Major new releases 
Ansible-Core 
The ansible-core package contains the base engine and a small subset of modules and plugins. To see what’s planned for the next release, look at the ansible-core roadmaps.
core-2.19
nitzmahone contributed
Due to the valuable feedback we continue to receive from our users, the Ansible Core team is extending the 2.19 beta period through June 30. We’ve been learning about less-common use cases that weren’t fully considered in our initial designs and testing, and want to take the time necessary to address them properly. We’re incredibly grateful to our community, and encourage even broader engagement with testing existing content against 2.19 pre-releases.
With the extended beta period, the 2.19.0 release is now scheduled for July 21. Thanks for your patience while we try to ship the best possible 2.19 we can!

We’re also planning an Ansible meetup at DevConf.CZ. You can reply to our meetup event in the forum with questions and proposals for agenda items. We’d love to hear from you and get your thoughts on what you’d like to hear at the meetup.
DevConf is a free event but requires registration. So head over to the DevConf.CZ 2025 calendar event to find out details and let us know if you’re planning to attend.
