Hi all- we're happy to announce that the first BETA release of ansible-core
2.11.0 is now available!

ansible-core 2.11 is a rename of ansible-base. As with ansible-base, it includes
only a minimal, vetted set of modules and plugins, and is extensible through the
use of Ansible Collections. This release of ansible-core includes some new
features and changes that we'd like to highlight below. This list is not
exhaustive:

- As of this release, Python 3.8 is now a *soft requirement* on the
  controller. (This release will continue to work with the same versions of
  Python as ansible-base 2.10, but ansible-core 2.12 will NOT)

- Role arguments can now be validated at runtime to ensure that roles are used
  correctly

- ansible-galaxy now makes use of "resolvelib" for resolving dependencies

- New virtualization facts are now included (as lists), so that administrators
  can see all virtual guest and host technologies available to the node

$ pip install ansible-base==2.11.0b1 --user
