@@ -9,6 +9,8 @@ Ansible Changes By Release
 * The version and release facts for OpenBSD hosts were reversed.  This has been
   changed so that version has the numeric portion and release has the name of
   the release.
+* removed 'package' from default squash actions as not all package managers support it and it creates errors when using loops,
+  any user can add back via config options if they don't use those package managers or othewise avoid the errors.
 
 ###Deprecations:
 * Specifying --tags (or --skip-tags) multiple times on the command line
