changes:
breaking_changes:
- lists_mergeby and groupby_as_dict filter plugins - adjust filter plugin filename.
This change is not visible to end-users, it only affects possible other collections
importing Python paths (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4625).
- yarn - remove unsupported and unnecessary ``--no-emoji`` flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4662).
bugfixes:
- consul - fixed bug where class ``ConsulService`` was overwriting the field
``checks``, preventing the addition of checks to a service (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4590).
- gconftool2 - properly escape values when passing them to ``gconftool-2`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4647).
- gitlab_hook - avoid errors during idempotency check when an attribute does
not exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4668).
- onepassword - search all valid configuration locations and use the first found
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4640).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - fix task message attribute that is reported
failed regardless of the task result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4624).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - fix warning for the include_tasks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4623).
- redfish_command - the iLO4 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/4596).
- terraform - fix list initialization to support both Python 2 and Python 3
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4531).
- zypper - fix undefined variable when running in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4667).
deprecated_features:
- ansible_galaxy_install - deprecated support for ``ansible`` 2.9 and ``ansible-base``
2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4601).
- dig lookup plugin - the ``DLV`` record type has been decommissioned in 2017
and support for it will be removed from community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4618).
minor_changes:
- ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase` now delegates the attributes
``check_mode``, ``get_bin_path``, ``warn``, and ``deprecate`` to the underlying
``AnsibleModule`` instance (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4600).
- ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase`` now has a convenience method
``do_raise`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4660).
- ipa_dnsrecord - add new argument ``record_values``, mutually exclusive to
``record_value``, which supports multiple values for one record (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4578).
- pritunl_user - add ``mac_addresses`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4535).
- rax_files_objects - minor refactoring improving code quality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4649).
- redfish_* modules - the contents of ``@Message.ExtendedInfo`` will be returned
as a string in the event that ``@Message.ExtendedInfo.Messages`` does not
exist. This is likely more useful than the standard HTTP error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4596).
- to_time_unit filter plugins - the time filters has been extended to also allow
``0`` as input (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4612).
- vmadm - minor refactoring and improvement on the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4581).
- vmadm - minor refactoring and improvement on the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4648).
- zfs - minor refactoring in the code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4650).

changes:
breaking_changes:
- Parts of this collection do not work with ansible-core 2.11 on Python 3.12+.

(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).
- The symbolic links used to implement flatmapping for all modules were removed
and replaced by ``meta/runtime.yml`` redirects. This effectively breaks compatibility
with Ansible 2.9 for all modules (without using their "long" names, which
is discouraged and which can change without previous notice since they are
considered an implementation detail) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
- a_module test plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).

- memcached cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
- path_join filter plugin shim - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
- redis cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).

instead of the deprecated Python standard library ``distutils`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3936).
- a_module test plugin - fix crash when testing a module name that was tombstoned
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3660).

with Ansible's ``get_bin_path`` to find the executable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3934).
- jira - fixed bug where module returns error related to dictionary key ``body``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3419).
- keycloak - fix parameters types for ``defaultDefaultClientScopes`` and ``defaultOptionalClientScopes``
from list of dictionaries to list of strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4526).
- keycloak_* - the documented ``validate_certs`` parameter was not taken into

- pacman - make sure that ``packages`` is always returned when ``name`` or ``upgrade``
is specified, also if nothing is done (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).
- pacman - when the ``update_cache`` option is combined with another option
such as ``upgrade``, report ``changed`` based on the actions performed by
the latter option. This was the behavior in community.general 4.4.0 and before.
In community.general 4.5.0, a task combining these options would always report
``changed`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).

with Ansible's ``get_bin_path`` to find the ``say`` resp. ``espeak`` executables
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3934).
- scaleway_user_data - fix double-quote added where no double-quote is needed
to user data in scaleway's server (``Content-type`` -> ``Content-Type``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3940).

with Ansible's ``get_bin_path`` to find the executable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3934).
- zypper - fixed bug that caused zypper to always report [ok] and do nothing
on ``state=present`` when all packages in ``name`` had a version specification
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4371, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4421).
deprecated_features:
- gem - the default of the ``norc`` option has been deprecated and will change
to ``true`` in community.general 6.0.0. Explicitly specify a value to avoid
a deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4517).
- mail callback plugin - not specifying ``sender`` is deprecated and will be
disallowed in community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4140).
- module_helper module utils - deprecated the attribute ``ModuleHelper.VarDict``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3801).
- nmcli - deprecate default hairpin mode for a bridge. This so we can change
it to ``false`` in community.general 7.0.0, as this is also the default in
``nmcli`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4334).
- 'pacman - from community.general 5.0.0 on, the ``changed`` status of ``update_cache``
will no longer be ignored if ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified. To keep
the old behavior, add something like ``register: result`` and ``changed_when:
result.packages | length > 0`` to your task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).'
- proxmox inventory plugin - the current default ``true`` of the ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host``
option has been deprecated. The default will change to ``false`` in community.general
6.0.0. To keep the current behavior, explicitly set ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host``
to ``true`` in your inventory configuration. We suggest to already switch
to the new behavior by explicitly setting it to ``false``, and by using ``compose:``
to set ``ansible_host`` to the correct value. See the examples in the plugin
documentation for details (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4466).
- vmadm - deprecated module parameter ``debug`` that was not used anywhere (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4580).
known_issues:
- pacman - ``update_cache`` cannot differentiate between up to date and outdated
package lists and will report ``changed`` in both situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).
- pacman - binaries specified in the ``executable`` parameter must support ``--print-format``
in order to be used by this module. In particular, AUR helper ``yay`` is known
not to currently support it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4312).
major_changes:
- The community.general collection no longer supports Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base
2.10. While we take no active measures to prevent usage, we will remove a
lot of compatibility code and other compatility measures that will effectively
prevent using most content from this collection with Ansible 2.9, and some
content of this collection with ansible-base 2.10. Both Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base
2.10 will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should
consider upgrading to ansible-core 2.11 or later as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
minor_changes:
- Avoid internal ansible-core module_utils in favor of equivalent public API
available since at least Ansible 2.9. This fixes some instances added since
the last time this was fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4232).
- Remove vendored copy of ``distutils.version`` in favor of vendored copy included
with ansible-core 2.12+. For ansible-core 2.11, uses ``distutils.version``
for Python < 3.12. There is no support for ansible-core 2.11 with Python 3.12+

- maven_artifact - add a new ``unredirected_headers`` option that can be used
with ansible-core 2.12 and above. The default value is to not use ``Authorization``

clause had a wrong indentation. The check is now handled in the ``split_pid_name``
function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5202).
- nmcli - avoid changed status for most cases with VPN connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5126).
- osx_defaults - no longer expand ``~`` in ``value`` to the user's home directory,
or expand environment variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5234,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5243).
- proxmox_kvm - fix exception when no ``agent`` argument is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5194).
- proxmox_kvm - replace new condition with proper condition to allow for using
``vmid`` on update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5206).

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).
- tss lookup plugin - adding support for updated Delinea library (https://github.com/DelineaXPM/python-tss-sdk/issues/9,

5.8.1:
changes:
bugfixes:
- dependent lookup plugin - avoid warning on deprecated parameter for ``Templar.template()``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5543).
- iso_create - the module somtimes failed to add folders for Joliet and UDF
formats (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5275).
- ldap_attrs - fix bug which caused a ``Bad search filter`` error. The error
was occuring when the ldap attribute value contained special characters such
as ``(`` or ``*`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5434,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5435).

deprecated_features:
- Please note that some tools, like the VScode plugin (https://github.com/ansible/vscode-ansible/issues/573),
or ``ansible-doc --list --type module``, suggest to replace the correct FQCNs
for modules and actions in community.general with internal names that have
more than three components. For example, ``community.general.ufw`` is suggested
to be replaced by ``community.general.system.ufw``. While these longer names
do work, they are considered **internal names** by the collection and are
subject to change and be removed at all time. They **will** be removed in
community.general 6.0.0 and result in deprecation messages. Avoid using these
internal names, and use general three-component FQCNs (``community.general.<name_of_module>``)
instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5373).

- 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).

- gitlab_deploy_key - also update ``title`` and not just ``can_push`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5888).

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).

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).

service root resource and when performing a POST to the session collection
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5886).

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).

5.8.7:
changes:
bugfixes:
- archive - avoid deprecated exception class on Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6180).
- influxdb_user - fix running in check mode when the user does not exist yet

- interfaces_file - fix reading options in lines not starting with a space (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6120).

https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4683).
- nmcli - fixed idempotency issue when module params is set to ``may_fail4=false``

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).

5.8.8:
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).

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).
- 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).
