dmsimard shared

COLLECTION UPDATES

andersson007_ shared

community.mysql versions 2.3.5 and 3.1.2 have been released.

ashwini shared

The ipaddr filters are broken in ansible.netcommon 2.6.0 release as we have recently migrated ipaddr filters from ansible.netcommon to ansible.utils. We have released utils 2.5.2 and netcommon 2.6.1 which fixed these two issues (ansible.netcommon#375, ansible.utils#148). For the FQDN issue, the ansible-core team has already merged the fix. This fix will be available in the March 28th release, which means that users of non fqdn ipaddr filters can use the old netcommon collection version 2.5.1 as a workaround until the next ansible-core release (March 28th) by the core-team. For fqdn ipaddr filters, users can use the latest versions of any of ansible.netcommon (2.6.1) or ansible.utils (2.5.2).

Ansible docs is proposing to archive older (EOL) releases (aka move them to a new archive site) - If you use an ansible release < 2.8, consider adding comments and voting on this topic at https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/78

samccann shared

Ansible community is adding a formatted yaml file to the collection structure to facilitate adding more links to each collection docs page on docs.ansible.com (including Edit on GitHub), see https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/80 to comment and vote on this yaml file format.

The community.hashi_vault collection is looking for feedback about some upcoming content. This is dedicated content for reading from the KV secret backend (the most commonly used one). If you use HashiCorp Vault with Ansible your input is appreciated! https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/discussions/229
