bootstrapping has been completed. Only target instances are affected,
+        as controller instances were already handled this way. This avoids proxy configuration
+        errors when target instances are not yet ready for use.
+      - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat inspections of the same container
+        image.
+      - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent / repeat pulls of the same container image.
+      - ansible-test - Prevent concurrent execution of cached methods.
+      - ansible-test - Removed pointless comparison in diff evaluation logic.
+      - ansible-test - Set ``PYLINTHOME`` for the ``pylint`` sanity test to prevent
+        failures due to ``pylint`` checking for the existence of an obsolete home
+        directory.
+      - ansible-test - Show the exception type when reporting errors during instance
+        provisioning.
+      - ansible-test - Support Podman 4.4.0+ by adding the ``SYS_CHROOT`` capability
+        when running containers.
+      - ansible-test - Support loading of vendored Python packages from ansible-core.
+      - ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test now properly enforces
+        documentation before imports for plugins. Previously this was only enforced
+        for modules due to a coding error.
+      - ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test requirements to resolve crashes
+        on Python 3.11. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78882)
+      - ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 2.15.4.
+      - ansible-test - Update the ``pylint`` sanity test to use version 2.15.5.
+      - ansible-test - Use consistent file permissions when delegating tests to a
+        container or remote host. Files with any execute bit set will use permissions
+        ``755``. All other files will use permissions ``644``. (Resolves issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75079)
+      - ansible-test - fix warning message about failing to run an image to include
+        the image name
+      - ansible-test runtime-metadata sanity test - do not crash on YAML parsing errors
+        without a context mark (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78802).
+      - ansible-test sanity - correctly report invalid YAML in validate-modules (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75837).
+      - ansible-vault encrypt_string - started appending a line feed at the end of
+        the encrypted string output. Missing newline character caused problems identifying
+        where the string ends in some shells (like bash) or accidentally copying an
+        extra trailing terminator symbol (e.g., zsh prints out a ``%`` sign to signal
+        where the original output stops) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78932).
+      - ansible_facts.hardware - Define all processor facts on s390x (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/19755)
+      - apt - set locale to fix updating the cache (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79523).
+      - apt module should not traceback on invalid type given as package. issue 78663.
+      - apt_repository will no longer fail to detect key when unrelated errors/warnings
+        are issued by apt-key.
+      - argument spec validation - again report deprecated parameters for Python-based
+        modules. This was accidentally removed in ansible-core 2.11 when argument
+        spec validation was refactored (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79680,
+        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79681).
+      - argument spec validation - ensure that deprecated aliases in suboptions are
+        also reported (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
+      - argument spec validation - fix warning message when two aliases of the same
+        option are used for suboptions to also mention the option's name they are
+        in (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79740).
+      - basic.py module_utils - Perform Python version check much earlier to ensure
+        it runs before other errors occur.
+      - connection local now avoids traceback on invalid user being used to execuet
+        ansible (valid in host, but not in container).
+      - copy - fix creating the dest directory in check mode with remote_src=True
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78611).
+      - copy - fix reporting changes to file attributes in check mode with remote_src=True
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77957).
+      - copy module will no longer move 'non files' set as src when remote_src=true.
+      - copy remote_src=true - fix copying subdirs recursively when the dest exists
+        and the src and dest have multiple common subdirectories in a common directory
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74536).
+      - copy remote_src=true - fix reporting changed for copying empty directories.
+      - display - reduce risk of post-fork output deadlocks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79522)
+      - file - touch action in check mode was always returning ok. Fix now evaluates
+        the different conditions and returns the appropriate changed status. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79360)
+      - file lookup now handles missing files more gracefully.
+      - file lookup now plays nice with generic lookup ``errors`` option.
+      - get_url - Ensure we are passing ciphers to all url_get calls (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79717)
+      - get_url module - Added a documentation reference to ``hashlib`` regarding
+        algorithms, as well as a note about ``md5`` support on systems running in
+        FIPS compliant mode.
+      - get_url module - Removed out-of-date documentation stating that ``hashlib``
+        is a third-party library.
+      - 'handlers - fix an issue where the ``flush_handlers`` meta task could not
+        be used with FQCN: ``ansible.builtin.meta`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79023)'
+      - include_role - Inherit from role parents beyond a depth of 3 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/47023).
+      - jinja2_native - fix intermittent 'could not find job' failures when a value
+        of ``ansible_job_id`` from a result of an async task was inadvertently changed
+        during execution; to prevent this a format of ``ansible_job_id`` was changed.
+      - 'jinja2_native: preserve quotes in strings (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79083)'
+      - keyword inheritance - Ensure that we do not squash keywords in validate (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79021)
+      - known_hosts - do not return changed status when a non-existing key is removed
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78598)
+      - list-tags now shows the 'never' tag, which was being excluded by default.
+        To list all tasks you still need to add `--list-tasks --tags never,all`.
+      - loops/delegate_to - Do not double calculate the values of loops and ``delegate_to``
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80038)
+      - module_utils/basic.py - Fix detection of available hashing algorithms on Python
+        3.x. All supported algorithms are now available instead of being limited to
+        a hard-coded list. This affects modules such as ``get_url`` which accept an
+        arbitrary checksum algorithm.
+      - normal action plugin - remove obsolete ``if`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79690).
+      - omit on keywords was resetting to default value, ignoring inheritance.
+      - paramiko - Add a new option to allow paramiko >= 2.9 to easily work with all
+        devices now that rsa-sha2 support was added to paramiko, which prevented communication
+        with numerous platforms. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76737)
+      - paramiko - Add back support for ``ssh_args``, ``ssh_common_args``, and ``ssh_extra_args``
+        for parsing the ``ProxyCommand`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78750)
+      - paramiko connection was still using outdated playcontext, this should bring
+        it up to date to use the 'correct' data for each task/loop.
+      - password lookup now correctly reads stored ident fields.
+      - password_hash - handle errors using unknown passlib hashtypes more gracefully
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/45392).
+      - plugin loader, fix detection for existing configuration before initializing
+        for a plugin
+      - role deduplication - Always create new role object, regardless of deduplication.
+        Deduplication will only affect whether a duplicate call to a role will execute,
+        as opposed to re-using the same object. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78661)
+      - roles - Fix templating ``public``, ``allow_duplicates`` and ``rolespec_validate``
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80304).
+      - service_facts - Use python re to parse service output instead of grep (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78541)
+      - strategy plugins now correctly identify bad registered variables, even on
+        skip.
+      - 'strategy plugins: get the correctly templated and validated run_once value
+        on strategy linear (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78492)'
+      - systemd - daemon-reload and daemon-reexec ignore errors when running in a
+        chroot (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79643)
+      - templates - Fixed ``TypeError`` when a lookup plugin has an option called
+        ``name``.
+      - unarchive - allow relative path for ``dest`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64612)
+      - unarchive - log errors from commands to assist in debugging (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64612)
+      - updated error messages to include 'acl' and not just mode changes when failing
+        to set required permissions on remote.
+      - uri - improve JSON content type detection
+      - user - fix comparing group IDs to existing group names so groups are not always
+        updated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79956).
+      - user module - Removed ``password_expire_max`` from the return docs, as it
+        is not returned.
+      - user module - Removed ``password_expire_min`` from the return docs, as it
+        is not returned.
+      - vault - show filename additionally if missing secrets prevents decryption
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79723)
+      - winrm - Increase the read timeout to 10 seconds later than the operation timeout
+        reducing the chances of a false read timeout
+      deprecated_features:
+      - The ``ConnectionBase()._new_stdin`` attribute is deprecated, use ``display.prompt_until(msg)``
+        instead.
+      - ansible-test - The ``foreman`` test plugin is now deprecated. It will be removed
+        in a future release.
+      - ansible-test - The ``govcsim`` simulator in the ``vcenter`` test plugin is
+        now deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. Users should switch
+        to providing their own test environment through a static configuration file.
+      - password_hash - deprecate using passlib.hash.hashtype if hashtype isn't in
+        the list of documented choices.
+      - vars - Specifying a list of dictionaries for ``vars:`` is deprecated in favor
+        of specifying a dictionary.
+      known_issues:
+      - ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container
+        host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing
+        documentation.
+      - ansible-test - Custom containers with ``VOLUME`` instructions may be unable
+        to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the ``VOLUME``
+        instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause
+        ``ansible-test`` to emit a warning.
+      - ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run
+        containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking
+        issues to continue using ``ansible-test`` with Podman.
+      - ansible-test - Unit tests for collections do not support ``pytest`` assertion
+        rewriting on Python 2.7.
+      - ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux
+        to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
+      - 'dnf5 - The DNF5 package manager currently does not provide all functionality
+        to ensure feature parity between the existing ``dnf`` and the new ``dnf5``
+        module. As a result the following ``dnf5`` options are effectively a no-op:
+        ``cacheonly``, ``enable_plugin``, ``disable_plugin`` and ``lock_timeout``.'
+      major_changes:
+      - ansible-test - Docker Desktop on WSL2 is now supported (additional configuration
+        required).
+      - ansible-test - Docker and Podman are now supported on hosts with cgroup v2
+        unified. Previously only cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 hybrid were supported.
+      - ansible-test - Podman now works on container hosts without systemd. Previously
+        only some containers worked, while others required rootfull or rootless Podman,
+        but would not work with both. Some containers did not work at all.
+      - ansible-test - Podman on WSL2 is now supported.
+      - ansible-test - When additional cgroup setup is required on the container host,
+        this will be automatically detected. Instructions on how to configure the
+        host will be provided in the error message shown.
+      minor_changes:
+      - Add support for custom salt for vault encoding to make it deterministic (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/35480).
+      - Added the conditional that was False if ``when`` caused a task to skip under
+        ``false_condition``.
+      - Allow force deletion of a group even when it is the primary group of a user.
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77849)
+      - Ansible.ModuleUtils.AddType - Add support for compiling ``unsafe`` code with
+        the ``//AllowUnsafe`` directive
+      - Cache field attributes list on the playbook classes
+      - Cleaned up unused imports in core.
+      - Get user input for ``pause`` and ``paramiko_ssh`` from the strategy rather
+        than access ``sys.stdin`` in the WorkerProcess.
+      - Introduce ``Delegatable`` and ``Notifiable`` mixin classes for playbook objects
+      - Make using blocks as handlers a parser error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79968)
+      - Playbook objects - Replace deprecated stacked ``@classmethod`` and ``@property``
+      - Raise an error when an incorrect ``isa`` type is passed to ``FieldAttribute``.
+      - Remove fallback code for when ``defined``/``undefined`` tests were used on
+        objects containing nested undefined variables; due to changes in lazy evalution
+        of Jinja2 expressions it is no longer needed.
+      - 'Remove unused Python stdlib imports from module_utils which were not present
+        for backwards compatibility in: common.file, compat.selectors, facts.network.iscsi,
+        facts.network.nvme, yumdnf
+
+        '
+      - 'Remove unused internal imports from module_utils which were not present for
+        backwards compatibility in: common.file, common.parameters, facts.system.caps,
+        yumdnf
+
+        '
+      - Removed ``straight.plugin`` from the build and packaging requirements.
+      - 'Removed unused imports from the following action plugins: async_status, command,
+        pause, set_stats, uri, validate_argument_spec'
+      - 'Removed unused imports from the following lookup plugins: fileglob, template'
+      - 'Removed unused imports from the following modules: apt, dnf, expect, pip,
+        slurp, user, yum'
+      - 'Removed unused imports from the following set of test plugins: files'
+      - 'Removed unused imports from the following strategy plugins: debug'
+      - 'Removed unused imports from the following vars plugins: host_group_vars'
+      - Use ``ansible.module_utils.six.moves.collections_abc`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat``
+        in modules and module_utils.
+      - Use ``collections.abc`` instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat``
+        in controller code.
+      - '``AnsibleJ2Vars`` class that acts as a storage for all variables for templating
+        purposes now uses ``collections.ChainMap`` internally.'
+      - add parameter ``numeric`` to the iptables module to disable dns lookups when
+        running list -action internally (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78793).
+      - allow user to set ansible specific env vars for selecting pager and editor,
+        but still fall back to commonly used defaults.
+      - ansible-doc - support role extension for semantic markup spec so that ``O()``
+        and ``RV()`` referring to role entrypoints are rendered more readable (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80305).
+      - ansible-doc - support semantic markup in text output (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80242).
+      - ansible-doc text output - support ``seealso`` plugin record that was added
+        for filter and test plugin documentation (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80212).
+      - ansible-galaxy - Add ability to specify collection versions on the CLI without
+        the need for a colon. Such as ``namespace.name==1.2.3`` vs ``namespace.name:1.2.3``.
+      - ansible-galaxy - Use Python's native ``raise ... from`` instead of ``six.raise_from``.
+      - ansible-galaxy - support ``resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 0.10.0``.
+      - ansible-galaxy - support ``resolvelib >= 0.5.3, < 1.1.0``.
+      - ansible-inventory now supports the limit command line options.
+      - ansible-test - A new ``audit`` option is available when running custom containers.
+        This option can be used to indicate whether a container requires the AUDIT_WRITE
+        capability. The default is ``required``, which most containers will need when
+        using Podman. If necessary, the ``none`` option can be used to opt-out of
+        the capability. This has no effect on Docker, which always provides the capability.
+      - ansible-test - A new ``cgroup`` option is available when running custom containers.
+        This option can be used to indicate a container requires cgroup v1 or that
+        it does not use cgroup. The default behavior assumes the container works with
+        cgroup v2 (as well as v1).
+      - ansible-test - Add Alpine 3.17 remote.
+      - ansible-test - Add Fedora 37 container.
+      - ansible-test - Add Fedora 37 remote.
+      - ansible-test - Add FreeBSD 12.4 remote.
+      - ansible-test - Add RHEL 8.7 remote.
+      - ansible-test - Add RHEL 9.1 remote.
+      - ansible-test - Add macOS 13.2 remote.
+      - ansible-test - Additional log details are shown when containers fail to start
+        or SSH connections to containers fail.
+      - ansible-test - Connection failures to remote provisioned hosts now show failure
+        details as a warning.
+      - ansible-test - Containers included with ansible-test no longer disable seccomp
+        by default.
+      - ansible-test - Disabled the ``ansible-format-automatic-specification`` rule
+        from the ``pylint`` sanity test, now that Python 2.6 is no longer supported.
+      - ansible-test - Enable the ``trailing-comma-tuple`` rule in the ``pylint``
+        sanity test.
+      - ansible-test - Enable the ``unused-import`` rule for the ``pylint`` sanity
+        test for collections.
+      - ansible-test - Failure to connect to a container over SSH now results in a
+        clear error. Previously tests would be attempted even after initial connection
+        attempts failed.
+      - ansible-test - Improve consistency of executed ``pylint`` commands by making
+        the plugins ordered.
+      - ansible-test - Improve consistency of version specific documentation links.
+      - ansible-test - Integration tests can be excluded from retries triggered by
+        the ``--retry-on-error`` option by adding the ``retry/never`` alias. This
+        is useful for tests that cannot pass on a retry or are too slow to make retries
+        useful.
+      - ansible-test - Minor cleanup and package updates in distro containers.
+      - ansible-test - More details are provided about an instance when provisioning
+        fails.
+      - ansible-test - Moved git handling out of the validate-modules sanity test
+        and into ansible-test.
+      - ansible-test - Reduce the polling limit for SSHD startup in containers from
+        60 retries to 10. The one second delay between retries remains in place.
+      - 'ansible-test - Removed test containers: fedora36'
+      - 'ansible-test - Removed test remotes: alpine/3.16, fedora/36, freebsd/12.3,
+        rhel/8.6, rhel/9.0, macos/12.0'
+      - ansible-test - Removed the ``--keep-git`` sanity test option, which was limited
+        to testing ansible-core itself.
+      - ansible-test - SSH connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to CentOS 6 containers now
+        work without additional configuration. However, clients older than OpenSSH
+        7.0 can no longer connect to CentOS 6 containers as a result. The container
+        must have ``centos6`` in the image name for this work-around to be applied.
+      - ansible-test - SSH shell connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to ansible-test provisioned
+        network instances now work without additional configuration. However, clients
+        older than OpenSSH 7.0 can no longer open shell sessions for ansible-test
+        provisioned network instances as a result.
+      - 'ansible-test - Specify the configuration file location required by test plugins
+        when the config file is not found. This resolves issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79411'
+      - ansible-test - The ``ansible-test env`` command now detects and reports the
+        container ID if running in a container.
+      - ansible-test - The ``pep8`` sanity test rule ``E203`` is now disabled since
+        it is not PEP 8 compliant. This provides compatibility with output generated
+        by the ``black`` code formatter.
+      - ansible-test - The ``validate-modules`` sanity test no longer limits the ``__future__``
+        imports that can be used. Other sanity tests that check ``__future__`` imports
+        remain unchanged. As a result, the error code ``illegal-future-imports`` is
+        no longer used.
+      - ansible-test - Unit tests now support network disconnect by default when running
+        under Podman. Previously this feature only worked by default under Docker.
+      - ansible-test - Update Alpine 3 container to 3.17.
+      - ansible-test - Update Python requirements used for sanity tests.
+      - ansible-test - Update ``base`` and ``default`` containers to include Python
+        3.11.0.
+      - ansible-test - Update ``default`` containers to include new ``docs-build``
+        sanity test requirements.
+      - ansible-test - Update error handling code to use Python 3.x constructs, avoiding
+        direct use of ``errno``.
+      - ansible-test - Update test container to ``7.4.0`` which includes the new PSScriptAnalyzer
+        versions
+      - ansible-test - Update the CloudStack test plugin to use a newer test container
+        with CloudStack 4.18.0.
+      - ansible-test - Update the NIOS test plugin to use a newer multi-arch test
+        container.
+      - ansible-test - Update the ``ansible-bad-import-from`` rule in the ``pylint``
+        sanity test to recommend ``ansible.module_utils.six.moves.collections_abc``
+        instead of ``ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat``.
+      - ansible-test - Update the ``base`` and ``default`` test containers with the
+        latest requirements.
+      - ansible-test - Updated the Azure Pipelines CI plugin to work with newer versions
+        of git.
+      - ansible-test - Use ``stop --time 0`` followed by ``rm`` to remove ephemeral
+        containers instead of ``rm -f``. This speeds up teardown of ephemeral containers.
+      - ansible-test - Warnings are now shown when using containers that were built
+        with VOLUME instructions.
+      - ansible-test - When setting the max open files for containers, the container
+        host's limit will be checked. If the host limit is lower than the preferred
+        value, it will be used and a warning will be shown.
+      - ansible-test - When using Podman, ansible-test will detect if the loginuid
+        used in containers is incorrect. When this occurs a warning is displayed and
+        the container is run with the AUDIT_CONTROL capability. Previously containers
+        would fail under this situation, with no useful warnings or errors given.
+      - ansible-test acme test container - update version to update used Pebble version,
+        underlying Python and Go base containers, and Python requirements (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79783).
+      - ansible-test pslint - Upgrade PSScriptAnalyzer to ``1.21.0`` which enables
+        the ``AvoidMultipleTypeAttributes``, ``AvoidSemicolonsAsLineTerminators``,
+        and ``AvoidUsingBrokenHashAlgorithms`` rules
+      - ansible-test runtime-metadata sanity test - ensure that ``redirect`` entries
+        in ``meta/runtime.yml`` contain collection names, except for ``module_utils``
+        plugin redirects and ``import_redirect`` redirects (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78802).
+      - ansible-test sanity --test ansible-doc - now also lists documentation for
+        test and filter plugins that are documented (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77737).
+      - ansible-test validate-modules - Added support for validating module documentation
+        stored in a sidecar file alongside the module (``{module}.yml`` or ``{module}.yaml``).
+        Previously these files were ignored and documentation had to be placed in
+        ``{module}.py``.
+      - ansible-test validate-modules - no longer treat falsy non-``False`` values
+        for defaults as ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79267).
+      - apt - add allow-change-held-packages option to apt remove (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78131)
+      - apt_repository - adds ``sources_added`` and ``sources_removed`` to the return
+        of the module (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79306).
+      - apt_repository will use the trust repo directories in order of preference
+        (more appropriate to less) as they exist on the target.
+      - collections - Add additional ignores for commonly rejected file extensions
+      - collections - Add additional includes for REUSE license files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79368)
+      - deb822_repository - Add new module for managing DEB822 formatted apt repositories
+      - debug - Perform argspec valdiation in debug action plugin (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862)
+      - dnf5 - Add new module for managing packages and other artifacts via the next
+        version of DNF (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78898)
+      - galaxy - include ``license_file`` in the default manifest directives (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull-request/79420)
+      - optimized var loading by caching results as there is no variance in input
+        during run.
+      - pycompat24 module_utils - Remove support for Python 2.5 and earlier.
+      - sanity tests - updates the collection-deprecated-version tests to ignore the
+        ``prerelease`` component of the collection version ().
+      - strftime filter, additional docs and links to source of truth.
+      - updated the vendored distro library to upstream version (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79227)
+      - validate-modules sanity test - add support for semantic markup (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80243).
+      - validate-modules sanity test - if the ``check_mode`` attribute is present,
+        check that it coincides with the ``support_check_mode`` parameter of ``AnsibleModule``
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80090).
+      - validate-modules sanity test - remove support for the never implemented ``forced_action_plugin``
+        attribute (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79317).
+      - validate-modules sanity test - support the ``plugin`` see-also part of the
+        semantic markup specification (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80244).
