Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC4 for 2.1.2 is now available for testing.
This release candidate also adds the following fixes for bugs:
* Fixed a bug related to creation of retry files (#17456)
* Fixed a bug in the way include params are used when an include task is dynamic (#17064)
* Fixed a bug related to including blocks in an include task (#15963)
* Fixed a bug related to the use of hostvars internally when creating the connection plugin. This prevents things like variables using lookups from being evaluated unnecessarily (#17024)
* Fixed a bug where using a variable containing a list for the `hosts` of a play resulted in an list of lists (#16583)
* Fixed a bug where integer values would cause an error if a module param was of type `float` (no issue)
* Fixed a bug with net_template failing if src was not specified (#17726)
Module fixes:
* ini_file:
- Fixed a bug where option lines are now inserted before blank lines.
- Fixed a bug where leading whitespace prevented matches on options.
* Fixed a bug in iam_cert when dup_ok is used as a string.
* Fixed a bug in postgresql_db related to the changed logic when state=absent.
* Fixed a bug where single_transaction and quick were not passed into db_dump for the mysql_db module.
* Fixed several bugs with mount.
* Fixed several more minor bugs in extras modules.
