Some important details
----------------------
ansible-core is a separate package on which ansible depends. `pip
install ansible` installs `ansible-core`, but it can also be installed
independently of the ansible package.
Collections that have opted to join the Ansible 9 unified changelog will
have an entry on this page:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/9.3.0/9/CHANGELOG-v9.md
For collections which have not opted-in to the unified changelog, you
may find more information on
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections
or on the collection source repository. For example, the
community.crypto collection is available at
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/crypto/index.html
and you can find a link to the source repository under the “Repository
(Sources)” button.
The changelog for ansible-core 2.16 installed by this release of Ansible
9 can be found here:

What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 9.3.0?
---------------------------------------------------------
The next release roadmap can be found at
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/ansible_roadmap_index.html
The Ansible community package release schedule follows 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 releases are.

Getting collection updates from Ansible 9 with older releases of
ansible-core
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ansible 9 depends on 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.
See the ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from
Ansible 9 for this use case:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/9.3.0/9/galaxy-requirements.yaml
After you download the requirements file, you can install the
collections by running the following command:
```console
ansible-galaxy collection install -r galaxy-requirements.yaml
```
On behalf of the Ansible community, thank you and happy automating!
Cheers,
