So,
There are only two bugs I would consider POSSIBLY blocking 0.4.
(A) Multiple groups appear to not work correctly with the INI format file (not sure about YAML format, but needs testing).
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/395
(B) The way hosts are referenced, it is impossible to have two hosts on the same port, which runs afoul of tunneling.
Seeing I don’t think (B) ever worked, I am fine with fixing (B) early in 0.5 – patches welcome.
(A) is probably a bit more important to fix. If anyone wants to try their hand at fixing (A), it will speed up the release somewhat. Otherwise, I may not have time to address it until next week.
This still puts us ahead of the original schedule.
Again, hint hint: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/395
Issues with --connection=local should be resolved this AM.
I would assume lots of folks have been testing the devel branch, and the bug count is pretty low, so I think the release is still in great shape and can go out after we resolve #395.
