Ansible-2.10.1 has been released

[Toshio Kuratomi]

Hi all-

**Important:** If you are upgrading from Ansible 2.9.x or older,
please see the `How to get it` section for an important limitation.

We're happy to announce that the ansible-2.10.1 package is now
available! This update contains bugfixes and new, backwards
compatible features in the contained collections as well as bringing
in ansible-base-2.10.2 as a dependency.

This is the first minor release of the ansible-2.10 package. If you
missed out on all the changes that have gone into the ansible-2.10.x
packages, please read the announcement for ansible-2.10.0:
https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-announce/c/QxIOml3i62A


How to get it
-------------

Due to a limitation in pip, if you are upgrading from Ansible 2.9 (or
earlier), you need to uninstall ansible before installing the 2.10 version:

$ pip uninstall ansible
$ pip install ansible==2.10.1 --user

What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 2.10.0?
-----------------------------------------------------------

* Patch releases will continue to be released approximately every
three weeks with bugfixes and new features as long as those features
do not cause incompatibilities.
* These releases will all be based on ansible-base-2.10.x
* Expect ansible-2.10.2 around November 3.

* We're still discussing the release schedule for ansible-2.11.0.
* We're tentatively thinking of releasing ansible-2.11.0, with
potential backwards incompatible changes to the collections but based
on ansible-base-2.10 in early February, 2021.
* Take this information as being subject to change as we're in the
early stages of discussion.
