ansible-static-lint v0.7.0 is out.

ansible-static-lint (`astl`) is a fast, offline static companion to  
ansible-lint. It implements the checks that can be decided from the source  
alone, without starting Python or an Ansible runtime.

It uses the same ansible-lint configuration, rule IDs and `# noqa` comments,  
and reproduces ansible-lint’s pep8 output within its supported scope.

## What’s new in v0.7.0

- Added `no-free-form`, bringing static coverage to 40 of ansible-lint’s  
51 built-in rule IDs.
- GitHub Action now runs on Windows runners.
- Windows usage is documented explicitly: no WSL or Ansible installation  
is required.
- Homebrew releases are now generated automatically.
- Performance documentation and static-scope measurements were refreshed.

The compatibility corpus still reproduces every supported ansible-lint finding  
byte-for-byte.

## Install

With pipx:

```console
pipx install ansible-static-lint
astl .

```

The PyPI wheel contains the native binary; Python is only used as the installation mechanism.

With Homebrew:

```auto
brew install arhuman/tap/ansible-static-lint

```

Or download a standalone binary for Linux, macOS or Windows from the GitHub
