0.12.4rc1 0.12.4 is primarily a maintenance/bugfix release. Callback changes: - Task results as recorded by ARA are now "filtered" by Ansible's _dump_results method [1]. This will only be effective on task recording moving forward, it will not edit previously recorded playbooks. The _dump_results method strips Ansible 'internal' keys (_ansible_*) from the task results and also respects the 'no_log: yes' task directive. Prior to this change, ARA did not respect the no_log directive and recorded the raw task results as well as all the Ansible internal keys. Task results should be cleaner now and be properly censored when using 'no_log'. Internal changes: - Refactor of ARA's configuration module to fix issues in order to properly detect configuration parameters like booleans or lists. This refactor also brings cleaner backwards and forwards compatibility from Ansible 2.1 through 2.3. - Fixed issue to prevent PBR from throwing exceptions when overriding the version - Different changes in both the CLI and the testing framework in order to bootstrap and teardown the application properly to prevent context from leaking where it shouldn't be UI changes: - Javascript datatables in the UI where most of the content is displayed will now throw warnings in the background (javascript console) rather than in the foreground (javascript alert). These warnings are fairly expected, especially in the case of incomplete or interrupted playbooks. - Adjust wording when notifying users about a playbook that is incomplete or was interrupted to make it more straightforward - Performance improvements on the home and reports page, more optimization will follow in the future. - Fixed an odd problem where certain webservers (ex: nginx) would not behave well for the statically generated version of the reports. CLI changes: - The "ara generate html" command will now suppress "MissingURLGeneratorWarning" warnings by default. A new configuration parameter 'ignore_empty_generation' was introduced to revert back to the previous behavior. For context on this change, see the commit [2]. - Alembic messages that are not related to migrations are now sent to the background. Database: - Fix PosgreSQL support, add documentation for using it it and provide instructions for integration testing it Documentation: - The project now has a manifesto [3] to express in writing the project's core values and philosophy - Improved contributor documentation - Added a FAQ on running the ARA callback and the web application on different machines [1]: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/b3251c9585b0b0180fcdf09748e9a0dc439bc1aa/lib/ansible/plugins/callback/__init__.py [2]: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ara/commit/?id=440dac3789ca12c50f63a89850a7e65c1ac93789 [3]: http://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manifesto.html
