Hi all, 1.9.4 has been released, and is now available.

This release addresses several bugs, most notably those related to the yum module (introduced in 1.9.3):

  • Fixes a bug where yum state=latest would error if there were no updates to install.
  • Fixes a bug where yum state=latest did not work with wildcard package names.
  • Fixes a bug in lineinfile relating to escape sequences.
  • Fixes a bug where vars_prompt was not keeping passwords private by default.
  • Fix ansible-galaxy and the hipchat callback plugin to check that the host it
    is contacting matches its TLS Certificate.

As always, this update is available via PyPi and releases.ansible.com now, and packages for distros will be available as soon as possible.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Hi James,

How much does it take time to update epel repos with the latest version ? EPEL for CentOS/RHEL 6 still shows v1.9.2.

I am asking this as I have to open a change ticket to update my environment from v1.8.2 to the latest version, if this will not take much time I would like to wait for the packages to be released on EPEL. Thanks.

Regards,
Vikas

I think I read somewhere on the EPEL site that it is usually about 2 weeks.
I guess there might be a little more time to wait for mirrors to catch up too.

I wrote about this a while back:

I just built and submitted the 1.9.4 updates, they should be in
updates-testing tomorrow or so.

So, testing and karma would be quite welcome. :wink:

In progress, should be up shortly. Sorry, the jenkins job for this errored
in a way that didn't actually cause the job to fail out with an error
notification. Thanks for the notice!

I’m not seeing any performance improvements notes – but is anyone else observing 1.9.4 to provide a significant performance boost over 1.9.3?

If you're a heavy user of the yum module, some of the bug fixing there
also increased performance.
