Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC1 for 2.1.1 is now available for testing.
This release candidate fixes many bugs, including (but not limited to): * Fixed some bugs in variable dependency resolution. These were mainly related to includes and roles, to bringe the VariableManager code in-line with our documentation. * Fixed a bug in unarchive, when the destination was a symlinked directory. * Fixed a bug related to performance when loading a large number of groups. * Fixed bugs related to the way host and group vars are loaded, which (for large sets of inventory variables) can reduce CPU and memory usage by 50%. * Fixed a bug where includes were not being implicitly evaluated as static when no loop or variables were being used. * Fixed several more bugs in relation to the way play execution continues or halts when hosts fail, to bringe the behavior more in line with 1.9.x. * Fixed bugs related to the use of the underlying shell executable with the script and raw modules. * Fixed several bugs in relation to the way ssh keys were used with various networking modules. * Fixed a bug related to the way handlers are tracked internally, which could cause bugs when roles are reused within the same play (allow_duplicates: yes) or when the role dependencies formed a "diamond" pattern. * Fixed a bug related to setfacl on platforms which do not support the -R option for recursive changes. * Many other bug fixes in core/extras modules.
