1.8 release date

Hi,

Is there a rough date when Ansible 1.8 might become available on PyPI?

Thank you,

Shaunak

We typically release about every 2.5-3.5 months as you can infer from the changelog.

We are expecting to keep you that timing for 1.8.

Can we expect another 1.7.x release in the meantime? The pace for build releases seem to have been faster (once a month or so this summer), which is a good thing since it allows users to get access to fixes more quickly.

“(once a month or so this summer)”

Not the case.

Major releases typically come about every 2-3 months, on average. Occasionally we have had to include dot releases to roll up some major fixes, but are not currently under that sort of scenario.

Our current plan is to release sometime this month.
