Known issues
breakingVersion 24.0.0 dropped Python 3.8 and 3.9 support. Requires Python >=3.10 (now 3.11+ in 26.x).
fix
Upgrade to Python 3.11 or later.
affects: >=24.0.0
breakingThe CLI interface changed from `ansible-dev-tools-cli` to `ansible-dev-tools`. All command line invocations must be updated.
fix
Use `ansible-dev-tools --help` instead of `ansible-dev-tools-cli --help`.
affects: >=24.0.0
gotchaThis is a meta-package; individual tools (like ansible-lint, molecule) must still be installed separately if not included. The meta-package pins compatible versions.
fix
Install ansible-dev-tools to get a compatible set, but do not rely on it for all Ansible dependencies.
affects: all
