Collections that have opted to join the Ansible 9 unified changelog will

What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 9.2.0?
---------------------------------------------------------
The next release roadmap can be found at
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/ansible_roadmap_index.html
From now on, the Ansible community package release schedule will follow
the Ansible Core release schedule, including (for example) delays for
holidays. This means Ansible releases happen every four weeks through
most of the year, but release dates may be delayed when Ansible Core
release is.

Getting collection updates from Ansible 9 with older releases of
ansible-core
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ansible 9 includes ansible-core 2.16. Depending on your needs, you can
get collection updates as they ship in the Ansible "batteries included"
package while continuing to use older versions of ansible-core.
An ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from
Ansible 9 has been made available for this use case:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/9.2.0/9/galaxy-requirements.yaml
After you download the requirements file, the collections can be
installed by running this command:
```
ansible-galaxy collection install -r galaxy-requirements.yaml
```
On behalf of the Ansible community, thank you and happy automating!
Cheers,
Ansible Release Management Working Group
