      - The Google cloud inventory script ``gce.py`` has been migrated to the ``community.google``
        collection. Install the ``community.google`` collection in order to continue
        using it.
      - archive - remove path folder itself when ``remove`` paramater is true (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1041).
      - log_plays callback - add missing information to the logs generated by the
        callback plugin. This changes the log message format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
      - 'passwordstore lookup plugin - now parsing a password store entry as YAML
        if possible, skipping the first line (which by convention only contains the
        password and nothing else). If it cannot be parsed as YAML, the old ``key:
        value`` parser will be used to process the entry. Can break backwards compatibility
        if YAML formatted code was parsed in a non-YAML interpreted way, e.g. ``foo:
        [bar, baz]`` will become a list with two elements in the new version, but
        a string ``''[bar, baz]''`` in the old (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1673).'
      - 'pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: absent`` will no longer remove
        every installed package from the system. It is now a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).'
      - 'pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: latest`` or ``state: present``
        will no longer install every package from the configured package repositories.
        Instead, ``name: *, state: latest`` will upgrade all already-installed packages,
        and ``name: *, state: present`` is a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).'
      - proxmox_kvm - recognize ``force=yes`` in conjunction with ``state=absent``
        to forcibly remove a running VM (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/849).

      - passwordstore lookup plugin - fix compatibility with gopass when used with
        ``create=true``. While pass returns 1 on a non-existent password, gopass returns
        10, or 11, depending on whether a similar named password was stored. We now
        just check standard output and that the return code is not zero (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1589).

        modules in that collection, so we will remove these modules in community.general
        3.0.0. If you use Ansible 2.9, or use FQCNs ``community.general.gluster_*``
        in your playbooks and/or roles, please update them to use the modules from
        ``gluster.gluster`` instead.

  2.0.1:
    changes:
      breaking_changes:
      - utm_proxy_auth_profile - the ``frontend_cookie_secret`` return value now contains
        a placeholder string instead of the module's ``frontend_cookie_secret`` parameter
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1736).
      bugfixes:
      - filesystem - do not fail when ``resizefs=yes`` and ``fstype=xfs`` if there
        is nothing to do, even if the filesystem is not mounted. This only covers
        systems supporting access to unmounted XFS filesystems. Others will still
        fail (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1457,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1478).
      - gitlab_user - make updates to the ``isadmin``, ``password`` and ``confirm``
        options of an already existing GitLab user work (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1724).
      - parted - change the regex that decodes the partition size to better support
        different formats that parted uses. Change the regex that validates parted's
        version string (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1695).
      - redfish_info module, redfish_utils module utils - add ``Name`` and ``Id``
        properties to output of Redfish inventory commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1650).
      - sensu-silence module - fix json parsing of sensu API responses on Python 3.5
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1703).
      major_changes:
      - 'For community.general 3.0.0, the ``ome_device_info``, ``idrac_firmware``
        and ``idrac_server_config_profile`` modules will be moved to the `dellemc.openmanage
        <https://galaxy.ansible.com/dellemc/openmanage>`_ collection.

        A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer
        do not have to change anything.


        If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use the DellEMC modules mentioned above
        from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to
        use FQCNs starting with ``dellemc.openmanage.`` instead of ``community.general.``,

        for example replace ``community.general.ome_device_info`` in a task by ``dellemc.openmanage.ome_device_info``.


        If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely
        on the DellEMC modules mentioned above, you have to make sure to install the
        ``dellemc.openmanage`` collection as well.

        If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.general.ome_device_info``
        instead of ``ome_device_info``, it will continue working, but we still recommend
        to adjust the FQCNs as well.

        ``required_if``, ``required_together``, ``required_one_of`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1765).
      - proxmox_kvm - do not add ``args`` if ``proxmox_default_behavior`` is set to
        no_defaults  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1641).
      - proxmox_kvm - stop implicitly adding ``force`` equal to ``false``. Proxmox
        API requires not implemented parameters otherwise, and assumes ``force`` to
        be ``false`` by default anyways (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1783).
      - redhat_subscription - ``mutually_exclusive`` was referring to parameter alias
        instead of name (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1795).
      - riak - parameters ``wait_for_handoffs`` and ``wait_for_ring`` are ``int``
        but the default value was ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1830).
      - 'rundeck_acl_policy - internal refactoring: replaced uses of ``_`` with ``dummy``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1819).'
      - runit - removed unused code, and passing command as ``list`` instead of ``str``
        to ``run_command()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1830).
      - selective callback plugin - adjust import so that the plugin also works with
        ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1807).
      - 'statusio_maintenance - internal refactoring: replaced uses of ``_`` with
        ``dummy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1819).'
      - 'timezone - internal refactoring: replaced uses of ``_`` with ``dummy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1819).'
      - zfs_delegate_admin - the elements of ``users``, ``groups`` and ``permissions``
        are now enforced to be strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1766).
      deprecated_features:
      - xfconf - returning output as facts is deprecated, this will be removed in
        community.general 4.0.0. Please register the task output in a variable and
        use it instead. You can already switch to the new behavior now by using the
        new ``disable_facts`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1747).

        and no longer ``str``. A side effect is that certain expansions are made,
        like ``~`` is replaced by the user's home directory, and environment variables
        like ``$HOME`` or ``$TEMP`` are evaluated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1741).
