+        of Ansible internal key ``results``.

+        parameter for releases prior to Ansible 2.10.
+      - vmware_guest_find - the ``datacenter`` option has been removed.
+      - vmware_host_kernel_manager - now returns ``host_kernel_status`` instead of

+        option instead.
+      bugfixes:
+      - vmware_content_deploy_ovf_template - use datastore_id in deployment_spec (https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware/pull/287).
+      - vmware_dvs_portgroup_find - Fix comparison between str and int on method vlan_match
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware/pull/52).

+        deprecated part of Pyvcloud library.
+      - vmware_tag_info - in a later release, the module will not return ``tag_facts``
+        since it does not return multiple tags with the same name and different category
