* 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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7074](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7074)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7996](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7996)\)\.

<a id="bugfixes"></a>
### 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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7952](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7952)\)\.

<a id="bugfixes-2"></a>
### Bugfixes

* keycloak\_identity\_provider \- <code>mappers</code> 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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418)\)\.

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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418)\)\.
* keycloak\_user \- when <code>force</code> is set\, but user does not exist\, do not try to delete it \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7696](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7696)\)\.

Was raising \"Failed to create maintenance HTTP Error 400 Bad Request\" caused by bad data type for date/time and deprecated dict keys \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7754](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7754)\)\.
