If you have any questions or content you鈥檇 like to share, you鈥檙e welcome to chat with us in the [Ansible Social room on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#social:ansible.com), and mention [`newsbot`](https://matrix.to/#/@newsbot:ansible.im) to have your news item tagged for review for the next weekly issue! ## General news updates 馃攬 ### Thank you @thaumos for four years of service [gundalow](https://matrix.to/#/@gundalow:ansible.im) said > After four years of serving on the [Ansible Community Steering Commitee](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/steering/community_steering_committee.html), @thaumos will leave the committee. Thanks for being a member and working with us to improve Ansible! ## Major new releases 馃弳 ### Antsibull [鈫梋(https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull) Tooling for building the `Ansible` package and collection documentation. #### anstsibull-docs-parser [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > antsibull-docs-parser 1.2.0 ([Release 1.2.0 路 ansible-community/antsibull-docs-parser 路 GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs-parser/releases/tag/1.2.0)) has been released. This is a Python library for parsing and formatting Ansible markup. It mainly drops support for Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8, and thus requires Python 3.9+. If you need to use the library with older Python versions, please stick to version 1.1.1. #### antsibull-changelog [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) said > antsibull-changelog 0.32.0 ([Release 0.32.0 路 ansible-community/antsibull-changelog 路 GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-changelog/releases/tag/0.32.0)) is out with a new feature that allows to better control the changelog files written to disk. The old settings controlling such behavior are deprecated, but will stay for a long time and do not produce runtime warnings yet, so there鈥檚 no need to change something anytime soon if you don鈥檛 want to. If you happen to use antsibull-changelog as a library, there have been some breaking changes. (If you do so, it would be nice to know, right now I鈥檓 assuming nobody is doing that except antsibull-docs and antsibull-build.) ## Project updates 馃洜 ### DevTools [鈫梋(https://github.com/ansible/ansible-dev-tools) Projects to make it easier to write and test Ansible Content.
