in progress, details pending
* Tags rehaul: added '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 varialbes 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).
* Add a clone parameter to git module that allows you to get information about a remote repo even if it doesn't exist locally.

* 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.

* the shared module code for file backups now uses a timestamp resolution of seconds (previouslly minutes).
* new filters:
* ternary: allows for trueval/falseval assignement dependint on conditional
* cartesian: returns the cartesian product of 2 lists
* to_uuid: given a string it will return an ansible domain specific UUID
* 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 callback plugins:
* syslog_json: allows logging play output to a syslog network server using json format
* new task modules:
* Many documentation additions and fixes.
