* excludes scenario guides from core docs, splits porting guides and roadmaps, symlinks indices to create index.html pages, and adds .gitignore entries for conf.py and the toplevel index.rst files generated by the docs build This solution builds three types of docs: * ansible-2.10 and earlier: all the docs. Handle this via `make webdocs ANSIBLE_VERSION=2.10` * ansible-3 and later: a subset of the docs for the ansible package. Handle this via `make webdocs ANSIBLE_VERSION=3` (change the ANSIBLE_VERSION to match the version being built for. * ansible-core: a subset of the docs for the ansible-core package. Handle this via `make coredocs`. * `make webdocs` now always builds all the collection docs * Use `make coredocs` to limit it to core plugins only * The user specifies the desired version. If no ANSIBLE_VERSION is specified, build plugins for the latest release of ansible Co-authored-by: Toshio Kuratomi <a.badger@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Matt Clay <matt@mystile.com>

Release schedule
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Ansible is switching from its traditional versioning scheme to `semantic versioning <https://semver.org/>`_ starting with this release. So this version is 3.0.0 instead of 2.11.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:2020-12-16: Finalize rules for net-new collections submitted for the ansible release.
|
|
:2021-01-27: Final day for new collections to be **reviewed and approved**. They MUST be
|
|
submitted prior to this to give reviewers a chance to look them over and for collection owners
|
|
to fix any problems.
|
|
:2021-02-02: Ansible-3.0.0-beta1 -- feature freeze [1]_
|
|
:2021-02-09: Ansible-3.0.0-rc1 -- final freeze [2]_ [3]_
|
|
:2021-02-16: Release of Ansible-3.0.0
|
|
:2021-03-09: Release of Ansible-3.1.0 (bugfix + compatible features: every three weeks)
|
|
|
|
.. [1] No new modules or major features accepted after this date. In practice this means we will freeze the semver collection versions to compatible release versions. For example, if the version of community.crypto on this date was community-crypto-2.1.0; ansible-3.0.0 could ship with community-crypto-2.1.1. It would not ship with community-crypto-2.2.0.
|
|
|
|
.. [2] After this date only changes blocking a release are accepted. Accepted changes require creating a new rc and may slip the final release date.
|
|
.. [3] Collections will only be updated to a new version if a blocker is approved. Collection owners should discuss any blockers at a community IRC meeting (before this freeze) to decide whether to bump the version of the collection for a fix. See the `Community IRC meeting agenda <https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/539>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Breaking changes may be introduced in Ansible 3.0.0, although we encourage collection owners to use deprecation periods that will show up in at least one Ansible release before the breaking change happens.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ansible minor releases
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Ansible 3.x.x minor releases will occur approximately every three weeks if changes to collections have been made or if it is deemed necessary to force an upgrade to a later ansible-base-2.10.x. Ansible 3.x.x minor releases may contain new features but not backwards incompatibilities. In practice, this means we will include new collection versions where either the patch or the minor version number has changed but not when the major number has changed. For example, if Ansible-3.0.0 ships with community-crypto-2.1.0; Ansible-3.1.0 may ship with community-crypto-2.2.0 but would not ship with community-crypto-3.0.0).
