I know a lot of folks consume upstream git versus releases (great, me  
too!), but releases are still widely used by the distributions.

Our current release plan is 'approximately every two months', and we  
last released Ansible 0.9 on November 30th.

Given we have been shooting for a release about every 2 months, this  
puts a good time for the next release at the end of this month.

I am suggesting we have a feature freeze on Friday of next week and  
shoot for a release on 2/1/2013.

In the meantime, testing of anything that appeals to you in the  
changelog would be great!

The documentation only mentions the git clone.  
How does one get the releases?

The docs mention distro-specific methods, see:

[http://ansible.cc/docs/gettingstarted.html](http://ansible.cc/docs/gettingstarted.html)

You can also check out by tag.

Github has removed the ability we have to upload tarballs to github in  
a seperate area, so I'll likely start hosting tarballs on  
[http://ansible.cc/](http://ansible.cc/) instead. The tarballs we create contain more than  
the git checkout at any point in time, and are essentially the result  
of "make sdist".

( Once again thanks to Raleigh area Tranquil Hosting for taking care  
of us -- [http://tqhosting.com/](http://tqhosting.com/) )
