Hi all, We're happy to announce that the ansible-3.4.0 package has been released! The update contains bugfixes and new, backwards compatible features in the contained collections.
If you would like to learn about how and why we got to version 3.0.0, we invite you to visit our blog for the background as well as a Q&A: - https://www.ansible.com/blog/announcing-the-community-ansible-3.0.0-package - https://www.ansible.com/blog/ansible-3.0.0-qa 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 3.x version: ``` $ pip uninstall ansible $ pip install ansible==3.4.0 --user ``` The tar.gz of the release can be found here: * Ansible 3.4.0 https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-3.4.0.tar.gz SHA256: ca34e2c0c3f92cad5e528c94c133e620845feb11cc62f42e98d28271fe5bd924 What's new in Ansible 3.4.0 --------------------------- * The Ansible package has moved to semantic versioning (https://semver.org/). This standard allows you to tell if a new version of Ansible contains incompatibilities by looking at the version number. We've moved from 3.3.0 to 3.4.0 to show that this release should be backwards compatible with Ansible-3.3.0 but may contain new features. Read the semver specification for more information. * Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-3 unified changelog will have an entry on this page: * https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/3/CHANGELOG-v3.rst#v3-4-0 * 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. * https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/3/ansible-3.4.0.deps * You can find more information for those on https://galaxy.ansible.com/. For instance, the community.crypto collection listed in the ansible-3.4.0.deps file has a galaxy page at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto/ * Changelog for ansible-base-2.10.9 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 3.4.0? --------------------------------------------------------- * Except for ansible-2.9.x, older versions of ansible are not seeing maintenance releases. If there is a desire for maintenance releases of older versions, drop by a Community Working Group Meeting to discuss how you can help. ( https://github.com/ansible/community/tree/main/meetings#wednesdays ) * We're currently planning to release Ansible-4.0.0 next week, on May 18, 2021. When this release happens, we will no longer be providing updates of the Ansible-3 package. See the Ansible 4 Roadmap for details: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/COLLECTIONS_4.html Porting Help ------------- There's a unified porting guide for collections which have opted-in.
