Hi all,

We're happy to announce that the Ansible 5.0.0 beta2 package is now available!

This version is based on the newly released ansible-core 2.12.0 which  
is a major update from ansible-core 2.11.x used in Ansible 4.  
There may be backwards incompatibilities in the core playbook language.  
Please see the porting guide for details.

This is a beta release so we encourage people to use it to test that  
their playbooks and workflows work with the upcoming major release.  
Bugs can be reported to relevant trackers such as  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/) for ansible-core and the relevant  
collection repositories for modules and plugins from Ansible  
collections.

How to get it
