under non-root user. The deployment file is copied with file content only.
The file permission is set to ``440`` and belongs to root user. When the JBoss
``WildFly`` server is running under non-root user, it is unable to read the
deployment file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3426).
- jenkins_build - examine presence of ``build_number`` before deleting a jenkins
build (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2850).

mappers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3538,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3537).
- keycloak_realm - ``ssl_required`` changed from a boolean type to accept the
strings ``none``, ``external`` or ``all``. This is not a breaking change since
the module always failed when a boolean was supplied (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2693).
- keycloak_realm - element type for ``events_listeners`` parameter should be
``string`` instead of ``dict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3231).

- npm - correctly handle cases where a dependency does not have a ``version``
property because it is either missing or invalid (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2917).
- npm - when the ``version`` option is used the comparison of installed vs missing
will use name@version instead of just name, allowing version specific updates
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2021).

``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3286).
- openbsd_pkg - fix crash from ``KeyError`` exception when package installs,
but ``pkg_add`` returns with a non-zero exit code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3336).
- openbsd_pkg - fix regexp matching crash. This bug could trigger on package
names with special characters, for example ``g++`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3161).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - validated the task result exception without

used to gather the state, instead of the command that actually performed the
state change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3655).
- pkgin - Fix exception encountered when all packages are already installed
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3583).
- pkgng - ``name=* state=latest`` check for upgrades did not count "Number of
packages to be reinstalled" as a `changed` action, giving incorrect results
in both regular and check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3526).
- pkgng - an `earlier PR <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3393>`_

- snap - fixed the order of the ``--classic`` parameter in the command line
invocation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2916).

- zfs - added diff mode support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/502).
- zfs_delegate_admin - drop choices from permissions, allowing any permission
supported by the underlying zfs commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2540).
- zone connection - minor refactor to make lints and IDEs happy (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2520).

- zypper - prefix zypper commands with ``/sbin/transactional-update --continue
--drop-if-no-change --quiet run`` if transactional updates are detected (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3159).
release_summary: This is release 4.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on
2021-11-02.
removed_features:
- All inventory and vault scripts contained in community.general were moved
to the `contrib-scripts GitHub repository <https://github.com/ansible-community/contrib-scripts>`_
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2696).
- ModuleHelper module utils - remove fallback when value could not be determined
for a parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
- Removed deprecated netapp module utils and doc fragments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3197).
- The nios, nios_next_ip, nios_next_network lookup plugins, the nios documentation
fragment, and the nios_host_record, nios_ptr_record, nios_mx_record, nios_fixed_address,
nios_zone, nios_member, nios_a_record, nios_aaaa_record, nios_network, nios_dns_view,
nios_txt_record, nios_naptr_record, nios_srv_record, nios_cname_record, nios_nsgroup,
and nios_network_view module have been removed from community.general 4.0.0
and were replaced by redirects to the `infoblox.nios_modules <https://galaxy.ansible.com/infoblox/nios_modules>`_
collection. Please install the ``infoblox.nios_modules`` collection to continue
using these plugins and modules, and update your FQCNs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3592).
- The vendored copy of ``ipaddress`` has been removed. Please use ``ipaddress``
from the Python 3 standard library, or `from pypi <https://pypi.org/project/ipaddress/>`_.
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2441).
- cpanm - removed the deprecated ``system_lib`` option. Use Ansible's privilege
escalation mechanism instead; the option basically used ``sudo`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
- grove - removed the deprecated alias ``message`` of the ``message_content``
option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
- proxmox - default value of ``proxmox_default_behavior`` changed to ``no_defaults``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
- proxmox_kvm - default value of ``proxmox_default_behavior`` changed to ``no_defaults``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
- runit - removed the deprecated ``dist`` option which was not used by the module
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
- telegram - removed the deprecated ``msg``, ``msg_format`` and ``chat_id``
options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
- xfconf - the default value of ``disable_facts`` changed to ``true``, and the
value ``false`` is no longer allowed. Register the module results instead
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3461).
security_fixes:
- nmcli - do not pass WiFi secrets on the ``nmcli`` command line. Use ``nmcli
con edit`` instead and pass secrets as ``stdin`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3145).
