changes:
breaking_changes:
- collection_version lookup plugin - remove compatibility code for ansible-base
2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- gitlab_project - add ``default_branch`` support for project update. If you
used the module so far with ``default_branch`` to update a project, the value
of ``default_branch`` was ignored. Make sure that you either do not pass a
value if you are not sure whether it is the one you want to have to avoid
unexpected breaking changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7158).
- selective callback plugin - remove compatibility code for Ansible 2.9 and
ansible-core 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- vardict module utils - ``VarDict`` will no longer accept variables named ``_var``,
``get_meta``, and ``as_dict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6647).
- version module util - remove fallback for ansible-core 2.11. All modules and
plugins that do version collections no longer work with ansible-core 2.11
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
bugfixes:
- CmdRunner module utils - does not attempt to resolve path if executable is
a relative or absolute path (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7200).
- MH DependencyMixin module utils - deprecation notice was popping up for modules
not using dependencies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6644,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6639).
- 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).
- cobbler inventory plugin - fix calculation of cobbler_ipv4/6_address (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6925).
- composer - fix impossible to run ``working_dir`` dependent commands. The module
was throwing an error when trying to run a ``working_dir`` dependent command,
because it tried to get the command help without passing the ``working_dir``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3787).
- csv module utils - detects and remove unicode BOM markers from incoming CSV
content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6662).

Bad Request due to a missing recurrence type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6811).
- 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).

https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6949).
- github_deploy_key - fix pagination behaviour causing a crash when only a single
page of deploy keys exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7375).
- 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).
- gitlab_group_variable - deleted all variables when used with ``purge=true``
due to missing ``raw`` property in KNOWN attributes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7250).
- gitlab_project_variable - deleted all variables when used with ``purge=true``
due to missing ``raw`` property in KNOWN attributes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7250).

- proxmox_disk - fix unable to create ``cdrom`` media due to ``size`` always
being appended (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6770).
- proxmox_kvm - ``absent`` state with ``force`` specified failed to stop the
VM due to the ``timeout`` value not being passed to ``stop_vm`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6827).
- proxmox_kvm - ``restarted`` state did not actually restart a VM in some VM
configurations. The state now uses the Proxmox reboot endpoint instead of

"comparing end state with initial state" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7340,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7265).
- snap - fix crash when multiple snaps are specified and one has ``---`` in
its description (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7046).

deprecated_features:
- CmdRunner module utils - deprecate ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_default_type()`` formatter
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6601).
- MH VarsMixin module utils - deprecates ``VarsMixin`` and supporting classes
in favor of plain ``vardict`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6649).
- ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211``
options have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- consul - the ``ack_params_state_absent`` option has been deprecated and will
be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- cpanm - value ``compatibility`` is deprecated as default for parameter ``mode``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6512).

more detailed information in the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7043).
- flowdock - module relies entirely on no longer responsive API endpoints, and
it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6930).
- proxmox - old feature flag ``proxmox_default_behavior`` will be removed in
community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6836).
- proxmox_kvm - deprecate the option ``proxmox_default_behavior`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7377).
- redfish_info, redfish_config, redfish_command - the default value ``10`` for
the ``timeout`` option is deprecated and will change to ``60`` in community.general
9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7295).
- 'redhat module utils - the ``module_utils.redhat`` module is deprecated, as
effectively unused: the ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools`` classes
will be removed in community.general 9.0.0; the ``RegistrationBase`` class
will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 together with the
``rhn_register`` module, as it is the only user of this class; this means
that the whole ``module_utils.redhat`` module will be dropped in
community.general 10.0.0, so importing it without even using anything of it
will fail
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6663).
'
- 'redhat_subscription - the ``autosubscribe`` alias for the ``auto_attach``
option has been

more precise and flexible ``pool_ids`` option
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6650).
'
- 'rhsm_repository - ``state=present`` has not been working as expected for
many years,
and it seems it was not noticed so far; also, "presence" is not really a valid
concept
for subscription repositories, which can only be enabled or disabled. Hence,
mark the
``present`` and ``absent`` values of the ``state`` option as deprecated, slating
them
for removal in community.general 10.0.0
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6673).

8.1.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- apt-rpm - the module did not upgrade packages if a newer version exists. Now
the package will be reinstalled if the candidate is newer than the installed
version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7414).
- cloudflare_dns - fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7652).
- interface_files - also consider ``address_family`` when changing ``option=method``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7610, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7612).
- irc - replace ``ssl.wrap_socket`` that was removed from Python 3.12 with code
for creating a proper SSL context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7542).
- keycloak_* - fix Keycloak API client to quote ``/`` properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7641).
- keycloak_authz_permission - resource payload variable for scope-based permission
was constructed as a string, when it needs to be a list, even for a single
item (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7151).
- log_entries callback plugin - replace ``ssl.wrap_socket`` that was removed
from Python 3.12 with code for creating a proper SSL context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7542).
- lvol - test for output messages in both ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7601,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7182).
- onepassword lookup plugin - field and section titles are now case insensitive
when using op CLI version two or later. This matches the behavior of version
one (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7564).
- 'redhat_subscription - use the D-Bus registration on RHEL 7 only on 7.4 and
greater; older versions of RHEL 7 do not have it
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7622,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7624).
'
- terraform - fix multiline string handling in complex variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7535).
minor_changes:
- bitwarden lookup plugin - when looking for items using an item ID, the item
is now accessed directly with ``bw get item`` instead of searching through
all items. This doubles the lookup speed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7468).
- elastic callback plugin - close elastic client to not leak resources (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7517).
- git_config - allow multiple git configs for the same name with the new ``add_mode``
option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
- git_config - the ``after`` and ``before`` fields in the ``diff`` of the return
value can be a list instead of a string in case more configs with the same
key are affected (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
- git_config - when a value is unset, all configs with the same key are unset
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
- gitlab modules - add ``ca_path`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7472).
- gitlab modules - remove duplicate ``gitlab`` package check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7486).

- ipa_user - adds ``idp`` and ``passkey`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's
choices (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7589).
- irc - add ``validate_certs`` option, and rename ``use_ssl`` to ``use_tls``,
while keeping ``use_ssl`` as an alias. The default value for ``validate_certs``
is ``false`` for backwards compatibility. We recommend to every user of this
module to explicitly set ``use_tls=true`` and `validate_certs=true`` whenever
possible, especially when communicating to IRC servers over the internet (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7550).
- keycloak module utils - expose error message from Keycloak server for HTTP
errors in some specific situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7645).

https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7504).

found`` errors, to avoid false detection on unrelated errors such as ``/usr/bin/python3:
not found`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7521).'
- netcup_dns - adds support for record types ``OPENPGPKEY``, ``SMIMEA``, and
``SSHFP`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7489).
- nmcli - add support for new connection type ``loopback`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6572).
- nmcli - allow for ``infiniband`` slaves of ``bond`` interface types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7569).

behave as usual (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6714,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7461).
- proxmox_disk - add ability to manipulate CD-ROM drive (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7495).

8.2.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` processing was not idempotent if
the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name (in ascending order).
Fix resolves the issue by sorting mappers in the desired state using the same
key which is used for obtaining existing state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_identity_provider - it was not possible to reconfigure (add, remove)
``mappers`` once they were created initially. Removal was ignored, adding
new ones resulted in dropping the pre-existing unmodified mappers. Fix resolves
the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7418).
- keycloak_user - when ``force`` is set, but user does not exist, do not try
to delete it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7696).
- proxmox_kvm - running ``state=template`` will first check whether VM is already
a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7792).
- statusio_maintenance - fix error caused by incorrectly formed API data payload.
Was raising "Failed to create maintenance HTTP Error 400 Bad Request" caused
by bad data type for date/time and deprecated dict keys (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7754).
minor_changes:
- ipa_dnsrecord - adds ability to manage NS record types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7737).
- ipa_pwpolicy - refactor module and exchange a sequence ``if`` statements with
a ``for`` loop (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7723).
- ipa_pwpolicy - update module to support ``maxrepeat``, ``maxsequence``, ``dictcheck``,
``usercheck``, ``gracelimit`` parameters in FreeIPA password policies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7723).
- keycloak_realm_key - the ``config.algorithm`` option now supports 8 additional
key algorithms (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7698).
- keycloak_realm_key - the ``config.certificate`` option value is no longer
defined with ``no_log=True`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7698).
- keycloak_realm_key - the ``provider_id`` option now supports RSA encryption
key usage (value ``rsa-enc``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7698).
- keycloak_user_federation - allow custom user storage providers to be set through
``provider_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7789).
- mail - add ``Message-ID`` header; which is required by some mail servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7740).
- mail module, mail callback plugin - allow to configure the domain name of
the Message-ID header with a new ``message_id_domain`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7765).
- ssh_config - new feature to set ``AddKeysToAgent`` option to ``yes`` or ``no``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7703).
- ssh_config - new feature to set ``IdentitiesOnly`` option to ``yes`` or ``no``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7704).
- xcc_redfish_command - added support for raw POSTs (``command=PostResource``
in ``category=Raw``) without a specific action info (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7746).
