ansible-build-data VS community.postgresql

IBM -> RedHat -> Ansible (https://docs.ansible.com/platform.html)

I think the new ansible docs are opaque, and the new "everything is an ansible collection" scheme makes troubleshooting any issues reported by users hundreds of times harder than "the old days"

I keep this (https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob...) bookmarked because it's the only way to match up what "ansible 8.1.0" (https://pypi.org/project/ansible/8.1.0/) even means since it for damn sure not any of this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/releases (they used to have a 'release' pinned on that releases tab saying "these are not the droids you are looking for"). I believe I tried asking for them to update the completely erroneous pypi "source code" link to point to that repo and ... well, one can see how well that turned out

The vmware.vmware_rest collection has been included in Ansible 5. Thanks to everyone involved!

As https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/issues/114 showed we should really check the existing collections included in the Ansible package. Some ideas:

Ansible 5.7.0 has been released with updates to 19 of the included Ansible collections! Read the announcement or check out the update changelog to learn more about this new version.

Debian package "ansible" -> called "ansible" on PyPI -> is called "ansible collections" through most of the documentation -> upstream PyPI packages are generated through https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data

The community.postgresql collection released a new version: 3.2.0.

We are happy to announce that the community.mysql collection has found a new maintainer: Felix Hamme (betanummeric on GitHub/Matrix)! He's also already a maintainer of the community.postgresql collection and has a great history of contributions in both. Thanks, Felix, and welcome to the crew!:)

The community.postgresql collection has released two new version: 1.7.9 and 2.4.1. They revert the breaking change accidentally introduced in the previous version (which was intended for a later major release).

The community.postgresql collection version 2.3.1 has been released (changelog). Thanks to vonschultz and hunleyd!

The community.postgresql team has released 1.7.6 as a bugfix release.

We are also happy to announce a new maintainer of the community.postgresql collection - Felix Hamme (betanummeric on GitHub)! Our congratulations, Felix, and thank you for your great contribution in many collections and desire to help!

The community.postgresql maintainers need your feedback! A proposal for formalizing the supported PG versions has been filed here and needs your input. If adopted, the collection will issue major releases yearly and each major release will officially support the five major version of PG supported at that time. We think this will ultimately improve the collection and improve the end user's experience but we need your input. We look forward to hearing from everyone!

Recently, we opened https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/276 to discuss formalizing the supported PostgreSQL versions in the community.postgresql collection. This is a big change for the collection and we want to ensure the proposal makes sense for the collection's users. If you use the collection, please review the proposal and add your thumbs up/down, comment, etc. Thanks!

The community.postgresql collection has released 1.7.3 and 2.1.4 to fully deprecate Ansible 2.9/2.10. Thanks to our newest contributor jchancojr and everyone else involved!
