Right out of the docs:

`

- easy\_install: name=pip state=latest

`

Yields:

`  
TASK: [ansible | easy\_install name=pip state=latest] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
failed: [10.0.192.110] =\> {“failed”: true}  
msg: unsupported parameter for module: state

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting  
`

What could be causing this?

Per the docs, the state param exists since version 2.0. At this time version 2.0 has not been released.

Whoops. Sorry. Gotta pay more attention to the versions.

It would be nice to have docs pages per version.
