- 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- newrelic_deployment - ``appname`` and ``environment`` are no longer valid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).

- 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).

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).

6.3.0:
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
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5914).
- 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).
- logdna callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was
incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
- logstash callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it
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
was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
- syslog_json callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``,
it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
- terraform - fix ``current`` workspace never getting appended to the ``all``
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).

- 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).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - can now retrieve secrets from custom fields (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5694).

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).

- one_vm - add a new ``updateconf`` option which implements the ``one.vm.updateconf``
API call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5812).
- opkg - refactored module to use ``CmdRunner`` for executing ``opkg`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5718).
- redhat_subscription - adds ``token`` parameter for subscription-manager authentication
using Red Hat API token (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5725).

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
StormSSH to use the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6117).
- znode module - optional ``use_tls`` parameter added for encrypted communication
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6154).

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).

- '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).

- 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).

6.6.4:
changes:
bugfixes:
- bitwarden lookup plugin - the plugin made assumptions about the structure
of a Bitwarden JSON object which may have been broken by an update in the
Bitwarden API. Remove assumptions, and allow queries for general fields such
as ``notes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7061).
- cmd_runner module utils - when a parameter in ``argument_spec`` has no type,
meaning it is implicitly a ``str``, ``CmdRunner`` would fail trying to find
the ``type`` key in that dictionary (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6968).
- ejabberd_user - module was failing to detect whether user was already created
and/or password was changed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7033).
- ejabberd_user - provide meaningful error message when the ``ejabberdctl``
command is not found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7028,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6949).
- oci_utils module utils - avoid direct type comparisons (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7085).
- proxmox module utils - fix proxmoxer library version check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6974,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6975, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6980).
- proxmox_kvm - when ``name`` option is provided without ``vmid`` and VM with
that name already exists then no new VM will be created (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6911,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6981).
- proxmox_user_info - avoid direct type comparisons (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7085).
- rundeck - fix ``TypeError`` on 404 API response (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6983).
minor_changes:
- redfish_utils - use ``Controllers`` key in redfish data to obtain Storage
controllers properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7081).

correctly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7104).
- nsupdate - fix a possible ``list index out of range`` exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/836).

(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7161).

page of deploy keys exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7375).

and using ``consumer_type``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7378).

6.6.8:
changes:
bugfixes:
- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option
order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
- 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).
release_summary: Security and bugfix release.
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/,

6.6.9:
changes:
bugfixes:
- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not
contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
- xml - make module work with lxml 5.1.1, which removed some internals that
the module was relying on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8169).
release_summary: 'Maintenance release.
This is the last 6.x.y release. The 6.x.y release train is now effectively
End of Life.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the community.general 6.x.y releases!
'
security_fixes:
- keycloak_identity_provider - the client secret was not correctly sanitized
by the module. The return values ``proposed``, ``existing``, and ``end_state``,
as well as the diff, did contain the client secret unmasked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8355).
