Hi all- we're happy to announce that the general release of ansible-core 2.11.0 is now available!
-------------------------- Some information about ansible-core 2.11: ansible-core 2.11 is a rename of ansible-base. As with ansible-base, it includes only a minimal, vetted set of modules and plugins, and is extensible through the use of Ansible Collections. This release of ansible-core includes some new features and changes that we'd like to highlight below. This list is not exhaustive: - As of this release, Python 3.8 is now a *soft requirement* on the controller. (This release will continue to work with the same versions of Python as ansible-base 2.10, but ansible-core 2.12 will NOT) - Role arguments can now be validated at runtime to ensure that roles are used correctly - ansible-galaxy now makes use of "resolvelib" for resolving dependencies - New virtualization facts are now included (as lists), so that administrators can see all virtual guest and host technologies available to the node - Playbooks can now be run from collections - For module authors, module_utils imports are now treated as optional if in any nested block (such as 'try' or 'if') allowing for implementation of fallback behavior for module_utils that do not exist in older versions of Ansible. Solaris users: NOTE: There is a known bug in ansible-core 2.11.0 which affects Solaris (and Solaris-derived) managed nodes, when connecting as an unprivileged user and becoming a different unprivileged user. This bug results in several fallback behaviors not executing. In particular, ALLOW_WORLD_READABLE_TMPFILES and the shell option "common_remote_group" have no effect and these fallback methods are not run. This will be fixed in 2.11.1. -------------------------- How to get it ------------- $ pip install ansible-core==2.11.0 --user The tar.gz of the release can be found here: * ansible-core 2.11.0 https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible-core/ansible-core-2.11.0.tar.gz SHA256: 9470ceb710711eacd75f1bcae802af036ab2a6c2cd5a13bfcb50b2d89667c9c5 What's new in ansible-core 2.11.0 --------------------------------- This release is a maintenance release containing numerous bugfixes.
