Packaging for Debian, Gentoo, and Arch
Improvements to the apt and yum modules

SELinux support for the file module
Ability to use facts from other systems in templates (aka exported resources like support)
Built in Ansible facts so you don't need ohai, facter, or Ruby
tempdir selections that work with noexec mounted /tmp
templates happen locally, not remotely, so no dependency on python-jinja2 for remote computers

variables in playbooks can be structured/nested versus just a flat namespace
manpage upgrades (docs)
various bugfixes
can specify a default --user for playbooks rather than specifying it in the playbook file
able to specify ansible port in ansible host file (see docs)
refactored Inventory API to make it easier to write scripts using Ansible

support for using sudo with a password
module arguments can be unicode
A local connection type, --connection=local, for use with cron or in kickstarts
better module debugging with -D
