Release Summary
---------------
Security and bugfix release.
Security Fixes
--------------
- cobbler, gitlab_runners, icinga2, linode, lxd, nmap, online, opennebula, proxmox, scaleway, stackpath_compute, virtualbox, and xen_orchestra inventory plugin - make sure all data received from the remote servers is marked as unsafe, so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated as templates is not possible (https://www.die-welt.net/2024/03/remote-code-execution-in-ansible-dynamic-inventory-plugins/, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8098).
Bugfixes
--------
- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
- pacemaker_cluster - actually implement check mode, which the module claims to support. This means that until now the module also did changes in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8081).
- pam_limits - when the file does not exist, do not create it in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8050, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8057).
