0.6 "Cabo" ------------ pending
* inventory file can use a line of the form base[beg:end]tail to define a
set of hosts, where [beg:end] defines a numerical range. 'beg' can be a
a string padded with zero(s) to the left. If so provided, it acts as
a formatting hint during hostname expansion. The hint must be confirmed
by having an 'end' that has the same length as 'beg'
* groups variable available as a hash to return the hosts in each group name
* fetch module now does not fail a system when requesting file paths (ex: logs) that don't exist
* apt module now takes an optional install-recommends=yes|no (default yes)

Ansible stores the hosts it can potentially operate on in an inventory
file\&. The syntax is one host per line\&. Optionally, ansible can use a
line of the form base[beg:end]tail to define a set of hosts, where
[beg:end] defines a numerical range. If 'beg' is left out, it
defaults to 0\&. An example: mail[1:6].example.com, where 'head'
is 'mail', 'beg' is 1, 'end' is 6, and 'tail' is '.example.com'\&. In
addition, 'beg' can be a a string padded with zero(s) to the left. If so
provided, it acts as a formatting hint during hostname expansion. The usage
must be confirmed by having an 'end' that has the same length as 'beg',
else an exception is raised. An example: mail[001:003].example.com is to be
expanded to mail001.example.com, mail002.example.com, and
mail003.example.com\&. Groups headers are allowed and are included on their
own line, enclosed in square brackets\&.
