Ansible 2.2.1 RC2 is ready for testing

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, we're very happy to announce that Ansible 2.2.1 RC2 is ready for testing!

Some bug fix highlights:

* Fixed a bug in the path searching/resolution for jinja2 includes in template files.

* Fixed a bug where include_role resulted in tasks which were not properly inheriting variables from a parent role.

* Fixed a bug related to using scp instead of sftp when using the ssh connection plugin.

* Fixed a bug related to setfacl on Solaris and other OS versions which use strict POSIX ACLs.

* Fixed a bug in the AnsiBallz (zip) support for modules where the system clock on the remote system was incorrect (and pre-1980).

* Fix for bugs in the mount module.

* Fixed a bug in the "atomic_move" which could result in a traceback.

* Fix for a bug in the way conditionals evaluate "is defined" and "is undefined" and other logical variants.

* Fix for a bug related to the way iterating over HostVars works.

* Some fixes for unicode issues in paths and other places.

How do you get it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

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

http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.2.1.0-0.2.rc2.tar.gz

SHA256: 8421839958ab9b8f0f9ddcce02ed4bc680be89ae6d9a8b3059bdd99577b873c0

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

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

$ cd ansible

$ git checkout v2.2.1.0-0.2.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-2.2.1.0.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!

Glad to see a new RC of 2.2
It will be nice if this fix get in to 2.2 branch also, it's a bad regression for us to have no log of what ansible changed on the remote server, the fix https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/18570

We would like to have the RPM version from EPEL on our servers, so I'd love to have the 2.2.1 published soon to have this regression and the regression for mount module for CentOS/RHEL 5.x in.
When do you publish the 2.2.1 version ?
Thanks
