Ansible 2.1.1 RC4 is ready for testing

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, we're happy to announce that RC4 for 2.1.1 is now available for testing.

This release candidate fixes several more bugs since the RC3 release:

* 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.

How do you get it?

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git

$ cd ansible

$ git checkout v2.1.1.0-0.4.rc4

$ 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-2.1.1.0.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!
