Bumping requires\_ansible to \>\=2\.14\.0\, since previous ansible\-core versions are EoL now\. +* This release mainly addresses the breaking changes in the netaddr library\. +* With the new release of netaddr 1\.0\.0\, the IPAddress\.is\_private\(\) method has been removed and instead\, the IPAddress\.is\_global\(\) method has been extended to support the same functionality\.

This is useful to create multi\-paragraph notes in module/plugin documentation \([https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82465](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82465)\)\. +* ansible\-doc output has been revamped to make it more visually pleasing when going to a terminal\, also more concise\, use \-v to show extra information\. +* ansible\-galaxy \- Started normalizing build directory with a trailing separator when building collections\, internally\. \([https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81619](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81619)\)\. +* ansible\-galaxy dependency resolution messages have changed the unexplained \'virtual\' collection for the specific type \(\'scm\'\, \'dir\'\, etc\) that is more user friendly +* ansible\-test \- Add Alpine 3\.19 container\. +* ansible\-test \- Add Alpine 3\.19 to remotes\. +* ansible\-test \- Add Fedora 39 container\. +* ansible\-test \- Add Fedora 39 remote\. +* ansible\-test \- Add a work\-around for permission denied errors when using pytest \>\= 8 on multi\-user systems with an installed version of ansible\-test\. +* ansible\-test \- Add support for RHEL 9\.3 remotes\. +* ansible\-test \- Added a macOS 14\.3 remote VM\. +* ansible\-test \- Bump the nios\-test\-container from version 2\.0\.0 to version 3\.0\.0\. +* ansible\-test \- Containers and remotes managed by ansible\-test will have their Python EXTERNALLY\-MANAGED marker \(PEP668\) removed\. This provides backwards compatibility for existing tests running in newer environments which mark their Python as externally managed\. A future version of ansible\-test may change this behavior\, requiring tests to be adapted to such environments\. +* ansible\-test \- Make Python 3\.12 the default version used in the base and default containers\. +* ansible\-test \- Remove Alpine 3\(\.18\) container\. +* ansible\-test \- Remove Alpine 3\.18 from remotes\. +* ansible\-test \- Remove Fedora 38 remote support\. +* ansible\-test \- Remove Fedora 38 test container\. +* ansible\-test \- Remove rhel/9\.2 test remote +* ansible\-test \- Remove the FreeBSD 13\.2 remote\. +* ansible\-test \- Removed fallback to virtualenv when \-m venv is non\-functional\. +* ansible\-test \- Removed test remotes\: macos/13\.2 +* ansible\-test \- Removed the no\-basestring sanity test\.

The tests are no longer necessary since Python 3 is required\. +* ansible\-test \- Removed the no\-main\-display sanity test\. The unwanted pattern is unlikely to occur\, since the test has existed since Ansible 2\.8\. +* ansible\-test \- Removed the no\-unicode\-literals sanity test\. The test is unnecessary now that Python 3 is required and the unicode\_literals feature has no effect\. +* ansible\-test \- Special handling for installation of cryptography has been removed\, as it is no longer necessary\. +* ansible\-test \- The shellcheck sanity test no longer disables the SC2164 check\. In most cases\, seeing this error means the script is missing set \-e\. +* ansible\-test \- The unidiomatic\-typecheck rule has been enabled in the pylint sanity test\. +* ansible\-test \- The unidiomatic\-typecheck rule has been removed from the validate\-modules sanity test\. +* ansible\-test \- Update the base and default containers to use Ubuntu 22\.04 for the base image\.
