+
+v7.5.3
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- 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).
+- 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).
+
+v7.5.2
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- elastic callback plugin - close elastic client to not leak resources (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7517).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- cloudflare_dns - fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7652).
+- interface_files - also consider ``address_family`` when changing ``option=method`` (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).

+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix and feature release.
+
+From this version on, community.general is using the new `Ansible semantic markup
+<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html#semantic-markup-within-module-documentation>`__
+in its documentation. If you look at documentation with the ansible-doc CLI tool
+from ansible-core before 2.15, please note that it does not render the markup
+correctly. You should be still able to read it in most cases, but you need
+ansible-core 2.15 or later to see it as it is intended. Alternatively you can
+look at `the devel docsite <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/general/>`__
+for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release.
+
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- The collection will start using semantic markup (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6539).
+- VarDict module utils - add method ``VarDict.as_dict()`` to convert to a plain ``dict`` object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6602).

+- datadog_monitor - adds ``notification_preset_name``, ``renotify_occurrences`` and ``renotify_statuses`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6521,https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5823).

+- opentelemetry callback plugin - add span attributes in the span event (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6531).
+- opkg - remove default value ``""`` for parameter ``force`` as it causes the same behaviour of not having that parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6513).

+- redhat_subscription - the internal ``RegistrationBase`` class was folded
+  into the other internal ``Rhsm`` class, as the separation had no purpose
+  anymore
+  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6658).
+- rhsm_release - improve/harden the way ``subscription-manager`` is run;
+  no behaviour change is expected
+  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6669).
+- 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 - minor refactor (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6525).
+- 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).
+
+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).
+- cpanm - value ``compatibility`` is deprecated as default for parameter ``mode`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6512).
+- 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).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- proxmox_kvm - allow creation of VM with existing name but new vmid (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6155, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6709).
+- rhsm_repository - when using the ``purge`` option, the ``repositories``
+  dictionary element in the returned JSON is now properly updated according
+  to the pruning operation
+  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6676).
+- tss lookup plugin - fix multiple issues when using ``fetch_attachments=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6720).
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+- Ansible markup will show up in raw form on ansible-doc text output for ansible-core before 2.15. If you have trouble deciphering the documentation markup, please upgrade to ansible-core 2.15 (or newer), or read the HTML documentation on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/general/ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6539).

+- 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).
+- sefcontext - add support for path substitutions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1193).
+- shutdown - if no shutdown commands are found in the ``search_paths`` then the module will attempt to shutdown the system using ``systemctl shutdown`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4269, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6171).
+- 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).
+- snap - minor refactor when executing module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5773).
+- snap - refactor module to use ``CmdRunner`` to execute external commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6468).
+- snap_alias - refactor code to module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6441).
+- snap_alias - refactored module to use ``CmdRunner`` to execute ``snap`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5486).
+- 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).
+- ssh_config - add ``proxyjump`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5970).
+- ssh_config - refactor code to module util to fix sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5720).
+- ssh_config - vendored StormSSH's config parser to avoid having to install StormSSH to use the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6117).
+- sudoers - add ``setenv`` parameters to support passing environment variables via sudo. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5883)
+- sudoers - adds ``host`` parameter for setting hostname restrictions in sudoers rules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5702).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- znode module - optional ``use_tls`` parameter added for encrypted communication (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6154).
+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- If you are not using this collection as part of Ansible, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.sap_libs`` if you are using any of the ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query`` modules.
+  Without that collection installed, the redirects for these modules do not work.
+- ModuleHelper module utils - when the module sets output variables named ``msg``, ``exception``, ``output``, ``vars``, or ``changed``, the actual output will prefix those names with ``_`` (underscore symbol) only when they clash with output variables generated by ModuleHelper itself, which only occurs when handling exceptions. Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release, it was not possible to add such variables to the output `due to a bug <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755>`__ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5765).
+- gconftool2 - fix processing of ``gconftool-2`` when ``key`` does not exist, returning ``null`` instead of empty string for both ``value`` and ``previous_value`` return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6028).
+- gitlab_runner - the default of ``access_level_on_creation`` changed from ``false`` to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
+- ldap_search - convert all string-like values to UTF-8 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5704, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6473).
+- nmcli - the default of the ``hairpin`` option changed from ``true`` to ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
+- proxmox - the default of the ``unprivileged`` option changed from ``false`` to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - ``deps`` mixin for MH classes deprecated in favour of using the ``deps`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6465).
+- consul - deprecate using parameters unused for ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5772).
+- gitlab_runner - the default of the new option ``access_level_on_creation`` will change from ``false`` to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0. This will cause ``access_level`` to be used during runner registration as well, and not only during updates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5908).
+- gitlab_runner - the option ``access_level`` will lose its default value in community.general 8.0.0. From that version on, you have set this option to ``ref_protected`` explicitly, if you want to have a protected runner (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5925).
+- manageiq_policies - deprecate ``state=list`` in favour of using ``community.general.manageiq_policies_info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5721).
+- manageiq_tags - deprecate ``state=list`` in favour of using ``community.general.manageiq_tags_info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5727).

+- rhn_channel, rhn_register - RHN hosted at redhat.com was discontinued years
+  ago, and Spacewalk 5 (which uses RHN) is EOL since 2020, May 31st;
+  while these modules could work on Uyuni / SUSE Manager (fork of Spacewalk 5),
+  we have not heard about anyone using them in those setups. Hence, these
+  modules are deprecated, and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0
+  in case there are no reports about being still useful, and potentially
+  no one that steps up to maintain them
+  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6493).
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- All ``sap`` modules have been removed from this collection.
+  They have been migrated to the `community.sap_libs <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/sap_libs>`_ collection.
+  Redirections have been provided.
+  Following modules are affected:
+  - sapcar_extract
+  - sap_task_list_execute
+  - hana_query
+- cmd_runner module utils - the ``fmt`` alias of ``cmd_runner_fmt`` has been removed. Use ``cmd_runner_fmt`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
+- newrelic_deployment - the ``appname`` and ``environment`` options have been removed. They did not do anything (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
+- puppet - the alias ``show-diff`` of the ``show_diff`` option has been removed. Use ``show_diff`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
+- xfconf - generating facts was deprecated in community.general 3.0.0, however three factoids, ``property``, ``channel`` and ``value`` continued to be generated by mistake. This behaviour has been removed and ``xfconf`` generate no facts whatsoever (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5502).
+- xfconf - generating facts was deprecated in community.general 3.0.0, however two factoids, ``previous_value`` and ``type`` continued to be generated by mistake. This behaviour has been removed and ``xfconf`` generate no facts whatsoever (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5502).
+

+- dig lookup plugin - correctly handle DNSKEY record type's ``algorithm`` field (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5914).
+- 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).
+- gconftool2 - fix ``changed`` result always being ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6028).

+- influxdb_user - fix running in check mode when the user does not exist yet (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6111).
+- 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).
+- interfaces_file - fix reading options in lines not starting with a space (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6120).

+- keycloak_client_rolemapping - calculate ``proposed`` and ``after`` return values properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
+- keycloak_client_rolemapping - remove only listed mappings with ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
+- 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).
+- keycloak_user_federation - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could fail to properly detect already existing user federations because of a buggy seemingly superflous extra query parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5732).
+- loganalytics callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).

+- nmcli - fix improper detection of changes to ``wifi.wake-on-wlan`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
+- 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).
+- nmcli - order is significant for lists of addresses (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6048).
+- nsupdate - fix zone lookup. The SOA record for an existing zone is returned as an answer RR and not as an authority RR (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5817, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5818).
+- one_vm - avoid splitting labels that are ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5489).
+- one_vm - fix syntax error when creating VMs with a more complex template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6225).
+- onepassword lookup plugin - Changed to ignore errors from "op account get" calls. Previously, errors would prevent auto-signin code from executing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5942).
+- onepassword_raw - add missing parameter to plugin documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5506).
+- opkg - fix issue that ``force=reinstall`` would not reinstall an existing package (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5705).
+- opkg - fixes bug when using ``update_cache=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6004).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.16 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6447).
+- pipx - fixed handling of ``install_deps=true`` with ``state=latest`` and ``state=upgrade`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6303).
+- 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 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).
+- proxmox_disk - avoid duplicate ``vmid`` reference (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5493).
+- proxmox_disk - fixed issue with read timeout on import action (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5803).
+- proxmox_disk - fixed possible issues with redundant ``vmid`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5672).
+- proxmox_nic - fixed possible issues with redundant ``vmid`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5672).
+- 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).
+- redfish_utils - removed basic auth HTTP header when performing a GET on the service root resource and when performing a POST to the session collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5886).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- splunk callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- sumologic callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- syslog_json callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- terraform - fix ``current`` workspace never getting appended to the ``all`` key in the ``workspace_ctf`` object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
+- terraform - fix ``terraform init`` failure when there are multiple workspaces on the remote backend and when ``default`` workspace is missing by setting ``TF_WORKSPACE`` environmental variable to the value of ``workspace`` when used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
+- terraform - fix broken ``warn()`` call (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6497).
+- terraform and timezone - slight refactoring to avoid linter reporting potentially undefined variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5933).
+- terraform module - disable ANSI escape sequences during validation phase (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5843).
+- tss lookup plugin - allow to download secret attachments. Previously, we could not download secret attachments but now use ``fetch_attachments`` and ``file_download_path`` variables to download attachments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6224).
+- 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).
+- unixy callback plugin - fix typo introduced when updating to use Ansible's configuration manager for handling options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5600).
+- various plugins and modules - remove unnecessary imports (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5940).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- 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).
+- xml - fixed a bug where empty ``children`` list would not be set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5808).
+- yarn - fix ``global=true`` to check for the configured global folder instead of assuming the default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5829)
+- yarn - fix ``global=true`` to not fail when `executable` wasn't specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6132)
+- yarn - fix ``state=absent`` not working with ``global=true`` when the package does not include a binary (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5829)
+- yarn - fix ``state=latest`` not working with ``global=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5712).
+- 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).
+- zfs_delegate_admin - zfs allow output can now be parsed when uids/gids are not known to the host system (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5943).
+- zypper - make package managing work on readonly filesystem of openSUSE MicroOS (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5615).

-    All ``sap`` modules have been removed from this collection.
-    They have been migrated to the `community.sap_libs <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/sap_libs>`_ collection.
-    Redirections have been provided.
-    Following modules are affected:

-    - hana_query
-breaking_changes:

-    If you are not using this collection as part of Ansible, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.sap_libs`` if you are using any of the ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query`` modules.
-    Without that collection installed, the redirects for these modules do not work.
