Ansible 2.1.0 RC4 is ready for testing

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC4 for 2.1.0 is now available for testing.

This updated release candidate fixes two more bugs (one very long standing and one a result of a change in this release):

* Fixes a bug where the item squashing code (which is used by many package modules) was incorrectly

  squashing the list of package names.

* Adds an additional mitigation for the intermittent ssh issue where a heavily loaded system

  might return no data (this is a bug between sshd and the kernel, but this mitigation makes it

  much less likely to occur).

How do you get it?

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

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

http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.1.0.0-0.4.rc4.tar.gz

SHA256: 09e52279748dc2a4b6b67d8343a65afb911df63b7d4af91dacdf0b607ba276a2

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

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

$ cd ansible

$ git checkout v2.1.0.0-0.4.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-2.1.0.0.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!

Just an update for the mailing list -- we finished reviewing and merging this too late for 2.1.0  but it is now merged into the stable-2.1 branch for inclusion into 2.1.1.

Hi,

It would be nice if this issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/2144 could be resolved before 2.1.0 gets released. 

There is already a pull request with the fix: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/2149

Otherwise the pkgutil-module would be unusable.

Thanks!
