Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------
- collection_version lookup plugin - remove compatibility code for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- gitlab_project - add ``default_branch`` support for project update. If you used the module so far with ``default_branch`` to update a project, the value of ``default_branch`` was ignored. Make sure that you either do not pass a value if you are not sure whether it is the one you want to have to avoid unexpected breaking changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7158).
- selective callback plugin - remove compatibility code for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-core 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- vardict module utils - ``VarDict`` will no longer accept variables named ``_var``, ``get_meta``, and ``as_dict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6647).
- version module util - remove fallback for ansible-core 2.11. All modules and plugins that do version collections no longer work with ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
Deprecated Features
-------------------
- CmdRunner module utils - deprecate ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_default_type()`` formatter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6601).
- MH VarsMixin module utils - deprecates ``VarsMixin`` and supporting classes in favor of plain ``vardict`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6649).
- ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211`` options have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- consul - the ``ack_params_state_absent`` option has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- cpanm - value ``compatibility`` is deprecated as default for parameter ``mode`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6512).
- ejabberd_user - deprecate the parameter ``logging`` in favour of producing more detailed information in the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7043).
- flowdock - module relies entirely on no longer responsive API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6930).
- proxmox - old feature flag ``proxmox_default_behavior`` will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6836).
- proxmox_kvm - deprecate the option ``proxmox_default_behavior`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7377).
- redfish_info, redfish_config, redfish_command - the default value ``10`` for the ``timeout`` option is deprecated and will change to ``60`` in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7295).
- redhat module utils - the ``module_utils.redhat`` module is deprecated, as
effectively unused: the ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools`` classes
will be removed in community.general 9.0.0; the ``RegistrationBase`` class
will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 together with the
``rhn_register`` module, as it is the only user of this class; this means
that the whole ``module_utils.redhat`` module will be dropped in
community.general 10.0.0, so importing it without even using anything of it
will fail
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6663).
- redhat_subscription - the ``autosubscribe`` alias for the ``auto_attach`` option has been
deprecated for many years, although only in the documentation. Officially mark this alias
as deprecated, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6646).
- redhat_subscription - the ``pool`` option is deprecated in favour of the
more precise and flexible ``pool_ids`` option
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6650).
- rhsm_repository - ``state=present`` has not been working as expected for many years,
and it seems it was not noticed so far; also, "presence" is not really a valid concept
for subscription repositories, which can only be enabled or disabled. Hence, mark the
``present`` and ``absent`` values of the ``state`` option as deprecated, slating them
for removal in community.general 10.0.0
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6673).
- stackdriver - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6887).
- webfaction_app - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).

- webfaction_domain - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
- webfaction_mailbox - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
- webfaction_site - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).

- CmdRunner module utils - does not attempt to resolve path if executable is a relative or absolute path (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7200).
- MH DependencyMixin module utils - deprecation notice was popping up for modules not using dependencies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6644, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6639).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - the plugin made assumptions about the structure of a Bitwarden JSON object which may have been broken by an update in the Bitwarden API. Remove assumptions, and allow queries for general fields such as ``notes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7061).
- cmd_runner module utils - when a parameter in ``argument_spec`` has no type, meaning it is implicitly a ``str``, ``CmdRunner`` would fail trying to find the ``type`` key in that dictionary (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6968).
- cobbler inventory plugin - fix calculation of cobbler_ipv4/6_address (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6925).
- composer - fix impossible to run ``working_dir`` dependent commands.

2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- gitlab_project - add ``default_branch`` support for project update. If you
used the module so far with ``default_branch`` to update a project, the value
of ``default_branch`` was ignored. Make sure that you either do not pass a
value if you are not sure whether it is the one you want to have to avoid
unexpected breaking changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7158).
- selective callback plugin - remove compatibility code for Ansible 2.9 and
ansible-core 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- vardict module utils - ``VarDict`` will no longer accept variables named ``_var``,
``get_meta``, and ``as_dict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6647).

(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6512).

more detailed information in the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7043).

9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7295).
- 'redhat module utils - the ``module_utils.redhat`` module is deprecated, as
effectively unused: the ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools`` classes
will be removed in community.general 9.0.0; the ``RegistrationBase`` class
will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 together with the
``rhn_register`` module, as it is the only user of this class; this means
that the whole ``module_utils.redhat`` module will be dropped in

will fail
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6663).

concept
for subscription repositories, which can only be enabled or disabled. Hence,
mark the
``present`` and ``absent`` values of the ``state`` option as deprecated, slating
them
for removal in community.general 10.0.0
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6673).

others might not (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- ansible_galaxy_install - support for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 has
been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- consul - when ``state=absent``, the options ``script``, ``ttl``, ``tcp``,
``http``, and ``interval`` can no longer be specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- gconftool2 - ``state=get`` has been removed. Use the module ``community.general.gconftool2_info``
instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- gitlab_runner - remove the default value for the ``access_level`` option.
To restore the previous behavior, explicitly set it to ``ref_protected`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- htpasswd - removed code for passlib <1.6 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6901).
- manageiq_polices - ``state=list`` has been removed. Use the module ``community.general.manageiq_policies_info``
instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- manageiq_tags - ``state=list`` has been removed. Use the module ``community.general.manageiq_tags_info``
instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- mh.mixins.cmd module utils - the ``ArgFormat`` class has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- mh.mixins.cmd module utils - the ``CmdMixin`` mixin has been removed. Use
``community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner.CmdRunner`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- mh.mixins.cmd module utils - the mh.mixins.cmd module utils has been removed
after all its contents were removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- mh.module_helper module utils - the ``CmdModuleHelper`` and ``CmdStateModuleHelper``
classes have been removed. Use ``community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner.CmdRunner``
instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- proxmox module utils - removed unused imports (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6873).
- xfconf - the deprecated ``disable_facts`` option was removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).

rhsm_repository - ``state=present`` has not been working as expected for many years,
and it seems it was not noticed so far; also, "presence" is not really a valid concept

``present`` and ``absent`` values of the ``state`` option as deprecated, slating them
for removal in community.general 10.0.0
