Hey everyone,

We're excited to announce a new major version of AWX, 7.0.0.

Here's what's new:

- AWX now detects and installs Ansible Collections defined in your project (note - this feature only works in Ansible 2.9+) ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/2534](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/2534))  
- AWX now includes an official command line client. Keep an eye out for a follow-up email on this mailing list for information on how to install it and try it out.  
- Added the ability to provide a specific SCM branch on jobs ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/282](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/282))  
- Added support for Workflow Approval Nodes, a new feature which allows you to add "pause and wait for approval" steps into your workflows ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/1206](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/1206))  
- Added the ability to specify a specific HTTP method for webhook notifications (POST vs PUT) ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4124](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4124))  
- Added the ability to specify a username and password for HTTP Basic Authorization for webhook notifications ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4124](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4124))  
- Added support for customizing the text content of notifications ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/79](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/79))  
- Added the ability to enable and disable hosts in dynamic inventory ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4420](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4420))  
- Added the description (if any) to the Job Template list ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4359](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4359))  
- Added new metrics for instance hostnames and pending jobs to the /api/v2/metrics/ endpoint ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4375](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4375))  
- Changed AWX's on/off toggle buttons to a non-text based style to simplify internationalization ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4425](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4425))  
- Events emitted by ansible for adhoc commands are now sent to the external log aggregrator ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4545](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4545))  
- Fixed a bug which allowed a user to make an organization credential in another organization without permissions to that organization ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4483](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4483))  
- Fixed a bug that caused `extra_vars` on workflows to break when edited ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4293](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4293))  
- Fixed a slow SQL query that caused performance issues when large numbers of groups exist ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4461](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4461))  
- Fixed a few minor bugs in survey field validation ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4509](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4509)) ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4479](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4479))  
- Fixed a bug that sometimes resulted in orphaned `ansible_runner_pi` directories in `/tmp` after playbook execution ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4409](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4409))  
- Fixed a bug that caused the `is_system_auditor` flag in LDAP configuration to not work ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4396](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4396))  
- Fixed a bug which caused schedules to disappear from the UI when toggled off ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4378](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4378))  
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused stdout content to contain extraneous blank lines in newer versions of Ansible ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4391](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4391))  
- Updated to the latest Django security release, 2.2.4 ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4410](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4410)) ([https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2019/aug/01/security-releases/](https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2019/aug/01/security-releases/))  
- Updated the default version of git to a version that includes support for x509 certificates ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4362](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4362))  
- Removed the deprecated `credential` field from `/api/v2/workflow_job_templates/N/` (as part of the `/api/v1/` removal in prior AWX versions - [https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4490](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4490)).
