+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- ansible-pull now will expand relative paths for the ``-d|--directory`` option is now expanded before use.
+- flush_handlers - properly handle a handler failure in a nested block when ``force_handlers`` is set (http://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81532)
+- module no_log will no longer affect top level booleans, for example ``no_log_module_parameter='a'`` will no longer hide ``changed=False`` as a 'no log value' (matches 'a').
+- modules/user.py - Add check for valid directory when creating new user homedir (allows /dev/null as skeleton) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75063)
+- role params now have higher precedence than host facts again, matching documentation, this had unintentionally changed in 2.15.
+- wait_for should not handle 'non mmapable files' again.
