My library modules stopped working after 1.8

[mto...@go2uti.com]

 Prior to release 1.8, a module named 'mytest' that contained the following worked perfectly:

#!/bin/ksh

echo 'changed=True msg=OK'
exit 0

The command 'ansible server -m mytest -M my_library' would return:

server | success >> {
    "changed": true,
    "msg": "OK"
}

But as of release 1.8, the same command returns:

server | FAILED >> {
    "failed": true,
    "msg": "changed=True msg=OK\r\n",
    "parsed": false
}

So, what changed and what must I do to make it all work again?  I have looked but can't seem to locate any mention of anything about this in the release notes.  It is probably there and I am just not recognizing it.  Can somebody please direct me to where I can find information on this?
Thanks,

"BabyJSON" as it was called was removed in 1.8.  As such, modules must return actual JSON in responses and not the key=value responses.

 Okay, that explains it.  Now can you point me at a good reference that will explain what that should look like?  Obviously, I am not familiar with it.
Thanks,

Found it.  This:

#!/bin/ksh

echo '{"changed": "True", "msg": "OK"}'
exit 0

now returns:

server | success >> {
    "changed": "True",
    "msg": "OK"
}

Easy enough to correct.

This works even better.  I get the correct colors with this:


    #!/bin/ksh

    echo '{
        "changed": true,
        "msg": "OK"
    }'
    exit 0
