Ansible 2.2.0 RC3 is ready for testing

Hi all, we’re happy to announce that RC3 for 2.2.0 is now available for testing.

This release candidate addresses the following bugs:

  • Fixed a bug where a custom module could overwrite connection-based variables.
  • Fixed a bug with apt_key, where the use of long keys caused some problems (#5237, #5353, #5357)
  • Fixed a race condition bug in the new Windows async support.
  • Fixed a bug where include_role was not failing if the specified “tasks_from” file was not found.
  • Fixed a bug related to async tasks running in check mode.
  • Fixed a bug with handlers so that both by name and by listen target work.
  • Fixed a bug related to ‘smart’ connection mode and the scp_if_ssh setting when fetching files.
  • Various fixes related to facts.
  • Many more Python 3 fixes.

How do you get it?
