+Ansible Changes By Release
+==========================
+
+1.3 "Top of the World" - Release pending!
+
+Major new features:
+
+* new /etc/ansible/facts.d allows JSON or INI style facts to be provided from the remote node, and supports executable fact programs in this dir. Files must end in *.fact.
+* ability to make undefined template variables raise errors, see ansible.cfg
+
+New modules:
+
+* notifications: datadog_event -- send data to datadog
+* cloud: digital_ocean -- module for digital ocean provisioning
+* cloud: rds -- Amazon relational database service
+
+Misc changes:
+
+* Added OpenRC support (Gentoo) to the service module
+* ansible_ssh_user value is available to templates
+* added placement_group parameter to ec2 module
+* new sha256 parameter to get_url module for validation
+* search for mount binaries in system path and sbin vs assuming path
+* allowed inventory file to be read from a pipe
+* added Solaris distribution facts
+* fixed bug along error path in quantum_network module
+* user password update mode is controllable in user module now (creation vs every time)
+* added check mode support to the OpenBSD package module
+* Fix for MySQL 5.6 compatibility
+* HP UX virtualization facts
+* fixed some executable bits in git
+* made rhn_register module compatible with EL5
+* fix for setup module epoch time in Solaris
+* sudo_user is now expanded later allowing to be set at inventory scope
+* mondodb_user module change to also support MongoDB 2.2
+* new state=hard option to the file module for hardlinks vs softlinks
+* fixes to apt module purging option behavior
+* fixes for device facts with multiple PCI domains
+* added "with_inventory_hostnames" lookup plugin, which can take a pattern and loop over hostnames matching the pattern and is great for use with delegate_to and so on.
+* ec2 module supports adding to multiple security groups
+
+1.2 "Right Now" -- June 10, 2013
+
+Core Features:
+
+* capability to set 'all_errors_fatal: True' in a playbook to force any error to stop execution versus
+  a whole group or serial block needing to fail
+  usable, without breaking the ability to override in ansible
+* ability to use variables from {{ }} syntax in mainline playbooks, new 'when' conditional, as detailed
+  in documentation.  Can disable old style replacements in ansible.cfg if so desired, but are still active
+  by default.
+* can set ansible_ssh_private_key_file as an inventory variable (similar to ansible_ssh_host, etc)
+* 'when' statement can be affixed to task includes to auto-affix the conditional to each task therein
+* cosmetic: "*****" banners in ansible-playbook output are now constant width
+* --limit can now be given a filename (--limit @filename) to constrain a run to a host list on disk
+* failed playbook runs will create a retry file in /var/tmp/ansible usable with --limit
+* roles allow easy arrangement of reusable tasks/handlers/files/templates
+* pre_tasks and post_tasks allow for separating tasks into blocks where handlers will fire around them automatically
+* "meta: flush_handler" task capability added for when you really need to force handlers to run
+* new --start-at-task option to ansible playbook allows starting at a specific task name in a long playbook
+* added a log file for ansible/ansible-playbook, set 'log_path' in the configuration file or ANSIBLE_LOG_PATH in environment
+* debug mode always outputs debug in playbooks, without needing to specify -v
+* external inventory script added for Spacewalk / Red Hat Satellite servers
+* It is now possible to feed JSON structures to --extra-vars.  Pass in a JSON dictionary/hash to feed in complex data.
+* group_vars/ and host_vars/ directories can now be kept alongside the playbook as well as inventory (or both!)
+* more filters: ability to say {{ foo|success }} and {{ foo|failed }} and when: foo|success and when: foo|failed
+* more filters: {{ path|basename }} and {{ path|dirname }}
+* lookup plugins now use the basedir of the file they have included from, avoiding needs of ../../../ in places and
+increasing the ease at which things can be reorganized.

+0.8 "Cathedral" -- Oct 19, 2012
+
+Highlighted Core Changes:
+
+* fireball mode -- ansible can bootstrap a ephemeral 0mq (zeromq) daemon that runs as a given user and expires after X period of time.  It is very fast.
+* playbooks with errors now return 2 on failure.  1 indicates a more fatal syntax error.  Similar for /usr/bin/ansible
+* server side action code (template, etc) are now fully pluggable
+* ability to write lookup plugins, like the code powering "with_fileglob" (see below)
+
+Other Core Changes:
+
+* ansible config file can also go in 'ansible.cfg' in cwd in addition to ~/.ansible.cfg and /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
+* fix for inventory hosts at API level when hosts spec is a list and not a colon delimited string
+* ansible-pull example now sets up logrotate for the ansible-pull cron job log
+* negative host matching (!hosts) fixed for external inventory script usage
+* internals: os.executable check replaced with utils function so it plays nice on AIX
+* Debian packaging now includes ansible-pull manpage
+* magic variable 'ansible_ssh_host' can override the hostname (great for usage with tunnels)
+* date command usage in build scripts fixed for OS X
+* don't use SSH agent with paramiko if a password is specified
+* make output be cleaner on multi-line command/shell errors
+* /usr/bin/ansible now prints things when tasks are skipped, like when creates= is used with -m command and /usr/bin/ansible
+* when trying to async a module that is not a 'normal' asyncable module, ansible will now let you know
+* ability to access inventory variables via 'hostvars' for hosts not yet included in any play, using on demand lookups
+* merged ansible-plugins, ansible-resources, and ansible-docs into the main project
+* you can set ANSIBLE_NOCOWS=1 if you want to disable cowsay if it is installed.  Though no one should ever want to do this!  Cows are great!
+* you can set ANSIBLE_FORCECOLOR=1 to force color mode even when running without a TTY
+* fatal errors are now properly colored red.
+* skipped messages are now cyan, to differentiate them from unchanged messages.
+* extensive documentation upgrades
+* delegate_action to localhost (aka local_action) will always use the local connection type
+
+Highlighted playbook changes:
+
+* is_set is available for use inside of an only_if expression:  is_set('ansible_eth0').  We intend to further upgrade this with a 'when'
+  keyword providing better options to 'only_if' in the next release.   Also is_unset('ansible_eth0')
+* playbooks can import playbooks in other directories and then be able to import tasks relative to them
+* FILE($path) now allows access of contents of file in a path, very good for use with SSH keys
+* similarly PIPE($command) will run a local command and return the results of executing this command
+* if all hosts in a play fail, stop the playbook, rather than letting the console log spool on by
+* only_if using register variables that are booleans now works in a boolean way like you'd expect
+* task includes now work with with_items (such as: include: path/to/wordpress.yml user=$item)
+* when using a $list variable with $var or ${var} syntax it will automatically join with commas
+* setup is not run more than once when we know it is has already been run in a play that included another play, etc
+* can set/override sudo and sudo_user on individual tasks in a play, defaults to what is set in the play if not present
+* ability to use with_fileglob to iterate over local file patterns
+* templates now use Jinja2's 'trim_blocks=True' to avoid stray newlines, small changes to templates may
+be required in rare cases.
+
+Other playbook changes:
+
+* to_yaml and from_yaml are available as Jinja2 filters
+* $group and $group_names are now accessible in with_items
+* where 'stdout' is provided a new 'stdout_lines' variable (type == list) is now generated and usable with with_items
+* when local_action is used the transport is automatically overridden to the local type
+* output on failed playbook commands is now nicely split for stderr/stdout and syntax errors
+* if local_action is not used and delegate_to was 127.0.0.1 or localhost, use local connection regardless
+* when running a playbook, and the statement has changed, prints 'changed:' now versus 'ok:' so it is obvious without colored mode
+* variables now usable within vars_prompt (just not host/group vars)
+* setup facts are now retained across plays (dictionary just gets updated as needed)
+* --sudo-user now works with --extra-vars
+* fix for multi_line strings with only_if
+
+New Modules:
+
+* ini_file module for manipulating INI files
+* new LSB facts (release, distro, etc)

+* vars_prompt now supports private password entry (see examples/playbooks/prompts.yml)

+* async handling improvements
