Hi all- we're happy to announce the following release candidates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* ansible-core 2.11.0rc1  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* ansible-base 2.10.8rc1  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* ansible 2.9.20rc1  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* ansible 2.8.20rc1

Several notes:

\* ansible 2.8.20rc1 and ansible 2.9.20rc1 both have numerous security fixes  
&nbsp;&nbsp;which address several modules logging sensitive data. This flaw has been  
&nbsp;&nbsp;assigned CVE-2021-3447. See the changelog (linked below) for more  
&nbsp;&nbsp;information.

\* This is the final release cycle for ansible 2.8.z, which has received only  
&nbsp;&nbsp;security updates since the release of 2.10.0.

\* This is the final \*bugfix\* release cycle for ansible 2.9.z. Ansible 2.9 now  
&nbsp;&nbsp;enters the security-only phase (after this release candidate goes to GA), and  
&nbsp;&nbsp;only security-critical updates will be shipped from that point forward.
