Just wrote and pushed a lot of documentation, mostly for features in  
1.1 (and are

Environment variables and proxies:

--check-mode (dry run):

--diff:

Complex arguments and how to use them:  
[http://ansible.cc/docs/playbooks2.html#passing-complex-arguments-from-dictionaries](http://ansible.cc/docs/playbooks2.html#passing-complex-arguments-from-dictionaries)

Ability to pass nested variables to task includes  
[http://ansible.cc/docs/playbooks2.html#advanced-task-includes](http://ansible.cc/docs/playbooks2.html#advanced-task-includes)  
[http://ansible.cc/docs/playbooks.html#task-include-files-and-encouraging-reuse](http://ansible.cc/docs/playbooks.html#task-include-files-and-encouraging-reuse)

Best Practices Overhauled:  
[http://ansible.cc/docs/bestpractices.html](http://ansible.cc/docs/bestpractices.html)

In addition, I've also organized the 1.1 changelog for those who want  
to keep up with what we have added so and done so far:

[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md)

So far 1.1 contains already more than what was in 1.0, and this is  
less than halfway into the release. So a lot of stuff there!
