What's new in 2.8.4, 2.7.13, and 2.6.19
---------------------------------------

2.7.13 and 2.6.19 are security releases containing a fix for
CVE-2019-10206. 2.8.4 is a maintenance release containing numerous
bugfixes in addition to a fix for CVE-2019-10206 and CVE-2019-10217
(the latter does not affect 2.7.13 and 2.6.19).

CVEs fixed:
* CVE-2019-10206: Avoid templating passwords from the command prompt
as templating may reveal secret information.
* CVE-2019-10217: Add no_log to credential fields in gcp_* modules so
that these modules do not display credentials on stdout or save them
to log iles.

The full changelogs for these releases are at:

* 2.8.4
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.8/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.8.rst
* 2.7.13

* 2.6.19
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.6/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.6.rst


What's the schedule for future maintenance releases?
----------------------------------------------------

Future maintenance releases of 2.8.4 will occur approximately every 3
weeks. So expect
the next one around 2019-09-05.

2.7.x and 2.6.x are released on an as needed basis for critical and
security bugfixes respectively.
