Hi all- we're happy to announce that the first release candidate of Ansible 2.9, Ansible-2.9.0rc1 rc1 is now available!
How do you get it? ------------------ $ pip install ansible==2.9.0rc1 --user The tar.gz of the release can be found here: * 2.9.0rc1 https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.9.0rc1.tar.gz SHA256: a24bac21f1cc15130b74851a1d3b5128c48d235d940ead25997c85337965e703 What's new in 2.9.0rc1 ---------------------- This release is a maintenance release containing numerous bugfixes. The full changelog is at: * 2.9.0rc1 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.9/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.9.rst What's the schedule for the rest of 2.9.0? ---------------------------------------------------- Please see the ROADMAP for the schedule of future 2.9.0 releases leading up to 2.9.0 final: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/ROADMAP_2_9.html The 2.9.0rc1 release cycle was a little messy with some bugfixes that were a little closer to features than normal making their way in. Despite that, we think that this is a solid release candidate and we currently don't see any blockers for the 2.9.0 release. Please test out this release candidate, report any problems that you encounter, and draw our attention to any that you'd like us to consider as blockers for the 2.9.0 final release. The more time we have to look at a potential blocker, the more likely we'll consider it a blocker for release rather than something that we will fix in 2.9.1 instead. Porting Help ------------ We've published a porting guide at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.9.html to help migrate your content to 2.9. If you discover any errors or if any of your working playbooks break when you upgrade to 2.9.0rc1, please use the following link to report the regression: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/new/choose In your issue, be sure to mention the Ansible version that works and the one that doesn't.
