To see what’s planned for the next release, look at the [`ansible-core` roadmaps](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible-core/devel/roadmap/ansible_core_roadmap_index.html). ### ansible-core 2.16.20 release [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) said > New Release: ansible-core v2.16.20 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.16.20](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-16-20/46582) ### ansible-core 2.20.11 release [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) said > New Release: ansible-core v2.20.11 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.20.11](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-20-11/46585) ### ansible-core 2.19.15 release [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) contributed > New Release: ansible-core v2.19.15 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.19.15](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-19-15/46584) ### ansible-core 2.21.6 release [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) said > New Release: ansible-core v2.21.6 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.21.6](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-21-6/46586) ### ansible-core 2.22.0 release [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) said > New Release: ansible-core v2.22.0 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.22.0](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-22-0/46587) ### ansible-core 2.18.20 release [ansible-announce](https://matrix.to/#/@ansible-announce:matrix.org) shared > New Release: ansible-core v2.18.20 - [New Release: ansible-core v2.18.20](https://forum.ansible.com/t/new-release-ansible-core-v2-18-20/46583) ### Antsibull [↗](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull) Tooling for building the `Ansible` package and collection documentation. ### antsibull-changelog 0.37.0 release [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > antsibull-changelog 0.37.0 ([Release 0.37.0 · ansible-community/antsibull-changelog · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-changelog/releases/tag/0.37.0)) is out with a few improvements. Now the standard error of ansible-doc invocations is only shown if ansible-doc fails. This hides warnings about deprecated/redirected plugins found while exporting documentation. Also antsibull-changelog now can render changelogs as plain text files (with or without ANSI formatting). The latter feature uses the new antsibull-docutils 1.5.0 ([Release 1.5.0 · ansible-community/antsibull-docutils · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docutils/releases/tag/1.5.0)) release, which also adds support for more RST admonitions when rendering them to GitHub-style MarkDown. ### 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/projects/ansible-core/devel/roadmap/ansible_core_roadmap_index.html) for future release plans. ### Ansible 15.0.0b1 release [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) contributed > Ansible 15.0.0b1 package (pre-release) is here! ❤ > 🔗[Release announcement: Ansible community package 15.0.0b1 (Pre-Release)](https://forum.ansible.com/t/46593) > 💽You can install it by running the following command: > > ```auto > python3 -m pip install ansible==15.0.0b1 --user > > ``` > > ➡ Check Release Notes 📦🗒 ([ansible-build-data/15/CHANGELOG-v15.md at 15.0.0b1 · ansible-community/ansible-build-data · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/15.0.0b1/15/CHANGELOG-v15.md)) and Ansible 15 Porting Guide ([Ansible 15 Porting Guide — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_15.html)) for more details! ### Ansible 14.6.0 release [Felix Fontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:matrix.org) said > Ansible 14.6.0 package is here! ❤ > 🔗[Release announcement: Ansible community package 14.6.0](https://forum.ansible.com/t/46599) > 💽You can install it by running the following command: > > ```auto > python3 -m pip install ansible==14.6.0 --user > > ``` > > ➡ Check Release Notes 📦🗒 ([ansible-build-data/14/CHANGELOG-v14.md at 14.6.0 · ansible-community/ansible-build-data · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/14.6.0/14/CHANGELOG-v14.md)) and Ansible 14 Porting Guide ([Ansible 14 Porting Guide — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_14.html)) for more details! ## Project updates 🛠 ### Molecule Plugins 26.11.0 release [dbrennand](https://matrix.to/#/@dbrenuk:matrix.org) said > [Molecule Plugins v26.11.0](https://forum.ansible.com/t/release-announcement-molecule-plugins-v26-11-0/46580) has been released with support for provisioning an instance via the GCE driver with GPUs attached and a fix for passing memory, swap and PID limits to containers created via the Podman driver. ### DebOps 3.4.0 release [drybjed](https://matrix.to/#/@drybjed:matrix.org) contributed > DebOps v3.4.0 has been released.
