Hi all,

We're happy to announce that the ansible-3.0.0 release candidate 1  
package is now available for testing! This update is based on the  
ansible-base-2.10.x package just like ansible-2.10 was so the changes  
shouldn't be too major. However, it does contain new major versions  
of many collections which means that there will be some backwards  
incompatible changes in the modules and plugins.

How to get it

Hi all,

Just a brief update on the Ansible-3.0.0 release schedule. We've been  
getting feedback that the switch to semantic versioning of the Ansible  
package is confusing to people so we're putting together some  
information on that to go out with the release. This might take a few  
extra days so at yesterday's Community IRC meeting we voted to allow a  
slip to Thursday, February, 18th if we needed it.

I just didn't want anyone to be surprised if Ansible-3.0.0 shows up a  
few days late!

Thanks,
