Ansible 2.4.0 RC1 is ready for testing

[Toshio Kuratomi]

Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC1 for 2.4.1 is now available for testing.

How do you get it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The tar.gz of the release can be found here:

https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.4.1.0-0.3.rc1.tar.gz
SHA256: d965ede554a9863d005346743a03ab09b45d8685a62e8c918ac67bd834381593

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
$ cd ansible
$ git checkout v2.4.1.0-0.3.rc1

You can then source our testing script:

$ . hacking/env-setup

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be dist/ansible-2.4.1.0.tar.gz):

$ make sdist

If you discover any errors, or if you see any regressions from
playbooks which work on 2.4.0 and prior, please open a Github issue
and be sure to mention you're testing against this release candidate.

If no blocker bugs are discovered in this release candidate, 2.4.1
final will be out next week.

Thanks!

And of course, I made a mistake when sending the announcement.  The Subject line should read 2.4.1 RC1, not 2.4.0 RC1.

Just a note to anyone following along at home. There was a new
upstream cryptography which broke the integration tests and we got
access to some new hardware for our continuous integration tests.
I've merged these into the stable-2.4 branch and they will be in 2.4.1
final. As both of these changes only affect running our test
infrastructure, not the code used at runtime by end users, I'm not
anticipating pushing an rc2 for these changes.

I'l update the list if any blocking bugs are found which will require an rc2.
