features:
- A new global option to control all package install states has been
implemented. The default action for all distribution package
installations is to ensure that the latest package is installed.
This may be changed to only verify if the package is present by
setting ``package_state`` to ``present``.
upgrade:
- All roles always checks whether the latest package is installed
when executed. If a deployer wishes to change the check to
only validate the presence of the package, the option
``package_state`` should be set to ``present``.
