Hi all,

We're happy to announce that the ansible-2.10.4 package is now
available! This update contains bugfixes and new, backwards
compatible features in the contained collections.

Ansible-2.10.x is a big change in how the Ansible package is built so
if you missed out on all the changes that have gone into the
ansible-2.10.x packages, please read the announcement for
ansible-2.10.0:
https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-announce/c/QxIOml3i62A

How to get it
-------------

Due to a limitation in pip, if you are upgrading from Ansible 2.9 (or
earlier), you need to uninstall ansible before installing the 2.10 version:

```
$ pip uninstall ansible
$ pip install ansible==2.10.4 --user
```

The tar.gz of the release can be found here:

* Ansible 2.10.4

What's new in Ansible 2.10.4
------------------------------

* This release includes several new collections which copy plugins
from community.general.  The plugins will continue to work from their
old locations but won't see many updates until Ansible-3.0.0. If you
want to get more recent versions, please change to the new location
(for instance, community.general.docker_login is moving to
community.docker.docker_login).

  * community.docker: https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/docker
  * community.hrobot: https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/hrobot
  * community.okd: https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/okd
  * community.postgresql: https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/postgresql
  * community.routeros: https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/routeros

* Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-2.10.4
unified changelog will have an entry on this page:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/2.10/CHANGELOG-v2.10.rst#v2-10-4

* For collections which have not opted into the unified changelog,
consult the list of included collections in the link below and check
their entry on https://galaxy.ansible.com for information about their
changes.

* List of collections included in the 2.10.4 release:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/2.10/ansible-2.10.4.deps

* You can find more information for those on
https://galaxy.ansible.com/. For instance, the community.crypto
collection listed in the ansible-2.10.4.deps file has a galaxy page at
https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto/

* Changelog for ansible-base-2.10.3 which this release of ansible
installs: 
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.10/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.10.rst

What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 2.10.4?
----------------------------------------------------------

* Patch releases will continue to be released approximately every
three weeks with bugfixes and new features as long as those features
do not cause incompatibilities.
* These releases will all be based on ansible-base-2.10.x, however,
with the Christmas and New Year holidays coming, we are expecting the
next release to be around January 5th.
* The next major release of Ansible (3.0.0) is scheduled for early
February, 2021.  This release will still be based on ansible-base-2.10
but will contain potential incompatible changes to the included
collections.
* We are adopting semantic versioning in that version, so it will be
Ansible-3.0.0 rather than Ansible-2.11.0.
