Hi all, We're happy to announce that the ansible-4.10.0 package has been released to PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/ansible/4.10.0/
This new version contains bug fixes as well as new, backwards compatible features in the Ansible collections that are included in the package. This is the last expected release for Ansible 4.x, read on for more information. How to get it ------------- Due to a limitation in pip, if you are upgrading from Ansible 3 (or earlier), you need to uninstall Ansible and Ansible Base before installing Ansible 4: ``` $ pip uninstall ansible ansible-base $ pip install ansible==4.10.0 --user ``` The tar.gz of the release can be found here: * Ansible 4.10.0: https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-4.10.0.tar.gz * SHA256: 88af9479e81a3931bb3a1b8c4eeb252cd4f38c03daafd6a5aa120d6b0d70d45c What's new in Ansible 4.10.0 --------------------------- * Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-4 unified changelog will have an entry on this page: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/4/CHANGELOG-v4.rst#v4-10-0 * For collections which have not opted into the unified changelog, you may find more information on https://galaxy.ansible.com or their source repository. For example, the community.crypto collection would be found at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto and you can find a link to the source repository under the "Repo" button at the top right. * The changelog for ansible-core 2.11.7 installed by this release of ansible is available here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.11/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.11.rst Porting Help ------------ A unified porting guide for collections that have opted-in is available in the documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_4.html What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 4.10.0? --------------------------------------------------------- * 4.10.0 is the last expected maintenance release for Ansible 4.x which includes ansible-core 2.11.x. * Maintenance releases of ansible 5.x which includes ansible-core 2.12.x will occur roughly every three weeks until the release of ansible 6.0.0. Getting collection updates from Ansible 5 with ansible-core 2.11.x ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ansible 5 includes ansible-core 2.12.x which has raised the minimum python requirement to python>=3.8 and users have expressed an interest in getting collection updates as they ship in Ansible 5 while keeping ansible-core 2.11.x which still supports python>=2.7. An ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from Ansible 5 has been made available for this use case: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/5/galaxy-requirements.yaml Once the requirements file has been downloaded, the collections can be installed by running "ansible-galaxy collection install -r galaxy-requirements.yaml".
