Release Summary
---------------

Bugfix release.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix bug in ``--preserve-deps`` option handling (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/602).

=======

Release Summary
---------------

Feature release for improving the automatic release workflow.

Minor Changes
-------------

- The release role now has a ``antsibull_build_reset`` option, which defaults to the value of ``antsibull_data_reset``, that allows to control whether ``.build`` files are reset during alpha and beta-1 releases (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/601).

=======

Release Summary
---------------

Feature release for improving the automatic release workflow.

Minor Changes
-------------

- Add option ``--preserve-deps`` to the ``prepare`` subcommand that allows to preserve the dependencies if a ``.deps`` file for that version already exists. The versions from that ``.deps`` file are validated against the build requirements and constraints, and the remainder of the release preparation process remains unchanged. The release role allows to pass this flag when ``antsibull_preserve_deps=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/599).
- Allow the release role to skip the ``prepare`` step by setting ``antsibull_skip_prepare=true`` if the ``.deps`` file already exists (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/598).
- The ``prepare`` subcommand will no longer overwrite an existing release summary in the ``changelog.yaml`` file (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/597).
- Use feature freeze for all betas from ``b2`` on, and all release candidates in the release role (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/598).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------

- The release role no longer automatically skips the ``prepare`` step when the ``.deps`` file already exists. If you need this behavior, set ``antsibull_skip_prepare=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/598).

Minor Changes

- Add new ``antsibull-build announcements`` command to generate release announcement text (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/573).
- Add new ``antsibull-build send-announcements`` command to interactively send release announcements. Make sure to install ``pyperclip`` with ``pip install antsibull[clipboard]`` to fully take advantage of its functionality (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/573).
- Add support for the latest antsibull-core v3 pre-release, ``3.0.0a1`` (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/586).

- Change the license from ``GPL-3.0-or-later`` to ``GPL-3.0-or-later AND Python-2.0.1``. Antsibull now contains a small amount of code derived from CPython (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/556).
