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](http://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](https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/) 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. Jon ---

I wrote about this a while back: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/dm59ern73-w/SaBIVJAeBjAJ](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/dm59ern73-w/SaBIVJAeBjAJ) 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. 😉 kevin ---

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! Bill ---

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. -Toshio
