The following list summarizes the additions, changes, and modifications which were made to Ansible Tower v3.8.4.
Fixes in Ansible Tower:
Running inventories of ~60k hosts no longer takes a very long time for events to show up
Removed artifact_data from data sent to analytics as part of playbook_on_stats, since artifact_data can contain PII or sensitive data
Updated Django version to 2.2.20
Regular users are no longer experiencing longer load times than a superuser when clicking to edit a job template
Updated password validation support to allow modifying password complexity requirements using some Django configurations
Fixed AWS inventory tags filtering to support the OR condition
Fixed a python-urllib3 vulnerability (CVE-2021-33503)
Fixes in Ansible Platform 1.2.4:
Added the ability for Ansible Automation Platform 1.2.x to transition from venvs to execution environments smoothly to platform 2.x This includes three new awx-manage commands, check associations, and export venvs for building an execution environment.
Added Ansible 2.9.25 to the platform installer package
Fixed Tower’s NGINX Instance vulnerability (CVE-2021-23017). For any deployments on RHEL 8, the package comes from RHEL, and just applying the RHEL update resolves this.
Updated the backup and restore to now work without the automationhub group
