Hi all,

We're happy to announce that the Ansible 5.8.0 package has been released !

Ansible 5.8.0 includes ansible-core 2.12 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.
