Hello everyone, We're happy to announce that the Ansible 7.3.0 package has been released!
Ansible 7.3.0 will include ansible-core 2.14 as well as a curated set of Ansible collections to provide a vast number of modules and plugins. How to get it ------------- This pre-release is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip: ``` $ python3 -m pip install ansible==7.3.0 --user ``` The sources for this release can be found here: Release tarball: https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-7.3.0.tar.gz SHA256: 56c2fd97487b2cc83e39e895d8dfad8b2a5df34d490394a15735ebcfdc45f5be Wheel package: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/py3/a/ansible/ansible-7.3.0-py3-none-any.whl SHA256: 5039bf0fe4cbb9dcc3dbefe464fe2fa7fe75d8548814f00c478d5fe90c3e3979 What's new in Ansible 7 --------------------------- * New command-line utility “ansible-community” is added in Ansible 7 to check the installed version of Ansible Community package. ``` $ ansible-community --version Ansible community version 7.3.0 ``` * Python wheels are now available for both Ansible 7 and ansible-core 2.14.x, resulting in significantly improved installation performance. * In addition, Ansible 7 will no longer install some unnecessary files from the included Ansible collections such as tests or hidden files & directories in order to further improve installation performance and reduce the size on disk. These files are still available in the source tarball if necessary. * The changelog for ansible-core 2.14 installed by this release of ansible is available here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.14/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.14.rst * Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-7 unified changelog will have an entry on this page: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/6/CHANGELOG-v6.rst * For collections which have not opted into the unified changelog, you may find more information on https://galaxy.ansible.com or their source repository. For example, the community.crypto collection would be found at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto and you can find a link to the source repository under the "Repo" button at the top right.

An ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from Ansible 6 has been made available for this use case: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/6/galaxy-requirements.yaml Once the requirements file has been downloaded, the collections can be installed by running: "ansible-galaxy collection install -r galaxy-requirements.yaml" On behalf of the Ansible community, thank you and happy automating!
