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 and rules.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 of server_ip to identify the server. Hetzner deprecated configuring the firewall by server_ip, so using server_ip will stop at some point in the future (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/77).
