v0.42.0

Release Summary

Major feature release preparing for Ansible 6. Also adds support for the new collection links file, and improves the attributes tables.

Major Changes

Allow collections to specify extra links (ansible-community#355).
Building Ansible 6+ now builds wheels next to the source tarball (ansible-community#394).
From Ansible 6 on, improve setup.py to exclude unnecessary files in the Python distribution (ansible-community#342).
Remove Ansible 2.9 / ansible-base 2.10 checks from setup.py for Ansible 6 so that we can finally ship wheels. This change is only active for Ansible 6 (ansible-community#394).

Minor Changes

Add a new docs parsing backend ansible-core-2.13, which supports ansible-core 2.13+ (ansible-community#401).
Add an autodetection auto for the docs parsing backend to select the fastest supported backend. This is the new default (ansible-community#401).
Add option --no-semantic-versioning to antsibull-lint changelog-yaml command (ansible-community#405).
Change more references to ansible-base to ansible-core in the code (ansible-community#398).
If the role is used to build a non-alpha or first beta version and the bulid file does not exist, it is created instead of later failing because it does not exist (ansible-community#408).
Mention the ansible-core major version in the Ansible porting guide (ansible-community#397).
Redo attributes table using the same structure as the options and return value table. This improves its look and adds a linking mechanism (ansible-community#401).

Bugfixes

Fix ansible-core version parsing for ansible-doc docs parsing backend (ansible-community#401).
Fix filename of mentioned ansible-core porting guide in Ansible's porting guide introductionary comment (ansible-community#398).
antsibull-docs will no longer traceback when it tries to process plugins not found in its own constant but are available in ansible-core (ansible-community#404).

v0.41.0

Release Summary

Feature and bugfix release.

Minor Changes

Add --fail-on-error to all antsibull-docs subcommands for usage in CI (ansible-community#393).
Allow to select a different Sphinx theme for antsibull-docs sphinx-init with the new --sphinx-theme option (ansible-community#392).
Fully implement antsibull-docs collection. So far --current was required (ansible-community#383).
Mention the plugin type more prominently in the documentation (ansible-community#364).
Remove email addresses and (!UNKNOWN) from plugin and role author names (ansible-community#389).
Support new keyword field in plugin documentations (ansible-community#329).
The conf.py generated by antsibull-docs sphinx-init will be set to try resolving intersphinx references to Ansible's devel docs instead of a concrete Ansible version (ansible-community#391).

Bugfixes

If plugin parsing fails for antsibull-docs plugin, handle this more gracefully (ansible-community#393).
Improve error message when plugin specified for antsibull-docs plugin cannot be found (ansible-community#383).
When using --use-html-blobs, malformed HTML was generated for parameter aliases (ansible-community#388).

v0.40.2

Release Summary

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes

Fix rsync call when antsibull-docs sphinx-init is used with --squash-hieararchy (ansible-community#382).
Fix invalid HTML in return value RST tables. Closing </div> were missing for a wrapping <div> of every content cell, causing problems with some text-based browsers (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/issues/386, ansible-community#387).
Work around Python argparse bug by using vendored class for all Python versions until the bug is fixed in argparse. This makes --help work for all antsibull-docs subcommands (ansible-community#384).

v0.40.1

Release Summary

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes

Fix bug in collection enum for docs generation, which caused role FQCNs to be mangled (ansible-community#379).

v0.40.0

Release Summary

Feature and bugfix release.

Major Changes

Responsive parameter and return value tables. Also use RST tables instead of HTML blobs (ansible-community#335).

Minor Changes

Add a changelog (ansible-community#378).
Allow to specify collection_cache in config file (ansible-community#375).
Allow to still use HTML blobs for parameter and return value tables. This can be controlled by a CLI option --use-html-blobs and by a global config option use_html_blobs (ansible-community#360).
Avoid prereleases when creating the .build file in antsibull-build new-acd. The old behavior of including them can be obtained by passing the --allow-prereleases option (ansible-community#298).
Change ansible-base references in documentation and code to ansible-core where it makes sense (ansible-community#353).
During docs build, only write/copy files to the destination that have changed assuming they are not too large (ansible-community#374).
Improve build-ansible.sh script integrated in the release tarball (ansible-community#369).
Improve galaxy-requirements.yaml generation (ansible-community#350).
Mention new options in the porting guide (ansible-community#363).
Modify thread_max default value from 80 to 8 (ansible-community#365, ansible-community#370).
Move modules to beginning of plugin index (ansible-community#336).
Remove unnecessary Python 2 boilerplates (ansible-community#371).
Simplify ansible-core dependency in setup.py with compatibility operator (ansible-community#346).
Split antsibull-build single subcommand into prepare and rebuild-single subcommand (ansible-community#341).
Stop using deprecated Python standard library distutils.version (ansible-community#372).
Various improvements to the build role (ansible-community#338).

Deprecated Features

The antsibull-build single subcommand is deprecated. Use the prepare and rebuild-single subcommands instead (ansible-community#341).

Bugfixes

Fix rsync flags in build scripts generated by antsibull-docs sphinx-init to allow Sphinx to not rebuild unchanged files (ansible-community#357).
Fix boolean logic error when --skip-indexes was used in antsibull-docs (ansible-community#377).
Fix feature freeze handling after Beta 1 in build role (ansible-community#337).
Require Python 3.8 for Ansible 5 (ansible-community#345).
