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?
