+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- All K8S_AUTH_* environment variables are now properly loaded by the k8s lookup plugin

+- docker_swarm_service - fix ``endpoint_mode`` and ``publish`` idempotency.
+- ec2_instance - Correctly adds description when adding a single ENI to the instance
+- ensure we have a XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, as it is not handled correctly by some privilege escalation configurations
+- file - Allow state=touch on file the user does not own https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/50943
+- fix ansible-pull hanlding of extra args, complex quoting is needed for inline JSON

+- netapp_e_storagepool - fixed failure under Python 3.7 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/47219)
+- onepassword_facts - Fix an issue looking up some 1Password items which have a 'password' attribute alongside the 'fields' attribute, not inside it.
+- prevent import_role from inserting dupe into `roles:` execution when duplicate signature role already exists in the section.
+- reboot - Fix bug where the connection timeout was not reset in the same task after rebooting
+- ssh connection - do not retry with invalid credentials to prevent account lockout (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/48422)
+- systemd - warn when exeuting in a chroot environment rather than failing (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43904)
