Hi everyone,

We are very happy to announce a new major version of AWX, 13.0.0!

Here are some of the notable changes from the official changelog ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md)):

- Added import and export subcommands to the official AWX CLI, replacing send and receive from the old tower-cli ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/6125](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/6125)).
- Removed scripts as a means of running inventory updates of built-in types ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/6911](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/6911))
- Ansible 2.8 is now partially unsupported; some inventory source types are known to no longer work.
- Fixed an issue where the vmware inventory source ssl\_verify source variable was not recognized ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/7360](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/7360))
- Fixed a bug that caused redis’ listen socket to have too-permissive file permissions ([https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/7317](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/7317))
- Fixed a bug that caused rsyslogd’s configuration file to have world-readable file permissions, potentially leaking secrets (CVE-2020-10782)

As always, happy automating!
