v2.8.3

Release Summary

Maintenance release with updated documentation.

From this version on, community.routeros 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/routeros/.

• command, facts - commands do not timeout in safe mode anymore (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/134).

Known Issues

• api_modify - when limits for entries in queue tree are defined as human readable - for example 25M -, the configuration will be correctly set in ROS, but the module will indicate the item is changed on every run even when there was no change done. This is caused by the ROS API which returns the number in bytes - for example 25000000 (which is inconsistent with the CLI behavior). In order to mitigate that, the limits have to be defined in bytes (those will still appear as human readable in the ROS CLI) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/131).

• api_modify, api_info - routing ospf area, routing ospf area range, routing ospf instance, routing ospf interface-template paths are not fully implemented for ROS6 due to the significant changes between ROS6 and ROS7 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/131).

v2.3.1

Release Summary

Maintenance release with improved documentation.

Known Issues

• The community.routeros.command module claims to support check mode. Since it cannot judge whether the commands executed modify state or not, this behavior is incorrect. Since this potentially breaks existing playbooks, we will not change this behavior until community.routeros 3.0.0.

• Added a community.routeros.api module defaults group. Use with group/community.routeros.api to provide options for all API-based modules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/89).

• Prepare collection for inclusion in an Execution Environment by declaring its dependencies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/83).

• api - add new option extended query more complex queries against RouterOS API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/63).

• api - update query to accept symbolic parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/63).

• api* modules - allow to set an encoding other than the default ASCII for communicating with the API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/95).

Bugfixes

• query - fix query function check for .id vs. id arguments to not conflict with routeros arguments like identity (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/68, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/issues/67).

• quoting and unquoting filter plugins, api module - handle the escape sequence \_ correctly as escaping a space and not an underscore (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/89).

New Modules

• community.routeros.api_facts - Collect facts from remote devices running MikroTik RouterOS using the API

• community.routeros.api_find_and_modify - Find and modify information using the API

v2.0.0

Release Summary

A new major release with breaking changes in the behavior of community.routeros.api and community.routeros.command.

Minor Changes

• api - make validation of WHERE for query more strict (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/53).

• command - the commands and wait_for options now convert the list elements to strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/55).

• facts - the gather_subset option now converts the list elements to strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/55).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

• api - due to a programming error, the module never failed on errors. This has now been fixed. If you are relying on the module not failing in case of idempotent commands (resulting in errors like failure: already have such address), you need to adjust your roles/playbooks. We suggest to use failed_when to accept failure in specific circumstances, for example failed_when: "'failure: already have ' in result.msg[0]" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/39).

• api - splitting commands no longer uses a naive split by whitespace, but a more RouterOS CLI compatible splitting algorithm (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/45).

• command - the module now always indicates that a change happens. If this is not correct, please use changed_when to determine the correct changed status for a task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/50).

Bugfixes

• api - improve splitting of WHERE queries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/47).

• api - when converting result lists to dictionaries, no longer removes second = and text following that if present (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/47).

• routeros cliconf plugin - adjust function signature that was modified in Ansible after creation of this plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/43).

New Plugins

Filter

• community.routeros.join - Join a list of arguments to a command

• community.routeros.list_to_dict - Convert a list of arguments to a list of dictionary

• community.routeros.quote_argument - Quote an argument

• community.routeros.quote_argument_value - Quote an argument value

• community.routeros.split - Split a command into arguments

v1.2.0

Release Summary

Bugfix and feature release.

Minor Changes

• Avoid internal ansible-core module_utils in favor of equivalent public API available since at least Ansible 2.9 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/38).

• api - add options validate_certs (default value true), validate_cert_hostname (default value false), and ca_path to control certificate validation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/37).

• api - rename option ssl to tls, and keep the old name as an alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/37).

• fact - add fact ansible_net_config_nonverbose to get idempotent config (no date, no verbose) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/23).

Bugfixes

• api - when using TLS/SSL, remove explicit cipher configuration to insecure values, which also makes it impossible to connect to newer RouterOS versions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/34).

v1.1.0

Release Summary

This release allow dashes in usernames for SSH-based modules.

Minor Changes

• command - added support for a dash (-) in username (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/18).

• facts - added support for a dash (-) in username (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/18).

v1.0.1

Release Summary

Maintenance release with a bugfix for api.

Bugfixes

• api - remove id to .id as default requirement which conflicts with RouterOS id configuration parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/15).

v1.0.0

Release Summary

This is the first production (non-prerelease) release of community.routeros.

Bugfixes

• routeros terminal plugin - allow slashes in hostnames for terminal detection. Without this, slashes in hostnames will result in connection timeouts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/138).

v0.1.1

Release Summary

Small improvements and bugfixes over the initial release.

Bugfixes

• api - fix crash when the ssl parameter is used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/3).

v0.1.0

Release Summary

The community.routeros continues the work on the Ansible RouterOS modules from their state in community.network 1.2.0. The changes listed here are thus relative to the modules community.network.routeros_*.

Minor Changes

• facts - now also collecting data about BGP and OSPF (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/101).

• facts - set configuration export on to verbose, for full configuration export (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/104).
