breaking_changes:
- - scaleway_container_registry_info - no longer replace ``secret_environment_variables``
- in the output by ``SENSITIVE_VALUE`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5497).
+ - collection_version lookup plugin - remove compatibility code for ansible-base
+ 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
+ - gitlab_project - add ``default_branch`` support for project update. If you
+ used the module so far with ``default_branch`` to update a project, the value
+ of ``default_branch`` was ignored. Make sure that you either do not pass a
+ value if you are not sure whether it is the one you want to have to avoid
+ unexpected breaking changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7158).
+ - selective callback plugin - remove compatibility code for Ansible 2.9 and
+ ansible-core 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
+ - vardict module utils - ``VarDict`` will no longer accept variables named ``_var``,
+ ``get_meta``, and ``as_dict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6647).
+ - version module util - remove fallback for ansible-core 2.11. All modules and
+ plugins that do version collections no longer work with ansible-core 2.11
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
bugfixes:
- - iso_create - the module somtimes failed to add folders for Joliet and UDF
- formats (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5275).
- - ldap_attrs - fix bug which caused a ``Bad search filter`` error. The error
- was occuring when the ldap attribute value contained special characters such
- as ``(`` or ``*`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5434,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5435).
- - snap - allow values in the ``options`` parameter to contain whitespaces (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5475).
+ - CmdRunner module utils - does not attempt to resolve path if executable is
+ a relative or absolute path (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7200).

+ not using dependencies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6644,
+ https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6639).
+ - bitwarden lookup plugin - the plugin made assumptions about the structure
+ of a Bitwarden JSON object which may have been broken by an update in the
+ Bitwarden API. Remove assumptions, and allow queries for general fields such
+ as ``notes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7061).
+ - cmd_runner module utils - when a parameter in ``argument_spec`` has no type,
+ meaning it is implicitly a ``str``, ``CmdRunner`` would fail trying to find
+ the ``type`` key in that dictionary (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6968).
+ - cobbler inventory plugin - fix calculation of cobbler_ipv4/6_address (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6925).
+ - composer - fix impossible to run ``working_dir`` dependent commands. The module
+ was throwing an error when trying to run a ``working_dir`` dependent command,
+ because it tried to get the command help without passing the ``working_dir``
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3787).
+ - csv module utils - detects and remove unicode BOM markers from incoming CSV
+ content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6662).
+ - datadog_downtime - presence of ``rrule`` param lead to the Datadog API returning
+ Bad Request due to a missing recurrence type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6811).

+ set. The module is now filtering out ``None`` values to remediate this (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6712).
+ - gitlab_group_variable - deleted all variables when used with ``purge=true``
+ due to missing ``raw`` property in KNOWN attributes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7250).
+ - gitlab_project_variable - deleted all variables when used with ``purge=true``
+ due to missing ``raw`` property in KNOWN attributes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7250).

+ snapshot volumes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1630,
+ https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7053).

+ - MH VarsMixin module utils - deprecates ``VarsMixin`` and supporting classes
+ in favor of plain ``vardict`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6649).
+ - ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211``
+ options have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).

+ more detailed information in the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7043).

+ 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7295).
+ - 'redhat module utils - the ``module_utils.redhat`` module is deprecated, as
+
+ effectively unused: the ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools`` classes
+
+ will be removed in community.general 9.0.0; the ``RegistrationBase`` class
+
+ will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 together with the
+
+ ``rhn_register`` module, as it is the only user of this class; this means
+
+ that the whole ``module_utils.redhat`` module will be dropped in
+
+ community.general 10.0.0, so importing it without even using anything of it
+
+ will fail
+
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6663).
+
+ '
+ - 'redhat_subscription - the ``autosubscribe`` alias for the ``auto_attach``
+ option has been
+
+ deprecated for many years, although only in the documentation. Officially

+
+ more precise and flexible ``pool_ids`` option
+
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6650).
+
+ '
+ - 'rhsm_repository - ``state=present`` has not been working as expected for
+ many years,
+
+ and it seems it was not noticed so far; also, "presence" is not really a valid
+ concept
+
+ for subscription repositories, which can only be enabled or disabled. Hence,
+ mark the
+
+ ``present`` and ``absent`` values of the ``state`` option as deprecated, slating
+ them
+
+ for removal in community.general 10.0.0
+
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6673).

- by sudoers (0440) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4814).

- module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
- - CmdMixin module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module util
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
- - CmdModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module
- util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
- - CmdStateModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner``
- module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
- - cmd_runner module utils - deprecated ``fmt`` in favour of ``cmd_runner_fmt``
- as the parameter format object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4777).
- - django_manage - support for Django releases older than 4.1 has been deprecated
- and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
- - django_manage - support for the commands ``cleanup``, ``syncdb`` and ``validate``
- that have been deprecated in Django long time ago will be removed in community.general
- 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
- - django_manage - the behavior of "creating the virtual environment when missing"
- is being deprecated and will be removed in community.general version 9.0.0
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5405).
- - gconftool2 - deprecates ``state=get`` in favor of using the module ``gconftool2_info``
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4778).
- - lxc_container - the module will no longer make any effort to support Python
- 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5304).
- - newrelic_deployment - ``appname`` and ``environment`` are no longer valid
- options in the v2 API. They will be removed in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
- - proxmox - deprecated the current ``unprivileged`` default value, will be changed
- to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/pull/5224).
- - xfconf - deprecated parameter ``disable_facts``, as since version 4.0.0 it
- only allows value ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4520).
- major_changes:
- - The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action
- plugins. 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).

- - 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).
- deprecated_features:
- - 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).
- minor_changes:
- - 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).
- release_summary: Regular bugfix and feature release.
+ - ocapi_utils, oci_utils, redfish_utils module utils - replace ``type()`` calls
+ with ``isinstance()`` calls (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7501).
+ - pipx module utils - change the CLI argument formatter for the ``pip_args``
+ parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7497,
+ https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7506).
+ release_summary: Bugfix release for inclusion in Ansible 9.0.0rc1.

- - gitlab_deploy_key - also update ``title`` and not just ``can_push`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5888).
- - keycloak_user_federation - fixes federation creation issue. 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).

- and ``forking_access_level`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5706).
- - gitlab_runner - add new boolean option ``access_level_on_creation``. It controls,
- whether the value of ``access_level`` is used for runner registration or not.
- The option ``access_level`` has been ignored on registration so far and was
- only used on updates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5907,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5908).

+ - 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).
+ - elastic callback plugin - close elastic client to not leak resources (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7517).

+ - 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).

+ ``SSHFP`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7489).
+ - nmcli - add support for new connection type ``loopback`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6572).

+ inventory generation. The new setting is optional, not using this option will
+ behave as usual (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6714,
+ https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7461).
+ - proxmox_disk - add ability to manipulate CD-ROM drive (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7495).

changes:
bugfixes:
- - archive - avoid deprecated exception class on Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6180).
- - gitlab_runner - fix ``KeyError`` on runner creation and update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6112).
- - influxdb_user - fix running in check mode when the user does not exist yet
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6111).
- - interfaces_file - fix reading options in lines not starting with a space (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6120).
- - jail 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/6118).
- - memset - fix memset urlerror handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6114).
- - nmcli - fixed idempotency issue for bridge connections. 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).
+ - 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).
minor_changes:
- - apt_rpm - adds ``clean``, ``dist_upgrade`` and ``update_kernel`` parameters
- for clear caches, complete upgrade system, and upgrade kernel packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5867).
- - dconf - parse GVariants for equality comparison when the Python module ``gi.repository``
- is available (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6049).
- - gitlab_runner - allow to register group runner (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3935).
- - jira - add worklog functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6209,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6210).
- - ldap modules - add ``ca_path`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6185).
- - make - add ``command`` return value to the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6160).
- - nmap inventory plugin - add new option ``open`` for only returning open ports
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6200).
- - nmap inventory plugin - add new option ``port`` for port specific scan (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6165).
- - nmcli - add ``default`` and ``default-or-eui64`` to the list of valid choices
- for ``addr_gen_mode6`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5974).
- - nmcli - add support for ``team.runner-fast-rate`` parameter for ``team`` connections
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6065).
- - openbsd_pkg - set ``TERM`` to ``'dumb'`` in ``execute_command()`` to make
- module less dependant on the ``TERM`` environment variable set on the Ansible
- controller (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6149).
- - pipx - optional ``install_apps`` parameter added to install applications from
- injected packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6198).
- - proxmox_kvm - add new ``archive`` parameter. This is needed to create a VM
- from an archive (backup) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6159).
- - redfish_info - adds commands to retrieve the HPE ThermalConfiguration and
- FanPercentMinimum settings from iLO (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6208).
- - redhat_subscription - credentials (``username``, ``activationkey``, and so
- on) are required now only if a system needs to be registered, or ``force_register``
- is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5664).
- - redhat_subscription - the registration is done using the D-Bus ``rhsm`` service
- instead of spawning a ``subscription-manager register`` command, if possible;
- this avoids passing plain-text credentials as arguments to ``subscription-manager
- register``, which can be seen while that command runs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6122).
- - ssh_config - add ``proxyjump`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5970).

+ - 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).
+ - keycloak_realm_key - the ``config.algorithm`` option now supports 8 additional
+ key algorithms (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7698).

+ 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 - allow custom user storage providers to be set through
+ ``provider_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7789).
+ - mail - add ``Message-ID`` header; which is required by some mail servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7740).
+ - mail module, mail callback plugin - allow to configure the domain name of
+ the Message-ID header with a new ``message_id_domain`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7765).
+ - ssh_config - new feature to set ``AddKeysToAgent`` option to ``yes`` or ``no``
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7703).

+ in ``category=Raw``) without a specific action info (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7746).
+ release_summary: Regular bugfix and feature release.

changes:
bugfixes:
- - archive - reduce RAM usage by generating CRC32 checksum over chunks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6274).
- - flatpak - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could
- fail to properly detect already existing Flatpaks because of a parameter witch
- only checks the installed apps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6289).
- - icinga2_host - fix the data structure sent to Icinga to make use of host templates
- and template vars (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6286).
- - idrac_redfish_command - allow user to specify ``resource_id`` for ``CreateBiosConfigJob``
- to specify an exact manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2090).
- - ini_file - make ``section`` parameter not required so it is possible to pass
- ``null`` as a value. This only was possible in the past due to a bug in ansible-core
- that now has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6404).
- - keycloak - improve error messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6318).
- - one_vm - fix syntax error when creating VMs with a more complex template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6225).
- - pipx - fixed handling of ``install_deps=true`` with ``state=latest`` and ``state=upgrade``
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6303).
- - redhat_subscription - do not use D-Bus for registering when ``environment``
- is specified, so it possible to specify again the environment names for registering,
- as the D-Bus APIs work only with IDs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6319).
- - redhat_subscription - try to unregister only when already registered when
- ``force_register`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6258,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6259).
- - redhat_subscription - use the right D-Bus options for environments when registering
- a CentOS Stream 8 system and using ``environment`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6275).
- - rhsm_release - make ``release`` parameter not required so it is possible to
- pass ``null`` as a value. This only was possible in the past due to a bug
- in ansible-core that now has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6401).
- - rundeck module utils - fix errors caused by the API empty responses (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300)
- - rundeck_acl_policy - fix ``TypeError - byte indices must be integers or slices,
- not str`` error caused by empty API response. Update the module to use ``module_utils.rundeck``
- functions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5887,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300).
- - rundeck_project - update the module to use ``module_utils.rundeck`` functions
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5742) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300)
- - snap_alias - module would only recognize snap names containing letter, numbers
- or the underscore character, failing to identify valid snap names such as
- ``lxd.lxc`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6361).
+ - homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from
+ ``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864).
+ - 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).
+ - 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).
+ - 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).
+ - 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).
+ - proxmox - fix updating a container config if the setting does not already
+ exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7872).
+ deprecated_features:
+ - 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).
minor_changes:
- - cpanm - minor change, use feature from ``ModuleHelper`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6385).
- - 'dconf - be forgiving about boolean values: convert them to GVariant booleans
- automatically (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6206).'

- - dig lookup plugin - Support multiple domains to be queried as indicated in
- docs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6334).
- - gitlab_project - add new option ``topics`` for adding topics to GitLab projects
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6278).

- of 'form-flow' sub flows like in Keycloak's built-in registration flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6318).
- - mksysb - improved the output of the module in case of errors (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6263).
- - nmap inventory plugin - added environment variables for configure ``address``
- and ``exclude`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6351).
- - nmcli - add ``macvlan`` connection type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6312).
- - pipx - add ``system_site_packages`` parameter to give application access to
- system-wide packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6308).
- - pipx - ensure ``include_injected`` parameter works with ``state=upgrade``
- and ``state=latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6212).
- - puppet - add new options ``skip_tags`` to exclude certain tagged resources
- during a puppet agent or apply (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6293).
- - terraform - remove state file check condition and error block, because in
- the native implementation of terraform will not cause errors due to the non-existent
- file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6296).
- - udm_dns_record - minor refactor to the code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6382).

+ 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).

changes:
bugfixes:
- - deps module utils - do not fail when dependency cannot be found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6479).
- - nmcli - fix bond option ``xmit_hash_policy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6527).
- - passwordstore lookup plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.16 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6447).
- - portage - fix ``changed_use`` and ``newuse`` not triggering rebuilds (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6008,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6548).
- - 'portage - update the logic for generating the emerge command arguments to
- ensure that ``withbdeps: false`` results in a passing an ``n`` argument with
- the ``--with-bdeps`` emerge flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6451,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6456).'
- - proxmox_tasks_info - remove ``api_user`` + ``api_password`` constraint from
- ``required_together`` as it causes to require ``api_password`` even when API
- token param is used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6201).
- - puppet - handling ``noop`` parameter was not working at all, now it is has
- been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6452,
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6458).
- - terraform - fix broken ``warn()`` call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6497).
- - xfs_quota - in case of a project quota, the call to ``xfs_quota`` did not
- initialize/reset the project (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5143).
- - zypper - added handling of zypper exitcode 102. Changed state is set correctly
- now and rc 102 is still preserved to be evaluated by the playbook (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6534).
+ - '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

changes:
bugfixes:
- - csv module utils - detects and remove unicode BOM markers from incoming CSV
- content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6662).
- - gitlab_group - the module passed parameters to the API call even when not
- set. The module is now filtering out ``None`` values to remediate this (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6712).
- - ini_file - fix a bug where the inactive options were not used when possible
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6575).
- - keycloak module utils - fix ``is_struct_included`` handling of lists of lists/dictionaries
- (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6688).
- - keycloak module utils - the function ``get_user_by_username`` now return the
- user representation or ``None`` as stated in the documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6758).
- release_summary: Regular bugfix release.
+ - aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option
+ order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
+ - consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091).
+ - 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).
+ - 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_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).
+ - linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory
+ plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).
+ - pacemaker_cluster - actually implement check mode, which the module claims
+ to support. This means that until now the module also did changes in check
+ mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8081).
+ - pam_limits - when the file does not exist, do not create it in check mode
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8050, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8057).
+ - proxmox_kvm - fixed status check getting from node-specific API endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7817).
+ minor_changes:
+ - 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).
+ - 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 - support optional spaces between section names and their surrounding
+ brackets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8075).
+ - java_cert - enable ``owner``, ``group``, ``mode``, and other generic file
+ arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8116).
+ - ldap_attrs - module now supports diff mode, showing which attributes are changed
+ within an operation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8073).
+ - lxd_container - uses ``/1.0/instances`` API endpoint, if available. Falls
+ back to ``/1.0/containers`` or ``/1.0/virtual-machines``. Fixes issue when
+ using Incus or LXD 5.19 due to migrating to ``/1.0/instances`` endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7980).
+ - nmcli - allow setting ``MTU`` for ``bond-slave`` interface types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8118).
+ - proxmox - adds ``startup`` parameters to configure startup order, startup
+ delay and shutdown delay (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8038).
+ - revbitspss lookup plugin - removed a redundant unicode prefix. The prefix
+ was not necessary for Python 3 and has been cleaned up to streamline the code
+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8087).
+ release_summary: Regular feature and bugfix release with security fixes.
+ security_fixes:
+ - cobbler, gitlab_runners, icinga2, linode, lxd, nmap, online, opennebula, proxmox,
+ scaleway, stackpath_compute, virtualbox, and xen_orchestra inventory plugin
+ - make sure all data received from the remote servers is marked as unsafe,
+ so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated as templates
+ is not possible (https://www.die-welt.net/2024/03/remote-code-execution-in-ansible-dynamic-inventory-plugins/,
+ https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8098).
