With the introduction of `pip_args` option, you can easily extend the
`:pip` installation mode behaviour. But some interesting/advanced usages
are still not possible because of the auto-generated parts ("ansible"
package, version selection, and the `--upgrade` flag).
By adding this "pip_args_only" install mode, it will be for instance
possible to:
- install unofficial releases, like release candidates published at
https://releases.ansible.com/
- install more pip packages (e.g. via a `requirements.txt` file), with
hash validation, etc.
Note that there is no config validation that requires `pip_args` option
to be defined when the :pip_args_only mode is selected. This would be
more elegant, and user friendly to raise a configuration error, but this
can wait. At least, running with an empty `pip_args` won't lead to any
command crash, since the rather dummy "pip install" shows an helper
notice and terminates with a zero (0) exit code.
This change is thought as a complement to the changes originally
proposed in pull request GH-8170.
With this new option, it is now possible to pass additional arguments to
pip command when the `install_mode` is "pip".

To identify rules, we can name them using the id parameter.
It prevent from adding lots of comments in the Vagrant file and to have un-named rules in your VirtualBox port lists.
It is very important when you have a lot ogf rule to identify witch one you want to edit.
For example:
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80 , host: 8080 , id:"http-proxy"
Allows checksum validation on downloaded files via Util::Downloader
using MD5 and/or SHA1 checksums. This also integrates checksum validation
support with the shell provisioner for downloaded remote files.
With this new option defined, the `ansible-galaxy` and
`ansible-playbook` commands generated by the Ansible provisioners will
be executed with the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable set
accordingly.

This commit also fix the following open issues:
- Implement the pending RSpec examples about path existence checks
performed by the ansible (remote) provisioner.
- In verbose mode, the ansible remote provisioner now correctly displays
the Ansible Galaxy parameters ("role_file" and "roles_path") with
single quotes (which is safer for potential copy-paste usage).
Additional Notes:
- Test coverage for `ansible_local` provisioner is still not
implemented. See GH-6633.
- Test coverage for galaxy from host is not implemented yet (due to
general issue with mocking both command executions, see
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/6529#r45278451
Prior to this commit, the snapshot save command did not have the vm_name as part of the command.
After this commit, the snapshot save command docs match the CLI --help.
This adds a new environmental variable `VAGRANT_BOX_UPDATE_CHECK_DISABLE`,
which instructs Vagrant to not check for box updates when running
regular Vagrant commands. This behaves the same as the existing
`config.vm.box_update_check` configuration option, but can be set
globally. Vagrantfile-supplied options will take precedence.
Fixes GH-7479
Bullet Lists are no longer correclty grouped (after the introduction of
the new layout). This is kind of workaround to keep each sub-paragraphs
of a list item well aligned.
These changes have been validated against the following guest systems:
- Debian 7 and 8
- Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04
- Fedora 21 and 23
- CentOS 7
- OracleLinux 7
- Scientific Linux 7
At the moment, the pip setup (via get-pip.py script) is not working for
RHEL6-like systems (CentOS 6.6, OracleLinux 6.5, Scientific Linux 6),
because Python 2.6 has been deprecated and is no longer supported by
Python core team. I consider this limitation with low priority in
Vagrant context.
The `:pip` install_mode is currently not implemented for the following
platforms:
- OpenSUSE
- ArchLinux
- FreeBSD
Known Issue: By using get-pip.py script, any previous pip installation
will be most probably overrided. This could be an issue for Python
developers who would prefer to keep their base box setup untouched. In
future iteration, it could be possible to choose to reinstall/upgrade
pip or not. issue for Python developers who would prefer to keep their
base box setup untouched. In future iteration, it could be possible to

Resolve GH-6654
Resolve GH-7167 as the `version` option is now considered to select the
version of Ansible to be installed.
