Feature release with several new modules and a deprecation.
- All modules and plugins now have a
rate_limit_retry_timeoutoption, which allows to configure for how long to wait in case of rate limiting errors. By default, the modules wait indefinitely. Setting the option to0does not retry (this was the behavior in previous versions), and a positive value sets a number of seconds to wait at most (#140). - boot - it is now possible to specify SSH public keys in
authorized_keys. The fingerprint needed by the Robot API will be extracted automatically (#134). - v_switch - the module is now part of the
community.hrobot.robotaction group, despite already being documented as part of it (#136).
- boot - the various
archsuboptions have been deprecated and will be removed from community.hrobot 3.0.0 (#134).
- community.hrobot.storagebox - Modify a storage box's basic configuration.
- community.hrobot.storagebox_info - Query information on one or more storage boxes.
- community.hrobot.storagebox_set_password - (Re)set the password for a storage box.
- community.hrobot.storagebox_snapshot_plan - Modify a storage box's snapshot plans.
- community.hrobot.storagebox_snapshot_plan_info - Query the snapshot plans for a storage box.

Bugfix release.
New major release 2.0.0.
- The
community.hrobotcollection now depends on thecommunity.library_inventory_filtering_v1collection. 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 (#101).
- robot inventory plugin - add
filteroption which allows to include and exclude hosts based on Jinja2 conditions (#101).
- robot inventory plugin -
filtersis now no longer an alias ofsimple_filters, but a new, different option (#101).
- 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 (#101).
Bugfix release.
- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain
{or}as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX (#102).
Bugfix release.
- 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/, #99).
Feature and maintenance release.
- robot inventory plugin - the
filtersoption 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_v1collection's functionality (#94).
- robot inventory plugin - the
filtersoption has been renamed tosimple_filters. The old name will stop working in community.hrobot 2.0.0 (#94).
Maintenance release with updated documentation.
- Show more information (if available) from error messages (#89).
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.
- 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/.
Feature release for the Hetzner firewall 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 (#75, #76).
- firewall, firewall_info - add
filter_ipv6andrules.outputoutput to support the new IPv6 filtering and output rules features (#75, #76). - firewall, firewall_info - add
server_numberoption that can be used instead ofserver_ipto identify the server. Hetzner deprecated configuring the firewall byserver_ip, so usingserver_ipwill stop at some point in the future (#77).
