Ansible 2.3.0 RC4 is available for testing!

[James Cammarata]

We are happy to announce the availability of Ansible 2.3.0 RC4!

This release candidate fixes a few more last minute bugs, including a lot of small fixes in networking and windows modules.

* Using "runas" as a become method is marked as "experimental", due to some caveats.

* Fixed a bug in handler notifications which lead to handlers being run multiple times in some situations.

* Re-added proxysql modules, which had been added well before the module cut-off but removed due to some CI issues.

This should hopefully be the last RC before the final 2.3.0 release, so please be sure to test things out and report any bugs ASAP!

How do you get it?

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!
