It’s been a very busy two weeks!

Stay up to date with changes and additions here:

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

3 new modules already for Amazon RDS, Digital Ocean, and Datadog. there’s also one still in the queue for MySQL replication management that should be ready to merge in soon.

Also, the new option in ansible.cfg to fail on undefined template variables (nice!) and the “facts.d” capability Seth added allows for hosts to, if you so choose, easily define some of their own variables at provisioning time, or at the hands of the user.

Let me know if you have any questions!
