v2.5.0

Major Changes

Initial release of the network-engine Ansible role.
This role provides the foundation for building network roles by providing modules and plugins that are common to all Ansible Network roles. All of the artifacts in this role can be used independent of the platform that is being managed.

New Modules

NEW text_parser Parses ASCII text into JSON facts using text_parser engine and YAML-formatted input. Provides a rules-based text parser that is closely modeled after the Ansible playbook language. This parser will iterate over the rules and parse the output of structured ASCII text into a JSON data structure that can be added to the inventory host facts.
NEW textfsm Parses ASCII text into JSON facts using textfsm engine and Google TextFSM-formatted input. Provides textfsm rules-based templates to parse data from text. The template acting as parser will iterate of the rules and parse the output of structured ASCII text into a JSON data structure that can be added to the inventory host facts.
