## v2\.5\.0

<a id="release-summary-7"></a>
### Release Summary

Feature and bugfix release\.

This release adds support for the [new Hetzner API for the storage box modules](https\://docs\.hetzner\.cloud/changelog\#2025\-06\-25\-new\-api\-for\-storage\-boxes)\.
You need to use <code>hetzner\_token</code> instead of <code>hetzner\_user</code>/<code>hetzner\_password</code>
to use the new API\. Please note that the old API will be sunset on July 30th\, 2025\;
the modules will then stop working if you do not provide <code>hetzner\_token</code> and stop
providing <code>hetzner\_user</code>/<code>hetzner\_password</code>\.

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

* Introduced a new action group \(module defaults group\) <code>community\.hrobot\.api</code> that includes all modules that support the new Hetzner API\. This is currently limited to a subset of the storage box modules\; these currently support both the <code>community\.hrobot\.robot</code> and the new <code>community\.hrobot\.api</code> action group\, and will eventually drop the <code>community\.hrobot\.robot</code> action group once the Robot API for storage boxes is removed by Hetzner \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/166](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/166)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/167](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/167)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/168](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/168)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/169](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/169)\)\.

<a id="known-issues"></a>
### Known Issues

The modules are currently not compatible with the new API\. We will try to adjust them until then\, but usage and return values might change slightly due to differences in the APIs\.
  For the new API\, an API token needs to be registered and provided as <code>hetzner\_token</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/166](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/166)\)\.

<a id="v2-4-0"></a>

<a id="minor-changes-2"></a>
### Minor Changes

* All modules and plugins now have a <code>rate\_limit\_retry\_timeout</code> option\, which allows to configure for how long to wait in case of rate limiting errors\. By default\, the modules wait indefinitely\. Setting the option to <code>0</code> does not retry \(this was the behavior in previous versions\)\, and a positive value sets a number of seconds to wait at most \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/140](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/140)\)\.
* boot \- it is now possible to specify SSH public keys in <code>authorized\_keys</code>\. The fingerprint needed by the Robot API will be extracted automatically \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/134](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/134)\)\.
* v\_switch \- the module is now part of the <code>community\.hrobot\.robot</code> action group\, despite already being documented as part of it \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/136](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/136)\)\.

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

* boot \- the various <code>arch</code> suboptions have been deprecated and will be removed from community\.hrobot 3\.0\.0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/134](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/134)\)\.

## v2\.0\.0

<a id="release-summary-15"></a>
### Release Summary

New major release 2\.0\.0\.

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

* The <code>community\.hrobot</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 plugin \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101)\)\.

* robot inventory plugin \- add <code>filter</code> option which allows to include and exclude hosts based on Jinja2 conditions \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101)\)\.

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

* robot inventory plugin \- <code>filters</code> is now no longer an alias of <code>simple\_filters</code>\, but a new\, different option \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101)\)\.

<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 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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/101)\)\.

<a id="v1-8-1"></a>
## v1\.8\.1

<a id="release-summary-20"></a>
### Release Summary

Maintenance release with updated documentation\.

From this version on\, community\.hrobot 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/hrobot/)
for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release\.

<a id="known-issues-1"></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/hrobot/](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/hrobot/)\.

## v1\.8\.0

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

Feature release for the Hetzner firewall changes\.

<a id="major-changes-1"></a>
### Major 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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/issues/75](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/issues/75)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/76](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/76)\)\.

<a id="minor-changes-5"></a>
### Minor Changes

* firewall\, firewall\_info \- add <code>filter\_ipv6</code> and <code>rules\.output</code> output to support the new IPv6 filtering and output rules features \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/issues/75](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/issues/75)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/76](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/76)\)\.
* firewall\, firewall\_info \- add <code>server\_number</code> option that can be used instead of <code>server\_ip</code> to identify the server\. Hetzner deprecated configuring the firewall by <code>server\_ip</code>\, so using <code>server\_ip</code> will stop at some point in the future \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/77](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.hrobot/pull/77)\)\.
