Ansible 2.5.0 Release Candidate 1 is available

[matt...@redhat.com]

Hi all- we're happy to announce that Release Candidate 1 of Ansible 2.5.0 is now available! 

How do you get it?

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

All Ansible pre-releases in the 2.5 series will be published to PyPI. This is probably the easiest way for most users to install:

$ pip install ansible==2.5.0rc1 --user

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

http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.5.0rc1.tar.gz

SHA256: 936e4f4619e243182462973a6a091f14d5032e081ad13f4251b96e59761fca7f

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

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

$ cd ansible

$ git checkout v2.5.0rc1

You can then source our testing script:

$ . hacking/env-setup

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be dist/ansible-2.5.0rc1.tar.gz):

$ make sdist

Weekly pre-release builds are planned through release; all will be available via PyPI, releases.ansible.com, and GitHub.

Planned Release Schedule

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

Release Candidate 2 (if necessary): not before March 1, 2018

(further release candidates as necessary)

Final Release: mid-March, 2018

Finally, we've published a draft porting guide at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html to help migrate your content to 2.5. If you discover any errors, or if you see any regressions from playbooks which work on 2.4.x and prior, please open a Github issue, and be sure to mention you're testing against 2.5.0rc1.

Thanks!

Thanks Matt!

In the change log:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md#2.5

there is a link to "Network Best Practices for Ansible 2.5" which fails or maybe is just not ready yet.

Text: in Changelog:

While neither is technically a new plugin, these connections may now be used directly with network modules. See Network Best Practices for Ansible 2.5 for more details.

URL that fails:

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/network_best_practices_2.5.html

Not Found

The requested URL /ansible/devel/networking_guide/network_best_practices_2.5.html was not found on this server.

It seems to me that tags are not working as expected:
The tagged tasks are not executed.

Ciao, Michael.

We are in the process of performing some docs restructuring, and the redirects are not yet in place.  That document can be found at http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/network/user_guide/network_best_practices_2.5.html

Tag support in 2.5.0 is passing all the integration tests, so I'd be surprised if it's not working, but If you've got a reproducible issue, please file it on Github.

With ansible 2.5.0.0 this task is not executed with -t monitoring:

- name: "Monitoring scripts on {{ openldap_role }}"
include_tasks: "slapd_monitoring.yml"
tags:
- monitoring

It works correctly with ansible 2.4.4.

Ciao, Michael.
