-v10.1.0
-=======
+v5.0.0
+======
 
 Release Summary
 ---------------
 
-Regular bugfix and feature release.
+This is release 5.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2022-05-17.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- The community.general collection no longer supports Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10. While we take no active measures to prevent usage, we will remove a lot of compatibility code and other compatility measures that will effectively prevent using most content from this collection with Ansible 2.9, and some content of this collection with ansible-base 2.10. Both Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to ansible-core 2.11 or later as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).

 Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
 --------------------------------
 
-- The collection no longer supports ansible-core 2.13 and ansible-core 2.14. While most (or even all) modules and plugins might still work with these versions, they are no longer tested in CI and breakages regarding them will not be fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8921).
-- cmd_runner module utils - CLI arguments created directly from module parameters are no longer assigned a default formatter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8928).
-- irc - the defaults of ``use_tls`` and ``validate_certs`` changed from ``false`` to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8918).
-- rhsm_repository - the states ``present`` and ``absent`` have been removed. Use ``enabled`` and ``disabled`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8918).
+- Parts of this collection do not work with ansible-core 2.11 on Python 3.12+. Please either upgrade to ansible-core 2.12+, or use Python 3.11 or earlier (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).
+- The symbolic links used to implement flatmapping for all modules were removed and replaced by ``meta/runtime.yml`` redirects. This effectively breaks compatibility with Ansible 2.9 for all modules (without using their "long" names, which is discouraged and which can change without previous notice since they are considered an implementation detail) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- a_module test plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- archive - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- git_config - remove Ansible 2.9 and early ansible-base 2.10 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- java_keystore - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- lists_mergeby and groupby_as_dict filter plugins - adjust filter plugin filename. This change is not visible to end-users, it only affects possible other collections importing Python paths (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4625).
+- lists_mergeby filter plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- maven_artifact - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- memcached cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- path_join filter plugin shim - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- redis cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- yarn - remove unsupported and unnecessary ``--no-emoji`` flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4662).
 
 Deprecated Features
 -------------------
 
-- CmdRunner module util - setting the value of the ``ignore_none`` parameter within a ``CmdRunner`` context is deprecated and that feature should be removed in community.general 12.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8479).
-- MH decorator cause_changes module utils - deprecate parameters ``on_success`` and ``on_failure`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8791).
-- git_config - the ``list_all`` option has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 11.0.0. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8453).
-- git_config - using ``state=present`` without providing ``value`` is deprecated and will be disallowed in community.general 11.0.0. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info`` module instead to read a value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8453).
-- hipchat - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The module is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 11.0.0 if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8919).
-- pipx - support for versions of the command line tool ``pipx`` older than ``1.7.0`` is deprecated and will be removed in community.general 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8793).
-- pipx_info - support for versions of the command line tool ``pipx`` older than ``1.7.0`` is deprecated and will be removed in community.general 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8793).
+- ansible_galaxy_install - deprecated support for ``ansible`` 2.9 and ``ansible-base`` 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4601).
+- dig lookup plugin - the ``DLV`` record type has been decommissioned in 2017 and support for it will be removed from community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4618).
+- gem - the default of the ``norc`` option has been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 6.0.0. Explicitly specify a value to avoid a deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4517).
+- mail callback plugin - not specifying ``sender`` is deprecated and will be disallowed in community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4140).
+- module_helper module utils - deprecated the attribute ``ModuleHelper.VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3801).
+- nmcli - deprecate default hairpin mode for a bridge. This so we can change it to ``false`` in community.general 7.0.0, as this is also the default in ``nmcli`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4334).
+- pacman - from community.general 5.0.0 on, the ``changed`` status of ``update_cache`` will no longer be ignored if ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified. To keep the old behavior, add something like ``register: result`` and ``changed_when: result.packages | length > 0`` to your task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - the current default ``true`` of the ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host`` option has been deprecated. The default will change to ``false`` in community.general 6.0.0. To keep the current behavior, explicitly set ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host`` to ``true`` in your inventory configuration. We suggest to already switch to the new behavior by explicitly setting it to ``false``, and by using ``compose:`` to set ``ansible_host`` to the correct value. See the examples in the plugin documentation for details (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4466).
+- vmadm - deprecated module parameter ``debug`` that was not used anywhere (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4580).

 Known Issues
 ------------
 
-- jenkins_node - the module is not able to update offline message when node is already offline due to internally using toggleOffline API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9084).
+- pacman - ``update_cache`` cannot differentiate between up to date and outdated package lists and will report ``changed`` in both situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).
+- pacman - binaries specified in the ``executable`` parameter must support ``--print-format`` in order to be used by this module. In particular, AUR helper ``yay`` is known not to currently support it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4312).

 * Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
 * Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
 * Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged.

+4. For modules and action plugins, make sure to create your module/plugin in the correct subdirectory, and add a redirect entry
+   in `meta/runtime.yml`. For example, for the `aerospike_migrations` module located in
+   `plugins/modules/database/aerospike/aerospike_migrations.py`, you need to create the following entry:
+   ```.yaml
+       aerospike_migrations:
+         redirect: community.general.database.aerospike.aerospike_migrations
+   ```
+   Here, the relative path `database/aerospike/` is inserted into the module's FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name) after the

 5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
    same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
    listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.
 
    When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.

+## pre-commit
+
+To help ensure high-quality contributions this repository includes a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) configuration which
+corrects and tests against common issues that would otherwise cause CI to fail. To begin using these pre-commit hooks see
+the [Installation](#installation) section below.
+
+This is optional and not required to contribute to this repository.
+
+### Installation
+
+Follow the [instructions](https://pre-commit.com/#install) provided with pre-commit and run `pre-commit install` under the repository base. If for any reason you would like to disable the pre-commit hooks run `pre-commit uninstall`.
+
+This is optional to run it locally.
+
+You can trigger it locally with `pre-commit run --all-files` or even to run only for a given file `pre-commit run --files YOUR_FILE`.

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

 Merging lists of dictionaries
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby <community.general.lists_mergeby#filter>` filter.
+If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.
 
-.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See the documentation for the :ansplugin:`community.general.yaml callback plugin <community.general.yaml#callback>`.

 Let us use the lists below in the following examples:

 {% endfor %}
 
-The filter also accepts two optional parameters: :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive` and :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
+The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
 
 **recursive**
-    Is a boolean, default to ``false``. Should the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` filter recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
