 Ansible, Inc. releases a new major release of Ansible approximately every two months.  The core application evolves somewhat conservatively, valuing simplicity in language design and setup. However, the community around new modules and plugins being developed and contributed moves very quickly, typically adding 20 or so new modules in each release.
