You can now run `ruff check`, `ruff format`, and `ruff check --fix --select ...` as part of the `lint` session; > 2. The `yamllint` session now also checks YAML code blocks in extra docs (RST files in `docs/docsite/rst/`); > 3. The `docs-check` session can now check code block languages in extra docs; > 4. There is a new extra check `no-trailing-whitespace`. #### antibull-docs [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > antsibull-docs 2.17.1 ([antsibull-docs/CHANGELOG.md at 2.17.1 · ansible-community/antsibull-docs · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/blob/2.17.1/CHANGELOG.md#v2-17-1)) has been released with a bugfix that prevents coping collections into temporary directories that are part of an `ansible_collections` tree structure. This can for example happen if antsibull-docs is run from other tools that modify `TMPDIR`. #### antsibull-fileutils [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > antsibull-fileutils 1.3.0 ([antsibull-fileutils/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-community/antsibull-fileutils · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-fileutils/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v1-3-0)) has been released with a bugfix in its collection copier and a new utility that creates temporary directories that are “Ansible-friendly” and are guaranteed to not be part of an existing `ansible_collections` tree structure. #### antsibull-docutils [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) shared > antsibull-docutils 1.2.0 ([antsibull-docutils/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-community/antsibull-docutils · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docutils/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v1-2-0)) has been released with a new utility that allows to enumerate code blocks in RST documents. ### 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 11.7.0 [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > Ansible 11.7.0 package is here! ❤ > 🔗[Release announcement: Ansible community package 11.7.0](https://forum.ansible.com/t/43447) > 💽You can install it by running the following command: > > ```auto > python3 -m pip install ansible==11.7.0 --user > > ``` > > ➡ Check Release Notes 📦🗒 ([https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/11.7.0/11/CHANGELOG-v11.md](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/11.7.0/11/CHANGELOG-v11.md)) and Ansible 11 Porting Guide ([Ansible 11 Porting Guide — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_11.html)) for more details! ## Collection updates 🪄 #### community.crypto [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) shared > community.crypto 3.0.0-rc1 ([community.crypto/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-collections/community.crypto · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v3-0-0-rc1)) has been released with two bugfixes and several refactorings that should not be observable. The idea is to have the final 3.0.0 release out in 1-2 weeks, assuming no serious bug reports come in. If you rely on community.crypto, please test this pre-release to avoid breakage due to some of the many internal changes, breaking changes, and removed features that will appear in 3.0.0. You can find more information on user-facing breaking changes in the 3.0.0-a1 ([community.crypto/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-collections/community.crypto · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v300-a1)) and 3.0.0-a2 ([community.crypto/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-collections/community.crypto · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v300-a2)) changelogs. #### community.routeros [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) shared > community.routeros 3.8.0 ([community.routeros/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-collections/community.routeros · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v3-8-0)) is out with new features for the API modules. #### community.general [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) said > community.general 8.6.11 ([community.general/CHANGELOG.md at stable-8 · ansible-collections/community.general · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/stable-8/CHANGELOG.md#v8-6-11)) and community.general 9.5.9 ([community.general/CHANGELOG.md at stable-9 · ansible-collections/community.general · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/stable-9/CHANGELOG.md#v9-5-9)) have been released.
