Deprecated the Administrator Alert functionality in the Tower settings, which will be removed in a later release
Deprecated Inventory Scripts. Users who use custom inventory scripts should migrate to sourcing these scripts from a project.
Removed the deprecated ask_ fields in the Job Details view to reduce confusion. This does not affect the functionality of prompting.
Removed the ability to use Ubuntu as a Tower platform
Removed the OAuth2 Implicit grant type. Existing “implicit” Applications will persist, but new ones cannot be created.
Removed v1 of the api (/api/v1). All queries must be made in /api/v2.
Removed the following API endpoints:
Job template credential field (in either v1 or v2)
Corresponding credential field on workflow job template nodes
Removed restriction of automation when license expires or host count is over the license count
Fixed the OpenStack credential type so that it applies to SCM inventory updates as well
Updated PostgreSQL to version 10
Updated Django to version 2.2.4 and Django REST Framework to 3.9.4
Updated OAuth2 implicit grant type applications as it is no longer recommended to use them
Updated the Automation Analytics data collection feature
Updated job template runs to use a private copy of the project for each run. Attempting to store state between playbook runs by writing to the project repository will no longer work.
