* bitwarden lookup plugin \- add <code>bw\_session</code> option\, to pass session key instead of reading from env \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7994](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7994)\)\.
* gitlab\_deploy\_key\, gitlab\_group\_members\, gitlab\_group\_variable\, gitlab\_hook\, gitlab\_instance\_variable\, gitlab\_project\_badge\, gitlab\_project\_variable\, gitlab\_user \- improve API pagination and compatibility with different versions of <code>python\-gitlab</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7790](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7790)\)\.
* gitlab\_hook \- adds <code>releases\_events</code> parameter for supporting Releases events triggers on GitLab hooks \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7956](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7956)\)\.
* icinga2 inventory plugin \- add Jinja2 templating support to <code>url</code>\, <code>user</code>\, and <code>password</code> paramenters \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7074](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7074)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7996](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7996)\)\.
* mssql\_script \- adds transactional \(rollback/commit\) support via optional boolean param <code>transaction</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7976](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7976)\)\.
* proxmox\_kvm \- add parameter <code>update\_unsafe</code> to avoid limitations when updating dangerous values \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7843](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7843)\)\.

### Bugfixes
* cargo \- fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages \(using the <code>\-\-path</code> parameter\)\. The initial installation runs fine\, but subsequent runs use the <code>get\_installed\(\)</code> function which did not check the given installation location\, before running <code>cargo install</code>\. This resulted in a false <code>changed</code> state\. Also the removal of packeges using <code>state\: absent</code> failed\, as the installation check did not use the given parameter \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970)\)\.
* gitlab\_issue \- fix behavior to search GitLab issue\, using <code>search</code> keyword instead of <code>title</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7846](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7846)\)\.
* gitlab\_runner \- fix pagination when checking for existing runners \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7790](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7790)\)\.
* keycloak\_client \- fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state when task is in check mode \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/1226](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/1226)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7881](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7881)\)\.
* modprobe \- listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError if <code>/etc/modprobe\.d</code> or <code>/etc/modules\-load\.d</code> did not exist\. Relevant functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid crashing the module \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7717](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7717)\)\.
* onepassword lookup plugin \- failed for fields that were in sections and had uppercase letters in the label/ID\. Field lookups are now case insensitive in all cases \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7919](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7919)\)\.
* pkgin \- pkgin \(pkgsrc package manager used by SmartOS\) raises erratic exceptions and spurious <code>changed\=true</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7971](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7971)\)\.
* redfish\_info \- allow for a GET operation invoked by <code>GetUpdateStatus</code> to allow for an empty response body for cases where a service returns 204 No Content \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8003](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8003)\)\.
* redfish\_info \- correct uncaught exception when attempting to retrieve <code>Chassis</code> information \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7952](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7952)\)\.

v8.4.0
======
Release Summary
---------------
Regular bugfix and feature release.
Minor Changes
-------------
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add ``bw_session`` option, to pass session key instead of reading from env (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7994).
- gitlab_deploy_key, gitlab_group_members, gitlab_group_variable, gitlab_hook, gitlab_instance_variable, gitlab_project_badge, gitlab_project_variable, gitlab_user - improve API pagination and compatibility with different versions of ``python-gitlab`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).
- gitlab_hook - adds ``releases_events`` parameter for supporting Releases events triggers on GitLab hooks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7956).
- icinga2 inventory plugin - add Jinja2 templating support to ``url``, ``user``, and ``password`` paramenters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7074, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7996).
- mssql_script - adds transactional (rollback/commit) support via optional boolean param ``transaction`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7976).
- proxmox_kvm - add parameter ``update_unsafe`` to avoid limitations when updating dangerous values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7843).
- redfish_config - add command ``SetServiceIdentification`` to set service identification (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7916).
- sudoers - add support for the ``NOEXEC`` tag in sudoers rules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7983).
- terraform - fix ``diff_mode`` in state ``absent`` and when terraform ``resource_changes`` does not exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7963).
Bugfixes
--------
- cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs fine, but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did not check the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``. This resulted in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges using ``state: absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the given parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7970).
- gitlab_issue - fix behavior to search GitLab issue, using ``search`` keyword instead of ``title`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7846).
- gitlab_runner - fix pagination when checking for existing runners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).
- keycloak_client - fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state when task is in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1226, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7881).
- modprobe - listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError if ``/etc/modprobe.d`` or ``/etc/modules-load.d`` did not exist. Relevant functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid crashing the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7717).
- onepassword lookup plugin - failed for fields that were in sections and had uppercase letters in the label/ID. Field lookups are now case insensitive in all cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7919).
- pkgin - pkgin (pkgsrc package manager used by SmartOS) raises erratic exceptions and spurious ``changed=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7971).
- redfish_info - allow for a GET operation invoked by ``GetUpdateStatus`` to allow for an empty response body for cases where a service returns 204 No Content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8003).
- redfish_info - correct uncaught exception when attempting to retrieve ``Chassis`` information (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7952).
