 .. contents:: Topics
 
+v6.4.0
+======
+
+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 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/1038).
+- helm_plugin - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/1038).
+- helm_plugin_info - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/1038).
+- helm_pull - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/1038).
+- helm_registry_auth - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/1038).
+- helm_registry_auth - add new option plain_http to allow insecure http connection when running ``helm registry login`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1090).
+- helm_repository - Ensure compatibility with Helm v4 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/1038).
+- k8s_drain - Add support for ``check_mode`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/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` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/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 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1034).
+
+v6.3.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release includes bugfixes such as implementing idempotency for the ``helm_pull`` module as well as a security update for selectively redacting sensitive information from kubeconfig.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Remove deprecated import from ``ansible.module_utils._text`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1053).
+- helm - add ``release_values`` key to ``status`` return value that can be accessed using Jinja2 dot notation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+- helm_info - add ``release_values`` key to ``status`` return value that can be accessed using Jinja2 dot notation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- helm - the ``status.values`` return value has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2027-01-08. Use ``status.release_values`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+- helm_info - the ``status.values`` return value has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2027-01-08. Use ``status.release_values`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- Selectively redact sensitive info from kubeconfig instead of applying blanket ``no_log=True`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1014).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Add idempotency for ``helm_pull`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1055).

 # Kubernetes Collection for Ansible
 
-[![CI](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/workflows/CI/badge.svg?event=push)](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/actions) [![Codecov](https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core)](https://codecov.io/gh/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core)
-
 This repository hosts the `kubernetes.core` (formerly known as `community.kubernetes`) Ansible Collection.
 
+## Description
+
 The collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of applications in Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters, as well as the provisioning and maintenance of clusters themselves.
 
+## SonarCloud (code quality)
+
+Static analysis runs on [SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io) using `sonar-project.properties` and
+`.github/workflows/sonarcloud.yml`. Coverage shown in Sonar comes from unit-test coverage exported as
+`coverage.xml` at the repository root during CI.
+
+The SonarCloud project key must match `sonar.projectKey` (`ansible-collections_kubernetes.core`). Adding
+or renaming the project is coordinated via Ansible Collections maintainers.
+
+GitHub does not expose organization secrets to workflows for pull requests opened from forks. The
+Sonar job therefore only runs on pushes to this repository's branches and on pull requests where the
+head branch is on `ansible-collections/kubernetes.core` (not from forks). That matches GitHub's
+documented behavior for [secrets in Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions).
+
+If the project later needs Sonar with coverage on **fork** PRs, maintainers typically add a separate
+trusted job after a workflow that uploads coverage artifacts, using GitHub's `workflow_run` event.
+See [workflow_run (GitHub Docs)](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_run).

-Ansible Turbo mode
-******************
-
-Following document provides overview of Ansible Turbo mode in ``kubernetes.core`` collection.
-
-.. contents::
-   :local:
-   :depth: 1
-
-
-Synopsis
---------
-- A brief introduction about Ansible Turbo mode in ``kuberentes.core`` collection.
-- Ansible Turbo mode is an optional performance optimization. It can be enabled by installing the cloud.common collection and setting the ``ENABLE_TURBO_MODE`` environment variable.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-The following requirement is needed on the host that executes this module.
-
-- The ``cloud.common`` collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cloud.common)
-
-You will also need to set the environment variable ``ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1`` on the managed host. This can be done in the same ways you would usually do so, for example::
-
-  ---
-  - hosts: remote
-    environment:
-      ENABLE_TURBO_MODE: 1
-    tasks:
-      ...
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-You can install ``cloud.common`` collection using following command::
-
-    # ansible-galaxy collection install cloud.common
-
-
-Current situation without Ansible Turbo mode
-============================================
-
-The traditional execution flow of an Ansible module includes the following steps:
-
-- Upload of a ZIP archive with the module and its dependencies
-- Execution of the module
-- Ansible collects the results once the script is finished
-
-These steps happen for each task of a playbook, and on every host.
-
-Most of the time, the execution of a module is fast enough for
-the user. However, sometime the module requires significant amount of time,
-just to initialize itself. This is a common situation with the API based modules.
-
-A classic initialization involves the following steps:
-
-- Load a Python library to access the remote resource (via SDK)
-- Open a client
-    - Load a bunch of Python modules.
-    - Request a new TCP connection.
-    - Create a session.
-    - Authenticate the client.
-
-All these steps are time consuming and the same operations will be running again and again.
-
-For instance, here:
-
-- ``import openstack``: takes 0.569s
-- ``client = openstack.connect()``: takes 0.065s
-- ``client.authorize()``: takes 1.360s,
-
-These numbers are from test running against VexxHost public cloud.
-
-In this case, it's a 2s-ish overhead per task. If the playbook
-comes with 10 tasks, the execution time cannot go below 20s.
-
-How Ansible Turbo Module improve the situation
-==============================================
-
-``AnsibleTurboModule`` is actually a class that inherites from
-the standard ``AnsibleModule`` class that your modules probably
-already use.
-The big difference is that when a module starts, it also spawns
-a little Python daemon. If a daemon already exists, it will just
-reuse it.
-All the module logic is run inside this Python daemon. This means:
-
-- Python modules are actually loaded one time
-- Ansible module can reuse an existing authenticated session.
-
-The background service
-======================
-
-The daemon kills itself after 15s, and communication are done
-through an Unix socket.
-It runs in one single process and uses ``asyncio`` internally.
-Consequently you can use the ``async`` keyword in your Ansible module.
-This will be handy if you interact with a lot of remote systems
-at the same time.
-
-Security impact
-===============
-
-``ansible_module.turbo`` open an Unix socket to interact with the background service.
-We use this service to open the connection toward the different target systems.
-
-This is similar to what SSH does with the sockets.
-
-Keep in mind that:
-
-- All the modules can access the same cache. Soon an isolation will be done at the collection level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cloud.common/pull/17)
-- A task can load a different version of a library and impact the next tasks.
-- If the same user runs two ``ansible-playbook`` at the same time, they will have access to the same cache.
-
-When a module stores a session in a cache, it's a good idea to use a hash of the authentication information to identify the session.
-
-Error management
-================
-
-``ansible_module.turbo`` uses exceptions to communicate a result back to the module.
-
-- ``EmbeddedModuleFailure`` is raised when ``json_fail()`` is called.
-- ``EmbeddedModuleSuccess`` is raised in case of success and returns the result to the origin module process.
-
-These exceptions are defined in ``ansible_collections.cloud.common.plugins.module_utils.turbo.exceptions``.
-You can raise ``EmbeddedModuleFailure`` exception yourself, for instance from a module in ``module_utils``.
-
-.. note:: Be careful with the ``except Exception:`` blocks.
-    Not only they are bad practice, but also may interface with this
-    mechanism.
-
-
-Troubleshooting
-===============
-
-You may want to manually start the server. This can be done with the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-  PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.ansible/collections python -m ansible_collections.cloud.common.plugins.module_utils.turbo.server --socket-path $HOME/.ansible/tmp/turbo_mode.kubernetes.core.socket
-
-You can use the ``--help`` argument to get a list of the optional parameters.

-Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin
-===================================
-
-
-The best way to interact with your Pods is to use the Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin, which queries Kubernetes APIs using ``kubectl`` command line available on controller node and tells Ansible what Pods can be managed.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-To use the Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugins, you must install `Kubernetes Python client <https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python>`_, `kubectl <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl>`_ on your control node (the host running Ansible).
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ pip install kubernetes
-
-Please refer to Kubernetes official documentation for `installing kubectl <https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/>`_ on the given operating systems.
-
-To use this Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin, you need to enable it first by specifying the following in the ``ansible.cfg`` file:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-  [inventory]
-  enable_plugins = kubernetes.core.k8s
-
-Then, create a file that ends in ``.k8s.yml`` or ``.k8s.yaml`` in your working directory.
-
-The ``kubernetes.core.k8s`` inventory plugin takes in the same authentication information as any other Kubernetes modules.
-
-Here's an example of a valid inventory file:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: kubernetes.core.k8s
-
-Executing ``ansible-inventory --list -i <filename>.k8s.yml`` will create a list of Pods that are ready to be configured using Ansible.
-
-You can also provide the namespace to gather information about specific pods from the given namespace. For example, to gather information about Pods under the ``test`` namespace you will specify the ``namespaces`` parameter:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: kubernetes.core.k8s
-    connections:
-    - namespaces:
-        - test
-
-Using vaulted configuration files
-=================================
-
-Since the inventory configuration file contains Kubernetes related sensitive information in plain text, a security risk, you may want to
-encrypt your entire inventory configuration file.
-
-You can encrypt a valid inventory configuration file as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ ansible-vault encrypt <filename>.k8s.yml
-      New Vault password:
-      Confirm New Vault password:
-      Encryption successful
-
-    $ echo "MySuperSecretPassw0rd!" > /path/to/vault_password_file
-
-And you can use this vaulted inventory configuration file using:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ ansible-inventory -i <filename>.k8s.yml --list --vault-password-file=/path/to/vault_password_file

+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.

+"""Provides classes to represent module version numbers (one class for

+implemented: StrictVersion and LooseVersion.
+
+Every version number class implements the following interface:
+  * the 'parse' method takes a string and parses it to some internal
+    representation; if the string is an invalid version number,
+    'parse' raises a ValueError exception
+  * the class constructor takes an optional string argument which,
+    if supplied, is passed to 'parse'
+  * __str__ reconstructs the string that was passed to 'parse' (or
+    an equivalent string -- ie. one that will generate an equivalent
+    version number instance)
+  * __repr__ generates Python code to recreate the version number instance
+  * _cmp compares the current instance with either another instance
+    of the same class or a string (which will be parsed to an instance
+    of the same class, thus must follow the same rules)

+class StrictVersion(Version):
+    """Version numbering for anal retentives and software idealists.
+    Implements the standard interface for version number classes as
+    described above.  A version number consists of two or three
+    dot-separated numeric components, with an optional "pre-release" tag
+    on the end.  The pre-release tag consists of the letter 'a' or 'b'
+    followed by a number.  If the numeric components of two version
+    numbers are equal, then one with a pre-release tag will always
+    be deemed earlier (lesser) than one without.
+
+    The following are valid version numbers (shown in the order that
+    would be obtained by sorting according to the supplied cmp function):
+
+        0.4       0.4.0  (these two are equivalent)
+        0.4.1
+        0.5a1
+        0.5b3
+        0.5
+        0.9.6
+        1.0
+        1.0.4a3
+        1.0.4b1
+        1.0.4

+        2.7.2.2
+        1.3.a4
+        1.3pl1
+        1.3c4

+
+# The rules according to Greg Stein:
+# 1) a version number has 1 or more numbers separated by a period or by
+#    sequences of letters. If only periods, then these are compared
+#    left-to-right to determine an ordering.
+# 2) sequences of letters are part of the tuple for comparison and are
+#    compared lexicographically
+# 3) recognize the numeric components may have leading zeroes
+#
+# The LooseVersion class below implements these rules: a version number
+# string is split up into a tuple of integer and string components, and
+# comparison is a simple tuple comparison.  This means that version
+# numbers behave in a predictable and obvious way, but a way that might
+# not necessarily be how people *want* version numbers to behave.  There
+# wouldn't be a problem if people could stick to purely numeric version
+# numbers: just split on period and compare the numbers as tuples.
+# However, people insist on putting letters into their version numbers;
+# the most common purpose seems to be:
+#   - indicating a "pre-release" version
+#     ('alpha', 'beta', 'a', 'b', 'pre', 'p')
+#   - indicating a post-release patch ('p', 'pl', 'patch')
+# but of course this can't cover all version number schemes, and there's
+# no way to know what a programmer means without asking him.
+#
+# The problem is what to do with letters (and other non-numeric
+# characters) in a version number.  The current implementation does the
+# obvious and predictable thing: keep them as strings and compare
+# lexically within a tuple comparison.  This has the desired effect if
+# an appended letter sequence implies something "post-release":
+# eg. "0.99" < "0.99pl14" < "1.0", and "5.001" < "5.001m" < "5.002".
+#
+# However, if letters in a version number imply a pre-release version,
+# the "obvious" thing isn't correct.  Eg. you would expect that
+# "1.5.1" < "1.5.2a2" < "1.5.2", but under the tuple/lexical comparison
+# implemented here, this just isn't so.
+#
+# Two possible solutions come to mind.  The first is to tie the
+# comparison algorithm to a particular set of semantic rules, as has
+# been done in the StrictVersion class above.  This works great as long
+# as everyone can go along with bondage and discipline.  Hopefully a
+# (large) subset of Python module programmers will agree that the
+# particular flavour of bondage and discipline provided by StrictVersion
+# provides enough benefit to be worth using, and will submit their
+# version numbering scheme to its domination.  The free-thinking
+# anarchists in the lot will never give in, though, and something needs
+# to be done to accommodate them.
+#
+# Perhaps a "moderately strict" version class could be implemented that
+# lets almost anything slide (syntactically), and makes some heuristic
+# assumptions about non-digits in version number strings.  This could
+# sink into special-case-hell, though; if I was as talented and
+# idiosyncratic as Larry Wall, I'd go ahead and implement a class that
+# somehow knows that "1.2.1" < "1.2.2a2" < "1.2.2" < "1.2.2pl3", and is
+# just as happy dealing with things like "2g6" and "1.13++".  I don't
+# think I'm smart enough to do it right though.
+#
+# In any case, I've coded the test suite for this module (see
+# ../test/test_version.py) specifically to fail on things like comparing
+# "1.2a2" and "1.2".  That's not because the *code* is doing anything
+# wrong, it's because the simple, obvious design doesn't match my
+# complicated, hairy expectations for real-world version numbers.  It
+# would be a snap to fix the test suite to say, "Yep, LooseVersion does
+# the Right Thing" (ie. the code matches the conception).  But I'd rather
+# have a conception that matches common notions about version numbers.
