  1.1.0:
    changes:
      breaking_changes:
      - vmware_datastore_maintenancemode - now returns ``datastore_status`` instead
        of Ansible internal key ``results``.
      - vmware_guest_custom_attributes - does not require VM name which was a required
        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
        Ansible internal key ``results``.
      - vmware_host_ntp - now returns ``host_ntp_status`` instead of Ansible internal
        key ``results``.
      - vmware_host_service_manager - now returns ``host_service_status`` instead
        of Ansible internal key ``results``.
      - vmware_tag - now returns ``tag_status`` instead of Ansible internal key ``results``.
      - vmware_vmkernel - the options ``ip_address`` and ``subnet_mask`` have been
        removed; use the suboptions ``ip_address`` and ``subnet_mask`` of the ``network``
        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).

        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware/issues/274).
      - vmware_vm_inventory - CustomFieldManager is not present in ESXi, handle this
        condition (https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware/issues/269).
      deprecated_features:
      - The vmware_dns_config module has been deprecated and will be removed in a
        later release; use vmware_host_dns instead.
      - vca - vca_fw, vca_nat, vca_app are deprecated since these modules rely on
        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
        id. To maintain the existing behavior use ``tag_info`` which is a list of
        tag metadata.
