Release Summary
- --------------
| Release Date: 2018-08-16
| `Porting Guide
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`_
Bugfixes
- -------
- Fix lxd module to be idempotent when the given configuration for the lxd
container has not changed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/38166)
- Fix setting value type to str to avoid conversion during template read.
Fix Idempotency in case of 'no key'.
- Fix the mount module's handling of swap entries in fstab
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42837)
- The fix for `CVE-2018-10875
<https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-10875>`_ prints out a
warning message about skipping a config file from a world writable current
working directory. However, if the user explicitly specifies that the
config file should be used via the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable then
Ansible would honor that but still print out the warning message. This has
been fixed so that Ansible honors the user's explicit wishes and does not
print a warning message in that circumstance.
- To fix the bug where existing host_record was deleted when existing
record name is used with different IP.
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43235)

connection plugins) when a syscall is restarted after being interrupted by
a signal (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41630)
- get_url - fix the bug that get_url does not change mode when checksum
matches (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29614)
- nicer error when multiprocessing breaks
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43090
- openssl_certificate - Convert valid_date to bytes for conversion
- openstack_inventory.py dynamic inventory file fixed the plugin to the
script so that it will work with current ansible-inventory. Also redirect
stdout before dumping the ouptput, because not doing so will cause JSON
parse errors in some cases. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43432)
- slack callback - Fix invocation by looking up data from cli.options
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43542)
