Oh, PS: Along with NTLM and kerberos delegation support, this version of pywinrm has switched the HTTP(S) client from urllib2 to requests. This allows us to take advantage of persistent connections, which can give another significant performance boost to Windows on Ansible (especially over HTTPS, as we don't have to repeat the TLS handshake for each WinRM request). In my testing, local VMs experienced about a 20% speed boost on small tasks, while remote VMs (eg, AWS instances) got more like a 50% speed boost to small tasks. File transfer performance (eg, win_copy) should also be noticeably improved again with this release, though I haven't benchmarked it.
