+v1.3.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is the last minor 1.x.0 release. The next releases from the stable-1 branch will be 1.3.y patch releases.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the Hetzner Robot modules will be moved to the `community.hrobot <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/hrobot>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use Hetzner Robot modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.hrobot.`` instead of ``community.general.hetzner_``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.hetzner_firewall_info`` in a task by ``community.hrobot.firewall_info``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the Hetzner Robot modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.hrobot`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.hetzner_failover_ip`` instead of ``hetzner_failover_ip``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the ``docker`` modules and plugins will be moved to the `community.docker <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/docker>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use ``docker`` content from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.docker.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.docker_container`` in a task by ``community.docker.docker_container``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the ``docker`` content, you have to make sure to install the ``community.docker`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.docker_container`` instead of ``docker_container``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the ``postgresql`` modules and plugins will be moved to the `community.postgresql <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/postgresql>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use ``postgresql`` content from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.postgresql.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.postgresql_info`` in a task by ``community.postgresql.postgresql_info``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the ``postgresql`` content, you have to make sure to install the ``community.postgresql`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.postgresql_info`` instead of ``postgresql_info``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.posix collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1157).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Add new filter plugin ``dict_kv`` which returns a single key-value pair from two arguments. Useful for generating complex dictionaries without using loops. For example ``'value' | community.general.dict_kv('key'))`` evaluates to ``{'key': 'value'}`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1264).
+- archive - fix paramater types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1039).
+- consul - added support for tcp checks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1128).
+- datadog - mark ``notification_message`` as ``no_log`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1338).
+- datadog_monitor - add ``include_tags`` option (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/57441).
+- django_manage - renamed parameter ``app_path`` to ``project_path``, adding ``app_path`` and ``chdir`` as aliases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1044).
+- docker_container - now supports the ``device_requests`` option, which allows to request additional resources such as GPUs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/65748, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1119).
+- docker_image - return docker build output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/805).
+- docker_secret - add a warning when the secret does not have an ``ansible_key`` label but the ``force`` parameter is not set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/30, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/31).
+- facter - added option for ``arguments`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/768).
+- hashi_vault - support ``VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY`` environment variable for determining if to verify certificates (in addition to the ``validate_certs=`` flag supported today) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1024).
+- hashi_vault lookup plugin - add support for JWT authentication (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1213).
+- infoblox inventory script - use stderr for reporting errors, and allow use of environment for configuration (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/436).
+- ipa_host - silence warning about non-secret ``random_password`` option not having ``no_log`` set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1339).
+- ipa_user - silence warning about non-secret ``krbpasswordexpiration`` and ``update_password`` options not having ``no_log`` set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1339).
+- linode_v4 - added support for Linode StackScript usage when creating instances (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/723).
+- lvol - fix idempotency issue when using lvol with ``%VG`` or ``%PVS`` size options and VG is fully allocated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/229).
+- maven_artifact - added ``client_cert`` and ``client_key`` parameters to the maven_artifact module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1123).
+- module_helper - added ModuleHelper class and a couple of convenience tools for module developers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1322).
+- nmcli - refactor internal methods for simplicity and enhance reuse to support existing and future connection types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1113).
+- nmcli - remove Python DBus and GTK Object library dependencies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1112).
+- nmcli - the ``dns4``, ``dns4_search``, ``dns6``, and ``dns6_search`` arguments are retained internally as lists (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1113).
+- odbc - added a parameter ``commit`` which allows users to disable the explicit commit after the execute call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1139).
+- openbsd_pkg - added ``snapshot`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/965).
+- pacman - improve group expansion speed: query list of pacman groups once (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/349).
+- parted - add ``resize`` option to resize existing partitions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/773).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - added ``umask`` option to set the desired file permisions on creation. This is done via the ``PASSWORD_STORE_UMASK`` environment variable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1156).
+- pkgin - add support for installation of full versioned package names (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1256).
+- pkgng - present the ``ignore_osver`` option to pkg (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1243).
+- portage - add ``getbinpkgonly`` option, remove unnecessary note on internal portage behaviour (getbinpkg=yes), and remove the undocumented exclusiveness of the pkg options as portage makes no such restriction (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1169).
+- postgresql_info - add ``in_recovery`` return value to show if a service in recovery mode or not (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1068).
+- postgresql_privs - add ``procedure`` type support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1002).
+- postgresql_query - add ``query_list`` and ``query_all_results`` return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/838).

+- xfconf - removed unnecessary second execution of ``xfconf-query`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1305).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+

+v1.0.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is release 1.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2020-07-31.
+
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Add the ``gcpubsub``, ``gcpubsub_info`` and ``gcpubsub_facts`` (to be removed in 3.0.0) modules. These were originally in community.general, but removed on the assumption that they have been moved to google.cloud. Since this turned out to be incorrect, we re-added them for 1.0.0.
+- Add the deprecated ``gcp_backend_service``, ``gcp_forwarding_rule`` and ``gcp_healthcheck`` modules, which will be removed in 2.0.0. These were originally in community.general, but removed on the assumption that they have been moved to google.cloud. Since this turned out to be incorrect, we re-added them for 1.0.0.
+- The collection is now actively tested in CI with the latest Ansible 2.9 release.
+- airbrake_deployment - add ``version`` param; clarified docs on ``revision`` param (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/583).
+- apk - added ``no_cache`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/548).

+- gitlab_project - add support for merge_method on projects (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/66813).
+- gitlab_runners inventory plugin - permit environment variable input for ``server_url``, ``api_token`` and ``filter`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/611).
+- haproxy - add options to dis/enable health and agent checks.  When health and agent checks are enabled for a service, a disabled service will re-enable itself automatically.  These options also change the state of the agent checks to match the requested state for the backend (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/684).
+- log_plays callback - use v2 methods (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
+- logstash callback - add ini config (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/610).
+- lxd_container - added support of ``--target`` flag for cluster deployments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/637).
+- parted - accept negative numbers in ``part_start`` and ``part_end``
+- pkgng - added ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` attributes to the result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/560).
+- pkgng - added support for upgrading all packages using ``name: *, state: latest``, similar to other package providers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+- postgresql_query - add search_path parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/625).
+- rundeck_acl_policy - add check for rundeck_acl_policy name parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/612).

+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- log_plays callback - add missing information to the logs generated by the callback plugin. This changes the log message format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
+- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: absent`` will no longer remove every installed package from the system. It is now a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: latest`` or ``state: present`` will no longer install every package from the configured package repositories. Instead, ``name: *, state: latest`` will upgrade all already-installed packages, and ``name: *, state: present`` is a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- The ldap_attr module has been deprecated and will be removed in a later release; use ldap_attrs instead.

+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)

Otherwise, the service will be started on each play and stopped again immediately due to the ``stopped`` parameter and breaks the idempotency of the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/532).
+- docker_compose - disallow usage of the parameters ``stopped`` and ``restarted`` at the same time. This breaks also the idempotency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/532).

 - docker_container - the ``network_mode`` option will be set by default to the name of the first network in ``networks`` if at least one network is given and ``networks_cli_compatible`` is ``true`` (will be default from community.general 2.0.0 on).

 - redfish_config, redfish_command - Behavior to modify the first System, Mananger, or Chassis resource when multiple are present is deprecated. Use the new ``resource_id`` option to specify target resource to modify.
-- zabbix_proxy - deprecates ``interface`` sub-options ``type`` and ``main`` when proxy type is set to passive via ``status=passive``. Make sure these suboptions are removed from your playbook as they were never supported by Zabbix in the first place.

+        were not explicitly specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/704).
+      - docker_compose - add a condition to prevent service startup if parameter ``stopped``
+        is true. Otherwise, the service will be started on each play and stopped again
+        immediately due to the ``stopped`` parameter and breaks the idempotency of
+        the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/532).
+      - docker_compose - disallow usage of the parameters ``stopped`` and ``restarted``
+        at the same time. This breaks also the idempotency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/532).
+      - docker_container - use Config MacAddress by default instead of Networks. Networks
+        MacAddress is empty in some cases (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70206).
+      - docker_container - various error fixes in string handling for Python 2 to
+        avoid crashes when non-ASCII characters are used in strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/640).

+        by yarn executable (see https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/474).
+      - yarn - fixed an too many values to unpack error when scoped packages are installed
+        (see https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/474).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - The ldap_attr module has been deprecated and will be removed in a later release;
+        use ldap_attrs instead.
+      - xbps - the ``force`` option never had any effect. It is now deprecated, and
+        will be removed in 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/568).
+      minor_changes:
+      - Add the ``gcpubsub``, ``gcpubsub_info`` and ``gcpubsub_facts`` (to be removed
+        in 3.0.0) modules. These were originally in community.general, but removed
+        on the assumption that they have been moved to google.cloud. Since this turned
+        out to be incorrect, we re-added them for 1.0.0.
+      - Add the deprecated ``gcp_backend_service``, ``gcp_forwarding_rule`` and ``gcp_healthcheck``
+        modules, which will be removed in 2.0.0. These were originally in community.general,
+        but removed on the assumption that they have been moved to google.cloud. Since
+        this turned out to be incorrect, we re-added them for 1.0.0.
+      - The collection is now actively tested in CI with the latest Ansible 2.9 release.
+      - airbrake_deployment - add ``version`` param; clarified docs on ``revision``
+        param (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/583).
+      - apk - added ``no_cache`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/548).
+      - firewalld - the module has been moved to the ``ansible.posix`` collection.
+        A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/623).
+      - gitlab_project - add support for merge_method on projects (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/66813).
+      - gitlab_runners inventory plugin - permit environment variable input for ``server_url``,
+        ``api_token`` and ``filter`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/611).
+      - haproxy - add options to dis/enable health and agent checks.  When health
+        and agent checks are enabled for a service, a disabled service will re-enable
+        itself automatically.  These options also change the state of the agent checks
+        to match the requested state for the backend (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/684).
+      - log_plays callback - use v2 methods (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
+      - logstash callback - add ini config (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/610).
+      - lxd_container - added support of ``--target`` flag for cluster deployments
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/637).
+      - parted - accept negative numbers in ``part_start`` and ``part_end``
+      - pkgng - added ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` attributes to the result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/560).
+      - 'pkgng - added support for upgrading all packages using ``name: *, state:
+        latest``, similar to other package providers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).'
+      - postgresql_query - add search_path parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/625).
+      - rundeck_acl_policy - add check for rundeck_acl_policy name parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/612).
+      - slack - add support for sending messages built with block kit (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/380).
+      - splunk callback - add an option to allow not to validate certificate from
+        HEC (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/596).
+      - xfconf - add arrays support (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46308).
+      - xfconf - add support for ``uint`` type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/696).

-   - Both C(login_password) and C(login_user) are required when you are

-     default login of 'root' with no password.
-   - If there are problems with local connections, using I(login_unix_socket=/path/to/mysqld/socket)
-     instead of I(login_host=localhost) might help. As an example, the default MariaDB installation of version 10.4
