## 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) contributed

> antsibull-docs 1.10.0 ([changelog](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst#v1-10-0)) has been released. The main new feature is support for semantic markup!

### DevTools [↗](https://github.com/ansible/vscode-ansible) ⛏️

Projects to make it easier to write and test Ansible Content. Includes [VScode extension](https://github.com/ansible/vscode-ansible), [language server](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-language-server), [ansible-lint](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-lint), [molecule](https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule), [ansible-navigator](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-navigator) and potentially other development goodies. To see what's planned, and how you can help checkout the [foundation-devtools project board](https://github.com/orgs/ansible/projects/86/views/4)

[shatakshiiii](https://matrix.to/#/@shatakshiiii:matrix.org) contributed

> Ansible-Devtools team made a new release of Ansible-Lint [version 6.14.2](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/releases/tag/v6.14.2) with couple of exciting bugfixes.
> 
> * Key fixes include implementation of `galaxy[no-runtime]` that checks and validates meta/runtime.yml for collections. As Ansible now requires collections to have a meta/runtime.yml file, through this fix ansible-lint is validating that this file exists when it detects it is running in a collection.
> * Other bugfixes include, ignore `risky-shell-pipe` with pwsh, fixes in `jinja[invalid]` rule and more.

## PROJECT UPDATES 🛠️

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

> Ansible-Devtools Updates:
> 
> The team is planning to drop support for **Python 3.8** in the next major release of _**Ansible-Navigator**_. [Let us know](https://matrix.to/#/#devtools:ansible.com) if you have any concerns or thoughts on that!
> 
> We have already dropped Python 3.8 support from other devtools projects like Ansible Lint and Molecule prior to this.

## COLLECTION UPDATES 🪄

[Simon Dodsley](https://matrix.to/#/@sdodsley:matrix.org) shared

> purestorage.fusion 1.4.0 ([changelog](https://github.com/Pure-Storage-Ansible/Fusion-Collection/releases/tag/1.4.0)) has been released with significant updates, bugfixes and changes.

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

> community.hrobot 1.8.0 ([changelog](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst#v1-8-0)) has been released with updates for the firewall module. Hetzner updated their dedicated firewall API in a way that the module from previous versions will disallow any outgoing traffic by default. You need to use the version of the module from this version with an `output` rule to avoid that.
