- that have been deprecated in Django long time ago will be removed in community.general
- 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
- - django_manage - the behavior of "creating the virtual environment when missing"
- is being deprecated and will be removed in community.general version 9.0.0
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5405).
- - gconftool2 - deprecates ``state=get`` in favor of using the module ``gconftool2_info``
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4778).
- - lxc_container - the module will no longer make any effort to support Python
- 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5304).
- - newrelic_deployment - ``appname`` and ``environment`` are no longer valid
- options in the v2 API. They will be removed in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).

- major_changes:
- - The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action
- plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but
- instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users
- *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result
- in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the
- redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change.
- Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these
- internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change
- back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors
- in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
