Hi all, we're very happy to announce that Ansible 2.2.1 RC1 is ready for testing!
Some bug fix highlights: * Fixes a bug where undefined variables in with_* loops would cause a task failure even if the when condition would cause the task to be skipped. * Fixes multiple bugs related to field/attribute inheritance in nested blocks and includes, as well as task iteration logic during failures. * Fixes a bug with "vault rekey" when using environment variables to specify the vault password file. * Fixes a bug in which include_vars was not working with failed_when. * Fixes several bugs related to properly incrementing the failed count in the host statistics. * Fixes a bug with listening handlers which did not specify a `name` field. * Fixes a bug with the `play_hosts` internal variable, so that it properly reflects the current list of hosts. * Fixes a bug related to the v2_playbook_on_start callback method and legacy (v1) plugins. * Fixes an openssh related process exit race condition, related to the fact that connections using ControlPersist do not close stderr. * Improvements and fixes to OpenBSD fact gathering. * More python 3 fixes. Modules: * Fixes a bug where the pip module was not properly installing things/using the wrong pip executable when run from inside a venv. * Fixes for the service/systemd module. * Fixes for several packaging modules, including apt, yum and dnf. * Several fixes for bugs in the cron module.
