Hi all, we’re very happy to announce that Ansible 2.2.1 RC2 is ready for testing!

Some bug fix highlights:

  • Fixed a bug in the path searching/resolution for jinja2 includes in template files.
  • Fixed a bug where include_role resulted in tasks which were not properly inheriting variables from a parent role.
  • Fixed a bug related to using scp instead of sftp when using the ssh connection plugin.
  • Fixed a bug related to setfacl on Solaris and other OS versions which use strict POSIX ACLs.
  • Fixed a bug in the AnsiBallz (zip) support for modules where the system clock on the remote system was incorrect (and pre-1980).
  • Fix for bugs in the mount module.
  • Fixed a bug in the “atomic_move” which could result in a traceback.
  • Fix for a bug in the way conditionals evaluate “is defined” and “is undefined” and other logical variants.
  • Fix for a bug related to the way iterating over HostVars works.
  • Some fixes for unicode issues in paths and other places.

How do you get it?

Glad to see a new RC of 2.2
It will be nice if this fix get in to 2.2 branch also, it’s a bad regression for us to have no log of what ansible changed on the remote server, the fix https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/18570

We would like to have the RPM version from EPEL on our servers, so I’d love to have the 2.2.1 published soon to have this regression and the regression for mount module for CentOS/RHEL 5.x in.
When do you publish the 2.2.1 version ?
Thanks
