Ansible Changes By Release
==========================
## 1.9 "Dancing In the Street" - ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
## 2.0 "TBD" - ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
in progress, details pending
Major Changes:
* Add a clone parameter to git module that allows you to get information about a remote repo even if it doesn't exist locally.
* Safety changes: several modules have force parameters that defaulted to true.

* Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more efficiently.
For some use cases this can lead to dramatic improvements in startup time.
* Fix skipped tasks to not display their parameters if no_log is specified.
New Modules:
* Many fixes to unicode support, standarized functions to make it easier to add to input/output boundries.
Other Notable Changes:
* Added travis integration to github for basic tests, this should speed up ticket triage and merging.
## 1.9 "Dancing In the Street" - Mar 25, 2015
* environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is inhertited by tasks, which can still overridde it.
Major changes:
* Added kerberos support to winrm connection plugin.
* Tags rehaul: added 'all', 'always', 'untagged' and 'tagged' special tags and normalized
tag resolution. Added tag information to --list-tasks and new --list-tags option.
* Privilege Escalation generalization, new 'Become' system and variables now will
handle existing and new methods. Sudo and su have been kept for backwards compatibility.
New methods pbrun and pfexec in 'alpha' state, planned adding 'runas' for winrm connection plugin.
* Improved ssh connection error reporting, now you get back the specific message from ssh.
* Added facility to document task module return values for registered vars, both for
ansible-doc and the docsite. Documented copy, stats and acl modules, the rest must be
updated individually (we will start doing so incrementally).
* Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more efficiently.
For some use cases this can lead to dramatic improvements in startup time.
* Overhaul of the checksum system, now supports more systems and more cases more reliably and uniformly.
* Fix skipped tasks to not display their parameters if no_log is specified.
* Many fixes to unicode support, standarized functions to make it easier to add to input/output boundries.
* Added travis integration to github for basic tests, this should speed up ticket triage and merging.
* environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is inhertited by tasks, which can still overridde it.
* expanded facts and OS/distribution support for existing facts and improved performance with pypy.
* new 'wantlist' option to lookups allows for selecting a list typed variable vs a commad delimited string as the return.
* the shared module code for file backups now uses a timestamp resolution of seconds (previouslly minutes).
* allow for empty inventories, this is now a warning and not an error (for those using localhost and cloud modules).
* sped up YAML parsing in ansible by up to 25% by switching to CParser loader.
* new filters:
* ternary: allows for trueval/falseval assignement dependint on conditional
* cartesian: returns the cartesian product of 2 lists
* to_uuid: given a string it will return an ansible domain specific UUID
* checksum: uses the ansible internal checksum to return a hash from a string
* hash: get a hash from a string (md5, sha1, etc)
* password_hash: get a hash form as string that can be used as a password in the user module (and others)
* A whole set of ip/network manipulation filters: ipaddr,ipwrap,ipv4,ipv6ipsubnet,nthhost,hwaddr,macaddr
New Modules:
* new lookup plugins (allow fetching data for use in plays):
* cryptab: manages linux encrypted block devices
* gce_img: for utilizing GCE image resources
* gluster_volume: manage glusterfs volumes
* haproxy: for the load balancer of same name
* known_hosts: manages the ssh known_hosts file
* lxc_container: manage lxc containers
* patch: allows for patching files on target systems
* pkg5: installing and uninstalling packages on Solaris
* pkg5_publisher: manages Solaris pkg5 repository configuration
* postgresql_ext: manage postgresql extensions
* snmp_facts: gather facts via snmp
* svc: manages daemontools based services
* uptimerobot: manage monitoring with this service

* Several source control modules had force parameters that defaulted to true.
These have been changed to default to false so as not to accidentally lose
work. Playbooks that depended on the former behaviour simply need to add
force=True to the task that needs it. Affected modules:
