Hello everyone,

We’re happy to announce the Beta release of Ansible 9.0.0b1!

This pre-release version contains the latest version of ansible-core  
2.16 and includes a curated set of Ansible collections that provides a  
vast number of modules and plugins.

ansible-core is a required dependency, not contained within the  
ansible packages.

How to get it?
