Hi all- we're happy to announce that Beta 1 of Ansible 2.5.0 is now available! The core engine and all modules are now considered "feature complete" for the 2.5 release series. Bugfix and stabilization activities will continue through the release candidate phase as we prepare for the final release, targeted for sometime in March.
How do you get it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first time, 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==2.5.0b1 --user The tar.gz of the release can be found here: http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.5.0b1.tar.gz SHA256: 658166a5c5218464a775c4c9ddfe9e5f0971225d001f618df0aadf2e24fb9602 You can also test against the git repository as follows: $ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git $ cd ansible $ git checkout v2.5.0b1 You can then source our testing script: $ . hacking/env-setup or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be dist/ansible-2.5.0b1.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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Beta 2: February 15, 2018 Release Candidate 1: February 22, 2018 (further release candidates as necessary) Final Release: March, 2018 Finally, we've published a draft porting guide at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/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 2.5.0b1. Thanks!
