Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC1 for 2.4.0 is now available for testing.

How do you get it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The tar.gz of the release can be found here:

[http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.4.0.0-0.1.rc1.tar.gz
SHA256](http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.4.0.0-0.1.rc1.tar.gz
SHA256): 3437c3262a5905e997555acdc2feaa7180b962943a4bee9c85a8c96bd498d9e8

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

$ git clone [https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git](https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git)
$ cd ansible
$ git checkout v2.4.0.0-0.1.rc1

You can then source our testing script:

$ . hacking/env-setup

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be dist/ansible-2.4.0.0.tar.gz):

$ make sdist

If you discover any errors, or if you see any regressions from playbooks which work on 2.3.x and prior, please open a Github issue and be sure to mention you're testing against this release candidate.

Thanks!
