* The name of each role is now shown before each task if roles are being used

* Added `ansible_env` to the list of facts returned by the setup module.
* Added `state=touch` to the file module, which functions similarly to the command-line version of `touch`.
* Added a -vvvv level, which will show SSH client debugging information in the event of a failure.
* Includes now support the more standard syntax, similar to that of role includes and dependencies. It is no longer necessary to specify a special "vars" field for the variables passed to the include.
* Includes now support the more standard syntax, similar to that of role includes and dependencies.
* Changed the `user:` parameter on plays to `remote_user:` to prevent confusion with the module of the same name. Still backwards compatible on play parameters.
* Added parameter to allow the fetch module to skip the md5 validation step ('validate_md5=false'). This is usefull when fetching files that are actively being written to, such as live log files.
* Inventory hosts are used in the order they appear in the inventory.
* in hosts: foo[2-5] type syntax, the iterators now are zero indexed and the last index is non-inclusive, to match Python standards.
* There's now a way for a callback plugin to disable itself. See osx_say example code for an example.
* Many bugfixes to modules of all types.
* Complex arguments now can be used with async tasks
* SSH ControlPath is now configurable in ansible.cfg. There's a limit to the lengths of these paths, see how to shorten them in ansible.cfg.
* md5sum support on AIX with csum.
* Extremely large documentation refactor into subchapters
* Added 'append_privs' option to the mysql_user module
* Can now update (temporarily change) host variables using the "add_host" module for existing hosts.
* Fixes for IPv6 addresses in inventory text files
