    changes:
      breaking_changes:
      - newrelic_deployment - ``revision`` is required for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
      bugfixes:
      - Include ``PSF-license.txt`` file for ``plugins/module_utils/_mount.py``.
      - Include ``simplified_bsd.txt`` license file for various module utils, the
        ``lxca_common`` docs fragment, and the ``utm_utils`` unit tests.
      - alternatives - do not set the priority if the priority was not set by the
        user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4810).
      - alternatives - only pass subcommands when they are specified as module arguments
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4803, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4804,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4836).
      - alternatives - when ``subcommands`` is specified, ``link`` must be given for
        every subcommand. This was already mentioned in the documentation, but not
        enforced by the code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4836).
      - apache2_mod_proxy - avoid crash when reporting inability to parse balancer_member_page

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5393).
      - cmd_runner module utils - fix bug caused by using the ``command`` variable

        newlines in escaped form (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4700).

        for ``instered= false`` caused by Supermicro hardware that does not clear
        the ``ImageName`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4839).
      - redfish_command - the Supermicro Redfish implementation only supports the
        ``image_url`` parameter in the underlying API calls to ``VirtualMediaInsert``
        and ``VirtualMediaEject``. Any values set (or the defaults) for ``write_protected``
        or ``inserted`` will be ignored (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4839).
      - redfish_info - fix to ``GetChassisPower`` to correctly report power information

        missing Python libraries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4733).
      - slack - fix incorrect channel prefix ``#`` caused by incomplete pattern detection
        by adding ``G0`` and ``GF`` as channel ID patterns (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5019).
      - slack - fix message update for channels which start with ``CP``. When ``message-id``
        was passed it failed for channels which started with ``CP`` because the ``#``
        symbol was added before the ``channel_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5249).
      - sudoers - ensure sudoers config files are created with the permissions requested
        by sudoers (0440) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4814).
      - 'sudoers - fix incorrect handling of ``state: absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4852).'

        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5151).
      - virtualbox inventory plugin - skip parsing values with keys that have both
        a value and nested data. Skip parsing values that are nested more than two
        keys deep (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5332,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5348).
      - xcc_redfish_command - for compatibility due to Redfish spec changes the virtualMedia
        resource location changed from Manager to System (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4682).
      - xenserver_facts - fix broken ``AnsibleModule`` call that prevented the module
        from working at all (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5383).
      - xfconf - fix setting of boolean values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4999,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5007).
      - zfs - fix wrong quoting of properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4707,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4726).
      deprecated_features:

        util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
      - CmdStateModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner``
        module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
      - cmd_runner module utils - deprecated ``fmt`` in favour of ``cmd_runner_fmt``
        as the parameter format object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4777).
      - django_manage - support for Django releases older than 4.1 has been deprecated
        and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
      - django_manage - support for the commands ``cleanup``, ``syncdb`` and ``validate``
        that have been deprecated in Django long time ago will be removed in community.general
        9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
      - django_manage - the behavior of "creating the virtual environment when missing"
        is being deprecated and will be removed in community.general version 9.0.0
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5405).
      - gconftool2 - deprecates ``state=get`` in favor of using the module ``gconftool2_info``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4778).
      - lxc_container - the module will no longer make any effort to support Python
        2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5304).
      - newrelic_deployment - ``appname`` and ``environment`` are no longer valid
        options in the v2 API. They will be removed in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
      - proxmox - deprecated the current ``unprivileged`` default value, will be changed
        to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/pull/5224).
      - xfconf - deprecated parameter ``disable_facts``, as since version 4.0.0 it
        only allows value ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4520).
      major_changes:
      - The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action
        plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but
        instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users
        *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result
        in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the
        redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change.
        Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these
        internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change
        back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors
        in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
      - newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5065).
      - All software licenses are now in the ``LICENSES/`` directory of the collection
        root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5065,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5079, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5080,
