Some important details


This release includes the mitigation of security issue CVE-2023-5764.
See the porting guide below for details.

Python wheels are now available for both Ansible 8 and ansible-core
2.15, resulting in significantly improved installation performance.

In addition, Ansible 8 does not install some unnecessary files from
the included Ansible collections such as tests or hidden files and
directories. This further improves installation performance and
reduces the size on disk. These files are still available in the
source tarball if needed.

Collections which have opted-in to being a part of the Ansible 8
unified changelog will have an entry on this page:

https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/8/CHANGELOG-v8.rst

For collections which have not opted-in to the unified changelog, you
may find more information on

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections

source repository. For example, the community.crypto collection is
available at

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/crypto/index.html

and you can find a link to the source repository under the
"Repository(Sources)" button.

The changelog for ansible-core 2.15.7 installed by this release of
Ansible 8 can be found here:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.15.7/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.15.rst

What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 8.7.0?

This is the final release for Ansible 8 series. The next release
roadmap can be found at

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/ansible_roadmap_index.html

>From now on, the Ansible community package release schedule will
follow the Ansible Core release schedule, including (for example)
delays for holidays. This means Ansible releases happen every four
weeks through most of the year, but release dates may be delayed when
Ansible Core release is.

For the upcoming holiday season, this means that there will be no
Ansible release in early January 2024, but instead on January 30th,
2024.

[ansible-devel] Release announcement: Ansible Community Package 9.0.1

[Anwesha Das]

Hello everyone,

We’re happy to announce the release of Ansible 9.0.1!

This bugfix release was created to fix the Python package metadata in
`setup.cfg` to require Python `>=3.10` to ensure that `pip install ansible`
still works on older Python versions.
Thanks to Jeremy Cornett for reporting this issue!

This release contains the latest version of ansible-core
2.16 and includes a curated set of Ansible collections that provide a
vast number of modules and plugins.

ansible-core is a required dependency, not contained within the
ansible packages.

How to get it?
This release is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/ansible/)
and can be installed with pip:

$ python3 -m pip install ansible==9.0.1 --user

Some important details
---

Python wheels are now available for both Ansible 8 and ansible-core
2.15.x, resulting in significantly improved installation performance.

In addition, Ansible 8 no longer installs some unnecessary files from
the included Ansible collections such as tests or hidden files and
directories to further improve installation performance and reduce the
size on disk. These files are still available in the source tarball if
necessary.

The changelog for ansible-core 2.15.1 installed by this release of
Ansible 8 can be found here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.15.1/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.15.rst

Collections which have opted-in to being a part of the Ansible 8
unified changelog will have an entry on this page:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/8/CHANGELOG-v8.rst

For collections which have not opted-in to the unified changelog, you
may find more information on https://galaxy.ansible.com or the
collection source repository. For example, the community.crypto
collection is available at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto
and you can find a link to the source repository under the "Repo"
button at the top right.

Getting collection updates from Ansible 8 with older releases of ansible-core
--

Ansible 8 includes ansible-core 2.15.x. Based on your requirements,
you can get collection updates as they ship in the Ansible "batteries
included" package while continuing to use older versions of
ansible-core.

An ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from
Ansible 8 has been made available for this use case:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/8/galaxy-requirements.yaml

After you download the requirements file, the collections can be
installed by running this command:

"ansible-galaxy collection install -r galaxy-requirements.yaml"

On behalf of the Ansible community, thank you and happy automating!

Cheers

[ansible-devel] Release announcement : Ansible Community Package 8.0.0b1 (Feature Freeze)

[Anwesha Das]

Hello everyone,

We're happy to announce the release of the Ansible 8.0.0b1 package!

Ansible 8.0.0b1 includes ansible-core 2.15.0 as well as a curated set of
Ansible collections that provide a vast number of modules and plugins.

This is a `Feature Freeze`. No new modules or major features accepted after
today. In practice, this means we will freeze the semver collection
versions to compatible release versions. For example, if the version of
community.crypto on this date was community.crypto 2.3.0; Ansible-8.0.0
could ship with community.crypto 2.3.1. It would not ship with
community.crypto 2.4.0.

Getting collection updates from Ansible 8 with older releases of ansible-core
--

Ansible 8 includes ansible-core 2.15.x. Based on your requirements,
you can get collection updates as they ship in the Ansible "batteries
included" package while continuing to use older versions of
ansible-core.

An ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from
Ansible 8 has been made available for this use case:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/8/galaxy-requirements.yaml

After you download the requirements file, the collections can be
installed by running this command:

"ansible-galaxy collection install -r galaxy-requirements.yaml"

On behalf of the Ansible community, thank you and happy automating!

Cheers,
Ansible Community Team

What's new in Ansible 7
---

Python wheels are now available for both Ansible 7 and ansible-core
2.14.x, resulting in significantly improved installation performance.

In addition, Ansible 7 no longer installs some unnecessary files from
the included Ansible collections such as tests or hidden files and
directories to further improve installation performance and reduce the
size on disk. These files are still available in the source tarball if
necessary.

The changelog for ansible-core 2.14 installed by this release of
Ansible 7 is available here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.14/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.14.rst

Collections which have opted-in to being a part of the Ansible 7
unified changelog will have an entry on this page:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/7/CHANGELOG-v7.rst

For collections which have not opted-in to the unified changelog, you
may find more information on https://galaxy.ansible.com or the
collection source repository. For example, the community.crypto
collection is available at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto
and you can find a link to the source repository under the "Repo"
button at the top right.

What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 7.5.0?
