+## 1.9 "Dancing In the Street" - Mar 25, 2015
+
+Major changes:
 
 * Added kerberos support to winrm connection plugin.
-
 * Tags rehaul: added 'all', 'always', 'untagged' and 'tagged' special tags and normalized
   tag resolution. Added tag information to --list-tasks and new --list-tags option.
-
 * Privilege Escalation generalization, new 'Become' system and variables  now will
   handle existing and new methods. Sudo and su have been kept for backwards compatibility.
   New methods pbrun and pfexec in 'alpha' state, planned adding 'runas' for winrm connection plugin.
-
 * Improved ssh connection error reporting, now you get back the specific message from ssh.
-
 * Added facility to document task module return values for registered vars, both for
   ansible-doc and the docsite. Documented copy, stats and acl modules, the rest must be
   updated individually (we will start doing so incrementally).
-
 * Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more efficiently.
   For some use cases this can lead to dramatic improvements in startup time.
-
 * Overhaul of the checksum system, now supports more systems and more cases more reliably and uniformly.
-
 * Fix skipped tasks to not display their parameters if no_log is specified.
-
 * Many fixes to unicode support, standarized functions to make it easier to add to input/output boundries.
-
 * Added travis integration to github for basic tests, this should speed up ticket triage and merging.
-
 * environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is inhertited by tasks, which can still overridde it.
-
 * expanded facts and OS/distribution support for existing facts and improved performance with pypy.
-
 * new 'wantlist' option to lookups allows for selecting a list typed variable vs a commad delimited string as the return.
-
 * the shared module code for file backups now uses a timestamp resolution of seconds (previouslly minutes).
-
 * allow for empty inventories, this is now a warning and not an error (for those using localhost and cloud modules).
-
 * sped up YAML parsing in ansible by up to 25% by switching to CParser loader.
 
-* new filters:
