Ansible 2.0 Beta 3 is available for testing

[James Cammarata]

Happy Friday the 13th all, we're happy to announce the third beta of 2.0 is available for testing!

This will hopefully be the final beta before we do our first release candidate for 2.0, so please help us test things out! This beta includes some tweaks to help performance when operating with very large inventories and variable sets, as well as many other fixes.

For details and background, please see the original beta announcement here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/_hTjEIpbA_Y/GtllImCkCQAJ

How do you get it?

SHA256: 3a9638bc15fd3da0f8788dd18fdd9542825d0bc48f30f8a9d2fb176d2c76efae

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

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

$ cd ansible

$ git checkout v2.0.0-0.5.beta3

$ 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-2.0.0.tar.gz):

$ make sdist

If you discover any errors related to this beta release, 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 which version you're testing.

Thanks!
