Release Summary
This is a pre-release for community.sops 2.3.0. The main new feature of this release is ansible-core 2.21 support for community.sops.load_vars. ansible-core 2.21 is the first version to explicitly allow action plugins to set variables, which finally allows community.sops.load_vars to set variables the same way as ansible.builtin.include_vars.
Since this interface is brand-new and changes might still happen until the final ansible-core 2.21 release, this is a pre-release.
Minor Changes
- load_vars - now supports ansible-core 2.21's way of actually loading variables, instead of returning
ansible_facts. The behavior for this can be controlled through the newreturn_methodoption, which is by default set toauto. On ansible-core 2.21+,autobehaves the same asvars-only(return proper variables), and for ansible-core before 2.21 the same asfacts-only(returnansible_facts) (#283).
