Plugins
=======
* Connection plugins have been standardized to allow use of ``ansible_<conn-type>_user``
and ``ansible_<conn-type>_password`` variables. Variables such as
``ansible_<conn-type>_pass`` and ``ansible_<conn-type>_username`` are treated
with lower priority than the standardized names and may be deprecated in the
future. In general, the ``ansible_user`` and ``ansible_password`` vars should
be used unless there is a reason to use the connection-specific variables.
* The ``powershell`` shell plugin now uses ``async_dir`` to define the async path for the results file and the default
has changed to ``%USERPROFILE%\.ansible_async``. To control this path now, either set the ``ansible_async_dir``
variable or the ``async_dir`` value in the ``powershell`` section of the config ini.
