@@ -77,6 +77,8 @@ Ansible Changes By Release
 * Add an encoding parameter for the replace module so that it can operate on non-utf-8 files
 * By default, Ansible now uses the cryptography module to implement vault instead of the older pycrypto module.
 * Changed task state resulting from both `rc` and `failed` fields returned, 'rc' no longer overrides 'failed'. Test plugins have also been updated accordingly.
+* The win_unzip module no longer includes dictionary 'win_unzip' in its results,
+  the content is now directly in the resulting output, like pretty much every other module.

 notes:
+- This module is not really idempotent, it will extract the archive every time, and report a change.
 - For extracting any compression types other than .zip, the PowerShellCommunityExtensions (PSCX) Module is required.  This module (in conjunction with PSCX)
   has the ability to recursively unzip files within the src zip file provided and also functionality for many other compression types. If the destination
   directory does not exist, it will be created before unzipping the file.  Specifying rm parameter will force removal of the src file after extraction.
 - For non-Windows targets, use the M(unarchive) module instead.
