Release Summary

Major feature release preparing for Ansible 6. Also adds support for the new collection links file, and improves the attributes tables.

Major Changes

• Allow collections to specify extra links (#355).
• Building Ansible 6+ now builds wheels next to the source tarball (#394).
• From Ansible 6 on, improve setup.py to exclude unnecessary files in the Python distribution (#342).
• Remove Ansible 2.9 / ansible-base 2.10 checks from setup.py for Ansible 6 so that we can finally ship wheels. This change is only active for Ansible 6 (#394).

Minor Changes

• Add a new docs parsing backend ansible-core-2.13, which supports ansible-core 2.13+ (#401).
• Add an autodetection auto for the docs parsing backend to select the fastest supported backend. This is the new default (#401).
• Add option --no-semantic-versioning to antsibull-lint changelog-yaml command (#405).
• Change more references to ansible-base to ansible-core in the code (#398).
• If the role is used to build a non-alpha or first beta version and the bulid file does not exist, it is created instead of later failing because it does not exist (#408).
• Mention the ansible-core major version in the Ansible porting guide (#397).
• Redo attributes table using the same structure as the options and return value table. This improves its look and adds a linking mechanism (#401).

Bugfixes

• Fix ansible-core version parsing for ansible-doc docs parsing backend (#401).
• Fix filename of mentioned ansible-core porting guide in Ansible's porting guide introductionary comment (#398).
• antsibull-docs will no longer traceback when it tries to process plugins not found in its own constant but are available in ansible-core (#404).
