*************************
Ansible 2.6 Porting Guide
*************************
-This section discusses the behavioral changes between Ansible 2.5 and Ansible 2.6.
-
-It is intended to assist in updating your playbooks, plugins and other parts of your Ansible infrastructure so they will work with this version of Ansible.
-
-We suggest you read this page along with `Ansible Changelog for 2.6 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.6/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.6.rst>`_ to understand what updates you may need to make.
-
-This document is part of a collection on porting. The complete list of porting guides can be found at :ref:`porting guides <porting_guides>`.
-
-.. contents:: Topics
-
-Playbook
-========
-
-* The deprecated task option ``always_run`` has been removed, please use ``check_mode: no`` instead.
-
-Deprecated
-==========
-
-* In the :ref:`nxos_igmp_interface module<nxos_igmp_interface_module>`, ``oif_prefix`` and ``oif_source`` properties are deprecated. Use ``ois_ps`` parameter with a dictionary of prefix and source to values instead.
-
-Modules
-=======
-
-Major changes in popular modules are detailed here:
-
-
-Modules removed
----------------
-
-The following modules no longer exist:
-
-
-Deprecation notices
--------------------
-
-The following modules will be removed in Ansible 2.10. Please update your playbooks accordingly.
-
-* ``k8s_raw`` use :ref:`k8s <k8s_module>` instead.
-* ``openshift_raw`` use :ref:`k8s <k8s_module>` instead.
-* ``openshift_scale`` use :ref:`k8s_scale <k8s_scale_module>` instead.
-
-Noteworthy module changes
--------------------------
-
-* The ``upgrade`` module option for ``win_chocolatey`` has been removed; use ``state: latest`` instead.
-* The ``reboot`` module option for ``win_feature`` has been removed; use the ``win_reboot`` action plugin instead.
-* The ``win_iis_webapppool`` module no longer accepts a string for the ``attributes`` module option; use the free form dictionary value instead.
-* The ``name`` module option for ``win_package`` has been removed; this is not used anywhere and should just be removed from your playbooks.
-* The ``win_regedit`` module no longer automatically corrects the hive path ``HCCC`` to ``HKCC``; use ``HKCC`` because this is the correct hive path.
-* The :ref:`file_module` now emits a deprecation warning when ``src`` is specified with a state
- other than ``hard`` or ``link`` as it is only supposed to be useful with those. This could have
- an effect on people who were depending on a buggy interaction between src and other state's to
- place files into a subdirectory. For instance::
-
- $ ansible localhost -m file -a 'path=/var/lib src=/tmp/ state=directory'
-
- Would create a directory named ``/tmp/lib``. Instead of the above, simply spell out the entire
- destination path like this::
-
- $ ansible localhost -m file -a 'path=/tmp/lib state=directory'
-
-* The ``k8s_raw`` and ``openshift_raw`` modules have been aliased to the new ``k8s`` module.
-* The ``k8s`` module supports all Kubernetes resources including those from Custom Resource Definitions and aggregated API servers. This includes all OpenShift resources.
-* The ``k8s`` module will not accept resources where subkeys have been snake_cased. This was a workaround that was suggested with the ``k8s_raw`` and ``openshift_raw`` modules.
-* The ``k8s`` module may not accept resources where the ``api_version`` has been changed to match the shortened version in the Kubernetes Python client. You should now specify the proper full Kubernetes ``api_version`` for a resource.
-* The ``k8s`` module can now process multi-document YAML files if they are passed with the ``src`` parameter. It will process each document as a separate resource. Resources provided inline with the ``resource_definition`` parameter must still be a single document.
-* The ``k8s`` module will not automatically change ``Project`` creation requests into ``ProjectRequest`` creation requests as the ``openshift_raw`` module did. You must now specify the ``ProjectRequest`` kind explicitly.
-* The ``k8s`` module will not automatically remove secrets from the Ansible return values (and by extension the log). In order to prevent secret values in a task from being logged, specify the ``no_log`` parameter on the task block.
-* The ``k8s_scale`` module now supports scalable OpenShift objects, such as ``DeploymentConfig``.
-* The ``lineinfile`` module was changed to show a warning when using an empty string as a regexp.
- Since an empty regexp matches every line in a file, it will replace the last line in a file rather
- than inserting. If this is the desired behavior, use ``'^'`` which will match every line and
- will not trigger the warning.
-* Openstack modules are no longer using ``shade`` library. Instead ``openstacksdk`` is used. Since ``openstacksdk`` should be already present as a dependency to ``shade`` no additional actions are required.
-
-Plugins
-=======
-
-Deprecation notices
--------------------
-
-The following modules will be removed in Ansible 2.10. Please update your playbooks accordingly.
-
-* ``openshift`` use ``k8s`` instead.
-
-
-Noteworthy plugin changes
--------------------------
-
-* The ``k8s`` lookup plugin now supports all Kubernetes resources including those from Custom Resource Definitions and aggregated API servers. This includes all OpenShift resources.
-* The ``k8s`` lookup plugin may not accept resources where the ``api_version`` has been changed to match the shortened version in the Kubernetes Python client. You should now specify the proper full Kubernetes ``api_version`` for a resource.
-* The ``k8s`` lookup plugin will no longer remove secrets from the Ansible return values (and by extension the log). In order to prevent secret values in a task from being logged, specify the ``no_log`` parameter on the task block.

-Porting custom scripts
-======================
-
-No notable changes.

-Networking

-No notable changes.
+Ansible Porting Guides are maintained in the ``devel`` branch only. Please go to `the devel Ansible 2.6 Porting guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.6.html>`_ for up to date information.
-Dynamic inventory scripts
-=========================
+.. note::
-* ``contrib/inventory/openstack.py`` has been renamed to ``contrib/inventory/openstack_inventory.py``. If you have used ``openstack.py`` as a name for your OpenStack dynamic inventory file, change it to ``openstack_inventory.py``. Otherwise the file name will conflict with imports from ``openstacksdk``.
