v0.62.0

Release Summary

Feature release for improving the automatic release workflow.

Minor Changes

  • Add option --preserve-deps to the prepare subcommand that allows to preserve the dependencies if a .deps file for that version already exists. The versions from that .deps file are validated against the build requirements and constraints, and the remainder of the release preparation process remains unchanged. The release role allows to pass this flag when antsibull_preserve_deps=true (#599).
  • Allow the release role to skip the prepare step by setting antsibull_skip_prepare=true if the .deps file already exists (#598).
  • The prepare subcommand will no longer overwrite an existing release summary in the changelog.yaml file (#597).
  • Use feature freeze for all betas from b2 on, and all release candidates in the release role (#598).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

  • Adjust the pip install antsibull call in the build-ansible.sh script added to the ansible source distribution to use the version of antsibull used to build the ansible release (#563).
  • Change the license from GPL-3.0-or-later to GPL-3.0-or-later AND Python-2.0.1. Antsibull now contains a small amount of code derived from CPython (#556).

v0.57.0

Release Summary

This release adds a couple new features and drops support for older ansible versions.

Minor Changes

  • Antsibull now no longer depends directly on sh (#514).
  • Antsibull now uses sys.executable instead of the first 'python' in $PATH to call the PyPA build tool (#514).
  • Make dep_closure errors clearer by including the offending collection's version in the message (#531).
  • Move setuptools configuration into the declarative setup.cfg format for Ansible 9 and above. ansible sdists will still contain a setup.py file, but we recommend that users move to tools like pip and build and the PEP 517 interface instead of setuptools' deprecated setup.py interface (#530).
  • Now depends antsibull-core 2.0.0 or newer; antsibull-core 1.x.y is no longer supported (#514).
  • release playbook - run antsibull-build validate-tags-file to ensure that collections follow the Release Management section of the Collection Requirements (#518).

Removed Features (previously deprecated)

  • Remove code to build ansible versions < 6.0.0 from the setup.py template and elsewhere in the codebase. antsibull-build will error out if a user attempts to build an unsupported version (#477, #524).
  • Removed the deprecated multiple and collection subcommands (#522, #525).

Bugfixes

  • Properly handle non-standard version ranges or version pins for feature freeze (#532, #533).

v0.56.1

Release Summary

Hotfix release to fix compatibility with older setuptools versions

Bugfixes

  • For setup.py generated for Ansible 8+, do not use recursive globs (**) as these are only supported since setuptools 62.3.0 (#520).

v0.56.0

Release Summary

Maintenance release.

Minor Changes

  • Remove now broken self-test from release role (#512).
  • Remove the parameters antsibull_ansible_git_repo, antsibull_ansible_git_version, and antsibull_ansible_git_dir from release role (#512).

v0.55.0

Release Summary

Release with new features, other improvements, a new build system, and a deprecation

Major Changes

  • Change pyproject build backend from poetry-core to hatchling. pip install antsibull works exactly the same as before, but some users may be affected depending on how they build/install the project (#490).

Minor Changes

  • Add a -I / --ignore and a --ignores-file flag to the antsibull-build validate-tags and antsibull-build validate-tags-file subcommands to ignore errors for certain collections (#491).
  • Make compatible with deprecations issued by newer setuptools releases (#433, #502).
  • Use the pypa build tool to build wheels and source distributions for ansible in an isolated environment. This replaces direct calls to python setup.py bdist_wheel and python setup.py sdist which are deprecated (#492).

Deprecated Features

  • The multiple and collection subcommands are deprecated and will be removed soon. They were never used to our knowledge except in the exploratory phase before the first Ansible 2.10 releases, have no test coverage, and might not even work at all. If you are actively using them and are interested in keeping them, please create an issue in the antsibull repository as soon as possible (#505).

v0.54.0

Release Summary

New release with features, bugfixes, and breaking changes.

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

v0.53.0

Release Summary

Feature and bugfix release.

  • Add pyproject.toml to ansible sdist to use the setuptools.build_meta PEP 517 backend. Tools that still call setup.py directly will work the same as they did before (#471).
  • Bump minimum antsibull-core requirement to 1.5.0. It contains changes that are needed for the new --tags-file option (#476).
  • There have been internal refactorings to simplify typing (#469).

  • Do not crash when the changelogs/changelog.yaml file of a collection cannot be loaded (#481, #482).

v0.52.0

Release Summary

Major feature and bugfix release with breaking changes.

v0.51.2

Release Summary

Bugfix release. The next minor release will no longer support Python 3.6 and 3.7.

Bugfixes

  • Add --collection-dir to the antsibull-build collection and build-collection subcommands. Previously, the --collection-dir option was added to the wrong CLI argument parser and not exposed to users. (#461).
  • Use compatibility code instead of trying to run asyncio.run directly, which will fail with Python 3.6 (#459).

v0.51.1

Release Summary

Bugfix release.

Feature release for Ansible 7.

Minor Changes

  • Now requires antsibull-core >= 1.3.0 (#449).
  • The python_requires information is now extracted from ansible-core and stored in the .build and .deps files instead of guessing it from the Ansible version (#449).

Release Summary

Feature and bugfix release.

Minor Changes

  • Added galaxy requirements.yml file as build-release role depends on community.general collection (#432)
  • Define minimal Python requirement for Ansible X depending on X, under the assumption that ansible-core's Python requirement is increased by one version every two ansible-core major releases, and that every Ansible major release corresponds to an ansible-core major release from Ansible 5 on (#448).
  • The build-release role fails to execute when ./build/antsibull-build-data doesn't exist and when the antsibull_data_reset variable is set to false (#442).
  • When building Ansible 6.3.0 or newer, fail on collection dependency validations (ansible-community/community-topics#94, #440).

Bugfixes

  • Adjust release role to work around a bug in the current beta version of ansible-core 2.14 (#447).
  • Fix typing errors in the multiple subcommand (#443).

v0.49.0

Release Summary

Bugfix and feature release containing breaking changes in the release role.

Minor Changes

  • Allow to copy the files used to create the source distribution and wheels to a new directory during antsibull-build rebuild-single (#435).
  • Perform minor refactoring of the build-release role, mostly concerning tasks/tests.yml. This reduces use of shell and set_fact, makes the role more robust, and replaces short names with FQCNs (#432).
  • Show warnings emitted by building the source distribution and/or wheels (#435).
  • The files in the source repository now follow the REUSE Specification. The only exceptions are changelog fragments in changelogs/fragments/ (#437).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

  • The build-release role now depends on the community.general collection (#432).

Bugfixes

  • Fix typo in generated MANIFEST.in to list the existing file README.rst instead of the non-existing file README (#435).
  • When preparing a new Ansible release, only use pre-releases for ansible-core when the Ansible release itself is an alpha pre-release. This encodes that the first beta release of a new major Ansible release coincides with the ansible-core GA (#436).

v0.48.0

Release Summary

Bugfix and feature release containing some breaking changes in the release role.

Minor Changes

  • In the release role, automatically set antsibull_build_file and antsibull_data_dir based on antsibull_ansible_version (#430).
  • The release role has now an argument spec (#430).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

  • In the release role, antsibull_ansible_version and antsibull_ansible_git_version must now always be specified (#430).

Bugfixes

  • When preparing a new Ansible release, bump the ansible-core version to the latest bugfix version (#430).

v0.47.0

Release Summary

Feature release for Ansible 6.0.0rc1.

Minor Changes

  • Include ansible-community CLI program with --version parameter from Ansible 6.0.0rc1 on (#429).

v0.46.0

Feature and bugfix release with improvements for the release role, release building, and changelog generation.

Minor Changes

  • Avoid including the complete condensed changelog of collections added to Ansible to that Ansible release's changelog and porting guide entries (#428).
  • The build-release role now also uses antsibull_data_reset to prevent regeneration of build-X.ansible for alpha and beta-1 releases (#422).

Bugfixes

  • In the build-release role, when antsibull_force_rebuild is true, delete the existing python wheel in addition to the release tarball (#427).
  • Remove various empty lines from generated setup.py (#424, #425).
  • Use packaging.version instead of (indirectly) distutils.version to check whether the correct ansible-core version is installed (#426).

v0.45.1

Release Summary

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes

  • The build-release role now no longer ignores collection prereleases of collections for the alpha releases (#420).

v0.45.0

Release Summary

New feature release with one breaking change to the build-release role.

Minor Changes

  • Add antsibull-build subcommand validate-deps which validates dependencies for an ansible_collections tree (#416).
  • Check collection dependencies during antsibull-build rebuild-single and warn about errors (#416).
  • In the build-release role, stop shipping a separate roles/build-release/files/deps-to-galaxy.py script and use the new galaxy-requirements.yaml style file created during release preparation (#417).
  • Update Ansible's README.rst to focus on Ansible package details (#415).
  • When preparing a new Ansible release with antsibull-build prepare or antsibull-build single, create a galaxy-requirements.yaml style file next to the dependencies file (#417).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

  • The build-release role no longer uses poetry to run antsibull, but assumes that antsibull is installed. To revert to the old behavior, set the Ansible variable antsibull_build_command to poetry run antsibull (#420).

v0.44.0

Release Summary

Split up antsibull into multiple PyPi packages (antsibull-core, antsibull-docs, and antsibull). Note that upgrading is a bit more complicated due to the way pip works! See below for details.

Major Changes

  • The antsibull package now depends on antsibull-core and antsibull-docs, and most code was moved to these two packages. The antsibull-docs CLI tool is now part of the antsibull-docs package as well. The behavior of the new version should be identical to the previous version (#414).

Deprecated Features

  • The antsibull-lint command is deprecated. Use antsibull-changelog lint-changelog-yaml instead of antsibull-lint changelog-yaml, and use antsibull-docs lint-collection-docs instead of antsibull-lint collection-docs (#412, #410).

Known Issues

  • When upgrading from antsibull < 0.44.0 to antsibull 0.44.0+, it could happen that the antsibull-docs binary is removed due to how pip works. To make sure the antsibull-docs binary is present, either first uninstall (pip uninstall antsibull) before installing the latest antsibull version, or re-install antsibull-docs once the installation finished (pip install --force-reinstall antsibull-docs) (#414).

v0.43.0

Release Summary

Feature release.

Minor Changes

  • Add lint-collection-docs subcommand to antsibull-docs. It behaves identical to antsibull-lint collection-docs (#411, #410).

Bugfixes

  • Prevent crashing when non-strings are found for certain pathnames for antsibull-docs lint-collection-docs and antsibull-lint collection-docs (#411).

v0.42.1

Release Summary

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes

  • antsibull-docs sphinx-init - the --fail-on-error option resulted in an invalid build.sh (#409).

v0.42.0

Release Summary

Major feature release preparing for Ansible 6. Also adds support for the new collection links file, and improves the attributes tables.

Major Changes

  • Allow collections to specify extra links (#355).
  • Building Ansible 6+ now builds wheels next to the source tarball (#394).
  • From Ansible 6 on, improve setup.py to exclude unnecessary files in the Python distribution (#342).
  • Remove Ansible 2.9 / ansible-base 2.10 checks from setup.py for Ansible 6 so that we can finally ship wheels. This change is only active for Ansible 6 (#394).

Minor Changes

  • Add a new docs parsing backend ansible-core-2.13, which supports ansible-core 2.13+ (#401).

  • Add option --no-semantic-versioning to antsibull-lint changelog-yaml command (#405).
  • Change more references to ansible-base to ansible-core in the code (#398).
  • If the role is used to build a non-alpha or first beta version and the bulid file does not exist, it is created instead of later failing because it does not exist (#408).
  • Mention the ansible-core major version in the Ansible porting guide (#397).
  • Redo attributes table using the same structure as the options and return value table. This improves its look and adds a linking mechanism (#401).

Bugfixes

  • Fix ansible-core version parsing for ansible-doc docs parsing backend (#401).
  • Fix filename of mentioned ansible-core porting guide in Ansible's porting guide introductionary comment (#398).

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes

  • Fix rsync call when antsibull-docs sphinx-init is used with --squash-hieararchy (#382).
  • Fix invalid HTML in return value RST tables. Closing </div> were missing for a wrapping <div> of every content cell, causing problems with some text-based browsers (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/issues/386, #387).
  • Work around Python argparse bug by using vendored class for all Python versions until the bug is fixed in argparse. This makes --help work for all antsibull-docs subcommands (#384).
