Hi all, for those not at AnsibleFest we have officially release the first release candidate for Ansible 2.0! For details and background, please see the original beta announcement here: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/\_hTjEIpbA\_Y/GtllImCkCQAJ](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/_hTjEIpbA_Y/GtllImCkCQAJ) How do you get it? ---

Is there a document anywhere that describes the changes and/or recommendations to migrate playbooks from 1.9.x to 2.0.0 (I’m not seeing anything obvious)? I installed 2.0.0 and attempted to run an existing playbook and it fell over immediately. It appears that variable scope has changed in significant ways (the play errored out checking a variable that had been defined in group\_vars/all). TIA John ---

The changelog has most of the things you need to look at [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.0/CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.0/CHANGELOG.md) Variable scope has not changed, precedence has been clarified and templating has been defered to the last possible moment. These last 2 have made it possible to fix many silent errors, which are now shown when they were ignored before. ---

I would also recommend creating a new thread on ansible-project with any problems you are having. Generally speaking, 2.0 should be backwards compatible, and if you are having issues with a playbook that ran fine, we should probably know a little more about it to determine if it is an issue with the 2.0 code base. ---

When will we be able to install v2.0 via PIP? (I’m still seeing 1.9.4) ---

Ansible 2.0 is still in release candidate, and pre releases are not pushed to pypi. If you wish to install via pip, the following should work: pip install [http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.0.0-0.6.rc1.tar.gz](http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.0.0-0.6.rc1.tar.gz) ---
