Hi all- we're happy to announce that Beta 2 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==2.5.0b2 --user


The tar.gz of the release can be found here:

http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.5.0b2.tar.gz
SHA256: e12eb3d43bc7f7fda446af1a1c915199fdd7a70c683abbad9f863367bf72c51f

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
$ cd ansible
$ git checkout v2.5.0b2


You can then source our testing script:

$ . hacking/env-setup

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be 
dist/ansible-2.5.0b2.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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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_guides/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 2.5.0b2.


Thanks!
