Bugfix release.
Bugfixes

v2.0.0
Release Summary
New major release 2.0.0.
Major Changes
The
community.hrobot
collection now depends on thecommunity.library_inventory_filtering_v1
collection. This utility collection provides host filtering functionality for inventory plugins. If you use the Ansible community package, both collections are included and you do not have to do anything special. If you install the collection withansible-galaxy collection install
, it will be installed automatically. If you install the collection by copying the files of the collection to a place where ansible-core can find it, for example by cloning the git repository, you need to make sure that you also have to install the dependency if you are using the inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/101).
Minor Changes
robot inventory plugin - add
filter
option which allows to include and exclude hosts based on Jinja2 conditions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/101).
Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
robot inventory plugin -
filters
is now no longer an alias ofsimple_filters
, but a new, different option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/101).
Removed Features (previously deprecated)
The collection no longer supports Ansible, ansible-base, and ansible-core releases that are currently End of Life at the time of the 2.0.0 release. This means that Ansible 2.9, ansible-base 2.10, ansible-core 2.11, ansible-core 2.12, and ansible-core 2.13 are no longer supported. The collection might still work with these versions, but it can stop working at any moment without advance notice, and this will not be considered a bug (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/101).
v1.9.2
Release Summary
Bugfix release.
Bugfixes
inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain
{
or}
as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/102).
v1.9.1
Release Summary
Bugfix release.
Security Fixes
robot inventory plugin - make sure all data received from the Hetzner robot service server is marked as unsafe, so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated as templates is not possible (https://www.die-welt.net/2024/03/remote-code-execution-in-ansible-dynamic-inventory-plugins/, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/99).
v1.9.0
Release Summary
Feature and maintenance release.
Minor Changes
robot inventory plugin - the
filters
option has been renamed tosimple_filters
. The old name still works until community.hrobot 2.0.0. Then it will change to allow more complex filtering with thecommunity.library_inventory_filtering_v1
collection’s functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/94).
Deprecated Features
robot inventory plugin - the
filters
option has been renamed tosimple_filters
. The old name will stop working in community.hrobot 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/94).
v1.8.2
Release Summary
Maintenance release with updated documentation.
Bugfixes
Show more information (if available) from error messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/89).
v1.8.1
Release Summary
Maintenance release with updated documentation.
From this version on, community.hrobot is using the new Ansible semantic markup in its documentation. If you look at documentation with the ansible-doc CLI tool from ansible-core before 2.15, please note that it does not render the markup correctly. You should be still able to read it in most cases, but you need ansible-core 2.15 or later to see it as it is intended. Alternatively you can look at the devel docsite for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release.
Known Issues
Ansible markup will show up in raw form on ansible-doc text output for ansible-core before 2.15. If you have trouble deciphering the documentation markup, please upgrade to ansible-core 2.15 (or newer), or read the HTML documentation on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/hrobot/.
v1.8.0
Release Summary
Feature release for the Hetzner firewall changes.
Major Changes
firewall - Hetzner added output rules support to the firewall. This change unfortunately means that using old versions of the firewall module will always set the output rule list to empty, thus disallowing the server to send out packets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/issues/75, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/76).
Minor Changes
firewall, firewall_info - add
filter_ipv6
andrules.output
output to support the new IPv6 filtering and output rules features (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/issues/75, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/76).firewall, firewall_info - add
server_number
option that can be used instead ofserver_ip
to identify the server. Hetzner deprecated configuring the firewall byserver_ip
, so usingserver_ip
will stop at some point in the future (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/77).
