Release Summary

Some love for the agent role.

Minor Changes

• Agent role - All internal variables are now prefixed with a double underscore (__). If you hooked into any variable, which is not in defaults/main.yml you need to check your inventory. Be advised, that it is bad practice, to use internal variables directly.
• Agent role - Improve idempotency by reading the registration states both for Agent registration and Updater registration and skipping the registration if it is not necessary.
• Server role - All internal variables are now prefixed with a double underscore (__). If you hooked into any variable, which is not in defaults/main.yml you need to check your inventory. Be advised, that it is bad practice, to use internal variables directly.
• Testing - Testing against Python 3.8 was removed for all modules.

Bugfixes

• Agent role - For Windows hosts the download of correct setup files was broken due to a mixup in the modules used to fetch the files. The role would always fall back to the GENERIC agent, even if a specific agent was available. This is fixed now.
