+v8.2.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix and feature release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- ipa_dnsrecord - adds ability to manage NS record types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7737).
+- ipa_pwpolicy - refactor module and exchange a sequence ``if`` statements with a ``for`` loop (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7723).
+- ipa_pwpolicy - update module to support ``maxrepeat``, ``maxsequence``, ``dictcheck``, ``usercheck``, ``gracelimit`` parameters in FreeIPA password policies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7723).
+- keycloak_realm_key - the ``config.algorithm`` option now supports 8 additional key algorithms (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7698).
+- keycloak_realm_key - the ``config.certificate`` option value is no longer defined with ``no_log=True`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7698).
+- keycloak_realm_key - the ``provider_id`` option now supports RSA encryption key usage (value ``rsa-enc``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7698).
+- keycloak_user_federation - allow custom user storage providers to be set through ``provider_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7789).
+- mail - add ``Message-ID`` header; which is required by some mail servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7740).
+- mail module, mail callback plugin - allow to configure the domain name of the Message-ID header with a new ``message_id_domain`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7765).
+- ssh_config - new feature to set ``AddKeysToAgent`` option to ``yes`` or ``no`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7703).
+- ssh_config - new feature to set ``IdentitiesOnly`` option to ``yes`` or ``no`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7704).
+- xcc_redfish_command - added support for raw POSTs (``command=PostResource`` in ``category=Raw``) without a specific action info (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7746).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` processing was not idempotent if the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name (in ascending order). Fix resolves the issue by sorting mappers in the desired state using the same key which is used for obtaining existing state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
+- keycloak_identity_provider - it was not possible to reconfigure (add, remove) ``mappers`` once they were created initially. Removal was ignored, adding new ones resulted in dropping the pre-existing unmodified mappers. Fix resolves the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
+- keycloak_user - when ``force`` is set, but user does not exist, do not try to delete it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7696).
+- proxmox_kvm - running ``state=template`` will first check whether VM is already a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7792).
+- statusio_maintenance - fix error caused by incorrectly formed API data payload. Was raising "Failed to create maintenance HTTP Error 400 Bad Request" caused by bad data type for date/time and deprecated dict keys (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7754).
