-### Removed Features \(previously deprecated\)
-
-* Dropped support for ansible\-core 2\.15\. The collection now requires ansible\-core 2\.16 or newer\. This means that on the controller\, Python 3\.10\+ is required\. On the target side\, Python 2\.7 and Python 3\.6\+ are supported \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/10160](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/10160)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/10192](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/10192)\)\.
-* The Proxmox content \(modules and plugins\) has been moved to the [new collection community\.proxmox](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.proxmox)\. Since community\.general 11\.0\.0\, these modules and plugins have been replaced by deprecated redirections to community\.proxmox\. You need to explicitly install community\.proxmox\, for example with <code>ansible\-galaxy collection install community\.proxmox</code>\, or by installing a new enough version of the Ansible community package\. We suggest to update your roles and playbooks to use the new FQCNs as soon as possible to avoid getting deprecation messages \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/10110](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/10110)\)\.

-Deprecated Features
-------------------
-

-
-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
----------------------------------------
-
- Dropped support for ansible-core 2.15. The collection now requires ansible-core 2.16 or newer. This means that on the controller, Python 3.10+ is required. On the target side, Python 2.7 and Python 3.6+ are supported (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10160, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10192).
- The Proxmox content (modules and plugins) has been moved to the `new collection community.proxmox <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxmox>`__. Since community.general 11.0.0, these modules and plugins have been replaced by deprecated redirections to community.proxmox. You need to explicitly install community.proxmox, for example with ``ansible-galaxy collection install community.proxmox``, or by installing a new enough version of the Ansible community package. We suggest to update your roles and playbooks to use the new FQCNs as soon as possible to avoid getting deprecation messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10110).
- apt_rpm - the ``present`` and ``installed`` states are no longer equivalent to ``latest``, but to ``present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- clc_* modules and doc fragment - the modules were removed since CenturyLink Cloud services went EOL in September 2023 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- django_manage - the ``ack_venv_creation_deprecation`` option has been removed. It had no effect anymore anyway (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- git_config - it is no longer allowed to use ``state=present`` with no value to read the config value. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- git_config - the ``list_all`` option has been removed. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- hipchat - the module was removed since the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- manifold lookup plugin - the plugin was removed since the company was acquired in 2021 and service was ceased afterwards (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.mixins.deps module utils - this module utils has been removed. Use the ``deps`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.mixins.vars module utils - this module utils has been removed. Use ``VarDict`` from the ``vardict`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.module_helper module utils - ``AnsibleModule`` and ``VarsMixin`` are no longer provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.module_helper module utils - ``VarDict`` is now imported from the ``vardict`` module utils and no longer from the removed ``mh.mixins.vars`` module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.module_helper module utils - the attributes ``use_old_vardict`` and ``mute_vardict_deprecation`` from ``ModuleHelper`` have been removed. We suggest to remove them from your modules if you no longer support community.general < 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- module_helper module utils - ``StateMixin``, ``DependencyCtxMgr``, ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict``, and ``VarsMixin`` are no longer provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- pipx - module no longer supports ``pipx`` older than 1.7.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10137).
- pipx_info - module no longer supports ``pipx`` older than 1.7.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10137).
- profitbrick* modules - the modules were removed since the supporting library is unsupported since 2021 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- redfish_utils module utils - the ``_init_session`` method has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- stackpath_compute inventory plugin - the plugin was removed since the company and the service were sunset in June 2024 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-
-Security Fixes
--------------
-
- keycloak_authentication - API calls did not properly set the ``priority`` during update resulting in incorrectly sorted authentication flows. This apparently only affects Keycloak 25 or newer (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9263).
- keycloak_client - Sanitize ``saml.encryption.private.key`` so it does not show in the logs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9621).
+- cmd_runner module utils - add ``__call__`` method to invoke context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4791).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - allow using alternative password managers by detecting wrapper scripts, allow explicit configuration of pass and gopass backends (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4766).
+- sudoers - will attempt to validate the proposed sudoers rule using visudo if available, optionally skipped, or required (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4794, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4745).

 Bugfixes

- keycloak_authentication - fix authentification config duplication for Keycloak < 26.2.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9987).
- keycloak_client - fix and improve existing tests. The module showed a diff without actual changes, solved by improving the ``normalise_cr()`` function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9644).
- keycloak_client - fix diff by removing code that turns the attributes dict which contains additional settings into a list (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9077).
- keycloak_client - fix the idempotency regression by normalizing the Keycloak response for ``after_client`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9905, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9976).

- onepassword_doc lookup plugin - ensure that 1Password Connect support also works for this plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9625).
- passwordstore lookup plugin - fix subkey creation even when ``create=false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9105, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9106).
- pickle cache plugin - avoid extra JSON serialization with ansible-core >= 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10136).

- redfish_utils module utils - remove undocumented default applytime (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9114).
- redhat_subscription - do not try to unsubscribe (i.e. remove subscriptions)
-  when unregistering a system: newer versions of subscription-manager, as
-  available in EL 10 and Fedora 41+, do not support entitlements anymore, and
-  thus unsubscribing will fail
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9578).
- redhat_subscription - use the "enable_content" option (when available) when
-  registering using D-Bus, to ensure that subscription-manager enables the
-  content on registration; this is particular important on EL 10+ and Fedora
-  41+
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9778).
- reveal_ansible_type filter plugin and ansible_type test plugin - make compatible with ansible-core's Data Tagging feature (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).

- sudoers - display stdout and stderr raised while failed validation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9674, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9871).
- sysrc - no longer always reporting ``changed=true`` when ``state=absent``. This fixes the method ``exists()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10004, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10005).
- sysrc - split the output of ``sysrc -e -a`` on the first ``=`` only (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10120, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10121).

- yaml callback plugin - use ansible-core internals to avoid breakage with Data Tagging (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
- yaml callback plugin - when using ansible-core 2.19.0b2 or newer, uses a new utility provided by ansible-core. This allows us to remove all hacks and vendored code that was part of the plugin for ansible-core versions with Data Tagging so far (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10242).
- zfs - fix handling of multi-line values of user-defined ZFS properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6264).

- zypper_repository - use ``metalink`` attribute to identify repositories without ``<url/>`` element (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10224, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10225).
-
-Known Issues
------------
-
- reveal_ansible_type filter plugin and ansible_type test plugin - note that ansible-core's Data Tagging feature implements new aliases, such as ``_AnsibleTaggedStr`` for ``str``, ``_AnsibleTaggedInt`` for ``int``, and ``_AnsibleTaggedFloat`` for ``float`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).

+
+v5.0.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+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).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Avoid internal ansible-core module_utils in favor of equivalent public API available since at least Ansible 2.9. This fixes some instances added since the last time this was fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4232).

+- Remove vendored copy of ``distutils.version`` in favor of vendored copy included with ansible-core 2.12+. For ansible-core 2.11, uses ``distutils.version`` for Python < 3.12. There is no support for ansible-core 2.11 with Python 3.12+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).
+- aix_filesystem - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3833).

+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- 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).

+- 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).

+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- 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).
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- ali_instance_info - removed the options ``availability_zone``, ``instance_ids``, and ``instance_names``. Use filter item ``zone_id`` instead of ``availability_zone``, filter item ``instance_ids`` instead of ``instance_ids``, and filter item ``instance_name`` instead of ``instance_names`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- apt_rpm - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- compose - removed various deprecated aliases. Use the version with ``_`` instead of ``-`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- dnsimple - remove support for dnsimple < 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- github_deploy_key - removed the deprecated alias ``2fa_token`` of ``otp`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).

+- opkg - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- pacman - if ``update_cache=true`` is used with ``name`` or ``upgrade``, the changed state will now also indicate if only the cache was updated. To keep the old behavior - only indicate ``changed`` when a package was installed/upgraded -, use ``changed_when`` as indicated in the module examples (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- pacman - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- proxmox, proxmox_kvm, proxmox_snap - no longer allow to specify a VM name that matches multiple VMs. If this happens, the modules now fail (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- serverless - removed the ``functions`` option. It was not used by the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- slackpkg - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).

+- urpmi - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- xbps - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- xfconf - the ``get`` state has been removed. Use the ``xfconf_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+

+- gitlab_group_variable - allow to set same variable name under different environment scopes. Due this change, the return value ``group_variable`` differs from previous version in check mode. It was counting ``updated`` values, because it was accidentally overwriting environment scopes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038).
+- gitlab_group_variable - fix idempotent change behaviour for float and integer variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038).

+- keycloak - fix parameters types for ``defaultDefaultClientScopes`` and ``defaultOptionalClientScopes`` from list of dictionaries to list of strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4526).
+- keycloak_* - the documented ``validate_certs`` parameter was not taken into account when calling the ``open_url`` function in some cases, thus enforcing certificate validation even when ``validate_certs`` was set to ``false``. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4382)
+- keycloak_user_federation - creating a user federation while specifying an ID (that does not exist yet) no longer fail with a 404 Not Found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4212).

+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+- 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).

-## Run sanity or unit locally (with antsibull-nox)
-
-The easiest way to run sanity and unit tests locally is to use [antsibull-nox](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/antsibull-nox/).
-(If you have [nox](https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/) installed, it will automatically install antsibull-nox in a virtual environment for you.)
-
-### Sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run ansible-test sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel -- plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-
-# Run all other sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -R
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, respectively. If you leave `-R` away, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-### Unit tests
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-## Run basic sanity, unit or integration tests locally (with ansible-test)
-
-Instead of using antsibull-nox, you can also run sanity and unit tests with ansible-test directly.
-This also allows you to run integration tests.

 The following commands show how to run integration tests:

-#### In Docker
-
-Integration tests on Docker have the following parameters:
- `image_name` (required): The name of the Docker image. To get the list of supported Docker images, run
-  `ansible-test integration --help` and look for _target docker images_.
- `test_name` (optional): The name of the integration test.
-  For modules, this equals the short name of the module; for example, `pacman` in case of `community.general.pacman`.
-  For plugins, the plugin type is added before the plugin's short name, for example `callback_yaml` for the `community.general.yaml` callback.
 ```.bash
-# Test all plugins/modules on fedora40
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40
+# Run integration tests for the interfaces_files module in a Docker container using the
+# fedora35 operating system image (the supported images depend on your ansible-core version):
+ansible-test integration --docker fedora35 -v interfaces_file

-# Template
-ansible-test integration -v --docker image_name test_name
-
-# Example community.general.ini_file module on fedora40 Docker image:
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40 ini_file

-#### Without isolation

   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests

-   than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
+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
+   collection's name and before the module's name. This must not be done for other plugin types but modules and action plugins!

 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:

 .. code-block:: yaml

-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml') | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n')  | indent(2) }}
+  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml')|indent(2) }}

 {% for i in examples[0:2] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}

-{% endif %}

+{{ i.label }}

 .. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}

-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') | indent(2) }}

 {% 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``.

-# 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.

-# 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.

-Use the filter :ansplugin:`community.general.replace_keys#filter` if you have a list of dictionaries and want to replace certain keys.
-
-.. 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 :ansplugin:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <community.general.yaml#callback>`.
-
-
-Let us use the below list in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   input:

-     - k0_x0: A1
-       k1_x1: B1
-       k2_x2: [C1]
-       k3_x3: bar
-
-
-* By default, match keys that equal any of the attributes before.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-   :emphasize-lines: 1-3
-
-   target:
-     - {after: a0, before: k0_x0}
