**New modules**

**General Availability of CICS provisioning modules.** You can use these Ansible modules to create automation tasks that provision or deprovision, and start or stop
a CICS region. Sample playbooks show you how to do this with the latest version of the Ansible IBM z/OS CICS collection. All modules were initially released
with Version 1.1.0-beta as noted below. Subsequent Version 1.1.0-beta releases may include enhancements and bugfixes for these modules. Refer to the What's new
of Version 1.1.0-beta releases for details.

You can use the following modules for provisioning and managing CICS TS data sets:

* ``aux_temp_storage`` for the CICS auxiliary temporary storage data set. This module was initially
released as ``auxiliary_temp`` with Version 1.1.0-beta.4. The module is changed to ``aux_temp_storage`` in Version 2.1.0.
* ``aux_trace`` for the CICS auxiliary trace data sets. This module was initially released as ``trace`` with Version 1.1.0-beta.4.
The module is changed to ``aux_trace`` in Version 2.1.0.
* ``csd`` for the CICS system definition data set. This module was initially released with Version 1.1.0-beta.4.
* ``global_catalog`` for the CICS global catalog data set. This module was initially released with Version 1.1.0-beta.4.
* ``local_request_queue`` for the CICS local request queue data set. This module was initially released with Version 1.1.0-beta.3.
* ``td_intrapartition`` for the CICS transient data intrapartition data set. This module was initially released as ``intrapartition`` with
Version 1.1.0-beta.4. The module is changed to ``td_intrapartition`` in Version 2.1.0.
* ``transaction_dump`` for the CICS transaction dump data sets. This module was initially released with Version 1.1.0-beta.4.
a CICS region. Sample playbooks show you how to do this with the latest version of the Ansible IBM z/OS CICS collection.

You can use the following modules to provision and manage CICS TS data sets:

* ``aux_temp_storage`` can be used to create or remove the CICS auxiliary temporary storage data set.
* ``aux_trace`` can be used to allocate the CICS auxiliary trace data sets.
* ``csd`` can be used to create, manage, or remove the CICS system definition data set.
* ``global_catalog`` can be used to create, manage, or remove the CICS global catalog data set.
* ``local_request_queue`` can be used to create, manage, or remove the CICS local request queue data set.
* ``td_intrapartition`` can be used to create or remove the CICS transient data intrapartition data set.
* ``transaction_dump`` can be used to allocate the CICS transaction dump data sets.

You can use the following modules for CICS startup and shutdown operations:

* ``region_jcl`` - Create a CICS startup JCL data set. This module replaces ``start_cics``, which was released with Version 1.1.0-beta.5.
``region_jcl`` is significantly different from ``start_cics`` in function. ``region_jcl`` creates a data set that contains the startup JCL, but
doesn't perform the actual startup processing. ``region_jcl`` also supports definition and allocation of user data sets with the ``user_data_sets`` parameter.
* ``stop_region`` - Stop a CICS region. This module was initially released as ``stop_cics`` with Version 1.1.0-beta.5. The module is changed to ``stop_region``
in Version 2.1.0. In Version 2.1.0, ``stop_region`` supports a new input parameter, ``job_name`` so that you can use the job name, which is typically the CICS's
APPLID, to identify a running CICS region.
* ``region_jcl`` can be used to create a CICS startup JCL data set.
* ``stop_region`` can be used to stop a CICS region.

The group name for the CICS provisioning modules is ``region``. However, in the Version 1.1.0-beta releases, the group name was ``region_group``.
The group name for the CICS provisioning modules is ``region``.

CICS provisioning modules provide support for all in-service CICS TS releases including the latest CICS TS 6.2.

* **Removed support for Python 2.7.** Python 2.7 is no longer supported as the managed node runtime.

Version 1.1.0-beta.5
=============
What's New
-------------------

**New modules**

* ``start_cics`` - Start a CICS region.
* ``stop_cics`` - Stop a CICS region.

**Changed modules**

* ``csd`` - A new ``state`` option, ``script`` is introduced so that you can now supply a script that contains ``CSDUP`` commands to update an existing CSD. The script can be either a data set or a z/OS UNIX file.
* All modules for CICS region data sets - New option ``space_secondary`` is introduced so that you can specify the size of the secondary extent.
* All modules for CICS region data sets - Return values now use ``data_set_organization`` to indicate the organization of the data set. The ``vsam`` field has been removed from the return structure.


Version 1.1.0-beta.4
=============
What's New
-------------------

**New modules**

* ``auxiliary_temp`` - Create and remove the CICS auxiliary temporary storage data set.
* ``csd`` - Create, remove, and manage the CICS system definition data set.
* ``intrapartition`` - Create and remove the CICS transient data intrapartition data set.
* ``trace`` - Allocate the CICS auxiliary trace data sets.
* ``transaction_dump`` - Allocate the CICS transaction dump data sets.

**Changed modules**

* ``local_request_queue`` - New option ``warm`` added to the ``state`` input parameter.

**Bugfixes**

* ``local_request_queue`` and ``local_request_queue`` - The behavior of these modules with ``state`` set to ``initial`` is updated to match documentation.

Version 1.1.0-beta.3
=============
What's New
-------------------

**New modules**

* ``local_request_queue`` - Create and remove the CICS local request queue data set.

**Changed modules**

* ``global_catalog`` and ``local_catalog`` - Added support for the ``region_data_sets`` and ``cics_data_sets`` defaults groups. This enhancement changes the way you specify the data set location for these modules.

Version 1.1.0-beta.2
=============
What's New
-------------------

**New modules**

* ``local_catalog`` - Create, initialize, and manage the CICS local catalog data set.

**Changed modules**

* ``global_catalog`` - Added return values ``start_state``, ``end_state``, and ``executions``.

**Bugfixes**

* ``global_catalog`` - Fixed an issue that when input parameters were lowercase, the module failed. Now these input parameters are not case sensitive.
* ``global_catalog`` - Fixed an issue that was found in the ``changed`` flag. Now the ``changed`` flag corresponds with the actions taken during the ``global_catalog`` execution.


Version 1.1.0-beta.1
=============
What's New
-------------------

**New modules**

* ``global_catalog`` - Create, initialize, and manage the CICS global catalog data set.
