## GENERAL NEWS UPDATES 🔈️

[cybette](https://matrix.to/#/@cybette:ansible.im) said

> The [live video stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mili3ax3V4o) from **Ansible Contributor Summit 2022.04** is available for playback! Thanks to [ziegenberg](https://matrix.to/#/@ziegenberg:matrix.org), we now have timestamps for the individual sessions as chapters in the video, so you can go directly to the presentations you're interested in, or might have missed. We will be sharing the rest of the info (talk details, slides, etc.) as well as the Contributor Survey next week. Thanks again to everyone for your participation and making it an amazing experience for all!

### Ansible [↗](https://github.com/ansible-collections) 📦️

The `Ansible` package includes `ansible-core` and is a batteries-included package that provides a curated set of Ansible collections. See the [Ansible roadmaps](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/ansible_roadmap_index.html) for future release plans.

[dmsimard](https://matrix.to/#/@dmsimard:matrix.org) shared

> Ansible 6.0.0 alpha1 (including [ansible-core 2.13.0b0](https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-devel/c/QTRq_6btIKE)) is now available for testing: https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-announce/c/qWfZJ8FoeCI. It includes the newest major releases of included Ansible collections and ships python wheels resulting in significantly improved installation performance. Please give it a try and let us know if you encounter any issues!

## MAJOR NEW RELEASES 🏆️

### Antsibull [↗](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull) 🐂

Tooling for building the `Ansible` package and collection documentation.

[felixfontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:libera.chat) said

> [antsibull 0.44.0 (changelog)](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst#v0-44-0) has been released. Note that upgrading from < 0.44.0 to >= 0.44.0 is complicated by the fact that the package has been split up into three packages: antsibull-core, antsibull-docs, and antsibull. The way `pip` works will probably remove the `antsibull-docs` CLI command since it moved to the dependent package `antsibull-docs`. To work around this, either first uninstall `antsibull` before installing 0.44.0, or re-install `antsibull-docs` afterwards.

[felixfontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:libera.chat) contributed

> If you are using the `antsibull-docs` or `antsibull-lint collection-docs` CLI command from the `antsibull` package, consider switching to using the new [antsibull-docs 1.0.0 package](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/) instead! It is more stable and comes with less potential baggage to carry around.

## COLLECTION UPDATES 🪄

[hunleyd](https://matrix.to/#/@hunleyd:matrix.org) shared
