Ansible 2.0.2 RC4 is available for testing

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, we have released Ansible 2.0.2 RC4 to address a few more last minute bugs:

* A very rare yet nagging issue (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/15342), which appears to be related to a bug in certain versions of sshd itself. The fix for this minimizes the potential situations in which this bug occurs, though we may look at fixing this further in 2.1.0.

* A bug in the free strategy where it was incorrectly waiting for all pending results to come in, thus effectively making it behave like the linear strategy.

* A bug in win_user.

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 v2.0.2.0-0.4.rc4

$ 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-2.0.2.0.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!
