community.aws VS community.general

community.aws 6.0.0 has been released with some new plugins and features. Several bugfixes, breaking changes and deprecated features are also included. The community.aws collection has dropped support for botocore<1.25.0 and boto3<1.22.0. Support for Python 3.6 has also been dropped (see changelog for details).

The community.aws collection version 5.0.0 has been released. See the changelog for details on new modules and features.

community.aws 3.2.1 has been released. The new parameter purge_tags in ec2_asg module, that was introduced in community.aws 3.2.0 with its default value true, possibly breaks existing playbooks for users if they don't update their playbooks and specify purge_tags: false. However, this release restores the previous behaviour.

community.aws 3.2.0 has been released with some new features and bugfixes (see changelog for details).

community.aws 3.1.0 and 2.3.0 have been released.

Related to that, the ansible "community.aws.aws_ssm" connection plugin[0] always returns the output of "raw:" tasks with "\r" appended to it, too, and I'd guess it's for a similar reason

The AWS community has begun planning for the 4.0.0 releases of amazon.aws and community.aws. Please see the linked issues for more details or to get involved.

community.general 7.0.0 has been released with some new modules, a lot of new features, and a lot of bugfixes. Please make sure to look at least at the sections Breaking Changes and Removed Features in the changelog to figure out whether you need to change something in your roles or playbooks.

community.general 6.5.0 (changelog) has been released with new features, bugfixes, and new plugins. Note that the next minor 6.x.y release will be 6.6.0 on April 24th, and after that the next minor/major release will be 7.0.0 on May 8th. That is one week before May 15th, the feature freeze date for Ansible 8.

community.general 6.2.0 (changelog) has been released. Please note that the Rackspace modules might get deprecated in version 7.0.0 and removed in version 9.0.0, since the Python library they are based on (pyrax) has been deprecated for a long time. If you are interested in maintaining and improving (potentially partially rewriting?) the modules to avoid removal, please look at the GitHub issue discussing this.

community.general 6.0.0 (changelog) has been released! Besides a lot of new features and bugfixes, new modules and plugins, some deprecations and breaking changes, a major change to 5.x.y is that the plugins/modules/ directory tree structure has been removed. Please check out the changelog for more details!

The module docs can be found here. The source can be found here.

We are looking at reducing the maintenance for old stable branches for community.general and community.network collection repositories. We'd welcome your feedback, in particular if you think you may be negatively impacted by the change. Full details of the proposal, and the ability to record your vote can be done via community-topic#55.

community.general 3.8.3 has been released with some bugfixes (changelog).
