The bug queue for 0.8 is getting to be pretty reasonable. I am
planning on squashing tickets through the weekend so we can deliver
0.8 shortly.
Please review any open bugs and see if you can help squash any of them:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues?milestone=1&state=open
Dates for 0.8 release are as follows:
Feature freeze: this Friday 12PM midnight EST ... no new pull
requests for features (bugs are ok)
Testing and any bugfixes: next Monday through Thursday
Release: following Friday night
You will notice I have moved some bugs and feature ideas to 0.9 already.
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues?milestone=2&page=1&state=open
A lot of these are RFEs or borderline RFEs and I'll be dependent on
everyone here to help work on particular issues for 0.9 once 0.9
starts. This is already a pretty large list. RFEs without
volunteers may not all get implemented.
Major 0.9 themes for me in 0.9 will include resurecting
ansible-commander (in part, anyway), the new 'when' keyword (providing
an easier only_if), making a pluggable system for looking up variables
in external systems which jp_mens has already prototyped, and reducing
the number of runner operations for performance operations (like doing
template+file and copy+file all in one module call, and exploring
modules that do directory cleanup versus a seperate tempdir call). I
suspect about a 30-40% reduction in remote operations is possible in
0.9.
So yeah...
