+- kaytus.ksmanage (version 1.2.1)
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+community.docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Please note that the fix for requests 2.32.0 included in community.docker 3.10.1 only
+  fixes problems with the *vendored* Docker SDK for Python code. Modules and plugins that
+  use Docker SDK for Python can still fail due to the SDK currently being incompatible
+  with requests 2.32.0.
+
+  If you still experience problems with requests 2.32.0, such as error messages like
+  ``Not supported URL scheme http+docker``, please restrict requests to ``<2.32.0``.
+
+dellemc.openmanage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- idrac_diagnostics - Issue(285322) - This module doesn't support export of diagnostics file to HTTP and HTTPS share via SOCKS proxy.
+- idrac_firmware - Issue(279282) - This module does not support firmware update using HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP shares with authentication on iDRAC8.
+- idrac_network_attributes - Issue(279049) -  If unsupported values are provided for the parameter ``ome_network_attributes``, then this module does not provide a correct error message.
+- idrac_storage_volume - Issue(290766) - The module will report success instead of showing failure for new virtual creation on the BOSS-N1 controller if a virtual disk is already present on the same controller.
+- ome_device_network_services - Issue(212681) - The module does not provide a proper error message if unsupported values are provided for the following parameters- port_number, community_name, max_sessions, max_auth_retries, and idle_timeout.
+- ome_device_power_settings - Issue(212679) - The module displays the following message if the value provided for the parameter ``power_cap`` is not within the supported range of 0 to 32767, ``Unable to complete the request because PowerCap does not exist or is not applicable for the resource URI.``
+- ome_device_quick_deploy - Issue(275231) - This module does not deploy a new configuration to a slot that has disabled IPv6.
+- ome_diagnostics - Issue(279193) - Export of SupportAssist collection logs to the share location fails on OME version 4.0.0.
+- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - Issue(186024) - The module supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular, however it does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name. If an uplink is created using the same name as an existing uplink, then the existing uplink is modified.

+
+community.dns
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The collection no longer supports Ansible, ansible-base, and ansible-core releases that are currently End of Life at the time of the 3.0.0 release. This means that Ansible 2.9, ansible-base 2.10, ansible-core 2.11, ansible-core 2.12, ansible-core 2.13, and ansible-core 2.14 are no longer supported. The collection might still work with these versions, but it can stop working at any moment without advance notice, and this will not be considered a bug (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/196).

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The deprecated redirects for internal module names have been removed. These internal redirects were extra-long FQCNs like ``community.general.packaging.os.apt_rpm`` that redirect to the short FQCN ``community.general.apt_rpm``. They were originally needed to implement flatmapping; as various tooling started to recommend users to use the long names flatmapping was removed from the collection and redirects were added for users who already followed these incorrect recommendations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7835).

+
+community.hrobot
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The collection no longer supports Ansible, ansible-base, and ansible-core releases that are currently End of Life at the time of the 2.0.0 release. This means that Ansible 2.9, ansible-base 2.10, ansible-core 2.11, ansible-core 2.12, ansible-core 2.13, and ansible-core 2.14 are no longer supported. The collection might still work with these versions, but it can stop working at any moment without advance notice, and this will not be considered a bug (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/101).
+
+junipernetworks.junos
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Remove deprected junos_logging module which is replaced by junos_logging_global resource module.
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- The ``inspur.sm`` collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed from Ansible 11 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 11. See `the removal process for details on how this works <https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/main/removal_from_ansible.rst#cancelling-removal-of-an-unmaintained-collection>`__ (https://forum.ansible.com/t/2854).

+
+Ansible-core
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Old style vars plugins which use the entrypoints `get_host_vars` or `get_group_vars` are deprecated. The plugin should be updated to inherit from `BaseVarsPlugin` and define a `get_vars` method as the entrypoint.

+- paramiko connection plugin, configuration items in the global scope are being deprecated and will be removed in favor or the existing same options in the plugin itself. Users should not need to change anything (how to configure them are the same) but plugin authors using the global constants should move to using the plugin's get_option().

+- module_utils.ec2 - the ``boto3`` parameter for ``get_ec2_security_group_ids_from_names()`` will be removed in a release after 2025-05-01. The ``boto3`` parameter has been ignored since release 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2047).
+- rds_param_group - the ``rds_param_group`` module has been renamed to ``rds_instance_param_group``. The usage of the module has not changed. The rds_param_group alias will be removed in version 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2058).

+
+community.crypto
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- acme documentation fragment - the default ``community.crypto.acme[.documentation]`` docs fragment is deprecated and will be removed from community.crypto 3.0.0. Replace it with both the new ``community.crypto.acme.basic`` and ``community.crypto.acme.account`` fragments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/735).
+- acme.backends module utils - from community.crypto on, all implementations of ``CryptoBackend`` must override ``get_ordered_csr_identifiers()``. The current default implementation, which simply sorts the result of ``get_csr_identifiers()``, will then be removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/725).
+- acme.backends module utils - the ``get_cert_information()`` method for a ACME crypto backend must be implemented from community.crypto 3.0.0 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/736).
+- crypto.module_backends.common module utils - the ``crypto.module_backends.common`` module utils is deprecated and will be removed from community.crypto 3.0.0. Use the improved ``argspec`` module util instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/749).
+- openssl_csr_pipe, openssl_privatekey_pipe, x509_certificate_pipe - the current behavior of check mode is deprecated and will change in community.crypto 3.0.0. The current behavior is similar to the modules without ``_pipe``: if the object needs to be (re-)generated, only the ``changed`` status is set, but the object is not updated. From community.crypto 3.0.0 on, the modules will ignore check mode and always act as if check mode is not active. This behavior can already achieved now by adding ``check_mode: false`` to the task. If you think this breaks your use-case of this module, please `create an issue in the community.crypto repository <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/new/choose>`__ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/712, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/714).
+
+community.dns

+
+community.docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- docker_compose - the Docker Compose v1 module is deprecated and will be removed from community.docker 4.0.0. Please migrate to the ``community.docker.docker_compose_v2`` module, which works with Docker Compose v2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/823, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/833).
+- docker_container - the default ``ignore`` for the ``image_name_mismatch`` parameter has been deprecated and will switch to ``recreate`` in community.docker 4.0.0. A deprecation warning will be printed in situations where the default value is used and where a behavior would change once the default changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/703).
+- various modules and plugins - the ``ssl_version`` option has been deprecated and will be removed from community.docker 4.0.0. It has already been removed from Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0, and was only necessary in the past to work around SSL/TLS issues (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/853).
+
+community.general
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate use of ``VarsMixin`` in favor of using the ``VardDict`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
+- ModuleHelper vars module_utils - bump deprecation of ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict`` and ``VarsMixin`` to version 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
+- apt_rpm - the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` is deprecated and will change in community.general 11.0.0. Right now the module will upgrade a package to the latest version if one of these two states is used. You should explicitly use ``state=latest`` if you want this behavior, and switch to ``state=present_not_latest`` if you do not want to upgrade the package if it is already installed. In community.general 11.0.0 the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` will change to that of ``state=present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8285).

+- 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).
+- irc - the defaults ``false`` for ``use_tls`` and ``validate_certs`` have been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 10.0.0 to improve security. You can already improve security now by explicitly setting them to ``true``. Specifying values now disables the deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7578).
+
+community.hrobot
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- robot inventory plugin - the ``filters`` option has been renamed to ``simple_filters``. The old name will stop working in community.hrobot 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/94).

Use `vm_tools_running_status` / `vm_tools_version_status` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2033).
+
+dellemc.openmanage
