### Ansible Community Package [↗](https://github.com/ansible-collections)

The `Ansible` package includes `ansible-core` and is a batteries-included package that provides a curated set of Ansible collections. See the [Ansible roadmaps](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/ansible_roadmap_index.html) for future release plans.

#### Ansible 2.x consolidated redirects

[Oranod](https://matrix.to/#/@orandon:ansible.im) contributed

> Ansible 2.x consolidated redirects are live.
> 
> Following on from the annoucement last week, the Ansible community team at Red Hat has made changes to consolidate \>20k redirect rules that applied to `docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.3` to `docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.8` urls. These consolidated redirects mean that plugin and module pages now open to an updated version of the `docs.ansible.com/collections.html` page. Other 2.x pages are redirected to the corresponding page in the latest version of the docs.
> 
> If you want to find out more, please take a look at the forum post on [Consolidating redirects on docs.ansible.com](https://forum.ansible.com/t/consolidating-redirects-on-docs-ansible-com/38897/8). If you spot any issue or want to report a problem with the changes, please either reply to the forum post or open an issue in the [ansible/ansible-documentation](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation) repository.
