Ansible 1.9.3 rc1 is now available for testing

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, we've just tagged the rc1 release for 1.9.3. This includes many TLS and SNI fixes, as well as several docker fixes and improvements to Vault (256-bit AES keys instead of 128).

To test from source, simply clone the git repository (if you haven't already) and do the following:

$ git checkout v1.9.3-0.1.rc1

$ git submodule update

$ . hacking/env-setup

After which time you can run ansible and ansible-playbook like normal. If you're not familiar with the hacking/env-setup script, please refer to the documentation here: 

http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html#running-from-source

To make a tar ball, RPM or DEB with which to test, do the following:

$ git checkout v1.9.3-0.1.rc1

$ git submodule update

# for a .tar.gz (output is dist/ansible-1.9.3.tar.gz)

$ make sdist

# for RPMs

$ OFFICIAL=yes make rpm

# for DEBs

$ OFFICIAL=yes make deb

If you discover any errors related to this release candidate, please open a Github issue and be sure to mention which version you're testing. We will be looking to evaluate the status of this release candidate one week from today.

Thanks!
