Hi all, We're happy to announce that the Ansible 5.10.0 package has been released !
Ansible 5.10.0 includes ansible-core 2.12.7 as well as a curated set of Ansible collections to provide a vast number of modules and plugins. Please see the porting guide (linked at the bottom) for details. 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 5: ``` $ pip uninstall ansible ansible-base $ pip install ansible==5.10.0 --user ``` The tar.gz of the release can be found here: Ansible 5.10.0: https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-5.10.0.tar.gz <https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/ansible/ansible-5.8.0.tar.gz> SHA256: c77f556a7c3d9948f86639c5742aa885be25a7cdbda3bfb41a8314b60a3341e8 What's new in Ansible 5.10.0 --------------------------- * The changelog for ansible-core 2.12 installed by this release of ansible is available here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.12/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.12.rst * Collections which have opted into being a part of the Ansible-5 unified changelog will have an entry on this page: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/5/CHANGELOG-v5.rst * 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. What's the schedule for new Ansible releases after 5.10.0 ? --------------------------------------------------------- * Ansible 5.10.0 is the last Ansible 5.x release. * Ansible 6.0.0 (which will include ansible-core 2.13) is released on 2022-06-21. More information can be found in the roadmap: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/COLLECTIONS_6.html * Please note that the release of ansible-core 2.13 will coincide with the end-of-life of ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10: https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-announce/c/kegIH5_okmg/ * 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#wednesday Porting Help ------------- A unified porting guide for collections which have opted-in is available here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_5.html Getting collection updates from Ansible 5 with ansible-core 2.11.x ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ansible 5 includes ansible-core 2.12.x which has raised the minimum python requirement to python>=3.8 and users have expressed an interest in getting collection updates as they ship in Ansible 5 while keeping ansible-core 2.11.x which still supports python>=2.7. An ansible-galaxy requirements file based on the collections from Ansible 5 has been made available for this use case: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/5/galaxy-requirements.yaml Once the requirements file has been downloaded, the collections can be installed by running: "ansible-galaxy collection install -r galaxy-requirements.yaml" On behalf of the Ansible community, thank you and happy automating! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
