Ansible 2.1.2 RC2 is ready for testing

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC2 for 2.1.2 is now available for testing.

This release candidate also adds the following fixes for bugs:

* Fixed a bug in which INI files incorrectly treated a hosts range as a section header (#15331)

* Fixed a bug in which the max_fail_percentage calculation erroneously caused a series of plays to stop executing (#15954)

* Fixed a bug in fetch actions which were not idempotent when the target file was a symlink (#17255)

* Fixed a bug in which the task names were not properly templated (#16295)

* Fixed a bug causing "squashed" loops (ie. yum, apt) to incorrectly report results (ansible-modules-core#4214)

* Fixed several bugs related to includes:

  - when including statically, make sure that all parents were also included statically (issue #16990)

  - properly resolve nested static include paths

  - print a message when a file is statically included

* Fixed a bug in which module params expected to be float types were not converted from integers (only strings) (#17325)

How do you get it?

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git

$ cd ansible

$ git checkout v2.1.2.0-0.2.rc2

$ git submodule update --init

You can then source our testing script:

$ . hacking/env-setup

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be dist/ansible-2.1.2.0.tar.gz):

$ make sdist

If you discover any errors, or if you see any regressions from playbooks which work on 1.9.x and prior, please open a Github issue and be sure to mention you're testing against this release candidate.

Thanks!

Any chance the road map that was promised in the 2.1 release announcement will be made available soon?  We are trying to upgrade our playbooks from 1.9.4 to 2.1.2 and I'd hate to see 2.2 come out soon afterwords and require yet another migration effort.

TIA

Hi John,

Our roadmaps have been posted here since 2.1: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/ROADMAP.rst

Was there something else to which you were referring?

I didn't see that, sorry.   Since it is now September and there isn't any 2.2rc, I assume that schedule has slipped.  I'm going to proceed on the assumption that 2.1.2-final is much more immanent and integrate that at $WORK now.

Thanks

John
