![bullhorn-pool.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/1X/bfccdf465dbf3994b176735604b2bf4241fa03fa.png) **This week in Ansible Community** _Issue #191, 2025-06-27 ([Past Issues](https://forum.ansible.com/c/news/bullhorn/17))_ Welcome to [The Bullhorn](https://forum.ansible.com/c/news/bullhorn/17), our newsletter for the Ansible Community. 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! ## Major new releases 🏆 ### Ansible-Core [↗](https://github.com/ansible/ansible) The `ansible-core` package contains the base engine and a small subset of modules and plugins. To see what’s planned for the next release, look at the [`ansible-core` roadmaps](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/devel/roadmap/ansible_core_roadmap_index.html). #### ansible-core 2.19 beta [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) contributed > New Release: ansible-core v2.19.0b7 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.19.0b7](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-19-0b7/43546) ### Antsibull [↗](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull) Tooling for building the `Ansible` package and collection documentation. #### antsibull-docs [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > antsibull-docs 2.18.0 ([antsibull-docs/CHANGELOG.md at 2.18.0 · ansible-community/antsibull-docs · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/blob/2.18.0/CHANGELOG.md#v2-18-0)) has been released with a bugfix, some new features, and some deprecations. First the `lint-collection-docs` subcommand has been extended to be able to also validate references in extra documentation when using antsibull-docs’ roles such as `:ansopt:`, `:ansretval:`, `:ansplugin:`. Then the `:ansplugin:` role has been extended to also allow referencing role entrypoints (and not just the whole role), and a new role `:anscollection:` has been added that allows to reference a collection page, some of its sections, and the collection’s changelog. The deprecation is about the defaults of various feature flags for the `lint-collection-docs` subcommand; antsibull-docs 3.0.0 will enable more checks by default and disable a rather slow and not really needed check. See the changelog or the documentation ([Creating a collection docsite - antsibull-docs – Ansible Documentation Build Scripts](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/antsibull-docs/collection-docs/)) for details. ### 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 12 alpha [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > Ansible 12.0.0a7 package (pre-release) is here! ❤ > 🔗[Release announcement: Ansible community package 12.0.0a7 (Pre-Release)](https://forum.ansible.com/t/43557) > 💽You can install it by running the following command: > > ```auto > python3 -m pip install ansible==12.0.0a7 --user > > ``` > > ➡ Check Release Notes 📦🗒 ([ansible-build-data/12/CHANGELOG-v12.md at 12.0.0a7 · ansible-community/ansible-build-data · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/12.0.0a7/12/CHANGELOG-v12.md)) and Ansible 12 Porting Guide ([Ansible 12 Porting Guide — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_12.html)) for more details! # Help wanted 🙏 ### Ansible Meetups [gundalow](https://matrix.to/#/@gundalow:ansible.im) said > Ansible Meetups > Did you know that Ansible has meetups across the globe, we are looking for your feedback on how we can improve them. > > - Does the current setup work? > - How can we better promote events? > - What do we need to change so you can attend in-person events? > - Would you attend virtual meetups? > - If we did virtual meetups, how can we make them interactive, fun and useful? > > Please provide your ideas via [the forum post](https://forum.ansible.com/t/improving-ansible-meetups/43491/2). ## Other events and releases Use the Ansible Forum to see [other events](https://forum.ansible.com/c/events/8) and [releases](https://forum.ansible.com/c/news/releases/18). ## Collection updates 🪄 ### Networking collection updates [Ruchi Pakhle](https://matrix.to/#/@ruchip:ansible.im) shared > - [`arista.eos`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/arista.eos) had a good amount of community issues and open PR’s reviewed and merged. > > Big kudos to bewing and other folks for raising PRs and issues, thanks for all your efforts! 🎉 > > - [`ansible.utils`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils) also had the codehealth improvement done where we fixed the CI which was affected by the 2.19 ansible-core templatimg changes, its all green now and we also reviewed the open community PR’s 🎉 > > 🔗 Can check this [PR](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/pull/400) for more details! ### Certified collections updates - [dellemc.powerflex 2.6.1](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/dellemc/powerflex) - [dellemc.powerscale 3.9.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/dellemc/powerscale) - [dellemcpowermax 4.0.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/dellemc/powermax) - [cloud.common 5.0.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/cloud/common) - [vyos.vyos 6.0.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/vyos/vyos) - [f5\_bigip 3.13.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/f5networks/f5_bigip) - [netscaler.adc 2.9.2](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/netscaler/adc) - [ansible.eda 2.7.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/ansible/eda) - [google.cloud 1.6.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/google/cloud) - [zscaler.ziacloud 2.0.5](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/zscaler/ziacloud) - [vmware.vmare 2.2.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/vmware/vmware) - [fortinet.fortimanager 2.10.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/fortinet/fortimanager) - [netapp.storagegrid 21.5.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/netapp/storagegrid) ## Join the Ansible community Looking for ways to get involved?
