Hi all,

We're happy to announce that the Ansible-4.0.0 alpha2 package is now  
available! This update is based on the Ansible-core-2.11.x package  
which is a major update from the Ansible-3 package (Ansible-3 was  
based on Ansible-core-2.10.x). There may be backwards  
incompatibilities in the core playbook language. Please see the  
porting guide for details.

This is an alpha release. Therefore, there may be more backwards  
incompatible changes and new features added before Ansible-4.0.0 final  
is released. We're making this release now so that people can test  
for incompatibilities with the upcoming ansible-core-2.11.0 package  
while there is still a chance to get bugs fixed before  
ansible-core-2.11.0 final is released.

How to get it
