Hello everyone, We are happy to announce the release of ansible-creator v26.9.0. # 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 v26.9.0 ## Features - feat(de): add decision\_environment as first-class init project type (#636) @fistilis ## Fixes - fix(lint): raise pylint max-module-lines to unblock CI (#642) @rockygeekz ## Maintenance - chore(deps): update all dependencies pep621 (#647) @[renovate[bot]](https://github.com/apps/renovate) - chore: Add .github/SECURITY.md (#645) @gundalow - chore(deps): update all dependencies pep621 (#644) @[renovate[bot]](https://github.com/apps/renovate) - chore(deps): update all dependencies (#643) @[renovate[bot]](https://github.com/apps/renovate) - chore(deps): update all dependencies (#641) @[renovate[bot]](https://github.com/apps/renovate) - chore(deps): bump cryptography from 49.0.0 to 50.0.0 (#637) @[dependabot[bot]](https://github.com/apps/dependabot) ## What’s Changed - feat(de): add decision\_environment as first-class init project type by @fistilis in [feat(de): add decision\_environment as first-class init project type by fistilis · Pull Request #636 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/636) - chore(deps): bump cryptography from 49.0.0 to 50.0.0 by @dependabot[bot] in [chore(deps): bump cryptography from 49.0.0 to 50.0.0 by dependabot[bot] · Pull Request #637 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/637) - fix(lint): raise pylint max-module-lines to unblock CI by @rockygeekz in [fix(lint): raise pylint max-module-lines to unblock CI by rockygeekz · Pull Request #642 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/642) - chore(deps): update all dependencies by @renovate[bot] in [chore(deps): update all dependencies by renovate[bot] · Pull Request #641 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/641) - chore(deps): update all dependencies by @renovate[bot] in [chore(deps): update all dependencies by renovate[bot] · Pull Request #643 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/643) - chore(deps): update all dependencies pep621 by @renovate[bot] in [chore(deps): update all dependencies pep621 by renovate[bot] · Pull Request #644 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/644) - chore: Add .github/SECURITY.md by @gundalow in [chore: Add .github/SECURITY.md by gundalow · Pull Request #645 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/645) - chore(deps): update all dependencies pep621 by @renovate[bot] in [chore(deps): update all dependencies pep621 by renovate[bot] · Pull Request #647 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/647) ## New Contributors - @fistilis made their first contribution in [feat(de): add decision\_environment as first-class init project type by fistilis · Pull Request #636 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/636) - @gundalow made their first contribution in [chore: Add .github/SECURITY.md by gundalow · Pull Request #645 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/pull/645) **Full Changelog** : [Comparing v26.8.0...v26.9.0 · ansible/ansible-creator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/compare/v26.8.0...v26.9.0) Release notes for all versions can be found in the [changelog](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-creator/releases).
