If you have any questions or content you’d like to share, you’re 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! ## Data tagging and preparing for ansible-core 2.19 `ansible-core` has gone through an extensive rewrite in sections, related to supporting the new data tagging feature, as describe in [Core-2.19 templating changes - preview and testing](https://forum.ansible.com/t/data-tagging-preview-and-testing/40759). These changes are now in the `devel` branch. ### Advice for playbook and roles users and creators This change has the potential to impact both your playbooks/roles and collection development. As such, we are asking the community to test against `devel` and provide feedback as described in [Core-2.19 templating changes - preview and testing](https://forum.ansible.com/t/data-tagging-preview-and-testing/40759). ### Advice for collection maintainers We are asking all collection maintainers to: - Review [Core-2.19 templating changes - preview and testing](https://forum.ansible.com/t/data-tagging-preview-and-testing/40759) for background and where to open issues against `ansible-core` if needed. - Review [Making a collection compatible with core 2.19 and templating changes](https://forum.ansible.com/t/making-a-collection-compatible-with-data-tagging/41717) for advice from your peers. Add your advice to help other collection maintainers prepare for this change. - Add `devel` to your CI testing and periodically verify results through the ansible-core 2.19 release to ensure compatibility with any changes/bugfixes that come as a result of your testing. ## AnsibleFest at Red Hat Summit - May 19-22, 2025 Ansible® is the key to scaling automation—and AnsibleFest is the place to find out how.
