Ansible 2.1.1 RC2 is ready for testing

Hi all, we’re happy to announce that RC2 for 2.1.1 is now available for testing.

This release candidate fixes several more bugs since the RC1 release:

  • Several fixes to the way async works to prevent race conditions and other bugs
  • More fixes to the way failed and unreachable hosts affect future plays
  • Fixed a bug in the way the to_json filter encoded some objects
  • Fixed a bug in the way roles and dependencies are loaded, and how they inherit
    params from parent roles.
  • Fixed a bug in which the number of retries in a do/until loop was off by one
  • Fixed a bug in the way the passwd lookup deals with salts
  • When using the local connection, internally the remote_user value is now forced
    to be the current user even if remote_user is specified, to prevent issues with
    become settings

How do you get it?
