 v2.2.3
 ======
 Release Summary
 ---------------
 This major release brings several bug fixes. We have also removed support for ``ansible-core<2.15`` and deprecated functions and class from ``module_utils/common.py``.
 Minor Changes
 -------------
 - inventory/k8s.py - Defer removal of k8s inventory plugin to version 5.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/723).
 - k8s - The module and K8sService were changed so warnings returned by the K8S API are now displayed to the user.
 Removed Features (previously deprecated)
 ----------------------------------------
 - k8s - Support for ``merge_type=json`` has been removed in version 4.0.0. Please use ``kubernetes.core.k8s_json_patch`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/722).
 - k8s_exec - the previously deprecated ``result.return_code`` return value has been removed, consider using ``result.rc`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
 - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``K8sAnsibleMixin`` class has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
 - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``configuration_digest()`` function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
 - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``get_api_client()`` function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
 - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``unique_string()`` function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
 Bugfixes
 --------
 - Resolve Collections util resource discovery fails when complex subresources present (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/676).
 - align `helmdiff_check()` function commandline rendering with the `deploy()` function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/670).
 - avoid unsafe conditions in integration tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/665).
 - helm - use ``reuse-values`` when running ``helm diff`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/680).
 - integrations test helm_kubeconfig - set helm version to v3.10.3 to avoid incompatability with new bitnami charts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/670).

      - align `helmdiff_check()` function commandline rendering with the `deploy()`
        function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/670).
      - avoid unsafe conditions in integration tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/665).
      - helm - use ``reuse-values`` when running ``helm diff`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/680).
      - integrations test helm_kubeconfig - set helm version to v3.10.3 to avoid incompatability
        with new bitnami charts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/670).
      minor_changes:
      - inventory/k8s.py - Defer removal of k8s inventory plugin to version 5.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/723).
      - k8s - The module and K8sService were changed so warnings returned by the K8S
        API are now displayed to the user.
      release_summary: This major release brings several bug fixes. We have also removed
        support for ``ansible-core<2.15`` and deprecated functions and class from
        ``module_utils/common.py``.
      removed_features:
      - k8s - Support for ``merge_type=json`` has been removed in version 4.0.0. Please
        use ``kubernetes.core.k8s_json_patch`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/722).
      - k8s_exec - the previously deprecated ``result.return_code`` return value has
        been removed, consider using ``result.rc`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``K8sAnsibleMixin`` class
        has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``configuration_digest()``
        function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``get_api_client()`` function
        has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``unique_string()`` function
        has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).

 .. 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.

There's no reason why the binary file needs to function as all we care about is that the content of the file has not changed during the copy process. This can be accomplished by comparing file hashes.
