Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC2 for 2.1.0 is now available for testing.
This updated release candidate fixes several bugs from RC1, including (but not limited to):
* Fixed several bugs related to the new ziploader method of executing modules on
remote systems.
* Fixed several bugs in strategies and with task iteration.
* Fixed a bug where "meta: refresh_inventory" was failing due to a host filtering pattern
* Fixed a bug where blocks with an "always" portion but no "rescue" were improperly
continuing after a failed task in the block.
* Fixed a bug with the combined use of set_fact and run_once.
* Fixed retry/until logic, where a task succeeding on the last iteration of the retry
would still be marked as failed regardless of success.
How do you get it?

You can also test against the git repository as follows:
$ cd ansible
$ git checkout v2.1.0.0-0.2.rc2
$ git submodule update --init
You can then source our testing script:
$ . hacking/env-setup
or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be dist/ansible-2.1.0.0.tar.gz):
$ make sdist
If you discover any errors, or if you see any regressions from playbooks which work on 1.9.x and prior, please open a Github issue and be sure to mention you're testing against this release candidate.
Thanks!
