Understanding the multiple documentation releases for Ansile

Sandra McCann edited this page Oct 19, 2022 · 2 revisions

Ansible has three doc sets it tracks:

They release in the order listed above. When ansible-core and Ansible release, there is an older version that goes End-of-life, and we need to also take steps to EOL the docs for that release.

Release cadence - Ansible package

The Ansible package release depends on the ansible-core release and tends to publish 3-4 weeks after the core releases. For major releases, we:

  • Track the checklist steps listed above.

For minor releases, we:

  • Merge the autogenerated porting guide PR created by the release team and republish devel docs with the appropriate Jenkins job (internal to Red Hat at this point).
  • Backport that PR to the stable release branch and republish the latest job.

Mapping core to Ansible releases

After Ansible 4, we tracked one Ansible release per core release. The release numbers are as follows:

ansible-core Ansible
stable-2.11 4
stable-2.12 5
stable-2.13 6
stable-2.14 7
