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).

and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).

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_config - adds ``passkey`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's choices
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7588).
- ipa_sudorule - adds options to include denied commands or command groups (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7415).
- 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).

- lvol - change ``pvs`` argument type to list of strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7676,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7504).
- 'lxd connection plugin - tighten the detection logic for lxd ``Instance not
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).

by setting the connect_host and connect_token parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7116)
- passwordstore - adds ``timestamp`` and ``preserve`` parameters to modify the
stored password format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7426).

- proxmox - adds ``update`` parameter, allowing update of an already existing
containers configuration (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7540).
- proxmox inventory plugin - adds an option to exclude nodes from the dynamic
inventory generation. The new setting is optional, not using this option will
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).
- proxmox_kvm - adds ``template`` value to the ``state`` parameter, allowing
conversion of a VM to a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7143).
- proxmox_kvm - support the ``hookscript`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7600).

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).

8.3.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from
``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864).
- incus connection plugin - treats ``inventory_hostname`` as a variable instead
of a literal in remote connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7874).
- ipa_otptoken - the module expect ``ipatokendisabled`` as string but the ``ipatokendisabled``
value is returned as a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7795).
- ldap - previously the order number (if present) was expected to follow an
equals sign in the DN. This makes it so the order number string is identified
correctly anywhere within the DN (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7646).
- mssql_script - make the module work with Python 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7818,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7821).
- nmcli - fix ``connection.slave-type`` wired to ``bond`` and not with parameter
``slave_type`` in case of connection type ``wifi`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7389).
- proxmox - fix updating a container config if the setting does not already
exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7872).
deprecated_features:
- consul_acl - the module has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general
10.0.0. ``consul_token`` and ``consul_policy`` can be used instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7901).
minor_changes:
- consul_auth_method, consul_binding_rule, consul_policy, consul_role, consul_session,
consul_token - added action group ``community.general.consul`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7897).
- consul_policy - added support for diff and check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_policy, consul_role, consul_session - removed dependency on ``requests``
and factored out common parts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7826,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - ``node_identities`` now expects a ``node_name`` option to match
the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - ``service_identities`` now expects a ``service_name`` option
to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for diff mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for templated policies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- redfish_info - add command ``GetServiceIdentification`` to get service identification
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7882).
- terraform - add support for ``diff_mode`` for terraform resource_changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7896).

8.4.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- 'cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for
packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs fine,
but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did not check
the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``. This resulted
in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges using ``state:
absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the given parameter
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7970).'
- gitlab_issue - fix behavior to search GitLab issue, using ``search`` keyword
instead of ``title`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7846).
- gitlab_runner - fix pagination when checking for existing runners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).
- keycloak_client - fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state when
task is in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1226,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7881).
- modprobe - listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError
if ``/etc/modprobe.d`` or ``/etc/modules-load.d`` did not exist. Relevant
functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid
crashing the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7717).
- onepassword lookup plugin - failed for fields that were in sections and had
uppercase letters in the label/ID. Field lookups are now case insensitive
in all cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7919).
- pkgin - pkgin (pkgsrc package manager used by SmartOS) raises erratic exceptions
and spurious ``changed=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7971).
- redfish_info - allow for a GET operation invoked by ``GetUpdateStatus`` to
allow for an empty response body for cases where a service returns 204 No
Content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8003).
- redfish_info - correct uncaught exception when attempting to retrieve ``Chassis``
information (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7952).
minor_changes:
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add ``bw_session`` option, to pass session key instead
of reading from env (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7994).
- gitlab_deploy_key, gitlab_group_members, gitlab_group_variable, gitlab_hook,
gitlab_instance_variable, gitlab_project_badge, gitlab_project_variable, gitlab_user
- improve API pagination and compatibility with different versions of ``python-gitlab``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).
- gitlab_hook - adds ``releases_events`` parameter for supporting Releases events
triggers on GitLab hooks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7956).
- icinga2 inventory plugin - add Jinja2 templating support to ``url``, ``user``,

8.5.0:
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).
- consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091).
- homebrew - error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse
empty JSON. Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error
message to users (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8047).
- ipa_hbacrule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA
versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- ipa_sudorule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA
versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- iptables_state - fix idempotency issues when restoring incomplete iptables
dumps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8029).
- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory
plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).
- 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).
- proxmox_kvm - fixed status check getting from node-specific API endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7817).
minor_changes:
- bitwarden lookup plugin - allows to fetch all records of a given collection
ID, by allowing to pass an empty value for ``search_value`` when ``collection_id``
is provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8013).
- icinga2 inventory plugin - adds new parameter ``group_by_hostgroups`` in order
to make grouping by Icinga2 hostgroups optional (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7998).
- ini_file - support optional spaces between section names and their surrounding
brackets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8075).
- java_cert - enable ``owner``, ``group``, ``mode``, and other generic file
arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8116).
- ldap_attrs - module now supports diff mode, showing which attributes are changed
within an operation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8073).
- lxd_container - uses ``/1.0/instances`` API endpoint, if available. Falls
back to ``/1.0/containers`` or ``/1.0/virtual-machines``. Fixes issue when
using Incus or LXD 5.19 due to migrating to ``/1.0/instances`` endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7980).
- nmcli - allow setting ``MTU`` for ``bond-slave`` interface types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8118).
- proxmox - adds ``startup`` parameters to configure startup order, startup
delay and shutdown delay (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8038).
- revbitspss lookup plugin - removed a redundant unicode prefix. The prefix
was not necessary for Python 3 and has been cleaned up to streamline the code
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8087).
release_summary: Regular feature and bugfix release with security fixes.
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/,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8098).

release_date: '2024-03-25'
8.6.0:
changes:
bugfixes:
- aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
- apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get
-y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
- bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential
backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
- from_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow
converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
- gitlab_issue, gitlab_label, gitlab_milestone - avoid crash during version
comparison when the python-gitlab Python module is not installed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8158).
- haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the
backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
- 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).
- ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
- keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes``
to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
- keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).
- puppet - add option ``environment_lang`` to set the environment language encoding.
Defaults to lang ``C``. It is recommended to set it to ``C.UTF-8`` or ``en_US.UTF-8``
depending on what is available on your system. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8000)
- riak - support ``riak admin`` sub-command in newer Riak KV versions beside
the legacy ``riak-admin`` main command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8211).
- to_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow
converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
- 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).
deprecated_features:
- hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the
self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is
therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if
nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
minor_changes:
- Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead
of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
- 'apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value
``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will
upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what
most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package
is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated
in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).'
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
- filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126).
- ini_file - add an optional parameter ``section_has_values``. If the target
ini file contains more than one ``section``, use ``section_has_values`` to
specify which one should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7505).
- java_cert - add ``cert_content`` argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8153).
- keycloak_client, keycloak_clientscope, keycloak_clienttemplate - added ``docker-v2``
protocol support, enhancing alignment with Keycloak's protocol options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8215,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8216).
- nmcli - adds OpenvSwitch support with new ``type`` values ``ovs-port``, ``ovs-interface``,
and ``ovs-bridge``, and new ``slave_type`` value ``ovs-port`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8154).
- osx_defaults - add option ``check_types`` to enable changing the type of existing
defaults on the fly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8173).
- passwordstore lookup - add ``missing_subkey`` parameter defining the behavior
of the lookup when a passwordstore subkey is missing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8166).
- portage - adds the possibility to explicitely tell portage to write packages
to world file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6226,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8236).
- redfish_command - add command ``ResetToDefaults`` to reset manager to default
state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8163).
- redfish_info - add boolean return value ``MultipartHttpPush`` to ``GetFirmwareUpdateCapabilities``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8194, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8195).
- ssh_config - allow ``accept-new`` as valid value for ``strict_host_key_checking``
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8257).
