Hi all, we’re happy to announce that RC4 for 2.1.2 is now available for testing.

This release candidate also adds the following fixes for bugs:

- Fixed a bug related to creation of retry files (#17456)
- Fixed a bug in the way include params are used when an include task is dynamic (#17064)
- Fixed a bug related to including blocks in an include task (#15963)
- Fixed a bug related to the use of hostvars internally when creating the connection plugin. This prevents things like variables using lookups from being evaluated unnecessarily (#17024)
- Fixed a bug where using a variable containing a list for the `hosts` of a play resulted in an list of lists (#16583)
- Fixed a bug where integer values would cause an error if a module param was of type `float` (no issue)
- Fixed a bug with net\_template failing if src was not specified (#17726)

Module fixes:

- ini\_file:

- Fixed a bug where option lines are now inserted before blank lines.
- Fixed a bug where leading whitespace prevented matches on options.

- Fixed a bug in iam\_cert when dup\_ok is used as a string.
- Fixed a bug in postgresql\_db related to the changed logic when state=absent.
- Fixed a bug where single\_transaction and quick were not passed into db\_dump for the mysql\_db module.
- Fixed several bugs with mount.
- Fixed several more minor bugs in extras modules.

How do you get it?

Unfortunately I get a pretty quick fail:

Good catch Jesse, we’re looking into it and we’ll cut RC5 asap.

Just pushed a fix to the stable-2.1 branch. James is working on rc5 now.
