Hi all- we're happy to announce that the general release of ansible-base  
2.10.0rc2 is now available! This is a PRE-RELEASE release-candidate.

The ansible-base package consists of only the Ansible execution  
engine, related tools (e.g. ansible-galaxy, ansible-test), and a very  
small set of built-in plugins. Most content that was part of Ansible  
2.9 and prior has been split off into individual Ansible Collections,  
which can be installed via the ansible-galaxy tool, or an Ansible  
community distribution that will snapshot a set of collections roughly  
equivalent to what was in previous versions of Ansible. Most Ansible  
playbooks and roles will require the installation of some of these  
collections to be able to execute unmodified under ansible-base 2.10.

Please note that ansible-base 2.10.0rc1, released briefly to PyPI  
earlier today, contained a flaw. If you happened to find and download  
that release from PyPI before it was yanked, you are advised to  
upgrade to 2.10.0rc2 instead.
