Release Summary
---------------
Regular feature and bugfix release with security fixes.
Minor Changes
-------------
- bitwarden lookup plugin - allows to fetch all records of a given collection ID, by allowing to pass an empty value for ``search_value`` when ``collection_id`` is provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8013).
- icinga2 inventory plugin - adds new parameter ``group_by_hostgroups`` in order to make grouping by Icinga2 hostgroups optional (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7998).
- ini_file - support optional spaces between section names and their surrounding brackets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8075).
- java_cert - enable ``owner``, ``group``, ``mode``, and other generic file arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8116).
- ldap_attrs - module now supports diff mode, showing which attributes are changed within an operation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8073).
- lxd_container - uses ``/1.0/instances`` API endpoint, if available. Falls back to ``/1.0/containers`` or ``/1.0/virtual-machines``. Fixes issue when using Incus or LXD 5.19 due to migrating to ``/1.0/instances`` endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7980).
- nmcli - allow setting ``MTU`` for ``bond-slave`` interface types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8118).
- proxmox - adds ``startup`` parameters to configure startup order, startup delay and shutdown delay (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8038).
- revbitspss lookup plugin - removed a redundant unicode prefix. The prefix was not necessary for Python 3 and has been cleaned up to streamline the code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8087).
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).
- consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091).
- homebrew - error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse empty JSON. Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error message to users (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8047).
- ipa_hbacrule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- ipa_sudorule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- iptables_state - fix idempotency issues when restoring incomplete iptables dumps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8029).
- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).
- 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).
- proxmox_kvm - fixed status check getting from node-specific API endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7817).
New Modules
-----------
- usb_facts - Allows listing information about USB devices
