Release Summary

Feature release for improving the automatic release workflow.

0.62.0

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 (#599).
• Allow the release role to skip the prepare step by setting antsibull_skip_prepare=true if the .deps file already exists (#598).
• The prepare subcommand will no longer overwrite an existing release summary in the changelog.yaml file (#597).
• Use feature freeze for all betas from b2 on, and all release candidates in the release role (#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 (#598).
