      - 'If you are not using this collection as part of Ansible, but installed (and/or
        upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install
        ``community.sap_libs`` if you are using any of the ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``,
        and ``hana_query`` modules.

        Without that collection installed, the redirects for these modules do not
        work.

        '
      - '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).

        '
      - gconftool2 - fix processing of ``gconftool-2`` when ``key`` does not exist,
        returning ``null`` instead of empty string for both ``value`` and ``previous_value``
        return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6028).
      - gitlab_runner - the default of ``access_level_on_creation`` changed from ``false``
        to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
      - ldap_search - convert all string-like values to UTF-8 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5704,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6473).
      - nmcli - the default of the ``hairpin`` option changed from ``true`` to ``false``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
      - proxmox - the default of the ``unprivileged`` option changed from ``false``
        to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
      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).
      - ansible_galaxy_install - set default to raise exception if command's return
        code is different from zero (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5680).
      - ansible_galaxy_install - try ``C.UTF-8`` and then fall back to ``en_US.UTF-8``
        before failing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5680).
      - archive - avoid deprecated exception class on Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6180).
      - archive - reduce RAM usage by generating CRC32 checksum over chunks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6274).
      - bitwarden lookup plugin - clarify what to do, if the bitwarden vault is not
        unlocked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5811).
      - cartesian and flattened lookup plugins - adjust to parameter deprecation in
        ansible-core 2.14's ``listify_lookup_plugin_terms`` helper function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6074).
      - 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).
      - cloudflare_dns - fixed the idempotency for SRV DNS records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5972).

        was expecting an non-existing argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538).
      - dependent lookup plugin - avoid warning on deprecated parameter for ``Templar.template()``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5543).
      - deps module utils - do not fail when dependency cannot be found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6479).
      - dig lookup plugin - correctly handle DNSKEY record type's ``algorithm`` field
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5914).
      - 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).
      - gconftool2 - fix ``changed`` result always being ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6028).

      - gitlab_group_variables - fix dropping variables accidentally when GitLab introduced
        new properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5667).
      - gitlab_project_variables - fix dropping variables accidentally when GitLab
        introduced new properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5667).
      - gitlab_runner - fix ``KeyError`` on runner creation and update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6112).
      - 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).
      - influxdb_user - fix running in check mode when the user does not exist yet
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6111).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - jenkins_build - fix the logical flaw when deleting a Jenkins build (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5514).
      - jenkins_plugin - fix error due to undefined variable when updates file is
        not downloaded (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6100).
      - keycloak - improve error messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6318).
      - keycloak_client - fix accidental replacement of value for attribute ``saml.signing.private.key``
        with ``no_log`` in wrong contexts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5934).
      - keycloak_client_rolemapping - calculate ``proposed`` and ``after`` return
        values properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
      - 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).
      - lxc_container - fix the arguments of the lxc command which broke the creation
        and cloning of containers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5578).
      - lxd_* modules, lxd inventory plugin - fix TLS/SSL certificate validation problems
        by using the correct purpose when creating the TLS context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5616,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6034).
      - memset - fix memset urlerror handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6114).
      - nmcli - fix change handling of values specified as an integer 0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
      - nmcli - fix failure to handle WIFI settings when connection type not specified
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
      - nmcli - fix improper detection of changes to ``wifi.wake-on-wlan`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
      - 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).
      - nmcli - order is significant for lists of addresses (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6048).
      - 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).
      - one_vm - avoid splitting labels that are ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5489).
      - one_vm - fix syntax error when creating VMs with a more complex template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6225).
      - onepassword lookup plugin - Changed to ignore errors from "op account get"
        calls. Previously, errors would prevent auto-signin code from executing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5942).
      - onepassword_raw - add missing parameter to plugin documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5506).
      - opkg - fix issue that ``force=reinstall`` would not reinstall an existing
        package (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5705).
      - opkg - fixes bug when using ``update_cache=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6004).
      - passwordstore lookup plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.16 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6447).
      - pipx - fixed handling of ``install_deps=true`` with ``state=latest`` and ``state=upgrade``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6303).
      - '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 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).
      - proxmox_disk - avoid duplicate ``vmid`` reference (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5493).
      - proxmox_disk - fixed issue with read timeout on import action (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5803).
      - proxmox_disk - fixed possible issues with redundant ``vmid`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5672).
      - proxmox_nic - fixed possible issues with redundant ``vmid`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5672).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - 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 - fix broken ``warn()`` call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6497).
      - terraform and timezone - slight refactoring to avoid linter reporting potentially
        undefined variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5933).
      - terraform module - disable ANSI escape sequences during validation phase (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5843).
      - tss lookup plugin - allow to download secret attachments. Previously, we could
        not download secret attachments but now use ``fetch_attachments`` and ``file_download_path``
        variables to download attachments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6224).
      - 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).
      - unixy callback plugin - fix typo introduced when updating to use Ansible's
        configuration manager for handling options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5600).
      - various plugins and modules - remove unnecessary imports (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5940).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - xml - fixed a bug where empty ``children`` list would not be set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5808).
      - yarn - fix ``global=true`` to check for the configured global folder instead
        of assuming the default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5829)
      - yarn - fix ``global=true`` to not fail when `executable` wasn't specified
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6132)
      - yarn - fix ``state=absent`` not working with ``global=true`` when the package
        does not include a binary (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5829)
      - yarn - fix ``state=latest`` not working with ``global=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5712).
      - 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).
      - zfs_delegate_admin - zfs allow output can now be parsed when uids/gids are
        not known to the host system (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5943).
      - zypper - make package managing work on readonly filesystem of openSUSE MicroOS
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5615).
      deprecated_features:
      - ModuleHelper module_utils - ``deps`` mixin for MH classes deprecated in favour
        of using the ``deps`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6465).
      - 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).
      - gitlab_runner - the option ``access_level`` will lose its default value in
        community.general 8.0.0. From that version on, you have set this option to
        ``ref_protected`` explicitly, if you want to have a protected runner (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5925).
      - manageiq_policies - deprecate ``state=list`` in favour of using ``community.general.manageiq_policies_info``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5721).
      - manageiq_tags - deprecate ``state=list`` in favour of using ``community.general.manageiq_tags_info``

      - 'rhn_channel, rhn_register - RHN hosted at redhat.com was discontinued years

        ago, and Spacewalk 5 (which uses RHN) is EOL since 2020, May 31st;

        while these modules could work on Uyuni / SUSE Manager (fork of Spacewalk
        5),

        we have not heard about anyone using them in those setups. Hence, these

        modules are deprecated, and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0

        in case there are no reports about being still useful, and potentially

        no one that steps up to maintain them

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6493).

        SQL statements (for example ``UPDATE`` and ``INSERT``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6457).
      - mssql_script - improve batching logic to allow a wider variety of input scripts.
        For example, SQL scripts slurped from Windows machines which may contain carriage
        return (''\r'') characters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6457).

        option is ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5931).
      - 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).
      - proxmox_kvm - adds ``migrate`` parameter to manage online migrations between
        hosts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6448)
      - 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).
      - puppet - refactored module to use ``CmdRunner`` for executing ``puppet`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5612).
      - rax_scaling_group - refactored out code to the ``rax`` module utils to clear

        to allow a user monitor the update in progress (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
      - redfish_command - adding ``EnableSecureBoot`` functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5899).
      - redfish_command - adding ``VerifyBiosAttributes`` functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5900).
      - redfish_info - add ``GetUpdateStatus`` command to check the progress of a
        previous update request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).

      - redhat_subscription - adds ``token`` parameter for subscription-manager authentication
        using Red Hat API token (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5725).
      - 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).
      - sefcontext - add support for path substitutions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1193).
      - shutdown - if no shutdown commands are found in the ``search_paths`` then
        the module will attempt to shutdown the system using ``systemctl shutdown``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4269, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6171).
      - 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).
      - snap - minor refactor when executing module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5773).
      - snap - refactor module to use ``CmdRunner`` to execute external commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6468).
      - snap_alias - refactor code to module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6441).
      - snap_alias - refactored module to use ``CmdRunner`` to execute ``snap`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5486).
      - 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).
      - ssh_config - add ``proxyjump`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5970).
      - ssh_config - refactor code to module util to fix sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5720).
      - 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).
      - sudoers - add ``setenv`` parameters to support passing environment variables
        via sudo. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5883)
      - sudoers - adds ``host`` parameter for setting hostname restrictions in sudoers
        rules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5702).
      - 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).
      - 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

      removed_features:
      - 'All ``sap`` modules have been removed from this collection.

        They have been migrated to the `community.sap_libs <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/sap_libs>`_
        collection.

        Redirections have been provided.

        Following modules are affected:

        - sapcar_extract

        - sap_task_list_execute

        - hana_query

        '
      - cmd_runner module utils - the ``fmt`` alias of ``cmd_runner_fmt`` has been
        removed. Use ``cmd_runner_fmt`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
      - newrelic_deployment - the ``appname`` and ``environment`` options have been
        removed. They did not do anything (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
      - puppet - the alias ``show-diff`` of the ``show_diff`` option has been removed.
        Use ``show_diff`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
      - 'xfconf - generating facts was deprecated in community.general 3.0.0, however
        three factoids, ``property``, ``channel`` and ``value`` continued to be generated
        by mistake. This behaviour has been removed and ``xfconf`` generate no facts
        whatsoever (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5502).

      bugfixes:
      - nmcli - fix bond option ``xmit_hash_policy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6527).
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - 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).

  7.1.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
      - 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).
      - 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).
      - icinga2_host - fix a key error when updating an existing host (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6748).
      - ini_file - add the ``follow`` paramter to follow the symlinks instead of replacing
        them (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6546).
      - 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).
      - proxmox_kvm - allow creation of VM with existing name but new vmid (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6155,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6709).
      - 'rhsm_repository - when using the ``purge`` option, the ``repositories``

        dictionary element in the returned JSON is now properly updated according

        to the pruning operation

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6676).

        '
      - tss lookup plugin - fix multiple issues when using ``fetch_attachments=true``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6720).
      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).
      - cpanm - value ``compatibility`` is deprecated as default for parameter ``mode``
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6512).
      - '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

        deprecated for many years, although only in the documentation. Officially
        mark this alias

        as deprecated, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6646).

        '
      - 'redhat_subscription - the ``pool`` option is deprecated in favour of the

        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).

        '
      known_issues:
      - Ansible markup will show up in raw form on ansible-doc text output for ansible-core
        before 2.15. If you have trouble deciphering the documentation markup, please
        upgrade to ansible-core 2.15 (or newer), or read the HTML documentation on
        https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/general/ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6539).
      minor_changes:
      - The collection will start using semantic markup (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6539).
      - VarDict module utils - add method ``VarDict.as_dict()`` to convert to a plain

      release_summary: 'Regular bugfix and feature release.


        From this version on, community.general is using the new `Ansible semantic
        markup

        <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html#semantic-markup-within-module-documentation>`__

        in its documentation. If you look at documentation with the ansible-doc CLI
        tool

        from ansible-core before 2.15, please note that it does not render the markup

        correctly. You should be still able to read it in most cases, but you need

        ansible-core 2.15 or later to see it as it is intended. Alternatively you
        can

        look at `the devel docsite <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/general/>`__

        for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release.

  7.2.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
      - cobbler inventory plugin - fix calculation of cobbler_ipv4/6_address (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6925).
      - datadog_downtime - presence of ``rrule`` param lead to the Datadog API returning
        Bad Request due to a missing recurrence type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6811).
      - ipa_dnszone - fix 'idnsallowsyncptr' key error for reverse zone (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6906,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6905).
      - keycloak_authentication - fix Keycloak authentication flow (step or sub-flow)
        indexing during update, if not specified by the user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6734).
      - locale_gen - now works for locales without the underscore character such as
        ``C.UTF-8`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6774,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5142, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4305).
      - machinectl become plugin - mark plugin as ``require_tty`` to automatically
        disable pipelining, with which this plugin is not compatible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6932,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6935).
      - nmcli - fix support for empty list (in compare and scrape) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6769).
      - openbsd_pkg - the pkg_info(1) behavior has changed in OpenBSD >7.3. The error
        message ``Can't find`` should not lead to an error case (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6785).
      - pacman - module recognizes the output of ``yay`` running as ``root`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6713).
      - proxmox - fix error when a configuration had no ``template`` field (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6838,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5372).
      - proxmox module utils - add logic to detect whether an old Promoxer complains
        about the ``token_name`` and ``token_value`` parameters and provide a better
        error message when that happens (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6839,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5371).
      - 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
        calling the ``stop_vm`` and ``start_vm`` functions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6773).
      - proxmox_template - require ``requests_toolbelt`` module to fix issue with
        uploading large templates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5579,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6757).
      - redfish_info - fix ``ListUsers`` to not show empty account slots (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6771,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6772).
      - refish_utils module utils - changing variable names to avoid issues occuring
        when fetching Volumes data (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6883).
      - snap - assume default track ``latest`` in parameter ``channel`` when not specified
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6835, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6821).
      - snap - fix the processing of the commands' output, stripping spaces and newlines
        from it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6826,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6803).
      deprecated_features:
      - 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).

        and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
      - webfaction_mailbox - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints,
        and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
      - webfaction_site - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints,
        and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).

        only those two specific ones (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6763).
      - keyring - minor refactor removing unnecessary code statements (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6927).

      - make - add new ``targets`` parameter allowing multiple targets to be used
        with ``make`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6882,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4919).

      - redfish_info - add ``AccountTypes`` and ``OEMAccountTypes`` to the output
        of ``ListUsers`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6823,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6871).
      - redfish_info - adds ``ProcessorArchitecture`` to CPU inventory (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6864).
      - redfish_info - fix for ``GetVolumeInventory``, Controller name was getting
        populated incorrectly and duplicates were seen in the volumes retrieved (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6719).
      - 'rhsm_repository - the interaction with ``subscription-manager`` was

        refactored by grouping things together, removing unused bits, and hardening

        the way it is run; also, the parsing of ``subscription-manager repos --list``

        was improved and made slightly faster; no behaviour change is expected

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6783,

        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6837).

        '

  7.2.1:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
      - 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 - 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).
      - 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).
      - rundeck - fix ``TypeError`` on 404 API response (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6983).

  7.3.0:
    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).
      - 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).
      - keycloak module util - fix missing ``http_agent``, ``timeout``, and ``validate_certs``
        ``open_url()`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7067).
      - keycloak_client inventory plugin - fix missing client secret (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6931).

        snapshot volumes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1630,
        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7053).
      - lxc connection plugin - now handles ``remote_addr`` defaulting to ``inventory_hostname``
        correctly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7104).
      - oci_utils module utils - avoid direct type comparisons (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7085).
      - proxmox_user_info - avoid direct type comparisons (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7085).

        its description (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7046).
      - sorcery - fix interruption of the multi-stage process (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7012).
      - sorcery - fix queue generation before the whole system rebuild (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7012).

      deprecated_features:
      - ejabberd_user - deprecate the parameter ``logging`` in favour of producing
        more detailed information in the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7043).

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7019).
      - ipa_config - adds ``idp`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's choices
        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7051).
      - npm - module now using ``CmdRunner`` to execute external commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6989).

        volumes on servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6814).
