Ansible 2.1.0 RC4 is ready for testing

Hi all, we’re happy to announce that RC4 for 2.1.0 is now available for testing.

This updated release candidate fixes two more bugs (one very long standing and one a result of a change in this release):

  • Fixes a bug where the item squashing code (which is used by many package modules) was incorrectly
    squashing the list of package names.
  • Adds an additional mitigation for the intermittent ssh issue where a heavily loaded system
    might return no data (this is a bug between sshd and the kernel, but this mitigation makes it
    much less likely to occur).

How do you get it?

Hi,

It would be nice if this issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/2144 could be resolved before 2.1.0 gets released.
There is already a pull request with the fix: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/2149
Otherwise the pkgutil-module would be unusable.

Thanks!

Just an update for the mailing list – we finished reviewing and merging this too late for 2.1.0 but it is now merged into the stable-2.1 branch for inclusion into 2.1.1.
