Hello.

I need a bugfix backported to the stable branch. I installed ansible with pip.

Can I use pip to upgrade ansible to use what is in the stable branch?

When will be the 2.6.2 version released?

Just for information, the bugfix is:  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42483](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42483)

You would need to run from source, just follow the running from source guide  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation\_guide/intro\_installation.html#running-from-source](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#running-from-source)

You just need to do "git checkout stable-2.6" after the "cd ./ansible" part.

2-3 weeks after 2.6.1 and 2.6.1 was released July 6.

Thank you for the information.

I'm using now the 2.5.6 version without problems and will wait until 2.6.2.

Thank you again.
