Many things recently! Here are some developments over the last week on the 1.1 development branch. Most of these are module related. This email includes things that have changed since the last changelog update I sent out, and is not comprehensive at all for 1.1 (as 1.1 already includes 13 other new modules, check (dry run), and so on!) \*\* NEW MODULES \*\* We have new modules for OpenBSD packages and controlling Cisco Netscalers. The netscaler module will be tweaked some in the future, so what you see there is just a start! \*\* NEW TWEAKS/FEATURES \*\* The nagios module has a new silence/unsilence command which is detailed in the docs. Doc site updates not pushed quite yet. The get\_url module has a "use\_proxy=no" option if you want to ignore the environmental proxies. The fetch module has a new "fail\_on\_missing=yes" option for those that want to use fetch in a way that does raise an error when the remote file is gone. As a reminder, fetch was originally written as a very basic logfile collector where we didn't always know if a file on the remote side was present, so it doesn't fail by default. The URI module now has a default timeout of 30 seconds and it is adjustable. The ec2 parameter now has a "wait=yes|no" option (default no) that waits for a guest to come up and will fail if it does not. The timeout is adjustable. The lineinfile module now allows regex backreferences. This is shown in an example in the docs. Docs are not pushed quite yet. vars\_prompt can now specify the crypt scheme to use when encrypting passwords. I'm not sure how many people really want to use vars\_prompt for this because it's going to need to be entered every time, but it's now possible. See examples/playbooks/prompts.yml and the source of the advanced playbooks page -- it's not on the web just yet. Facts have been upgraded so you get a bit more data on OS X and Alpine Linux is also detected Various misc. bugfixes have been applied As a reminder, 1.1 is due for release at approximately the end of this month. We will do a feature freeze during the last week of the month to allow for more testing of new things. ---

Minor addition to the above nagios also has a new action of 'command' nagios: action=command command='DISABLE\_FAILURE\_PREDICTION' so you can send arbitrary nagios commands directly to the nagios command file. -sv
