• Added ask_variables_on_launch to workflow JTs.[#497]
• Added diff_mode and verbosity fields to WFJT nodes.[#555]
• Block creation of schedules when variables not allowed are given. Block similar cases for WFJT nodes.[#478]

• Removed TOWER_HOST as a default environment variable in job running environment due to conflict with tower credential type. Playbook authors should replace their use with AWX_HOST. [#1727]
• Boolean fields for custom credential types will now always default extra_vars and environment variables to False when a value is not provided. [#2038]
• Add validation to prevent string "$encrypted$" from becoming a literal survey question default [#518].
• Enable the --export option for ansible-inventory via the environment variable [#1253] so that group variables are imported to the group model.
• Prevent unwanted entries in activity stream due to modified time changes.
• API based deep copy feature via related /api/v2/resources/N/copy/ endpoint [#283].
• Container Cluster-based dynamic scaling provisioning / deprovisioning instances, allow creating / modifying instance groups from the API, introduce instance group policies, consider both memory and CPU constraints, add the ability to disable nodes without removing them from the cluster [#196].
• Add additional organization roles [#166].
• Support fact caching for isolated instances [#198].
• Implement per-template, project, organization custom_virtualenv, a field that allows users to select one of multiple virtual environments set up on the filesystem [#34].
• Use events for running inventory updates, project updates, and other unified job types [#200].
• Prevent deletion of jobs when event processing is still ongoing.
• Prohibit job template callback when inventory is null [#644].
• Impose stricter criteria to admin users - organization admin role now necessary for all organizations target user is member of.
• Remove unused admin_role associated with users.
• Enforce max value for SESSION_COOKIE_AGE [#1651].
• Add stricter validation to order_by query params [#776].
• Consistently log uncaught task exceptions [#1257].
• Do not show value of variable of with_items iteration when no_log is set.

• Disallow relaunching jobs with execute_role if another user provided prompts.
• Show all teams to organization admins if setting ORG_ADMINS_CAN_SEE_ALL_USERS is enabled.
• Allow creating schedules and workflow nodes from job templates that use credentials which prompt for passwords if ask_credential_on_launch is set.
• Set execution_node in task manager and submit waiting jobs to only the queue for the specific instance job is targeted to run on [#1873].
• Switched authentication to Django sessions.
• Deprecated AuthToken endpoint, will be removed in 3.4.0.
• Implemented OAuth2 support for token based authentication [#21].
• Added the ability to forcibly expire sessions through awx-manage expire_sessions.
• Disallowed using HTTP PUT/PATCH methods to modify existing jobs in Job Details API endpoint.

• Changed the name of the session length setting from AUTH_TOKEN_PER_USER to SESSIONS_PER_USER.
• External logging now defaults to HTTPS (instead of HTTP) unless http:// is explicitly specified in the log aggregator hostname [#2048]
• Added inventory field to inventory updates

3.2.0

• removed links from group to inventory_source including the field and related links, removed start and schedule capabilities from group serializer and added user_capabilities to inventory source serializer, allow user creation and naming of inventory sources [#5741]
• support sourcing inventory from a file inside of a project's source tree [#2477]
• added support for custom cloud and network credential types, which give the customer the ability to modify environment variables, extra vars, and generate file-based credentials (such as file-based certificates or .ini files) at ansible-playbook runtime [#5876]
• added support for assigning multiple cloud and network credential types on JobTemplates. JobTemplates can prompt for "extra credentials" at launch time in the same manner as promptable machine credentials [#5807] [#2913]
• custom inventory sources can now specify a Credential; you can store third-party credentials encrypted within Tower and use their values from within your custom inventory script (by - for example - reading an environment variable or a file's contents) [#5879]
• Added support for configuring groups of instance nodes to run tower jobs [#5898]
• Fixed an issue installing Tower on multiple nodes where cluster internal node references are used [#6231]
• Tower now uses a modified version of Fernet. Our Fernet256 class uses AES-256-CBC instead of AES-128-CBC for all encrypted fields. [#826]
• Added the ability to set custom environment variables set for playbook runs, inventory updates, project updates, and notification sending. [#3508]
