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 [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) said > New Release: ansible-core v2.19.0 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.19.0](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-19-0/43969) #### ansible-core 2.18 [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) shared > New Release: ansible-core v2.18.7 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.18.7](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-18-7/43888) #### ansible-core 2.17 [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) contributed > New Release: ansible-core v2.17.13 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.17.13](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-17-13/43887) ### 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) shared > antsibull-docs 2.19.0 ([antsibull-docs/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-community/antsibull-docs · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v2-19-0)) has been released with a bugfix and new features. The extra docs linter now checks whether toctree entries actually exist. There’s now also a new subcommand, `antsibull-docs ansible-output`, which allows to render RST code blocks with `ansible-playbook` output. This allows to generate output in documentation from playbooks/tasks that are also part of the documentation, without having to manually execute playbooks and copy the results over into the docs. ### 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. #### google.cloud removal cancelled [mariolenz](https://matrix.to/#/@mariolenz:matrix.org) shared > The [vote on canceling the removal of google.cloud](https://forum.ansible.com/t/8609/18) is over.
