After a year of work, Ansible 2.0 is now available for download!


Thanks to everyone in the community who has helped with this, whether it's been through code contributions or testing. We've had ~300 individual users contribute code to "v2", not even counting the number of users contributing to the massive number of modules included in this release.

We are having a small issue updating our PPA with this release, which we're working on correcting. We'll send an update when that has been fixed.

Thanks again!

Just a heads up, we're going to be pushing 2.0.0.1 shortly to address a few packaging issues which were noticed today:

* Debian package failing to build due to a mistake in the changelog file.
* A directory required for the ansible-galaxy CLI command was not packaged, causing that utility to error on use.
* Re-added the taiga_issue module, which was excluded by accident.

The new version should be ready shortly.

Thanks!

The EPEL packages usually take a few days to show up, per their regular process. If you (or anyone else) has Fedora accounts, you can test and +1 the packages to get them from epel-testing faster.

You can find builds of 2.0.0.1 in the fedora update system: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=ansible

Fedora/EPEL updates to their package repositories are manual because they involve signing of the rpms so sometimes it can take a few days before builds of a package show up in their repositories.

Also note, Kevin Fenzi (the Fedora/EPEL ansible package maintainer) and I have been talking about how to manage this update and his current plan is to let the update sit in their updates-testing repository for quite a while to gather feedback about whether it works, breaks compatibility badly for their users, etc.  So for at least a while users of fedora and EPEL will be able to get 1.9.4 from their updates repository and 2.0.x from updates-testing.  (This could change in the future but it is the current plan).
