-## 2.1 "The Song Remains the Same" - ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

+* 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.

+* Several fixes to the way async works to prevent race conditions and other bugs

+* More fixes to the way failed and unreachable hosts affect future plays

+* Fixed a bug in the way the to_json filter encoded some objects

+* Fixed a bug in the way roles and dependencies are loaded, and how they inherit params from parent roles.

+* Fixed a bug in which the number of retries in a do/until loop was off by one

+* Fixed a bug in the way the passwd lookup deals with salts

+* When using the local connection, internally the remote_user value is now forced to be the current user even if remote_user is specified, to prevent issues with become settings

+* Fix for Azure modules to work with most recent Azure python library (2.0.0rc5)

+* Fix for bug related to unreachable hosts and any_errors_fatal in the linear strategy

+* Fix for error handling in relation to killed/dead worker processes. If workers are killed via SIGKILL or SIGTERM, this will halt execution of the playbook.

+* Fixed a regression in the way we handle variables from dependent roles.

+* Added better handling for certain errors thrown from the cryptography.

+* Fixed a typo in the azure_rm_storageaccount module.

+* Fixed some minor bugs in the os_user_role and cs_volume modules.

+* Fixed a bug related to the return value of a low-level inventory API call related to getting variables for hosts and groups.
