Hi all, We're happy to announce that the ansible-2.10.7 package is now available! This update contains bugfixes and new, backwards compatible features in the contained collections.
Ansible-2.10.x is a big change in how the Ansible package is built so if you missed out on all the changes that have gone into the ansible-2.10.x packages, please read the announcement for ansible-2.10.0: https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-announce/c/QxIOml3i62A 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 2.10 version: ``` $ pip uninstall ansible $ pip install ansible==2.10.6 --user ``` The tar.gz of the release can be found here: * Ansible 2.10.6 https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-2.10.7.tar.gz SHA256: 9ff024500116d53c460cb09ea92e3c9404119f100d1d1ff0de69a9dafca561d5 What's new in Ansible 2.10.7 ---------------------------- We had planned on Ansible-2.10.6 being the last release in the ansible-2.10.x series but decided that one more release was appropriate to fix a few important issues. * The community.docker, community.general, and community.network collections had multiple modules updated to specify that the parameters should not be logged as they could contain secret information. Collectively, these problems are listed in the Common Vulnerabilities database as CVE-2021-20191. * The community.general.utm_proxy_auth_profile module has had the frontend_cookie_secret return value replaced with a placeholder value as known secret values should not be returned from modules. * The community.okd collection was downgraded from version 1.0.1 to version 1.0.0. This was done because 1.0.1 depends on kubernetes.core which was not shipped in ansible-2.10.x. community.okd-1.0.0 is the same code but with a dependency on community.kubernetes (which is included in ansible-2.10.7) instead. The intention for Ansible-3.x is to include both kubernetes.core and newer versions of community.okd. * Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-2.10.7 unified changelog will have an entry on this page: * https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/2.10/CHANGELOG-v2.10.rst#v2-10-7 * 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/2.10/ansible-2.10.7.deps * You can find more information for those on https://galaxy.ansible.com/. For instance, the community.crypto collection listed in the ansible-2.10.6.deps file has a galaxy page at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto/ * Changelog for ansible-base-2.10.5 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 2.10.7? ---------------------------------------------------------- * We expect Ansible-2.10.7 to be the last 2.10.x release. Ansible-3.0.0rc1 is due out later today. If no blockers are found, Ansible-3.0.0 final will be released next week. If there is a desire for further maintenance releases of the 2.10.x version, drop by a Community Working Group Meeting to discuss how you can help. ( https://github.com/ansible/community/tree/main/meetings#wednesdays ) * The next major release of Ansible (3.0.0) is scheduled for February 16, 2021. This release will still be based on ansible-base-2.10 but will contain potential incompatible changes to the included collections. * We are adopting semantic versioning in that version, so it will be Ansible-3.0.0 rather than Ansible-2.11.0. * Patch releases will continue to be released approximately every three weeks with bugfixes and new features as long as those features do not cause incompatibilities.
