+ +Major Changes +------------- + +Ansible-core +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- urls.py - Removed support for Python 2 + +ansible.netcommon +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. + +ansible.utils +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `netaddr` to `>=0.10.1`, means that starting from this release, the minimum `netaddr` version this collection requires is `>=0.10.1`. +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. +- This release mainly addresses the breaking changes in the `netaddr` library. +- With the new release of `netaddr` 1.0.0, the `IPAddress.is_private()` method has been removed and instead, the `IPAddress.is_global()` method has been extended to support the same functionality. This change has been reflected in the `ipaddr` filter plugin. + +arista.eos +~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. +- This release removes previously deprecated modules and attributes from this collection. Please refer to the **Removed Features** section for details. +- Update the netcommon base version 6.1.0 to support cli_restore plugin. + +cisco.asa +~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. + +cisco.ios +~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. +- Update the netcommon base version 6.1.0 to support cli_restore plugin. +- ios_ntp - Remove deprecated ntp legacy module + +cisco.iosxr +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. +- This release removes previously deprecated module and attributes from this collection. Please refer to the **Removed Features** section for details. +- Update the netcommon base version to support cli_restore plugin. + +cisco.nxos +~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. +- This release removes four previously deprecated modules from this collection. Please refer to the **Removed Features** section for details. +- Updated the minimum required ansible.netcommon version to 6.1.0 to support the cli_restore module. + +community.dns +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- The ``community.dns`` collection now depends on the ``community.library_inventory_filtering_v1`` collection. This utility collection provides host filtering functionality for inventory plugins. If you use the Ansible community package, both collections are included and you do not have to do anything special. If you install the collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install``, it will be installed automatically. If you install the collection by copying the files of the collection to a place where ansible-core can find it, for example by cloning the git repository, you need to make sure that you also have to install the dependency if you are using the inventory plugins (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/196). + +community.docker +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- The ``community.docker`` collection now depends on the ``community.library_inventory_filtering_v1`` collection. This utility collection provides host filtering functionality for inventory plugins. If you use the Ansible community package, both collections are included and you do not have to do anything special. If you install the collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install``, it will be installed automatically. If you install the collection by copying the files of the collection to a place where ansible-core can find it, for example by cloning the git repository, you need to make sure that you also have to install the dependency if you are using the inventory plugins (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/698). + +community.hashi_vault +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- requirements - the ``requests`` package which is required by ``hvac`` now has a more restrictive range for this collection in certain use cases due to breaking security changes in ``ansible-core`` that were backported (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/pull/416). + +community.hrobot +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- The ``community.hrobot`` collection now depends on the ``community.library_inventory_filtering_v1`` collection. This utility collection provides host filtering functionality for inventory plugins. If you use the Ansible community package, both collections are included and you do not have to do anything special. If you install the collection with ``ansible-galaxy collection install``, it will be installed automatically. If you install the collection by copying the files of the collection to a place where ansible-core can find it, for example by cloning the git repository, you need to make sure that you also have to install the dependency if you are using the inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/101). + +community.mysql +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Collection version 2.*.* is EOL, no more bugfixes will be backported. Please consider upgrading to the latest version. + +containers.podman +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Add quadlet support for Podman modules + +dellemc.openmanage +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- All OME modules are enhanced to support the environment variables `OME_USERNAME` and `OME_PASSWORD` as fallback for credentials. +- All iDRAC and Redfish modules are enhanced to support the environment variables `IDRAC_USERNAME` and `IDRAC_PASSWORD` as fallback for credentials. +- idrac_certificates - The module is enhanced to support the import and export of `CUSTOMCERTIFICATE`. +- idrac_diagnostics - The module is introduced to run and export diagnostics on iDRAC. +- idrac_gather_facts - This role is enhanced to support secure boot. +- idrac_license - The module is introduced to configure iDRAC licenses. +- idrac_session - This module allows you to create and delete the sessions on iDRAC. +- idrac_user - This role is introduced to manage local users of iDRAC. + +dellemc.unity +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Adding support for Unity Puffin v5.4. + +fortinet.fortios +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Add notes for backup modules in the documentation in both monitor and monitor_fact modules. +- Supported new FOS versions 7.4.2 and 7.4.3, and support data type mac_address in the collection. +- Update all the boolean values to true/false in the documents and examples. +- Update the document of log_fact. +- Update the documentation for the supported versions from latest to a fix version number. +- Update the mismatched version message with version ranges. +- Update the required ansible version to 2.14. +- Update the required ansible version to 2.15. +- Update the supported version ranges instead of concrete version numbers to reduce the collection size. + +grafana.grafana +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Add Grafana Loki role by @voidquark in https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/pull/188 +- Add Grafana Mimir role by @GVengelen in https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/pull/183 +- Add a new config part to configure KeyCloak based auth by @he0s in https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/pull/191 +- Add an Ansible role for Grafana Alloy by @ishanjainn in https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/pull/169 +- Add an Ansible role for OpenTelemetry Collector by @ishanjainn in https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/pull/138 +- Add promtail role by @voidquark in https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/pull/197 +- Bump ansible-lint from 24.2.2 to 24.2.3 by @dependabot in https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/pull/195 + +ibm.qradar +~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. + +infoblox.nios_modules +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Upgrade Ansible version support from 2.13 to 2.16. +- Upgrade Python version support from 3.8 to 3.10. + +junipernetworks.junos +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. +- This release removes previously deprecated modules from this collection. Please refer to the **Removed Features** section for details. +- Update the netcommon base version 6.1.0 to support cli_restore plugin. + +splunk.es +~~~~~~~~~ + +- Bumping `requires_ansible` to `>=2.14.0`, since previous ansible-core versions are EoL now. + +Minor Changes +------------- + +Ansible-core +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Add ``dump`` and ``passno`` mount information to facts component (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80478) +- Added MIRACLE LINUX 9.2 in RedHat OS Family. +- Interpreter Discovery - Remove hardcoded references to specific python interpreters to use for certain distro versions, and modify logic for python3 to become the default. +- Use Python's built-in ``functools.update_wrapper`` instead an inline copy from Python 3.7. +- User can now set ansible.log to record higher verbosity than what is specified for display via new configuration item LOG_VERBOSITY. +- ``DEFAULT_PRIVATE_ROLE_VARS`` is now overridden by explicit setting of ``public`` for ``include_roles`` and ``import_roles``. +- ``ansible-galaxy role|collection init`` - accept ``--extra-vars`` to supplement/override the variables ``ansible-galaxy`` injects for templating ``.j2`` files in the skeleton. +- ``import_role`` action now also gets a ``public`` option that controls variable exports, default depending on ``DEFAULT_PRIVATE_ROLE_VARS`` (if using defaults equates to ``public=True``). +- added configuration item ``TARGET_LOG_INFO`` that allows the user/author to add an information string to the log output on targets. +- ansible-doc - treat double newlines in documentation strings as paragraph breaks. This is useful to create multi-paragraph notes in module/plugin documentation (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82465). +- ansible-doc output has been revamped to make it more visually pleasing when going to a terminal, also more concise, use -v to show extra information. +- ansible-galaxy - Started normalizing build directory with a trailing separator when building collections, internally. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/81619). +- ansible-galaxy dependency resolution messages have changed the unexplained 'virtual' collection for the specific type ('scm', 'dir', etc) that is more user friendly +- ansible-test - Add Alpine 3.19 container. +- ansible-test - Add Alpine 3.19 to remotes. +- ansible-test - Add Fedora 39 container. +- ansible-test - Add Fedora 39 remote. +- ansible-test - Add a work-around for permission denied errors when using ``pytest >= 8`` on multi-user systems with an installed version of ``ansible-test``. +- ansible-test - Add support for RHEL 9.3 remotes. +- ansible-test - Added a macOS 14.3 remote VM. +- ansible-test - Bump the ``nios-test-container`` from version 2.0.0 to version 3.0.0. +- ansible-test - Containers and remotes managed by ansible-test will have their Python ``EXTERNALLY-MANAGED`` marker (PEP668) removed. This provides backwards compatibility for existing tests running in newer environments which mark their Python as externally managed. A future version of ansible-test may change this behavior, requiring tests to be adapted to such environments. +- ansible-test - Make Python 3.12 the default version used in the ``base`` and ``default`` containers. +- ansible-test - Remove Alpine 3(.18) container. +- ansible-test - Remove Alpine 3.18 from remotes. +- ansible-test - Remove Fedora 38 remote support. +- ansible-test - Remove Fedora 38 test container. +- ansible-test - Remove rhel/9.2 test remote +- ansible-test - Remove the FreeBSD 13.2 remote. +- ansible-test - Removed fallback to ``virtualenv`` when ``-m venv`` is non-functional. +- ansible-test - Removed test remotes: macos/13.2 +- ansible-test - Removed the ``no-basestring`` sanity test. The test is no longer necessary now that Python 3 is required. +- ansible-test - Removed the ``no-dict-iteritems``, ``no-dict-iterkeys`` and ``no-dict-itervalues`` sanity tests. The tests are no longer necessary since Python 3 is required. +- ansible-test - Removed the ``no-main-display`` sanity test. The unwanted pattern is unlikely to occur, since the test has existed since Ansible 2.8. +- ansible-test - Removed the ``no-unicode-literals`` sanity test. The test is unnecessary now that Python 3 is required and the ``unicode_literals`` feature has no effect. +- ansible-test - Special handling for installation of ``cryptography`` has been removed, as it is no longer necessary. +- ansible-test - The ``shellcheck`` sanity test no longer disables the ``SC2164`` check. In most cases, seeing this error means the script is missing ``set -e``. +- ansible-test - The ``unidiomatic-typecheck`` rule has been enabled in the ``pylint`` sanity test. +- ansible-test - The ``unidiomatic-typecheck`` rule has been removed from the ``validate-modules`` sanity test. +- ansible-test - Update the base and default containers to use Ubuntu 22.04 for the base image. This also updates PowerShell to version 7.4.0 with .NET 8.0.0 and ShellCheck to version 0.8.0. +- ansible-test - Updated the CloudStack test container to version 1.7.0. +- ansible-test - Updated the distro test containers to version 6.3.0 to include coverage 7.3.2 for Python 3.8+. The alpine3 container is now based on 3.18 instead of 3.17 and includes Python 3.11 instead of Python 3.10. +- ansible-test - Updated the distro test containers to version 7.1.0. +- ansible-test - When ansible-test installs requirements, it now instructs pip to allow installs on externally managed environments as defined by PEP 668. This only occurs in ephemeral environments managed by ansible-test, such as containers, or when the `--requirements` option is used. +- ansible-test - When invoking ``sleep`` in containers during container setup, the ``env`` command is used to avoid invoking the shell builtin, if present. +- ansible-test - document block name now included in error message for YAML parsing errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82353). +- ansible-test - sanity test allows ``EXAMPLES`` to be multi-document YAML (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82353). +- ansible-test now has FreeBSD 13.3 and 14.0 support +- ansible.builtin.user - Remove user not found warning (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80267) +- apt_repository.py - use api.launchpad.net endpoint instead of launchpad.net/api +- async tasks can now also support check mode at the same time. +- async_status now supports check mode. +- constructed inventory plugin - Adding a note that only group_vars of explicit groups are loaded (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82580). +- csvfile - add a keycol parameter to specify in which column to search. +- dnf - add the ``best`` option +- dnf5 - add the ``best`` option +- filter plugin - Add the count and mandatory_count parameters in the regex_replace filter +- find - add a encoding parameter to specify which encoding of the files to be searched. +- git module - gpg_allowlist name was added in 2.17 and we will eventually deprecate the gpg_whitelist alias. +- import_role - allow subdirectories with ``_from`` options for parity with ``include_role`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82584). +- module argument spec - Allow module authors to include arbitrary additional context in the argument spec, by making use of a new top level key called ``context``. This key should be a dict type.

(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1775). +- cloudfront_distribution - added support for ``cache_policy_id`` and ``origin_request_policy_id`` for behaviors (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1589) +- community.aws collection - apply isort code formatting to ensure consistent formatting of code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1962) +- ecs_taskdefinition - Add parameter ``runtime_platform`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1891). +- eks_nodegroup - ensure wait also waits for deletion to complete when ``wait==True`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1994). +- elb_network_lb - add support for Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) policy ``AlpnPolicy`` for TLS listeners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1566). +- elb_network_lb - add the possibly to update ``SslPolicy`` and ``Certificates`` for TLS listeners (). +- glue_job - add support for 2 new instance types which are G.4X and G.8X (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/2048). +- mq_broker - add support to wait for broker state via ``wait`` and ``wait_timeout`` parameter values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1879). +- msk_cluster - Support for additional ``m5`` and ``m7g`` types of MSK clusters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1947). + +community.ciscosmb +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- added additional attribute - add interface 'bandwidth' attribute +- docs - addeed info about SG-250 support and testing +- reverted attribute change - keep interface 'bandwith' attribute + +community.crypto +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- When using cryptography >= 42.0.0, use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/726, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/727). +- acme_certificate - add ``include_renewal_cert_id`` option to allow requesting renewal of a specific certificate according to the current ACME Renewal Information specification draft (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/739). +- luks_device - add allow discards option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/693). +- openssh_cert - avoid UTC functions deprecated in Python 3.12 when using Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/727). +- x509_crl - the new option ``serial_numbers`` allow to configure in which format serial numbers can be provided to ``revoked_certificates[].serial_number``. The default is as integers (``serial_numbers=integer``) for backwards compatibility; setting ``serial_numbers=hex-octets`` allows to specify colon-separated hex octet strings like ``00:11:22:FF`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/687, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/715). + +community.digitalocean +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- digital_ocean_kubernetes - add project_name parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/issues/264). +- fix sanity tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/issues/323). + +community.dns +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- hetzner_dns_records and hosttech_dns_records inventory plugins - the ``filters`` option has been renamed to ``simple_filters``. The old name still works until community.hrobot 2.0.0. Then it will change to allow more complex filtering with the ``community.library_inventory_filtering_v1`` collection's functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/181). +- inventory plugins - add ``filter`` option which allows to include and exclude hosts based on Jinja2 conditions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/196). +- lookup, lookup_as_dict - it is now possible to configure whether the input should be treated as an absolute domain name (``search=false``), or potentially as a relative domain name (``search=true``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/issues/200, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/201). +- nameserver_info and nameserver_record_info - add ``server`` parameter to specify custom DNS servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/168, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/178). +- wait_for_txt - add ``server`` parameter to specify custom DNS servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/178). + +community.docker +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- The EE requirements now include PyYAML, since the ``docker_compose_v2*`` modules depend on it when the ``definition`` option is used. This should not have a noticable effect on generated EEs since ansible-core itself depends on PyYAML as well, and ansible-builder explicitly ignores this dependency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832). +- The ``ca_cert`` option available to almost all modules and plugins has been renamed to ``ca_path``. The name ``ca_path`` is also used for similar options in ansible-core and other collections. The old name has been added as an alias and can still be used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/744). +- The ``docker_stack*`` modules now use the common CLI-based module code added for the ``docker_image_build`` and ``docker_compose_v2`` modules. This means that the modules now have various more configuration options with respect to talking to the Docker Daemon, and now also are part of the ``community.docker.docker`` and ``docker`` module default groups (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/745). +- docker_compose_v2 - add ``scale`` option to allow to explicitly scale services (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/776). +- docker_compose_v2 - allow to wait until containers are running/health when running ``docker compose up`` with the new ``wait`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/794, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/796). +- docker_compose_v2* - the new option ``check_files_existing`` allows to disable the check for one of the files ``compose.yaml``, ``compose.yml``, ``docker-compose.yaml``, and ``docker-compose.yml`` in ``project_src`` if ``files`` is not specified. This is necessary if a non-standard compose filename is specified through other means, like the ``COMPOSE_FILE`` environment variable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/838, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/839). +- docker_compose_v2* modules - allow to provide an inline definition of the compose content instead of having to provide a ``project_src`` directory with the compose file written into it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/829, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832). +- docker_compose_v2, docker_compose_v2_pull - support ``files`` parameter to specify multiple Compose files (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/772, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/775). +- docker_container - add ``networks[].mac_address`` option for Docker API 1.44+. Note that Docker API 1.44 no longer uses the global ``mac_address`` option, this new option is the only way to set the MAC address for a container (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/763). +- docker_container - adds ``healthcheck.start_interval`` to support healthcheck start interval setting on containers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/848). +- docker_container - adds ``healthcheck.test_cli_compatible`` to allow omit test option on containers without remove existing image test (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/847). +- docker_container - implement better ``platform`` string comparisons to improve idempotency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/654, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/705). +- docker_container - internal refactorings which allow comparisons to use more information like details of the current image or the Docker host config (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/713). +- docker_container - the ``pull_check_mode_behavior`` option now allows to control the module's behavior in check mode when ``pull=always`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/792, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/797). +- docker_container - the ``pull`` option now accepts the three values ``never``, ``missing_image`` (default), and ``never``, next to the previously valid values ``true`` (equivalent to ``always``) and ``false`` (equivalent to ``missing_image``). This allows the equivalent to ``--pull=never`` from the Docker command line (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/783, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/797). +- docker_image - allow to specify labels and ``/dev/shm`` size when building images (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/726, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/727). +- docker_image - allow to specify memory size and swap memory size in other units than bytes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/727). +- docker_image_build - add ``outputs`` option to allow configuring outputs for the build (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/852). +- docker_image_build - add ``secrets`` option to allow passing secrets to the build (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/852). +- docker_image_build - allow ``platform`` to be a list of platforms instead of only a single platform for multi-platform builds (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/852). +- docker_network - adds ``config_only`` and ``config_from`` to support creating and using config only networks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/395). +- docker_prune - add new options ``builder_cache_all``, ``builder_cache_filters``, and ``builder_cache_keep_storage``, and a new return value ``builder_cache_caches_deleted`` for pruning build caches (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/844, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/845). +- docker_swarm_service - adds ``sysctls`` to support sysctl settings on swarm services (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/190). +- inventory plugins - add ``filter`` option which allows to include and exclude hosts based on Jinja2 conditions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/698, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/610). +- vendored Docker SDK for Python - remove unused code that relies on functionality deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/834). + +community.general +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- PythonRunner module utils - specialisation of ``CmdRunner`` to execute Python scripts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8289). +- 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). +- aix_lvol - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264). +- ansible_galaxy_install - minor refactor in the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8413). +- 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). +- apt_rpm - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264). +- 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). +- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188). +- 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). +- 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). +- btrfs_subvolume - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264). +- cmd_runner module_utils - add validation for minimum and maximum length in the value passed to ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8288). +- 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). +- elastic callback plugin - close elastic client to not leak resources (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7517). +- filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126). +- gandi_livedns - adds support for personal access tokens (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7639, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8337). +- gconftool2 - use ``ModuleHelper`` with ``VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226). +- 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). +- 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). +- gitlab_runner - add support for new runner creation workflow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7199). +- homebrew - adds ``force_formula`` parameter to disambiguate a formula from a cask of the same name (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8274). +- homebrew, homebrew_cask - refactor common argument validation logic into a dedicated ``homebrew`` module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8323, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8324). +- icinga2 inventory plugin - add Jinja2 templating support to ``url``, ``user``, and ``password`` paramenters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7074, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7996). +- 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 - 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). +- ini_file - support optional spaces between section names and their surrounding brackets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8075). +- installp - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264). +- ipa_config - adds ``passkey`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's choices (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7588). +- 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). +- 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). +- java_cert - add ``cert_content`` argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8153). +- java_cert - enable ``owner``, ``group``, ``mode``, and other generic file arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8116). +- kernel_blacklist - use ``ModuleHelper`` with ``VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226). +- 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). +- 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). +- 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 - add option for ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7538). +- keycloak_user_federation - allow custom user storage providers to be set through ``provider_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7789). +- ldap_attrs - module now supports diff mode, showing which attributes are changed within an operation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8073). +- lvg - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264). +- 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). +- lvol - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264). +- 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). +- lxd_container - uses ``/1.0/instances`` API endpoint, if available. Falls back to ``/1.0/containers`` or ``/1.0/virtual-machines``.

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.

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). +- 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). +- django_manage - the ``ack_venv_creation_deprecation`` option has no more effect and will be removed from community.general 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198). +- gitlab modules - the basic auth method on GitLab API have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8383). +- 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 module now rejects adding keys that are already present in another slot (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710). +- luks_device - fixed testing of LUKS passphrases in when specifying a keyslot for cryptsetup version 2.0.3. The output of this cryptsetup version slightly differs from later versions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710). +- openssl_dhparam - was using an internal function instead of the public API to load DH param files when using the ``cryptography`` backend. The internal function was removed in cryptography 42.0.0. The module now uses the public API, which has been available since support for DH params was added to cryptography (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/698). +- openssl_privatekey_info - ``check_consistency=true`` no longer works for RSA keys with cryptography 42.0.0+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/701). +- openssl_privatekey_info - ``check_consistency=true`` now reports a warning if it cannot determine consistency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/705). +- x509_certificate - since community.crypto 2.19.0 the module was no longer idempotent with respect to ``not_before`` and ``not_after`` times. This is now fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/753, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/754). +- x509_crl, x509_certificate, x509_certificate_info - when parsing absolute timestamps which omitted the second count, the first digit of the minutes was used as a one-digit minutes count, and the second digit of the minutes as a one-digit second count (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/745). + +community.digitalocean +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- The C(project_name) parameter for many modules was used by alias C(project) internally in the codebase, but to work properly C(project_name) must be used in the code. Replace self.module.params.get("project") with self.module.params.get("project_name") (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/issues/326). +- digital_ocean_kubernetes - module didn't return kubeconfig properly, return documentation was invalid. Fixed version returns data with the same structure all the time, also it is aligned with M(community.digitalocean.digital_ocean_kubernetes_info) documentation return data now. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/issues/322). +- inventory plugin - restore reading auth token from env variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.digitalocean/pull/315). + +community.dns +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- DNS record modules, inventory plugins - fix the TXT entry encoder to avoid splitting up escape sequences for quotes and backslashes over multiple TXT strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/issues/190, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/191). +- Update Public Suffix List. +- 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.dns/pull/197). +- nameserver_record_info - fix crash when more than one record is retrieved (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/172). +- wait_for_txt, nameserver_info, nameserver_record_info - when looking up nameservers for a domain, do not treat ``NXDOMAIN`` as a fatal error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.dns/pull/177). + +community.docker +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Use ``unix:///var/run/docker.sock`` instead of the legacy ``unix://var/run/docker.sock`` as default for ``docker_host`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/736). +- docker and nsenter connection plugins, docker_container_exec module - avoid using the deprecated ``ansible.module_utils.compat.selectors`` module util with Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/870, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/871). +- docker_compose_v2 - do not consider a ``Waiting`` event as an action/change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/804). +- docker_compose_v2 - do not fail when non-fatal errors occur. This can happen when pulling an image fails, but then the image can be built for another service. Docker Compose emits an error in that case, but ``docker compose up`` still completes successfully (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/807, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/810, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/811). +- docker_compose_v2 - do not treat service-level pull events as changes to avoid incorrect ``changed=true`` return value of ``pull=always`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/802, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/803). +- docker_compose_v2 - properly parse dry-run build events from ``stderr`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/778, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/779). +- docker_compose_v2* - allow ``project_src`` to be a relative path, by converting it to an absolute path before using it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/827, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/828). +- docker_compose_v2* modules - abort with a nice error message instead of crash when the Docker Compose CLI plugin version is ``dev`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/825, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/826). +- docker_compose_v2* modules - correctly parse ``Warning`` events emitted by Docker Compose (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/807, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/811). +- docker_compose_v2* modules - parse ``logfmt`` warnings emitted by Docker Compose (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/787, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/811). +- docker_compose_v2, docker_compose_v2_pull - fix parsing of pull messages for Docker Compose 2.20.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/785, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/786). +- docker_compose_v2_pull - fixing idempotence by checking actual pull progress events instead of service-level pull request when ``policy=always``. This stops the module from reporting ``changed=true`` if no actual change happened when pulling. In check mode, it has to assume that a change happens though (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/813, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/814). +- docker_compose_v2_pull - the module was documented as part of the ``community.docker.docker`` action group, but was not actually part of it. That has now been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/773). +- docker_image - fix archiving idempotency with Docker API 1.44 or later (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/765). +- 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.docker/pull/835). +- modules and plugins using the Docker SDK for Python - remove ``ssl_version`` from the parameters passed to Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0+. Explicitly fail with a nicer error message if it was explicitly set in this case (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/715). +- modules and plugins using the Docker SDK for Python - remove ``tls_hostname`` from the parameters passed to Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0+. Explicitly fail with a nicer error message if it was explicitly set in this case (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/721). +- vendored Docker SDK for Python - avoid passing on ``ssl_version`` and ``tls_hostname`` if they were not provided by the user. Remove dead code. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/722). +- vendored Docker SDK for Python - include a fix requests 2.32.2+ compatibility (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/860, https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/6707, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/864). +- vendored Docker SDK for Python - include a hotfix for requests 2.32.0 compatibility (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/860, https://github.com/docker/docker-py/issues/3256, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/861). + +community.general +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151). +- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052). +- 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). +- 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). +- 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). +- cloudflare_dns - fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7652). +- consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091). +- cpanm - use new ``VarDict`` to prevent deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8410, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8411). +- django module utils - use new ``VarDict`` to prevent deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8410, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8411). +- 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). +- gconftool2_info - use new ``VarDict`` to prevent deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8410, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8411). +- gitlab_group_members - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_group_members`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467). +- gitlab_issue - fix behavior to search GitLab issue, using ``search`` keyword instead of ``title`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7846). +- 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). +- gitlab_project_members - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_project_members`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467). +- gitlab_protected_branches - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_protected_branches`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467). +- gitlab_runner - fix pagination when checking for existing runners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790). +- gitlab_user - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_user`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467). +- 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). +- homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from ``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864). +- homebrew - do not fail when brew prints warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8406, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7044). +- 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). +- hponcfg - use new ``VarDict`` to prevent deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8410, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8411). +- 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). +- 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). +- 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). +- 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_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). +- 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). +- 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). +- kernel_blacklist - use new ``VarDict`` to prevent deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8410, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8411). +- 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). +- keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes`` to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223). +- keycloak_client - fix TypeError when sanitizing the ``saml.signing.private.key`` attribute in the module's diff or state output. The ``sanitize_cr`` function expected a dict where in some cases a list might occur (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8403). +- 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). +- 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_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224). +- 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). +- keycloak_user_federation - fix diff of empty ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8320). +- 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). +- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133). +- locale_gen - use new ``VarDict`` to prevent deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8410, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8411). +- 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). +- merge_variables lookup plugin - fixing cross host merge: providing access to foreign hosts variables to the perspective of the host that is performing the merge (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8303). +- mksysb - use new ``VarDict`` to prevent deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8410, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8411). +- 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). +- 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). +- ocapi_utils, oci_utils, redfish_utils module utils - replace ``type()`` calls with ``isinstance()`` calls (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7501). +- 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). +- 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). +- opentelemetry callback plugin - close spans always (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8367). +- opentelemetry callback plugin - honour the ``disable_logs`` option to avoid storing task results since they are not used regardless (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8373). +- pacemaker_cluster - actually implement check mode, which the module claims to support.
