Ansible-lint new release 4.0.0

On Monday 17 Dec 2018 we plan to release ansible-lint 4.0.0

This is the first release since Ansible became the maintainer, see Oct 22nd mailing list post for details.

The changes are summarized in the repository roadmap, and include:

  • New Documentation site docs.ansible.com/ansible-lint

  • New rules were added, the full set of rules are listed in the docsite’s default rules

  • Fixed running with role path containing single or multiple dirs

  • Fixed double sudo rule output

  • Packaging and repository updates

  • Severity property added to rules to be used by Galaxy

If you wish to run this now, you can install from source via the readme.

Future changes planned for 4.1.0 are listed in the roadmap, including improvements on skipping rules/tasks, and to allow rules to check file presence. Community feedback is welcome.
