Hi all, we're very happy to announce that Ansible 2.2.0 has been released! This release includes many new features and improvements (from the RC1 release announcement):
* Almost 200 new modules! * Major performance improvements. In many cases, you should see a 2-3x improvement over 2.1/2.0. * `include_role` now allows for roles to be executed inline with your other tasks, instead of listing them only in the `roles:` section of your plays ( http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/include_role_module.html) * The `listen` feature for handlers allows for much easier notifications of multiple handlers via a pub/sub mechanism ( http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_intro.html#handlers-running-operations-on-change ). * Serial batches can now be specified as a list rather than a single integer value, meaning you can do something like this to scale up serial batches: `serial: [1, 5, 10]` # the first batch will be 1 host, 2nd=5 hosts, all other batches will be 10 hosts) * Windows tasks can now use "async", and can also now use the "environment" option to set environment variables. * Support for binary modules. * New become method: `ksu` (Kerberos su). * New meta option: `end_play`, which allows for early termination of a play without failing. * Meta tasks now support conditional statements. Here is the official announcement on our website: https://www.ansible.com/press/ansible-22-delivers-new-automation-capabilities-for-containers-networks-and-cloud As always, this update is available via PyPi and releases.ansible.com now, and packages for distros will be available as soon as possible. Thanks and enjoy!
