Hi all,

We're happy to announce that the Ansible 5.2.0 package has been released !

Ansible 5.2.0 includes the newly released ansible-core 2.12.1 as well as  
a curated set of Ansible collections to provide a vast number of  
modules and plugins.

This is a major version update from Ansible 4.x which included  
ansible-core 2.11 and there may be backwards incompatibilities in the  
core playbook language.

Please see the porting guide (linked at the bottom) for details.

How to get it

Please, change this language. the ansible-core software is "required"  
by ansible tarball and by "pip3 install ansible" now. None of the code  
for ansible-core is "included" there, and its installation is distinct  
in source code and installed components.
