Ansible 2.1.5 and 2.2.2 RC2 are ready for testing

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, we're very happy to announce that RC2 for Ansible 2.1.5 and 2.2.2 are ready for testing!

These rc's include one fix for both 2.2.2 and 2.1.5, and two more fixes just for 2.2.2:

* Fix azure_rm version checks (#22270) (both 2.2.2 and 2.1.5)

* Fix for traceback when we encounter non-utf8 characters when using --diff

* Ensure ssh hostkey checks respect server port (#20840)

How do you get them?

$ git submodule update --init

You can then source our testing script:

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be in the dist/ directory):

$ 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!
