I've looked at the documentation on the site ([https://docs.ansible.com/playbooks\_roles.html](https://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_roles.html)) that describes this feature, but it doesn't indicate when it became available, and the only mention of something similar I see in the Changelog is about library/ being relative to the playbook itself (which was introduced in 0.5). Does anyone know when this feature was added? Thanks, ---

I've got one server running 1.7.1 and the playbook it's finding the right overriden module in a role's library. It is working on 1.8.2 and higher, so I'm guessing it's a bug in that version that was fixed. Maybe [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/8633](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/8633) ?
