* added the ability to make undefined template variables raise errors (see ansible.cfg)
* (DOCS PENDING) sudo: True/False and sudo_user: True/False can be set at include and role level
* added changed_when: (expression) which allows overriding whether a result is changed or not and can work with registered expressions

* --extra-vars can now take a file as input, e.g., "-e @filename" and can also be formatted as YAML
* external inventory scripts may now return host variables in one pass, which allows them to be much more efficient for large numbers of hosts

* enabled error_on_undefined_vars by default, which will make errors in playbooks more obvious
* role dependencies -- one role can now pull in another, with parameters of its own.
* added the ability to have tasks execute even during a check run (always_run)
