Salt 3006.18 release notes¶

Fixed¶

• Fixed ssh_auth.present to respect provided options when read keys from source file #60769

• Fixed ssh_auth regexp to handle key types with @ or . #61299

• Fixed a TypeError exception thrown by ssh_known_hosts.present when the specified user account does not exist #62049

• Fix runtime error on OpenBSD by adding support for the osfullname grain #64189

• Forward minion list events in Syndic cluster mode to enable proper job completion detection #68319

• Fixed ssh_auth.present and ssh.absent to report changes if some key was added or removed when reading keys from a source file #68403

• Test loader now prevents .pyc files from being written during test run using sys.dont_write_bytecode = True. This results in 3x faster test execution and reduced IO operations #68412
