Release Summary

This release implements minor changes and bug fixes such as a new remove value to the behavior option of the kubeconfig module, allowing entries to be deleted from the kubeconfig file by name, as well as Helm v4 compatibility across the Helm modules.

Minor Changes

• helm - add the server_side and force_conflicts options to control Helm v4 server-side apply when installing or upgrading a release (#​1164).
• helm_plugin - add --keyring argument to allow changing the keyring default location. The option is only accepted with state=present (the helm plugin install subcommand), as that is the only implemented subcommand that supports --keyring (#​1150).
• helm_registry_auth - document that, as of Helm 4.2.1, registry success messages such as Login Succeeded are printed to stdout instead of stderr (#​1147).
• kubeconfig - add remove value to the behavior option, allowing entries to be deleted from the kubeconfig file by name (#​1123).

Bugfixes

• ee - added meta/execution-environment.yml to decouple ansible-builder EE builds from the openshift-clients system dependency declared in bindep.txt, which is not available in standard UBI repositories and caused builds to fail with No package matches 'openshift-clients' (#​1141).
• helm - use --server-side=false --force-replace instead of the deprecated/removed --force flag when force=true is used with Helm v4, preserving the Helm v3 client-side replacement behaviour and avoiding the server-side apply conflict (#​1164).
• helm - use the --rollback-on-failure flag instead of the deprecated/removed --atomic flag when atomic=true is used with Helm v4 (#​1144).
• helm_repository - correct handling of repository URLs with trailing slashes (#​1121).
• k8s_drain - Fix logic for handling pods with local storage to correctly check for empty_dir volumes in replicated pods and pods managed by DaemonSets (#​1095).

New Modules

• kubeconfig - Generate, update, and optionally write Kubernetes kubeconfig files

Release Summary

This release adds Helm v4 compatibility across the Helm modules and improves k8s_drain with check mode. When you explicitly allow evicting unmanaged pods, pods with local storage, or pods managed by a DaemonSet, those cases are reported as informational output instead of module warnings.

Minor Changes

• helm_info - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (#​1038).
• helm_plugin - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (#​1038).
• helm_plugin_info - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (#​1038).
• helm_pull - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (#​1038).
• helm_registry_auth - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (#​1038).
• helm_registry_auth - add new option plain_http to allow insecure http connection when running helm registry login (#​1090).
• helm_repository - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (#​1038).
• k8s_drain - Add support for check_mode (#​1086).
• k8s_drain - Convert module warnings into informational displays when users explicitly request the deletion of unmanaged pods, pods with local storage, or those managed by a DaemonSet (#​1037).

Bugfixes

• Helm - Allow taking ownership of existing Kubernetes resources on the first installation of a Helm release. Previously, the take_ownership parameter was always disabled during the initial install, preventing resource adoption (#​1034).
