+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix and feature release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- 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).
+- git_config - allow multiple git configs for the same name with the new ``add_mode`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
+- git_config - the ``after`` and ``before`` fields in the ``diff`` of the return value can be a list instead of a string in case more configs with the same key are affected (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
+- git_config - when a value is unset, all configs with the same key are unset (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
+- gitlab modules - add ``ca_path`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7472).
+- gitlab modules - remove duplicate ``gitlab`` package check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7486).
+- gitlab_runner - add support for new runner creation workflow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7199).
+- ipa_config - adds ``passkey`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's choices (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7588).
+- ipa_sudorule - adds options to include denied commands or command groups (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7415).
+- ipa_user - adds ``idp`` and ``passkey`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's choices (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7589).
+- irc - add ``validate_certs`` option, and rename ``use_ssl`` to ``use_tls``, while keeping ``use_ssl`` as an alias. The default value for ``validate_certs`` is ``false`` for backwards compatibility. We recommend to every user of this module to explicitly set ``use_tls=true`` and `validate_certs=true`` whenever possible, especially when communicating to IRC servers over the internet (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7550).
+- keycloak module utils - expose error message from Keycloak server for HTTP errors in some specific situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7645).
+- keycloak_user_federation - add option for ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7538).
+- lvol - change ``pvs`` argument type to list of strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7676, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7504).
+- lxd connection plugin - tighten the detection logic for lxd ``Instance not found`` errors, to avoid false detection on unrelated errors such as ``/usr/bin/python3: not found`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7521).
+- netcup_dns - adds support for record types ``OPENPGPKEY``, ``SMIMEA``, and ``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).
+- nmcli - allow for ``infiniband`` slaves of ``bond`` interface types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7569).
+- nmcli - allow for the setting of ``MTU`` for ``infiniband`` and ``bond`` interface types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7499).
+- onepassword lookup plugin - support 1Password Connect with the opv2 client by setting the connect_host and connect_token parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7116).
+- onepassword_raw lookup plugin - support 1Password Connect with the opv2 client by setting the connect_host and connect_token parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7116)
+- passwordstore - adds ``timestamp`` and ``preserve`` parameters to modify the stored password format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7426).
+- proxmox - adds ``template`` value to the ``state`` parameter, allowing conversion of container to a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7143).
+- proxmox - adds ``update`` parameter, allowing update of an already existing containers configuration (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7540).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - adds an option to exclude nodes from the dynamic 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).
+- proxmox_kvm - adds ``template`` value to the ``state`` parameter, allowing conversion of a VM to a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7143).
+- proxmox_kvm - support the ``hookscript`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7600).
+- proxmox_ostype - it is now possible to specify the ``ostype`` when creating an LXC container (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7462).
+- proxmox_vm_info - add ability to retrieve configuration info (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7485).
+- redfish_info - adding the ``BootProgress`` property when getting ``Systems`` info (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7626).

+- keycloak_* - fix Keycloak API client to quote ``/`` properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7641).

+- onepassword lookup plugin - field and section titles are now case insensitive when using op CLI version two or later. This matches the behavior of version one (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7564).
+- 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).

+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- 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).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- CmdRunner module utils - deprecate ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_default_type()`` formatter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6601).
+- 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).
+- consul - the ``ack_params_state_absent`` option has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+- cpanm - value ``compatibility`` is deprecated as default for parameter ``mode`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6512).
+- ejabberd_user - deprecate the parameter ``logging`` in favour of producing more detailed information in the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7043).
+- flowdock - module relies entirely on no longer responsive API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6930).
+- proxmox - old feature flag ``proxmox_default_behavior`` will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6836).
+- proxmox_kvm - deprecate the option ``proxmox_default_behavior`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7377).
+- redfish_info, redfish_config, redfish_command - the default value ``10`` for the ``timeout`` option is deprecated and will change to ``60`` in community.general 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 mark this alias
+  as deprecated, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
+  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6646).
+- redhat_subscription - the ``pool`` option is deprecated in favour of the
+  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).

+- webfaction_domain - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
+- webfaction_mailbox - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).
+- webfaction_site - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6909).

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).

+- rhsm_repository - when using the ``purge`` option, the ``repositories``
+  dictionary element in the returned JSON is now properly updated according

+- snap - assume default track ``latest`` in parameter ``channel`` when not specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6835, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6821).
+- snap - change the change detection mechanism from "parsing installation" to "comparing end state with initial state" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7340, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7265).
+- snap - fix crash when multiple snaps are specified and one has ``---`` in its description (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7046).

+- sorcery - fix queue generation before the whole system rebuild (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7012).
+- sorcery - latest state no longer triggers update_cache (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7012).
+- terraform - prevents ``-backend-config`` option double encapsulating with ``shlex_quote`` function. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7301).
+- tss lookup plugin - fix multiple issues when using ``fetch_attachments=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6720).

 ancestor: 7.0.0
-releases: {}
+releases:
+  8.0.0:
+    changes:
+      breaking_changes:
+      - 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:
+      - 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).
+      - MH DependencyMixin module utils - deprecation notice was popping up for modules
+        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).
+      - ejabberd_user - module was failing to detect whether user was already created
+        and/or password was changed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7033).
+      - ejabberd_user - provide meaningful error message when the ``ejabberdctl``
+        command is not found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7028,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6949).
+      - github_deploy_key - fix pagination behaviour causing a crash when only a single
+        page of deploy keys exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7375).
+      - 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).
+      - 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).
+      - icinga2_host - fix a key error when updating an existing host (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6748).
+      - ini_file - add the ``follow`` paramter to follow the symlinks instead of replacing
+        them (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6546).
+      - ini_file - fix a bug where the inactive options were not used when possible
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6575).
+      - ipa_dnszone - fix 'idnsallowsyncptr' key error for reverse zone (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6906,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6905).
+      - kernel_blacklist - simplified the mechanism to update the file, fixing the
+        error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7382,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7362).
+      - keycloak module util - fix missing ``http_agent``, ``timeout``, and ``validate_certs``
+        ``open_url()`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7067).

+        user representation or ``None`` as stated in the documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6758).
+      - keycloak_authentication - fix Keycloak authentication flow (step or sub-flow)
+        indexing during update, if not specified by the user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6734).
+      - keycloak_client inventory plugin - fix missing client secret (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6931).
+      - ldap_search - fix string normalization and the ``base64_attributes`` option
+        on Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5704,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7264).
+      - locale_gen - now works for locales without the underscore character such as
+        ``C.UTF-8`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6774,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5142, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4305).
+      - lvol - add support for percentage of origin size specification when creating
+        snapshot volumes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1630,

+      - lxc connection plugin - now handles ``remote_addr`` defaulting to ``inventory_hostname``
+        correctly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7104).

+      - machinectl become plugin - mark plugin as ``require_tty`` to automatically
+        disable pipelining, with which this plugin is not compatible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6932,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6935).
+      - mail - skip headers containing equals characters due to missing ``maxsplit``
+        on header key/value parsing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7303).
+      - memset module utils - make compatible with ansible-core 2.17 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7379).
+      - nmap inventory plugin - fix ``get_option`` calls (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7323).
+      - nmap inventory plugin - now uses ``get_option`` in all cases to get its configuration
+        information (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7119).
+      - nmcli - fix bond option ``xmit_hash_policy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6527).

+        that is not filled out in OnePassword item (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7241).
+      - openbsd_pkg - the pkg_info(1) behavior has changed in OpenBSD >7.3. The error
+        message ``Can't find`` should not lead to an error case (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6785).
+      - pacman - module recognizes the output of ``yay`` running as ``root`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6713).
+      - 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).
+      - pritunl module utils - fix incorrect URL parameter for orgnization add method

+      - proxmox module utils - add logic to detect whether an old Promoxer complains
+        about the ``token_name`` and ``token_value`` parameters and provide a better
+        error message when that happens (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6839,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5371).

+        being appended (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6770).
+      - proxmox_kvm - ``absent`` state with ``force`` specified failed to stop the
+        VM due to the ``timeout`` value not being passed to ``stop_vm`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6827).

+      - proxmox_template - require ``requests_toolbelt`` module to fix issue with

+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6908, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5715).
+      - snap - module is now aware of channel when deciding whether to install or
+        refresh the snap (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6435,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1606).
+      - sorcery - add grimoire (repository) management support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7012).
+      - sorcery - minor refactor (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6525).
+      - supervisorctl - allow to stop matching running processes before removing them
+        with ``stop_before_removing=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7284).
+      - tss lookup plugin - allow to fetch secret IDs which are in a folder based
+        on folder ID. Previously, we could not fetch secrets based on folder ID but
+        now use ``fetch_secret_ids_from_folder`` option to indicate to fetch secret
+        IDs based on folder ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6223).
+      - tss lookup plugin - allow to fetch secret by path. Previously, we could not
+        fetch secret by path but now use ``secret_path`` option to indicate to fetch
+        secret by secret path (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6881).
+      - unixy callback plugin - add support for ``check_mode_markers`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7179).

+      - xenserver_guest_info - minor refactor removing unnecessary code statements
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6928).
+      - xenserver_guest_powerstate - minor refactor removing unnecessary code statements
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6928).
+      - yum_versionlock - add support to pin specific package versions instead of
+        only the package itself (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6861,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4470).
+      release_summary: This is release 8.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on
+        2023-11-01.
+      removed_features:
+      - The collection no longer supports ansible-core 2.11 and ansible-core 2.12.
+        Parts of the collection might still work on these ansible-core versions, but
+        others might not (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
+      - ansible_galaxy_install - support for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 has
+        been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - consul - when ``state=absent``, the options ``script``, ``ttl``, ``tcp``,
+        ``http``, and ``interval`` can no longer be specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - gconftool2 - ``state=get`` has been removed. Use the module ``community.general.gconftool2_info``
+        instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - gitlab_runner - remove the default value for the ``access_level`` option.
+        To restore the previous behavior, explicitly set it to ``ref_protected`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - htpasswd - removed code for passlib <1.6 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6901).
+      - manageiq_polices - ``state=list`` has been removed. Use the module ``community.general.manageiq_policies_info``
+        instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - manageiq_tags - ``state=list`` has been removed. Use the module ``community.general.manageiq_tags_info``
+        instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - mh.mixins.cmd module utils - the ``ArgFormat`` class has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - mh.mixins.cmd module utils - the ``CmdMixin`` mixin has been removed. Use
+        ``community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner.CmdRunner`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - mh.mixins.cmd module utils - the mh.mixins.cmd module utils has been removed
+        after all its contents were removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - mh.module_helper module utils - the ``CmdModuleHelper`` and ``CmdStateModuleHelper``
+        classes have been removed. Use ``community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner.CmdRunner``
+        instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
+      - proxmox module utils - removed unused imports (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6873).
+      - xfconf - the deprecated ``disable_facts`` option was removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).

+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7610, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7612).
+      - irc - replace ``ssl.wrap_socket`` that was removed from Python 3.12 with code
+        for creating a proper SSL context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7542).
+      - keycloak_* - fix Keycloak API client to quote ``/`` properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7641).
+      - keycloak_authz_permission - resource payload variable for scope-based permission
+        was constructed as a string, when it needs to be a list, even for a single
+        item (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7151).
+      - log_entries callback plugin - replace ``ssl.wrap_socket`` that was removed
+        from Python 3.12 with code for creating a proper SSL context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7542).
+      - lvol - test for output messages in both ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7601,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7182).
+      - onepassword lookup plugin - field and section titles are now case insensitive
+        when using op CLI version two or later. This matches the behavior of version
+        one (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7564).
+      - '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).
+      minor_changes:
+      - 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).
+      - git_config - allow multiple git configs for the same name with the new ``add_mode``
+        option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
+      - git_config - the ``after`` and ``before`` fields in the ``diff`` of the return
+        value can be a list instead of a string in case more configs with the same
+        key are affected (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
+      - git_config - when a value is unset, all configs with the same key are unset
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7260).
+      - gitlab modules - add ``ca_path`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7472).
+      - gitlab modules - remove duplicate ``gitlab`` package check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7486).
+      - gitlab_runner - add support for new runner creation workflow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7199).
+      - ipa_config - adds ``passkey`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's choices
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7588).
+      - ipa_sudorule - adds options to include denied commands or command groups (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7415).
+      - ipa_user - adds ``idp`` and ``passkey`` choice to ``ipauserauthtype`` parameter's
+        choices (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7589).
+      - irc - add ``validate_certs`` option, and rename ``use_ssl`` to ``use_tls``,
+        while keeping ``use_ssl`` as an alias. The default value for ``validate_certs``
+        is ``false`` for backwards compatibility. We recommend to every user of this
+        module to explicitly set ``use_tls=true`` and `validate_certs=true`` whenever
+        possible, especially when communicating to IRC servers over the internet (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7550).
+      - keycloak module utils - expose error message from Keycloak server for HTTP
+        errors in some specific situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7645).
+      - keycloak_user_federation - add option for ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7538).
+      - lvol - change ``pvs`` argument type to list of strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7676,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7504).
+      - 'lxd connection plugin - tighten the detection logic for lxd ``Instance not
+        found`` errors, to avoid false detection on unrelated errors such as ``/usr/bin/python3:
+        not found`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7521).'
+      - netcup_dns - adds support for record types ``OPENPGPKEY``, ``SMIMEA``, and
+        ``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).
+      - nmcli - allow for ``infiniband`` slaves of ``bond`` interface types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7569).
+      - nmcli - allow for the setting of ``MTU`` for ``infiniband`` and ``bond`` interface
+        types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7499).
+      - onepassword lookup plugin - support 1Password Connect with the opv2 client
+        by setting the connect_host and connect_token parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7116).
+      - onepassword_raw lookup plugin - support 1Password Connect with the opv2 client
+        by setting the connect_host and connect_token parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7116)
+      - passwordstore - adds ``timestamp`` and ``preserve`` parameters to modify the
+        stored password format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7426).
+      - proxmox - adds ``template`` value to the ``state`` parameter, allowing conversion
+        of container to a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7143).
+      - proxmox - adds ``update`` parameter, allowing update of an already existing
+        containers configuration (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7540).
+      - proxmox inventory plugin - adds an option to exclude nodes from the dynamic
+        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).
+      - proxmox_kvm - adds ``template`` value to the ``state`` parameter, allowing
+        conversion of a VM to a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7143).
+      - proxmox_kvm - support the ``hookscript`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7600).
+      - proxmox_ostype - it is now possible to specify the ``ostype`` when creating
+        an LXC container (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7462).
+      - proxmox_vm_info - add ability to retrieve configuration info (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7485).
+      - redfish_info - adding the ``BootProgress`` property when getting ``Systems``

+      - ssh_config - adds ``controlmaster``, ``controlpath`` and ``controlpersist``
+        parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7456).
