2.0.0:
changes:
breaking_changes:
- The collection now requires at least ansible-core 2.11.0. Ansible 3 and before,
and ansible-base versions are no longer supported.
- vmware_cluster_drs - The default for ``enable`` has been changed from ``false``
to ``true``.
- vmware_cluster_drs - The parameter alias ``enable_drs`` has been removed,
use ``enable`` instead.
- vmware_cluster_ha - The default for ``enable`` has been changed from ``false``
to ``true``.
- vmware_cluster_ha - The parameter alias ``enable_ha`` has been removed, use
``enable`` instead.
- vmware_cluster_vsan - The default for ``enable`` has been changed from ``false``
to ``true``.
- vmware_cluster_vsan - The parameter alias ``enable_vsan`` has been removed,
use ``enable`` instead.
- vmware_guest - Virtualization Based Security has some requirements (``nested_virt``,
``secure_boot`` and ``iommu``) that the module silently enabled. They have
to be enabled explicitly now.
bugfixes:
- Various modules and plugins - use vendored version of ``distutils.version``
included in ansible-core 2.12 if available. This avoids breakage when ``distutils``
is removed from the standard library of Python 3.12. Note that ansible-core
2.11, ansible-base 2.10 and Ansible 2.9 are right now not compatible with
Python 3.12, hence this fix does not target these ansible-core/-base/2.9 versions.
- create_nic - add advanced SR-IOV options from the VMware API (PCI dev PF/VF
backing and guest OS MTU change)
- vcenter_folder - fixed folders search collision issue (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/1112).
- vmware_guest_network - fix a bug that can crash the module due to an uncaught
exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/25).

export extra config options in ovf (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1161).

changes:
breaking_changes:
- Removed support for ansible-core version < 2.13.0.
- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Add a new sub-option `inherited` to the `in_traffic_shaping`
parameter. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter,
but also that you have to define the setting as not `inherited` if you want
to override it at the PG level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Add a new sub-option `inherited` to the `out_traffic_shaping`
parameter. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter,
but also that you have to define the setting as not `inherited` if you want
to override it at the PG level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Change the type of `net_flow` to string to allow setting
it implicitly to inherited or to keep the value as-is. This means you can
keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter, but also that while
`true` or `no` still work, `True` or `Off` (uppercase) won't (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Remove support for vSphere API less than 6.7.
- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Remove the default for `network_policy` and add a new
sub-option `inherited`. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining
the parameter, but also that you have to define the setting as not `inherited`
if you want to override it at the PG level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
- vmware_dvs_portgroup_info - Remove support for vSphere API less than 6.7.
- vmware_dvswitch - Remove support for vSphere API less than 6.7.

- vmware_guest_boot_manager - Remove default for ``secure_boot_enabled`` parameter
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/1461).
- vmware_vm_config_option - Dict item names in result are changed from strings
joined with spaces to strings joined with underlines, e.g. `Guest fullname`
is changed to `guest_fullname` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/1268).
- vmware_vspan_session - Remove support for vSphere API less than 6.7.
bugfixes:
- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Fix update of NetFlow Setting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1443).

minor_changes:
- vmware_guest_disk - Adding `iolimit` modifications of an existing disk without
changing size (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1466).

- vmware_dns_config - The deprecated module ``vmware_dns_config`` has been removed,
you can use ``vmware_host_dns`` instead.
- vmware_guest_network - The deprecated parameter ``networks`` has been removed,
use loops to handle multiple interfaces (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1459).
- vmware_guest_vnc - The deprecated module ``vmware_guest_vnc`` has been removed.
The VNC support has been dropped with vSphere 7 and later (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1454).
- vmware_host_firewall_manager - The module doesn't accept a list for ``allowed_hosts``
anymore, use a dict instead. Additionally, ``all_ip`` is now a required sub-option
of ``allowed_hosts`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1463).

removed. Use ``hostname`` and ``username`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1456).
