Some important details

ansible-core is a separate package on which ansible depends. pip install ansible installs ansible-core, but it can also be installed independently of the ansible package.

Collections that have opted to join the Ansible 10 unified changelog will have an entry on this page:

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

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

or on the collection 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 2.17 installed by this release of Ansible 10 can be found here:

What’s the schedule for new Ansible releases after 10.5.0?

The next release roadmap can be found at

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

The Ansible community package release schedule follows 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 releases are.

Getting collection updates from Ansible 10 with older releases of ansible-core

Ansible 10 depends on ansible-core 2.17. Depending on your needs, you can get collection updates as they ship in the Ansible “batteries included” package while continuing to use older versions of ansible-core.

See the ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from Ansible 10 for this use case:

After you download the requirements file, you can install the collections by running the following command:

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

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

Cheers,
