- 'If you use Ansible 2.9 and these plugins or modules from this collection,
community.general 3.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the DellEMC content
by FQCN, like ``community.general.idrac_firmware``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust
your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``dellemc.openmanage.idrac_firmware``
for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``dellemc.openmanage``
installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 4.0.0, but
installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure
to also install the ``dellemc.openmanage`` collection if you are using any
of these plugins or modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general
3.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as dellemc.openmanage) must
be installed for them to work.
'
- gitlab_deploy_key - if for an already existing key title a different public
key was given as parameter nothing happened, now this changed so that the
public key is updated to the new value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1661).
- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the alias (name)
is changed. This was originally the intended behavior, but did not work due
to a logic error. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on
the old behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the passphrase
is changed. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on the old
behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
- one_image - use pyone instead of python-oca (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2032).

a placeholder string instead of the module's ``frontend_cookie_secret`` parameter
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1736).
bugfixes:
- Mark various module options with ``no_log=False`` which have a name that potentially
could leak secrets, but which do not (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2001).

- 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 deprecated and will be removed from
community.general 5.0.0. Please install the `infoblox.nios_modules <https://galaxy.ansible.com/infoblox/nios_modules>`_
collection instead and use its plugins and modules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2458).
- The vendored copy of ``ipaddress`` will be removed in community.general 4.0.0.
Please switch to ``ipaddress`` from the Python 3 standard library, or `from
pypi <https://pypi.org/project/ipaddress/>`_, if your code relies on the vendored
version of ``ipaddress`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2459).
- linode - parameter ``backupsenabled`` is deprecated and will be removed in
community.general 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2410).
- lxd inventory plugin - the plugin will require ``ipaddress`` installed when
used with Python 2 from community.general 4.0.0 on. ``ipaddress`` is part
of the Python 3 standard library, but can be installed for Python 2 from pypi
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2459).
- scaleway_security_group_rule - the module will require ``ipaddress`` installed
when used with Python 2 from community.general 4.0.0 on. ``ipaddress`` is
part of the Python 3 standard library, but can be installed for Python 2 from
pypi (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2459).

- filesystem - cleanup and revamp module, tests and doc. Pass all commands to
``module.run_command()`` as lists. Move the device-vs-mountpoint logic to

3.2.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- consul_kv lookup plugin - allow to set ``recurse``, ``index``, ``datacenter``
and ``token`` as keyword arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2124).
- cpanm - also use ``LC_ALL`` to enforce locale choice (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2731).
- influxdb_user - fix bug which removed current privileges instead of appending
them to existing ones (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2609,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2614).
- iptables_state - call ``async_status`` action plugin rather than its module
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2700).
- iptables_state - fix a broken query of ``async_status`` result with current
ansible-core development version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2627,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2671).
- java_cert - fix issue with incorrect alias used on PKCS#12 certificate import
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2560).

option is one of ``enabled``, ``disabled``, ``pinned``, ``unpinned``, or ``absent``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2510).
- json_query filter plugin - avoid 'unknown type' errors for more Ansible internal
types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2607).
- 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 - remove warning that ``reset_password_allowed`` needs to be
marked as ``no_log`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2694).
- module_helper module utils - ``CmdMixin`` must also use ``LC_ALL`` to enforce
locale choice (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2731).

as invalid releases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2571).
- ssh_config - reduce stormssh searches based on host (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2568/).
- stacki_host - when adding a new server, ``rack`` and ``rank`` must be passed,
and network parameters are optional (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2681).
- terraform - ensure the workspace is set back to its previous value when the
apply fails (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2634).
- xfconf - also use ``LC_ALL`` to enforce locale choice (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2715).

- All inventory and vault scripts will be removed from community.general in
version 4.0.0. If you are referencing them, please update your references
to the new `contrib-scripts GitHub repository <https://github.com/ansible-community/contrib-scripts>`_
so your workflow will not break once community.general 4.0.0 is released (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2697).

3.8.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- gitlab_deploy_key - fix idempotency on projects with multiple deploy keys
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3473).
- gitlab_group - avoid passing wrong value for ``require_two_factor_authentication``
on creation when the option has not been specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3453).
- gitlab_group_members - ``get_group_id`` return the group ID by matching ``full_path``,
``path`` or ``name`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3400).
- jboss - fix the deployment file permission issue when Jboss server is running
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).
- keycloak_authentication - fix bug, the requirement was always on ``DISABLED``
when creating a new authentication flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3330).
- keycloak_identity_provider - fix change detection when updating identity provider
mappers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3538,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3537).
- keycloak_role - quote role name when used in URL path to avoid errors when
role names contain special characters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3535,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3536).
- logstash callback plugin - replace ``_option`` with ``context.CLIARGS`` to
fix the plugin on ansible-base and ansible-core (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2692).
- macports - add ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` to return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3499).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - validated the task result exception without
crashing. Also simplifying code a bit (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3450,
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75726).
- yaml callback plugin - avoid modifying PyYAML so that other plugins using
it on the controller, like the ``to_yaml`` filter, do not produce different
output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3471,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3478).
- zypper_repository - when an URL to a .repo file was provided in option ``repo=``
and ``state=present`` only the first run was successful, future runs failed
due to missing checks prior starting zypper. Usage of ``state=absent`` in
combination with a .repo file was not working either (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1791,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3466).
minor_changes:
- mail - added the ``ehlohost`` parameter which allows for manual override of
the host used in SMTP EHLO (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3425).
- nmcli - the option ``routing_rules4`` can now be specified as a list of strings,
instead of as a single string (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3401).
- open-iscsi - adding support for mutual authentication between target and initiator
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3422).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - added option ``enable_from_environment`` to
support enabling the plugin only if the given environment variable exists
and it is set to true (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3498).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - enriched the stacktrace information with the
``message``, ``exception`` and ``stderr`` fields from the failed task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3496).
- pkgng - packages being installed (or upgraded) are acted on in one command
(per action) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2265).
- pkgng - status message specifies number of packages installed and/or upgraded
separately. Previously, all changes were reported as one count of packages
"added" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3393).
- terraform - add ``parallelism`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3540).
- ufw - if ``delete=true`` and ``insert`` option is present, then ``insert``
is now ignored rather than failing with a syntax error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3514).
