I鈥檓 flattered that you think so, but I am not an Ansible team member of any sort. As such, I have no access to their GitHub repositories to perform any sort of maintenance release. Maybe someone else on the [@CommunityTeam](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/communityteam) can help? ---

@cnfrancis Hey, I鈥檝e just published a new release that should be available from PyPI: [https://pypi.org/project/molecule-plugins/](https://pypi.org/project/molecule-plugins/) Could you please take a look and let us know if this sorts things out for you? Cheers! ---

I should probably also point to the release details here: [Release v23.6.0 路 ansible-community/molecule-plugins 路 GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule-plugins/releases/tag/v23.6.0) There wasn鈥檛 any info about doing the releases that I could find so I sort of just went for it. My rationale with `v23.6.0` was that there were no breaking changes visible in the commits that would really warrant a major version bump. From what I could tell there were some new features that justified a new minor version and this seems to be consistent with the previous versioning pattern. Hopefully that all sounds logical enough. ---

We are also looking for volunteers to start maintaining this project so we don鈥檛 hit this kind of long delay. If anyone here is interested, please do let us know and we can help you understand what鈥檚 required to get releases out etc. ---
