-in progress, details pending
+Major Changes:
 
 * Add a clone parameter to git module that allows you to get information about a remote repo even if it doesn't exist locally.
 * Safety changes: several modules have force parameters that defaulted to true.

 * Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more efficiently.

+## 1.9 "Dancing In the Street" - Mar 25, 2015
 
-* environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is inhertited by tasks, which can still overridde it.
+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:
-   * ternary: allows for trueval/falseval assignement dependint on conditional
-   * cartesian: returns the cartesian product of 2 lists

-   * checksum: uses the ansible internal checksum to return a hash from a string
-   * hash: get a hash from a string (md5, sha1, etc)
-   * password_hash: get a hash form as string that can be used as a password in the user module (and others)
-   * A whole set of ip/network manipulation filters: ipaddr,ipwrap,ipv4,ipv6ipsubnet,nthhost,hwaddr,macaddr
-
-* new lookup plugins (allow fetching data for use in plays):
-   * dig: does dns resolution and returns IPs.
-   * url: allows pulling data from a url.
+New Modules:
 
-* new callback plugins:
+* cryptab: manages linux encrypted block devices
+* gce_img:  for utilizing GCE image resources
+* gluster_volume: manage glusterfs volumes
+* haproxy: for the load balancer of same name
+* known_hosts: manages the ssh known_hosts file
+* lxc_container: manage lxc containers

+* pkg5:  installing and uninstalling packages on Solaris
+* pkg5_publisher: manages Solaris pkg5 repository configuration
+* postgresql_ext: manage postgresql extensions
+* snmp_facts: gather facts via snmp
+* svc: manages daemontools based services

-* module enhancements and notable changes
-  * vsphere_guest now supports deploying guests from a template
-  * Multiple new enhancements to the amazon web service modules:
-    * ec2 now applies all specified security groups when creating a new instance.  Previously it was only applying one
-    * ec2_vol gained the ability to specify the EBS volume type
-    * ec2_vol can now detach volumes by specifying instance=None
-    * Fix ec2_group to purge specific grants rather than whole rules
-    * Added tenancy support for the ec2 module
-    * rds module has gained the ability to manage tags and set charset and public accessibility
-    * ec2_snapshot module gained the capability to remove snapshots
-    * Add alias support for route53
-    * Add private_zones support to route53
-    * ec2_asg: Add wait_for_instances parameter that waits until an instance is ready before ending the ansible task
-  * gce gained the ip_forward parameter to forward ip packets
-  * disk_auto_delete parameter to gce that will remove the boot disk after an instance is destroyed
-  * gce can now spawn instances with no external ip
-  * gce_pd gained the ability to choose a disk type
-  * gce_net gained target_tags parameter for creating firewall rules
-  * rax module has new parameters for making use of a boot volume
-  * Add scheduler_hints to the nova_compute module for optional parameters
-  * Several important docker changes:
-    * restart_policy parameters to configure when the container automatically restarts
-    * If the docker client or server doesn't support an option, the task will now fail instead of silently ignoring the option
-    * Add insecure_registry parameter for connecting to registries via http
-    * New parameter to set a container's domainname
-    * Undeprecated docker_image module until there's replacement functionality
-    * Allow setting the container's pid namespace
-    * Add a pull parameter that chooses when ansible will look for more recent images in the registry
-    * docker module states have been greatly enhanced.  The reworked and new states are:
-      * present now creates but does not start containers
-      * restarted always restarts a container
-      * reloaded restarts a container if ansible detects that the configuration is different than what is spcified
-        * reloaded accounts for exposed ports, env vars, and volumes
-    * Can now connect to the docker server using TLS
-  * Many fixes for hardlink and softlink handling in file-related modules
-  * Implement user, group, mode, and selinux parameters for the unarchive module
-  * authorized_keys can now use url as a key source
-  * authorized_keys has a new exclusive paameter that determines if keys that weren't specified in the task
-  * The selinux module now sets the current running state to permissive if state='disabled'
-  * Can now set accounts to expire via the user module
-  * Overhaul of the service module to make code simpler and behave better for systems running several popular init systems
-  * yum module now has a parameter to refresh its cache of package metadata
-  * apt module gained a build_dep parameter to install a package's build dependencies
-  * Add parameters to the postgres modules to specify a unix socket to connect to the db
-  * The mount module now supports bind mounts
-  * django_manage can now handle 
-  * Add a clone parameter to git module that allows you to get information about a remote repo even if it doesn't exist locally.
-  * Add a refspec argument to the git module that allows pulling commits that aren't part of a branch
-  * Safety changes: several modules have force parameters that defaulted to true.
-    These have been changed to default to false so as not to accidentally lose
-    work.  Playbooks that depended on the former behaviour simply need to add
-    force=True to the task that needs it.  Affected modules:
-    * bzr: When local modifications exist in a checkout, the bzr module used to
-      default to removing the modifications on any operation.  Now the module
-      will not remove the modifications unless force=yes is specified.
-      Operations that depend on a clean working tree may fail unless force=yes is
-      added.
-    * git: When local modifications exist in a checkout, the git module will now
-      fail unless force is explictly specified.  Specifying force=yes will allow
-      the module to revert and overwrite local modifications to make git actions
-      succeed.
-    * hg: When local modifications exist in a checkout, the hg module used to
-      default to removing the modifications on any operation.  Now the module
-      will not remove the modifications unless force=yes is specified.
-    * subversion: When updating a checkout with local modifications, you now need
-      to add force=yes so the module will revert the modifications before updating.
