[Bug]: Reuploaded 3.21.0 which should be 3.22.0 ??

[wdoekes]

Ansible NetBox Collection version

v3.21.0

Ansible version

I ran into this bug:
#1426

And when I tried to fix it, I discovered that it was fixed in the currently installed version v3.21.0, except I had to force-install it.

Turns out there are two v3.21.0. See this:

ansible_modules$ git log -1 v3.21.0 
commit 90a506f43fd94e3f782f5b49858fe36ec9bafbca (tag: v3.21.0, origin/master)
Merge: de3ef6c f013f45
Author: Martin Rødvand <martin@rodvand.net>
Date:   Tue Mar 4 23:33:51 2025 +0100

    Merge pull request #1389 from netbox-community/devel
    
    Release 3.21

But also see this:

That's also netbox v3.21.0, updated 5 days ago.

That's not good. At the minimum a bumped version is needed for the new fixes. And maybe even restoration of the old 3.21.0?

Thanks!

NetBox version

v4.3.7

Python version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

ansible-galaxy collection install netbox.netbox=='3.21.0'

and then notice how commits from "the future" (after March 4) are included.

For example:

$ cat ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/netbox/netbox/changelogs/fragments/netbox_circuit_termination.yml
minor_changes:
  - netbox_circuit_termination - Add parameters termination_id and termination_type for NetBox 4.2+

That didn't exist until:

ansible_modules$ git log changelogs/fragments/netbox_circuit_termination.yml
commit cd0b654138d018ae2beab4810e69138d5b5d8142
Author: Nick Thompson <nsthompson@users.noreply.github.com>
Date:   Sun Mar 30 05:54:10 2025 -0500

And that is after the 3.21.0 release date:

$ git log -1 v3.21.0
commit 90a506f43fd94e3f782f5b49858fe36ec9bafbca (tag: v3.21.0, origin/master)
Merge: de3ef6c f013f45
Author: Martin Rødvand <martin@rodvand.net>
Date:   Tue Mar 4 23:33:51 2025 +0100

    Merge pull request #1389 from netbox-community/devel
    
    Release 3.21

Expected Behavior

Never should a published version change. Never.

Observed Behavior

There are two v3.21.0 versions on the internet.

I came a cross a similar issue with tags not supporting object_types.
