Hi all, We're happy to announce that the ansible-4.9.0 package has been released to PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/ansible/4.9.0/
This new version contains bug fixes as well as new, backwards compatible features in the Ansible collections that are included in the package. How to get it ------------- Due to a limitation in pip, if you are upgrading from Ansible 3 (or earlier), you need to uninstall Ansible and Ansible Base before installing Ansible 4: ``` $ pip uninstall ansible ansible-base $ pip install ansible==4.9.0 --user ``` The tar.gz of the release can be found here: * Ansible 4.9.0: https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-4.9.0.tar.gz * SHA256: e8768deafd08da710de4aee518ec7f84d270faf64a9e71e63239b23c14806ba7 What's new in Ansible 4.9.0 --------------------------- * Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-4 unified changelog will have an entry on this page: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/4/CHANGELOG-v4.rst#v4-9-0 * For collections which have not opted into the unified changelog, you may find more information on https://galaxy.ansible.com or their source repository. For example, the community.crypto collection would be found at https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/crypto and you can find a link to the source repository under the "Repo" button at the top right. * The changelog for ansible-core 2.11.6 installed by this release of ansible is available here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.11/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.11.rst Porting Help ------------ A unified porting guide for collections that have opted-in is available in the documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_4.html What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 4.9.0? --------------------------------------------------------- * Except for ansible-2.9.x, older versions of ansible are no longer 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 * Maintenance releases of ansible-4.x will occur roughly every three weeks until the release of ansible-5.0.0. * The last expected release of Ansible 4.x will be 4.10 around December 14th 2021. * ansible-5.0.0 is planned to be released on 2021-11-30 and will include the latest major versions of every included Ansible collection as well as ansible-core 2.12.x.
