Using [this callback plugin](https://gist.github.com/cliffano/9868180) has been great for reading the logs but with a recent update I started getting [double output](https://gist.github.com/davidneudorfer/676855077351ebb17cef) and my logs are beginning to get unmanageable. Is anyone else using this callback plugin and experiencing a similar problem?

Thanks

I am using this plugin. I have not seen double output. I use Ansible  
version 1.8.1.

I see that, human\_log repeats display result for single tasks executed.  
It display result for two times for each task.  
Is there anyone, who faced similar issue?  
Could you please help?
