Module forced default value of ``bridge.priority`` to nmcli if not set; if ``bridge.stp`` is disabled nmcli ignores it and keep default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3216, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4683). -- nmcli - fixed idempotency issue when module params is set to ``may_fail4=false`` and ``method4=disabled``; in this case nmcli ignores change and keeps their own default value ``yes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6106). -- nmcli - implemented changing mtu value on vlan interfaces (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4387). -- opkg - fixes bug when using ``update_cache=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6004). -- redhat_subscription, rhsm_release, rhsm_repository - cleanly fail when not running as root, rather than hanging on an interactive ``console-helper`` prompt; they all interact with ``subscription-manager``, which already requires to be run as root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/734, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6211). -- xenorchestra inventory plugin - fix failure to receive objects from server due to not checking the id of the response (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6227). -- yarn - fix ``global=true`` to not fail when `executable` wasn't specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6132) -- yarn - fixes bug where yarn module tasks would fail when warnings were emitted from Yarn. The ``yarn.list`` method was not filtering out warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6127). +- 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). New Plugins ----------- -Lookup +Callback +~~~~~~~~ + +- default_without_diff - The default ansible callback without diff output + +Filter ~~~~~~ -- merge_variables - merge variables with a certain suffix +- lists_difference - Difference of lists with a predictive order +- lists_intersect - Intersection of lists with a predictive order +- lists_symmetric_difference - Symmetric Difference of lists with a predictive order +- lists_union - Union of lists with a predictive order New Modules ----------- -- kdeconfig - Manage KDE configuration files +- gitlab_group_access_token - Manages GitLab group access tokens +- gitlab_project_access_token - Manages GitLab project access tokens -v6.4.0 +v8.3.0 ====== Release Summary --------------- -Regular feature and bugfix release. +Regular bugfix and feature release.

Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release, it was not possible to add such variables to the output `due to a bug <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755>`__ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5765). +- 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). -Deprecated Features -------------------- +New Plugins +----------- -- consul - deprecate using parameters unused for ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5772). -- gitlab_runner - the default of the new option ``access_level_on_creation`` will change from ``false`` to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0.

When a new federation was created and at the same time a default / standard mapper was also changed / updated the creation process failed as a bad None set variable led to a bad malformed url request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5750). -- keycloak_user_federation - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could fail to properly detect already existing user federations because of a buggy seemingly superflous extra query parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5732). -- loganalytics callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761). -- logdna callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761). -- logstash callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761). -- nsupdate - fix zone lookup.

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). -- cmd_runner module utils - ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool()`` can now take an extra parameter to format when value is false (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5647). -- gconftool2 - refactor using ``ModuleHelper`` and ``CmdRunner`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5545). -- java_certs - add more detailed error output when extracting certificate from PKCS12 fails (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5550). -- jenkins_plugin - refactor code to module util to fix sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5565). -- lxd_project - refactored code out to module utils to clear sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5549). -- nmap inventory plugin - add new options ``udp_scan``, ``icmp_timestamp``, and ``dns_resolve`` for different types of scans (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5566). -- rax_scaling_group - refactored out code to the ``rax`` module utils to clear the sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5563). -- redfish_command - add ``PerformRequestedOperations`` command to perform any operations necessary to continue the update flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276). -- redfish_command - add ``update_apply_time`` to ``SimpleUpdate`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3910). -- redfish_command - add ``update_status`` to output of ``SimpleUpdate`` command to allow a user monitor the update in progress (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276). -- redfish_info - add ``GetUpdateStatus`` command to check the progress of a previous update request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276). -- redfish_utils module utils - added PUT (``put_request()``) functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5490). -- slack - add option ``prepend_hash`` which allows to control whether a ``#`` is prepended to ``channel_id``. The current behavior (value ``auto``) is to prepend ``#`` unless some specific prefixes are found. That list of prefixes is incomplete, and there does not seem to exist a documented condition on when exactly ``#`` must not be prepended. We recommend to explicitly set ``prepend_hash=always`` or ``prepend_hash=never`` to avoid any ambiguity (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5629). -- spotinst_aws_elastigroup - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5553). -- ssh_config - add ``host_key_algorithms`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5605). -- udm_share - added ``elements`` attribute to ``list`` type parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5557). -- udm_user - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5559). +New Plugins +----------- -Deprecated Features -------------------- +Lookup +~~~~~~ -- The ``sap`` modules ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query``, will be removed from this collection in community.general 7.0.0 and replaced with redirects to ``community.sap_libs``. If you want to continue using these modules, make sure to also install ``community.sap_libs`` (it is part of the Ansible package) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5614). +- onepassword_doc - Fetch documents stored in 1Password -Bugfixes --------- +Test +~~~~ -- chroot connection plugin - add ``inventory_hostname`` to vars under ``remote_addr``. This is needed for compatibility with ansible-core 2.13 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5570). -- cmd_runner module utils - fixed bug when handling default cases in ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538). -- cmd_runner module utils - formatting arguments ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed()`` was expecting an non-existing argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538). -- keycloak_client_rolemapping - calculate ``proposed`` and ``after`` return values properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619). -- keycloak_client_rolemapping - remove only listed mappings with ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619). -- proxmox inventory plugin - fix bug while templating when using templates for the ``url``, ``user``, ``password``, ``token_id``, or ``token_secret`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5640). -- proxmox inventory plugin - handle tags delimited by semicolon instead of comma, which happens from Proxmox 7.3 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5602). -- redhat_subscription - do not ignore ``consumer_name`` and other variables if ``activationkey`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3486, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5627). -- redhat_subscription - do not pass arguments to ``subscription-manager register`` for things already configured; now a specified ``rhsm_baseurl`` is properly set for subscription-manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5583). -- unixy callback plugin - fix plugin to work with ansible-core 2.14 by using Ansible's configuration manager for handling options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5600). -- vdo - now uses ``yaml.safe_load()`` to parse command output instead of the deprecated ``yaml.load()`` which is potentially unsafe. Using ``yaml.load()`` without explicitely setting a ``Loader=`` is also an error in pyYAML 6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5632). -- vmadm - fix for index out of range error in ``get_vm_uuid`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5628). +- fqdn_valid - Validates fully-qualified domain names against RFC 1123 New Modules ----------- -- gitlab_project_badge - Manage project badges on GitLab Server -- keycloak_clientsecret_info - Retrieve client secret via Keycloak API -- keycloak_clientsecret_regenerate - Regenerate Keycloak client secret via Keycloak API +- git_config_info - Read git configuration +- gitlab_issue - Create, update, or delete GitLab issues +- nomad_token - Manage Nomad ACL tokens -v6.0.1 +v8.0.2 ====== Release Summary --------------- -Bugfix release for Ansible 7.0.0. +Bugfix release for inclusion in Ansible 9.0.0rc1.

These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change. Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461). -- newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341). +v8.0.0 +====== + +Release Summary +--------------- + +This is release 8.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2023-11-01.
