    changes:
      breaking_changes:
      - newrelic_deployment - ``revision`` is required for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).

      - 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).

        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:
      - ArgFormat module utils - deprecated along ``CmdMixin``, in favor of the ``cmd_runner_fmt``
        module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
      - CmdMixin module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module util
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
      - CmdModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module
        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,

    changes:
      bugfixes:

  6.1.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
      - chroot connection plugin - add ``inventory_hostname`` to vars under ``remote_addr``.
        This is needed for compatibility with ansible-core 2.13 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5570).
      - cmd_runner module utils - fixed bug when handling default cases in ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map()``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538).
      - cmd_runner module utils - formatting arguments ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed()``
        was expecting an non-existing argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538).
      - keycloak_client_rolemapping - calculate ``proposed`` and ``after`` return
        values properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
      - keycloak_client_rolemapping - remove only listed mappings with ``state=absent``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
      - proxmox inventory plugin - fix bug while templating when using templates for
        the ``url``, ``user``, ``password``, ``token_id``, or ``token_secret`` options
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5640).
      - proxmox inventory plugin - handle tags delimited by semicolon instead of comma,
        which happens from Proxmox 7.3 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5602).
      - redhat_subscription - do not ignore ``consumer_name`` and other variables
        if ``activationkey`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3486,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5627).
      - redhat_subscription - do not pass arguments to ``subscription-manager register``
        for things already configured; now a specified ``rhsm_baseurl`` is properly
        set for subscription-manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5583).
      - unixy callback plugin - fix plugin to work with ansible-core 2.14 by using
        Ansible's configuration manager for handling options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5600).
      - vdo - now uses ``yaml.safe_load()`` to parse command output instead of the
        deprecated ``yaml.load()`` which is potentially unsafe. Using ``yaml.load()``
        without explicitely setting a ``Loader=`` is also an error in pyYAML 6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5632).
      - vmadm - fix for index out of range error in ``get_vm_uuid`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5628).
      deprecated_features:
      - The ``sap`` modules ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query``,
        will be removed from this collection in community.general 7.0.0 and replaced
        with redirects to ``community.sap_libs``. If you want to continue using these
        modules, make sure to also install ``community.sap_libs`` (it is part of the
        Ansible package) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5614).
      minor_changes:
      - cmd_runner module utils - ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool()`` can now take an extra
        parameter to format when value is false (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5647).
      - gconftool2 - refactor using ``ModuleHelper`` and ``CmdRunner`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5545).
      - java_certs - add more detailed error output when extracting certificate from
        PKCS12 fails (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5550).
      - jenkins_plugin - refactor code to module util to fix sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5565).
      - lxd_project - refactored code out to module utils to clear sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5549).
      - nmap inventory plugin - add new options ``udp_scan``, ``icmp_timestamp``,
        and ``dns_resolve`` for different types of scans (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5566).
      - rax_scaling_group - refactored out code to the ``rax`` module utils to clear
        the sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5563).
      - redfish_command - add ``PerformRequestedOperations`` command to perform any
        operations necessary to continue the update flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
      - redfish_command - add ``update_apply_time`` to ``SimpleUpdate`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3910).
      - redfish_command - add ``update_status`` to output of ``SimpleUpdate`` command
        to allow a user monitor the update in progress (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
      - redfish_info - add ``GetUpdateStatus`` command to check the progress of a
        previous update request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
      - redfish_utils module utils - added PUT (``put_request()``) functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5490).
      - slack - add option ``prepend_hash`` which allows to control whether a ``#``
        is prepended to ``channel_id``. The current behavior (value ``auto``) is to
        prepend ``#`` unless some specific prefixes are found. That list of prefixes
        is incomplete, and there does not seem to exist a documented condition on
        when exactly ``#`` must not be prepended. We recommend to explicitly set ``prepend_hash=always``
        or ``prepend_hash=never`` to avoid any ambiguity (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5629).
      - spotinst_aws_elastigroup - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list``
        parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5553).
      - ssh_config - add ``host_key_algorithms`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5605).
      - udm_share - added ``elements`` attribute to ``list`` type parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5557).
      - udm_user - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5559).

    changes:
      breaking_changes:
      - 'ModuleHelper module utils - when the module sets output variables named ``msg``,
        ``exception``, ``output``, ``vars``, or ``changed``, the actual output will
        prefix those names with ``_`` (underscore symbol) only when they clash with
        output variables generated by ModuleHelper itself, which only occurs when
        handling exceptions. Please note that this breaking change does not require
        a new major release since before this release, it was not possible to add
        such variables to the output `due to a bug <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755>`__
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5765).

        '
      bugfixes:
      - ModuleHelper - fix bug when adjusting the name of reserved output variables
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755).
      - alternatives - support subcommands on Fedora 37, which uses ``follower`` instead
        of ``slave`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5794).
      - bitwarden lookup plugin - clarify what to do, if the bitwarden vault is not
        unlocked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5811).
      - dig lookup plugin - correctly handle DNSKEY record type's ``algorithm`` field

      - gem - fix force parameter not being passed to gem command when uninstalling
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5822).
      - gem - fix hang due to interactive prompt for confirmation on specific version
        uninstall (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5751).
      - gitlab_deploy_key - also update ``title`` and not just ``can_push`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5888).
      - keycloak_user_federation - fixes federation creation issue. When a new federation
        was created and at the same time a default / standard mapper was also changed
        / updated the creation process failed as a bad None set variable led to a
        bad malformed url request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5750).
      - 'keycloak_user_federation - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases
        the module could fail to properly detect already existing user federations
        because of a buggy seemingly superflous extra query parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5732).

        '
      - loganalytics callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``,
        it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).

        was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
      - nsupdate - fix zone lookup. The SOA record for an existing zone is returned
        as an answer RR and not as an authority RR (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5817,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5818).
      - proxmox_disk - fixed issue with read timeout on import action (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5803).
      - redfish_utils - removed basic auth HTTP header when performing a GET on the
        service root resource and when performing a POST to the session collection
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5886).
      - splunk callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was
        incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
      - sumologic callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it

        key in the ``workspace_ctf`` object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
      - terraform - fix ``terraform init`` failure when there are multiple workspaces
        on the remote backend and when ``default`` workspace is missing by setting
        ``TF_WORKSPACE`` environmental variable to the value of ``workspace`` when
        used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
      - terraform module - disable ANSI escape sequences during validation phase (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5843).
      - xml - fixed a bug where empty ``children`` list would not be set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5808).
      deprecated_features:
      - consul - deprecate using parameters unused for ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5772).
      - gitlab_runner - the default of the new option ``access_level_on_creation``
        will change from ``false`` to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0. This will
        cause ``access_level`` to be used during runner registration as well, and
        not only during updates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5908).
      minor_changes:
      - apache2_module - add module argument ``warn_mpm_absent`` to control whether
        warning are raised in some edge cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5793).

      - gitlab_project - add ``builds_access_level``, ``container_registry_access_level``
        and ``forking_access_level`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5706).
      - gitlab_runner - add new boolean option ``access_level_on_creation``. It controls,
        whether the value of ``access_level`` is used for runner registration or not.
        The option ``access_level`` has been ignored on registration so far and was
        only used on updates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5907,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5908).
      - ilo_redfish_utils module utils - change implementation of DNS Server IP and
        NTP Server IP update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5804).

      - snap_alias - refactored module to use ``CmdRunner`` to execute ``snap`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5486).
      - sudoers - add ``setenv`` parameters to support passing environment variables
        via sudo. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5883)

      deprecated_features:
      - gitlab_runner - the option ``access_level`` will lose its default value in

  6.5.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
      - archive - avoid deprecated exception class on Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6180).
      - gitlab_runner - fix ``KeyError`` on runner creation and update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6112).
      - influxdb_user - fix running in check mode when the user does not exist yet
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6111).
      - interfaces_file - fix reading options in lines not starting with a space (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6120).
      - jail connection plugin - add ``inventory_hostname`` to vars under ``remote_addr``.
        This is needed for compatibility with ansible-core 2.13 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6118).
      - memset - fix memset urlerror handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6114).
      - nmcli - fixed idempotency issue for bridge connections. Module forced default
        value of ``bridge.priority`` to nmcli if not set; if ``bridge.stp`` is disabled
        nmcli ignores it and keep default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3216,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4683).
      - nmcli - fixed idempotency issue when module params is set to ``may_fail4=false``
        and ``method4=disabled``; in this case nmcli ignores change and keeps their
        own default value ``yes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6106).
      - nmcli - implemented changing mtu value on vlan interfaces (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4387).
      - opkg - fixes bug when using ``update_cache=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6004).
      - redhat_subscription, rhsm_release, rhsm_repository - cleanly fail when not
        running as root, rather than hanging on an interactive ``console-helper``
        prompt; they all interact with ``subscription-manager``, which already requires
        to be run as root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/734,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6211).
      - xenorchestra inventory plugin - fix failure to receive objects from server
        due to not checking the id of the response (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6227).
      - yarn - fix ``global=true`` to not fail when `executable` wasn't specified
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6132)
      - yarn - fixes bug where yarn module tasks would fail when warnings were emitted
        from Yarn. The ``yarn.list`` method was not filtering out warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6127).
      minor_changes:
      - apt_rpm - adds ``clean``, ``dist_upgrade`` and ``update_kernel``  parameters
        for clear caches, complete upgrade system, and upgrade kernel packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5867).
      - dconf - parse GVariants for equality comparison when the Python module ``gi.repository``
        is available (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6049).
      - gitlab_runner - allow to register group runner (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3935).
      - jira - add worklog functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6209,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6210).
      - ldap modules - add ``ca_path`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6185).
      - make - add ``command`` return value to the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6160).
      - nmap inventory plugin - add new option ``open`` for only returning open ports
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6200).
      - nmap inventory plugin - add new option ``port`` for port specific scan (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6165).
      - nmcli - add ``default`` and ``default-or-eui64`` to the list of valid choices
        for ``addr_gen_mode6`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5974).
      - nmcli - add support for ``team.runner-fast-rate`` parameter for ``team`` connections
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6065).
      - openbsd_pkg - set ``TERM`` to ``'dumb'`` in ``execute_command()`` to make
        module less dependant on the ``TERM`` environment variable set on the Ansible
        controller (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6149).
      - pipx - optional ``install_apps`` parameter added to install applications from
        injected packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6198).
      - proxmox_kvm - add new ``archive`` parameter. This is needed to create a VM
        from an archive (backup) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6159).
      - redfish_info - adds commands to retrieve the HPE ThermalConfiguration and
        FanPercentMinimum settings from iLO (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6208).
      - redhat_subscription - credentials (``username``, ``activationkey``, and so
        on) are required now only if a system needs to be registered, or ``force_register``
        is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5664).
      - redhat_subscription - the registration is done using the D-Bus ``rhsm`` service
        instead of spawning a ``subscription-manager register`` command, if possible;
        this avoids passing plain-text credentials as arguments to ``subscription-manager
        register``, which can be seen while that command runs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6122).
      - ssh_config - add ``proxyjump`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5970).
      - ssh_config - vendored StormSSH's config parser to avoid having to install

  6.6.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
      - archive - reduce RAM usage by generating CRC32 checksum over chunks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6274).
      - flatpak - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could
        fail to properly detect already existing Flatpaks because of a parameter witch
        only checks the installed apps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6289).
      - icinga2_host - fix the data structure sent to Icinga to make use of host templates
        and template vars (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6286).
      - idrac_redfish_command - allow user to specify ``resource_id`` for ``CreateBiosConfigJob``
        to specify an exact manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2090).
      - ini_file - make ``section`` parameter not required so it is possible to pass
        ``null`` as a value. This only was possible in the past due to a bug in ansible-core
        that now has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6404).
      - keycloak - improve error messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6318).
      - one_vm - fix syntax error when creating VMs with a more complex template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6225).
      - pipx - fixed handling of ``install_deps=true`` with ``state=latest`` and ``state=upgrade``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6303).
      - redhat_subscription - do not use D-Bus for registering when ``environment``
        is specified, so it possible to specify again the environment names for registering,
        as the D-Bus APIs work only with IDs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6319).
      - redhat_subscription - try to unregister only when already registered when
        ``force_register`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6258,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6259).
      - redhat_subscription - use the right D-Bus options for environments when registering
        a CentOS Stream 8 system and using ``environment`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6275).
      - rhsm_release - make ``release`` parameter not required so it is possible to
        pass ``null`` as a value. This only was possible in the past due to a bug
        in ansible-core that now has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6401).
      - rundeck module utils - fix errors caused by the API empty responses (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300)
      - rundeck_acl_policy - fix ``TypeError - byte indices must be integers or slices,
        not str`` error caused by empty API response. Update the module to use ``module_utils.rundeck``
        functions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5887,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300).
      - rundeck_project - update the module to use ``module_utils.rundeck`` functions
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5742) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300)
      - snap_alias - module would only recognize snap names containing letter, numbers
        or the underscore character, failing to identify valid snap names such as
        ``lxd.lxc`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6361).
      minor_changes:
      - cpanm - minor change, use feature from ``ModuleHelper`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6385).
      - 'dconf - be forgiving about boolean values: convert them to GVariant booleans
        automatically (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6206).'
      - dconf - minor refactoring improving parameters and dependencies validation
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6336).
      - deps module utils - add function ``failed()`` providing the ability to check
        the dependency check result without triggering an exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6383).
      - dig lookup plugin - Support multiple domains to be queried as indicated in
        docs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6334).
      - gitlab_project - add new option ``topics`` for adding topics to GitLab projects
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6278).
      - homebrew_cask - allows passing ``--greedy`` option to ``upgrade_all`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6267).
      - idrac_redfish_command - add ``job_id`` to ``CreateBiosConfigJob`` response
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5603).
      - ipa_hostgroup - add ``append`` parameter for adding a new hosts to existing
        hostgroups without changing existing hostgroup members (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6203).
      - keycloak_authentication - add flow type option to sub flows to allow the creation
        of 'form-flow' sub flows like in Keycloak's built-in registration flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6318).
      - mksysb - improved the output of the module in case of errors (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6263).
      - nmap inventory plugin - added environment variables for configure ``address``
        and ``exclude`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6351).
      - nmcli - add ``macvlan`` connection type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6312).
      - pipx - add ``system_site_packages`` parameter to give application access to
        system-wide packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6308).
      - pipx - ensure ``include_injected`` parameter works with ``state=upgrade``
        and ``state=latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6212).
      - puppet - add new options ``skip_tags`` to exclude certain tagged resources
        during a puppet agent or apply (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6293).
      - terraform - remove state file check condition and error block, because in
        the native implementation of terraform will not cause errors due to the non-existent
        file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6296).
      - udm_dns_record - minor refactor to the code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6382).

  6.6.1:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
      - deps module utils - do not fail when dependency cannot be found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6479).
      - nmcli - fix bond option ``xmit_hash_policy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6527).
      - passwordstore lookup plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.16 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6447).
      - portage - fix ``changed_use`` and ``newuse`` not triggering rebuilds (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6008,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6548).
      - 'portage - update the logic for generating the emerge command arguments to
        ensure that ``withbdeps: false`` results in a passing an ``n`` argument with
        the ``--with-bdeps`` emerge flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6451,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6456).'
      - proxmox_tasks_info - remove ``api_user`` + ``api_password`` constraint from
        ``required_together`` as it causes to require ``api_password`` even when API
        token param is used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6201).
      - puppet - handling ``noop`` parameter was not working at all, now it is has
        been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6452,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6458).
      - terraform - fix broken ``warn()`` call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6497).
      - xfs_quota - in case of a project quota, the call to ``xfs_quota`` did not
        initialize/reset the project (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5143).
      - zypper - added handling of zypper exitcode 102. Changed state is set correctly
        now and rc 102 is still preserved to be evaluated by the playbook (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6534).
      minor_changes:
      - dconf - if ``gi.repository.GLib`` is missing, try to respawn in a Python interpreter
        that has it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6491).

      bugfixes:
      - csv module utils - detects and remove unicode BOM markers from incoming CSV
        content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6662).
      - gitlab_group - the module passed parameters to the API call even when not
        set. The module is now filtering out ``None`` values to remediate this (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6712).
      - ini_file - fix a bug where the inactive options were not used when possible
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6575).
      - keycloak module utils - fix ``is_struct_included`` handling of lists of lists/dictionaries
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6688).
      - keycloak module utils - the function ``get_user_by_username`` now return the
        user representation or ``None`` as stated in the documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6758).
