Hi all, Ansible 1.8.3 has been released and is now available. This releases fixes one security bug (temp files created when using “ansible-vault view ” are not created with a secure umask), as well as including fixes for many minor bugs with the core code and modules which are already in devel. If you use the ansible-vault command, we recommend users upgrade as soon as possible. Thanks to Nicolas Le Manchet for discovering and reporting the security issue to us! This update is available via PyPi and [releases.ansible.com](http://releases.ansible.com) now, and packages for distros will be available as soon as possible. Thanks! ---

Hey all, We've encountered one regression in 1.8.3 that we'd like to put out a 1.8.4 release to address: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/808](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/808) If any of you have encountered something that worked in 1.8.2 and regressed in 1.8.3 that you think should get fixed let us know ASAP and we'll see if we can squeeze it in. Please restrict yourselves to regressions. Our hope is that restricting 1.8.4 to regression fixes will add polish to 1.8 with less risk of introducing new bugs. 1.9 isn't too far away and we want to land non-regressions there. Thanks, -Toshio ---

​I think you need to have a look at this one, too:   [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/812](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/812) which was introduced in [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/commit/bac5d5423c2a4a3520ff5044156d42c3b4d3724f](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/commit/bac5d5423c2a4a3520ff5044156d42c3b4d3724f)     Serge​ ---

The modules/extras/windows directory is still missing when installing with pip (not sure if it’s missing from the packaging or just doesn’t get installed). ---

Hi Mathieu, the extras/windows/ directory is a recent addition and was not available in the 1.8.x branch. It will be included in the 1.9 major release. Thanks!
