0.46.0

Release Summary

Feature and bugfix release with improvements for the release role, release building, and changelog generation.

Minor Changes

• Avoid including the complete condensed changelog of collections added to Ansible to that Ansible release's changelog and porting guide entries (#428).
• The build-release role now also uses antsibull_data_reset to prevent regeneration of build-X.ansible for alpha and beta-1 releases (#422).

Bugfixes

• In the build-release role, when antsibull_force_rebuild is true, delete the existing python wheel in addition to the release tarball (#427).
• Remove various empty lines from generated setup.py (#424, #425).
• Use packaging.version instead of (indirectly) distutils.version to check whether the correct ansible-core version is installed (#426).

0.45.1

Release Summary

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes

• The build-release role now no longer ignores collection prereleases of collections for the alpha releases (#420).

0.45.0

Release Summary

New feature release with one breaking change to the build-release role.

Minor Changes

• Add antsibull-build subcommand validate-deps which validates dependencies for an ansible_collections tree (#416).
• Check collection dependencies during antsibull-build rebuild-single and warn about errors (#416).
• In the build-release role, stop shipping a separate roles/build-release/files/deps-to-galaxy.py script and use the new galaxy-requirements.yaml style file created during release preparation (#417).
• Update Ansible's README.rst to focus on Ansible package details (#415).
• When preparing a new Ansible release with antsibull-build prepare or antsibull-build single, create a galaxy-requirements.yaml style file next to the dependencies file (#417).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

• The build-release role no longer uses poetry to run antsibull, but assumes that antsibull is installed. To revert to the old behavior, set the Ansible variable antsibull_build_command to poetry run antsibull (#420).

0.44.0

Release Summary

Split up antsibull into multiple PyPi packages (antsibull-core, antsibull-docs, and antsibull). Note that upgrading is a bit more complicated due to the way pip works! See below for details.

Major Changes

• The antsibull package now depends on antsibull-core and antsibull-docs, and most code was moved to these two packages. The antsibull-docs CLI tool is now part of the antsibull-docs package as well. The behavior of the new version should be identical to the previous version (#414).

Deprecated Features

• The antsibull-lint command is deprecated. Use antsibull-changelog lint-changelog-yaml instead of antsibull-lint changelog-yaml, and use antsibull-docs lint-collection-docs instead of antsibull-lint collection-docs (#412, #410).

Known Issues

• When upgrading from antsibull < 0.44.0 to antsibull 0.44.0+, it could happen that the antsibull-docs binary is removed due to how pip works. To make sure the antsibull-docs binary is present, either first uninstall (pip uninstall antsibull) before installing the latest antsibull version, or re-install antsibull-docs once the installation finished (pip install --force-reinstall antsibull-docs) (#414).

0.43.0

Release Summary

Feature release.

Minor Changes

• Add lint-collection-docs subcommand to antsibull-docs. It behaves identical to antsibull-lint collection-docs (#411, #410).
• Support MANIFEST.json and not only galaxy.yml for antsibull-docs lint-collection-docs and antsibull-lint collection-docs (#411).

Bugfixes

• Prevent crashing when non-strings are found for certain pathnames for antsibull-docs lint-collection-docs and antsibull-lint collection-docs (#411).

0.42.1

Release Summary

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes

• antsibull-docs sphinx-init - the --fail-on-error option resulted in an invalid build.sh (#409).

0.42.0

Release Summary

Major feature release preparing for Ansible 6. Also adds support for the new collection links file, and improves the attributes tables.

Major Changes

• Allow collections to specify extra links (#355).
• Building Ansible 6+ now builds wheels next to the source tarball (#394).
• From Ansible 6 on, improve setup.py to exclude unnecessary files in the Python distribution (#342).
• Remove Ansible 2.9 / ansible-base 2.10 checks from setup.py for Ansible 6 so that we can finally ship wheels. This change is only active for Ansible 6 (#394).

Minor Changes

• Add a new docs parsing backend ansible-core-2.13, which supports ansible-core 2.13+ (#401).
• Add an autodetection auto for the docs parsing backend to select the fastest supported backend. This is the new default (#401).
• Add option --no-semantic-versioning to antsibull-lint changelog-yaml command (#405).
• Change more references to ansible-base to ansible-core in the code (#398).
• If the role is used to build a non-alpha or first beta version and the bulid file does not exist, it is created instead of later failing because it does not exist (#408).
• Mention the ansible-core major version in the Ansible porting guide (#397).
• Redo attributes table using the same structure as the options and return value table. This improves its look and adds a linking mechanism (#401).

Bugfixes

• Fix filename of mentioned ansible-core porting guide in Ansible's porting guide introductionary comment (#398).
