Hi all, we’ve just tagged the rc2 release for 1.9.4, which adds a couple more bug fixes.

To test from source, simply clone the git repository (if you haven’t already) and do the following:

$ git checkout v1.9.4-0.2.rc2  
$ git submodule update  
$ . hacking/env-setup

After which time you can run ansible and ansible-playbook like normal. If you’re not familiar with the hacking/env-setup script, please refer to the documentation here:

[http://docs.ansible.com/intro\_installation.html#running-from-source](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html#running-from-source)

To make a tar ball, RPM or DEB with which to test, do the following:

$ git checkout v1.9.4-0.2.rc2  
$ git submodule update

# for a .tar.gz (output is dist/ansible-1.9.4.tar.gz)

$ make sdist

# for RPMs

$ OFFICIAL=yes make rpm

# for DEBs

$ OFFICIAL=yes make deb

If you discover any errors related to this release candidate, please open a Github issue and be sure to mention which version you’re testing. We will be looking to evaluate the status of this release candidate on Tuesday, September 15th.

Thanks!
