Hi all, We're happy to announce that the ansible-3.2.0 package is now available! This update contains bugfixes and new, backwards compatible features in the contained collections.
If you would like to learn about how and why we got to version 3.0.0, we invite you to visit our blog for the background as well as a Q&A: - https://www.ansible.com/blog/announcing-the-community-ansible-3.0.0-package - https://www.ansible.com/blog/ansible-3.0.0-qa How to get it ------------- Due to a limitation in pip, if you are upgrading from Ansible 2.9 (or earlier), you need to uninstall ansible before installing the 3.x version: ``` $ pip uninstall ansible $ pip install ansible==3.2.0 --user ``` The tar.gz of the release can be found here: * Ansible 3.2.0 https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-3.2.0.tar.gz SHA256: 01774d8b4778844f29920812f0dab7a90c8643e8f826460a941565b2620e5b7d What's new in Ansible 3.2.0 --------------------------- * The Ansible package has moved to semantic versioning (https://semver.org/). This standard allows you to tell if a new version of Ansible contains incompatibilities by looking at the version number. We've moved from 3.1.0 to 3.2.0 to show that this release should be backwards compatible with Ansible-3.1.0 but may contain new features. Read the semver specification for more information. * Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-3 unified changelog will have an entry on this page: * https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/3/CHANGELOG-v3.rst#v3-1-0 * For collections which have not opted into the unified changelog, consult the list of included collections in the link below and check their entry on https://galaxy.ansible.com for information about their changes. * https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/3/ansible-3.2.0.deps * You can find more information for those on https://galaxy.ansible.com/. For instance, the community.crypto collection listed in the ansible-3.2.0.deps file has a galaxy page at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto/ * Changelog for ansible-base-2.10.7 which this release of ansible installs: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.10/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.10.rst What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 3.2.0? --------------------------------------------------------- * Except for ansible-2.9.x, older versions of ansible are not seeing maintenance releases. If there is a desire for maintenance releases of older versions, drop by a Community Working Group Meeting to discuss how you can help. ( https://github.com/ansible/community/tree/main/meetings#wednesdays ) * Minor releases of ansible-3 will be released approximately every three weeks. Since we're now using semantic versioning, these new releases will be 3.1.0, 3.2.0, etc. They will contain bugfixes and new features but no backwards incompatibilities. * Expect 3.2.0 around March 30. * We're currently planning to release Ansible-4.0.0 in the middle of May, roughly a month after Ansible-core-2.11 releases.
