News for Maintainers

Announcements of changes impacting Ansible collection contributors and maintainers.

Current open issues and related discussions.

This repository is created in accordance with the Community decision as a replacement for Issue 45 to track changes that Ansible collection maintainers should be aware of.

If you are a collection maintainer, please subscribe to this repository using the Watch button in the upper right corner of the GitHub web interface. If you do not want to get notifications about related discussions, subscribe to issues only.

The news are made via issues - one per announcement. Issues must not be used for anything else than announcements.

• If you reference an issue in this repository in a PR, avoid writing Fixes, Closes, Resolves, or any other closing keywords before it so that the issue is not closed when the PR is merged.
