+    changes:
+      bugfixes:
+      - git_config - fix behavior of ``state=absent`` if ``value`` is present (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8436,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8452).
+      - homebrew - do not fail when brew prints warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8406,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7044).
+      - keycloak_client - fix TypeError when sanitizing the ``saml.signing.private.key``
+        attribute in the module's diff or state output. The ``sanitize_cr`` function
+        expected a dict where in some cases a list might occur (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8403).
+      - keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``attributes`` and ``protocol_mappers``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8496).
+      - launched - correctly report changed status in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8406).
+      - opennebula inventory plugin - fix invalid reference to IP when inventory runs
+        against NICs with no IPv4 address (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8489).
+      - opentelemetry callback - do not save the JSON response when using the ``ansible.builtin.uri``
+        module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8430).
+      - opentelemetry callback - do not save the content response when using the ``ansible.builtin.slurp``
+        module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8430).
+      - paman - do not fail if an empty list of packages has been provided and there
+        is nothing to do (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8514).
+      known_issues:
+      - homectl - the module does not work under Python 3.13 or newer, since it relies
+        on the removed ``crypt`` standard library module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4691,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8497).
+      - udm_user - the module does not work under Python 3.13 or newer, since it relies

+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8497).
