## AI overview

netlab Release 26.01 rewrites device configuration file generation, removes its use of Ansible Jinja2 functionality, and supports Ansible releases 12 and 13 for configuration deployment. It also adds EVPN for VXLAN-over-IPv6, the skip_config node attribute, a lightweight API HTTP server, and rudimentary Citrix Netscaler support.

## Source excerpt

I completely rewrote netlab's device configuration file generation during the New Year break. netlab Release 26.01 no longer uses Ansible Jinja2 functionality and works with Ansible releases 12/13, which are used solely for configuration deployment.
