Hi all, Ansible 1.9.5 RC1 is available for testing.

This release to the 1.9.x series addresses several critical bugs for those who are unable to update to Ansible 2.0. The fixes included are:

  • Compatibility fix with docker 1.8.
  • Fix a bug with the crypttab module omitting certain characters from the name of the device
  • Fix bug with uri module not handling all binary files
  • Fix bug with ini_file not removing options set to an empty string
  • Fix bug with script and raw modules not honoring parameters passed via yaml dict syntax
  • Fix bug with plugin loading finding the wrong modules because the suffix checking was not ordered
  • Fix bug in the literal_eval module code used when we need python-2.4 compat
  • Added --ignore-certs, -c option to ansible-galaxy. Allows ansible-galaxy to work behind a proxy
    when the proxy fails to forward server certificates.
  • Fixed bug where tasks marked no_log were showing hidden values in output if
    ansible’s --diff option was used.
  • Fix bug with non-english locales in git and apt modules
  • Compatibility fix for using state=absent with the pip ansible module and pip-6.1.0+
  • Backported support for ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation flag to disable cert validation on Python 2.7.9+ (and support for other passthru args to pywinrm transport).
  • Backported various updates to user module (prevent accidental OS X group membership removals, various checkmode fixes).

How do you get it?

Hi,

I know it's a bit late, but is it possible to have #6846 merged in the
next(?) release of the 1.9.x series?

#6846 Don't disable GSSAPIAuthentication or PubkeyAuthentication when
      using --ask-pass

thanks
