Hey everyone,
We're excited to announce a new major version of AWX, 7.0.0.
Here's what's new:
- AWX now detects and installs Ansible Collections defined in your project (note - this feature only works in Ansible 2.9+) (https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/2534)
- AWX now includes an official command line client. Keep an eye out for a follow-up email on this mailing list for information on how to install it and try it out.
- Added the ability to provide a specific SCM branch on jobs (https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/282)
- Added support for Workflow Approval Nodes, a new feature which allows you to add "pause and wait for approval" steps into your workflows (https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/1206)
- Added the ability to specify a specific HTTP method for webhook notifications (POST vs PUT) (https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/4124)
