Hi all, we're proceeding down the path towards 2.4.0 final. We've just
pushed RC2 for 2.4.0 up to [http://releases.ansible.com](http://releases.ansible.com) and it is now
available for testing. Note that we're trying our best to hit our release
date of September 19th for the final release so we'll probably only have
time to cut one more release candidate if we need it before final. Please
test this candidate and report any bugs so we can prioritise and fix them.
How do you get it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The tar.gz of the release can be found here:
[http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.4.0.0-0.2.rc2.tar.gz

SHA256): 363c869c71977c1bddb7eb1bc530c76e3e69356a1aeb3bf59f0f10dbbc53a5f7
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 v2.4.0.0-0.2.rc2
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!
