<a id="release-summary-8"></a>
### Release Summary

New major release\.

<a id="major-changes"></a>
### Major Changes

* The <code>community\.dns</code> collection now depends on the <code>community\.library\_inventory\_filtering\_v1</code> collection\. 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 with <code>ansible\-galaxy collection install</code>\, 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 plugins \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.

<a id="minor-changes-1"></a>
### Minor Changes

* inventory plugins \- add <code>filter</code> option which allows to include and exclude hosts based on Jinja2 conditions \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.
* lookup\, lookup\_as\_dict \- it is now possible to configure whether the input should be treated as an absolute domain name \(<code>search\=false</code>\)\, or potentially as a relative domain name \(<code>search\=true</code>\)  \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/200](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/200)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/201](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/201)\)\.

<a id="breaking-changes--porting-guide"></a>
### Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

* The default for the <code>txt\_character\_encoding</code> options in various modules and plugins changed from <code>octal</code> to <code>decimal</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.
* inventory plugins \- <code>filters</code> is now no longer an alias of <code>simple\_filters</code>\, but a new\, different option \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.
* inventory plugins \- the <code>plugin</code> option is now required \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.
* lookup\, lookup\_as\_dict \- the default for <code>search</code> changed from <code>false</code> \(implicit default for community\.dns 2\.x\.y\) to <code>true</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/200](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/200)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/201](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/201)\)\.

<a id="removed-features-previously-deprecated"></a>
### Removed Features \(previously deprecated\)

* The collection no longer supports Ansible\, ansible\-base\, and ansible\-core releases that are currently End of Life at the time of the 3\.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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.
* hetzner\_dns\_record\_set\, hetzner\_dns\_record \- the deprecated alias <code>name</code> of the prefix option was removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.
* hosttech\_dns\_records \- the redirect to the <code>hosttech\_dns\_record\_sets</code> module has been removed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/196)\)\.

<a id="release-summary-21"></a>
### Release Summary

Maintenance release\.

From this version on\, community\.dns is using the new [Ansible semantic markup](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/dev\_guide/developing\_modules\_documenting\.html\#semantic\-markup\-within\-module\-documentation)
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](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/dns/)
for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release\.

<a id="known-issues"></a>
### 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/dns/](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/dns/)\.

<a id="minor-changes-12"></a>
### Minor Changes

* Add support for Hetzner DNS \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/27](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/27)\)\.
* Added a <code>txt\_transformation</code> option to all modules and plugins working with DNS records \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/48](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/48)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/57](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/57)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/60](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/60)\)\.
* The hosttech\_dns\_records module has been renamed to hosttech\_dns\_record\_sets \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31)\)\.
* The internal API now supports bulk DNS record changes\, if supported by the API \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/39](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/39)\)\.
* The internal record API allows to manage extra data \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63)\)\.
* Use HTTP helper class to make API implementations work for both plugins and modules\. Make WSDL API use <code>fetch\_url</code> instead of <code>open\_url</code> for modules \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/36](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/36)\)\.
* hetzner\_dns\_record and hosttech\_dns\_record \- when not using check mode\, use actual return data for diff\, instead of input data\, so that extra data can be shown \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63)\)\.
* hetzner\_dns\_zone\_info \- the <code>legacy\_ns</code> return value is now sorted\, since its order is unstable \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/46](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/46)\)\.
* hosttech\_dns\_\* modules \- rename <code>zone</code> parameter to <code>zone\_name</code>\. The old name <code>zone</code> can still be used as an alias \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/32](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/32)\)\.
* hosttech\_dns\_record\_set \- <code>value</code> is no longer required when <code>state\=absent</code> and <code>overwrite\=true</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31)\)\.
* hosttech\_dns\_record\_sets \- <code>records</code> has been renamed to <code>record\_sets</code>\. The old name <code>records</code> can still be used as an alias \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31)\)\.
* hosttech\_dns\_zone\_info \- return extra information as <code>zone\_info</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/38](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/38)\)\.

<a id="breaking-changes--porting-guide-1"></a>
### Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

* All Hetzner modules and plugins which handle DNS records now work with unquoted TXT values by default\. The old behavior can be obtained by setting <code>txt\_transformation\=api</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/48](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/48)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/57](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/57)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/60](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/60)\)\.
* Hosttech API creation \- now requires a <code>ModuleOptionProvider</code> object instead of an <code>AnsibleModule</code> object\. Alternatively an Ansible plugin instance can be passed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/37](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/37)\)\.
* The hetzner\_dns\_record\_info and hosttech\_dns\_record\_info modules have been renamed to hetzner\_dns\_record\_set\_info and hosttech\_dns\_record\_set\_info\, respectively \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/54](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/54)\)\.
* The hosttech\_dns\_record module has been renamed to hosttech\_dns\_record\_set \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31)\)\.
* The internal bulk record updating helper \(<code>bulk\_apply\_changes</code>\) now also returns the records that were deleted\, created or updated \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63)\)\.
* The internal record API no longer allows to manage comments explicitly \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/63)\)\.
* When using the internal modules API\, now a zone ID type and a provider information object must be passed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/27](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/27)\)\.
* hetzner\_dns\_record\* modules \- implement correct handling of default TTL\. The value <code>none</code> is now accepted and returned in this case \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/52](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/52)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/50](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/issues/50)\)\.
* hetzner\_dns\_record\, hetzner\_dns\_record\_set\, hetzner\_dns\_record\_sets \- the default TTL is now 300 and no longer 3600\, which equals the default in the web console \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/43](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/43)\)\.
* hosttech\_dns\_record\_set \- the option <code>overwrite</code> was replaced by a new option <code>on\_existing</code>\. Specifying <code>overwrite\=true</code> is equivalent to <code>on\_existing\=replace</code> \(the new default\)\. Specifying <code>overwrite\=false</code> with <code>state\=present</code> is equivalent to <code>on\_existing\=keep\_and\_fail</code>\, and specifying <code>overwrite\=false</code> with <code>state\=absent</code> is equivalent to <code>on\_existing\=keep</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31)\)\.

<a id="deprecated-features-2"></a>
### Deprecated Features

* The hosttech\_dns\_records module has been renamed to hosttech\_dns\_record\_sets\. The old name will stop working in community\.dns 3\.0\.0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/31)\)\.

<a id="bugfixes-47"></a>
### Bugfixes

* Hetzner API \- interpret missing TTL as 300\, which is what the web console also does \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/42](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/42)\)\.
* Update Public Suffix List\.
* Update Public Suffix List\.
* Update Public Suffix List\.
* hetzner API code \- make sure to also handle errors returned by the API if the HTTP status code indicates success\. This sometimes happens for 500 Internal Server Error \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/58](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/58)\)\.
* hosttech\_dns\_zone\_info \- make sure that full information is returned both when requesting a zone by ID or by name \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/56](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/56)\)\.
* wait\_for\_txt \- fix handling of too long TXT values \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/65](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/65)\)\.
* wait\_for\_txt \- resolving nameservers sometimes resulted in an empty list\, yielding wrong results \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/64](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.dns/pull/64)\)\.
