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? ---
