Ansible 2.0 RC4 is available for testing

Hi all, as mentioned yesterday the 2.0 RC4 release is now available for testing.

This release candidate includes the following bug fixes (as well as some other minor ones):

  • bugs in the free/linear strategies related task iteration, where some tasks could be skipped if they occured in rescue/always portions of a block.
  • bugs in the linear strategy, where in certain situations the next task was not being correctly selected, meaning the playbook would hang until ctrl+c is pressed.
  • unicode in some connection plugins was causing a problem.

The final release is now scheduled for next week, Tuesday January 12th.
