Hello everyone, We are happy to announce the release of ansible-creator v26.3.3. # How to get it You can install the latest version of all the ansible developer tools by running the following command: ```bash python3 -m pip install -U ansible-dev-tools ``` This will install the following developer tools: - [ansible-builder](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/builder/): a utility for building Ansible execution environments. - [ansible-core](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/ansible/): Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. - [ansible-creator](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/creator/): a utility for scaffolding Ansible project and content with recommended practices. - [ansible-dev-environment](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/dev-environment/): a utility for building and managing a virtual environment for Ansible content development. - [ansible-lint](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/lint/): a utility to identify and correct stylistic errors and anti-patterns in Ansible playbooks and roles. - [ansible-navigator](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/navigator/) a text-based user interface (TUI) for developing and troubleshooting Ansible content with execution environments. - [ansible-sign](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/sign/): a utility for signing and verifying Ansible content. - [molecule](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/molecule/): a functional test runner for Ansible collections, playbooks and roles - [pytest-ansible](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/pytest-ansible/): a pytest testing framework extension that provides additional functionality for testing Ansible module and plugin Python code. - [tox-ansible](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/tox-ansible/): an extension to the tox testing utility that provides additional functionality to check Ansible module and plugin Python code under different Python interpreters and Ansible core versions. For a single tool, you can install it by running: ```bash python3 -m pip -U install == ``` All ansible developer tools are also packaged in an image that you can use as a [VS Code development container](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers). The image is updated shortly after releases of any individual tool. The [community-dev-tools](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-dev-tools/pkgs/container/community-ansible-dev-tools) image is available on GitHub Container Registry. ```auto podman run -it ghcr.io/ansible/community-ansible-dev-tools:latest ``` Sample `devcontainer.json` files are available in the [ansible-dev-tools](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-dev-tools/tree/main/.devcontainer) repository. # Release notes for ansible-creator v26.3.3 ## Features - feat: add `image_build_tag` workflow input for custom build tags (#568) @NilashishC - feat: add `--registry-tls-verify` CLI option for container registry TLS control (#564) @NilashishC - feat: add SCM servers support for private Git collection repositories (#559) @cidrblock - feat: make EE workflow configurable at runtime with dispatch inputs (#558) @NilashishC - feat: replace hardcoded hub URLs with generic galaxy\_servers list (#556) @cidrblock - feat: wire `ee_file_name` through CLI so scaffolded EE projects use the custom filename (#557) @NilashishC - feat: add registry and image\_name to EE configuration (#555) @cidrblock - feat: add ee\_file\_name to EEConfig for custom EE definition file names (#548) @cidrblock ## Fixes - fix: enforce GITHUB\_TOKEN for [ghcr.io](http://ghcr.io) registry login (#570) @NilashishC - fix: update python interpreter to `3.12` for AAP 2.5 and unversioned official EE images (#562) @NilashishC - fix: add workflow\_dispatch input defaults in ee-build template (#561) @NilashishC - ci(ee): verify buildah \>= 1.24 before building with --build-arg (#552) @cidrblock - fix: omit empty `additional_build_steps` and simplify workflow inputs (#560) @NilashishC - fix(ee): remove broken curl-based Automation Hub token validation (#554) @cidrblock - fix: rename EEConfig JSON key from “name” to “ee\_name” for CLI consistency (#553) @cidrblock - docs: fix EE project tree in installing.md (ci.yml → ee-build.yml) (#547) @cidrblock - fix: redesign ansible.cfg build flow — volume mount, ARG tokens, nothing in layers (#546) @cidrblock - fix: harden EE workflow — warn-only base image check, tighten token conditions (#545) @cidrblock - fix: Update ansible.cfg structure for official EE images (#544) @anusshukla ## Maintenance - chore(deps): update all dependencies pep621 (#550) @[renovate[bot]](https://github.com/apps/renovate) - chore(deps): update dependencies (#551) @[renovate[bot]](https://github.com/apps/renovate) - chore(deps): update all dependencies (#549) @[renovate[bot]](https://github.com/apps/renovate) Release notes for all versions can be found in the [changelog](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/releases).
