v11.4.1
=======

Release Summary
---------------

This patch is a re-release of 11.4.0 with bug-fixes to action plugin symlinks.
All action plugins have been renamed to use the `ios_`` prefix to match their module names.
The previous release(11.4.0) fixed bugs across ios_acls (TCP ACL parsing), ios_config (multi-range interfaces), ios_snmp_users (authentication protocol), ios_static_routes (BFD crash), and terminal error handling.
The previous release(11.4.0) deprecated the src parameter's automatic Jinja2 template processing in ios_config (removal March 2028), recommending migration to the new content parameter with ansible.builtin.template lookup.
The previous release(11.4.0) added new features including the content parameter for pre-rendered configurations in ios_config and purge_keys parameter in ios_user for managing multiple SSH keys (max 2 per user).
The previous release(11.4.0) updated dependencies and CI by bumping ansible.netcommon from >=8.1.0 to >=8.5.2 and modernizing integration tests to add stable-2.20 coverage while dropping stable-2.16.
The previous release(11.4.0) fixed documentation in ios_bgp_global by updating stale EXAMPLES that referenced removed parameter names causing validation errors.

Bugfixes
--------

- action plugins - Remove orphaned legacy action plugins ``bgp.py``, ``linkagg.py``, ``lldp.py`` and ``logging.py`` that had no corresponding module.
- action plugins - Rename multiple resource module action plugins to use the ``ios_`` prefix to match their module names and fix ``action-plugin-docs`` sanity failures blocking Automation Hub certification.
- meta/runtime.yml - Add ``plugin_routing.action`` redirects for all short-name aliases so alias-based invocations continue to resolve the renamed action plugins.
- plugins/action/ios.py - Remove unused ``warnings`` list and unreachable dead code block that never executed due to ``warnings`` always being empty.
- sanity - Remove stale ``action-plugin-docs`` ignore entries and delete ``ignore-2.14.txt`` and ``ignore-2.15.txt`` as the collection requires ``ansible>=2.16.0``.

v11.4.0
=======

Minor Changes
-------------

- Updated ansible.netcommon dependency minimum required version from >=8.1.0 to >=8.5.1.
- Updated ansible.netcommon dependency minimum required version from >=8.5.1 to >=8.5.2.
- ci - Updated integration test matrix to add stable-2.20 coverage and drop stable-2.16 for libssh integration tests.
- ios_config - Add ``content`` parameter to support pre-rendered template configurations. This provides a cleaner alternative to the deprecated template auto-processing behavior of the ``src`` parameter.
- ios_user module adds purge_keys parameter to manage multiple SSH keys per user. Cisco IOS devices support maximum 2 SSH keys per user. The purge_keys parameter enables removal of existing keys not in the sshkey list when provisioning new keys.

Deprecated Features
-------------------

- ios_config - The ``src`` parameter's automatic Jinja2 template processing is deprecated and will be removed in March 2028. Use the ``content`` parameter with ``ansible.builtin.template`` lookup instead.

Bugfixes
--------

- ios_acls - Fixed ``'int' object has no attribute 'split'`` error when processing ACL configurations with TCP entries. The parser regex for ``icmp_igmp_protocol`` could capture trailing numeric values for non-ICMP/IGMP protocols. Fixed by restricting ``icmp_igmp_protocol`` to only apply when the protocol is ``icmp`` or ``igmp`` in the parser template, with a defensive type check in facts processing.
- ios_config - Fix multi-range interface commands for ios_config module.
- ios_snmp_users - Fixed authentication option to correctly handle authentication protocol configuration.
- ios_static_routes - Fix gather crash when "ip route static bfd" is present on the device.
- terminal_stderr_re - Updated to support variation of command rejected error from appliance.

Documentation Changes
---------------------

- ios_bgp_global - Fix stale EXAMPLES that used removed parameter names (bestpath, nopeerup_delay, address, route_map) causing validation errors when copy-pasted. Updated to current argspec keys (bestpath_options, nopeerup_delay_options, neighbor_address, route_maps).
