Release 12.0.0.

kea_command: new module to access an ISC KEA server

This module can be used to access the JSON API of a
KEA DHCP4, DHCP6, DDNS or other services in a generic
way, without having to manually format the JSON, with
response error code checking.

It directly accesses the Unix Domain Socket API so it
needs to execute on the system the server is running,
with superuser privilegues, but without the hassle of
wrapping it into HTTPS and password auth (or client
certificates).

The integration test uses a predefined setup for
convenience, which runs on Debian trixie as well as,
on the CI, Ubuntu noble. It makes assumptions about
the default package configuration and paths and is
therefore tricky to run on other distros/OSes. This
only affects running the KEA server as part of the
tests, not the module.

+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- Ansible-core 2.16 is no longer supported. This also means that the collection now requires Python 3.7+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10884).
+- bearychat - the module has been removed as the chat service is no longer available (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- cmd_runner module utils - the parameter ``ignore_value_none`` to ``CmdRunner.__call__()`` has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- cmd_runner_fmt module utils - the parameter ``ctx_ignore_none`` to argument formatters has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- facter - the module has been replaced by ``community.general.facter_facts`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- mh.deco module utils - the parameters ``on_success`` and ``on_failure`` of ``cause()`` have been removed; use ``when="success"`` and ``when="failure"`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- opkg - the value ``""`` for the option ``force`` is no longer allowed. Omit ``force`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- pacemaker_cluster - the option ``state`` is now required (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- pure module utils - the modules using this module utils have been removed from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- purestorage doc fragment - the modules using this doc fragment have been removed from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- yaml callback plugin - the deprecated plugin has been removed. Use the default callback with ``result_format=yaml`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- keycloak_user - the parameter ``credentials[].value`` is now marked as ``no_log=true``. Before it was logged by Ansible, unless the task was marked as ``no_log: true``. Since this parameter can be used for passwords, this resulted in credential leaking (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11000, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11005).

+- machinectl become plugin - disable pipelining on ansible-core 2.19+. The plugin does not work with pipelining, and since ansible-core 2.19 become plugins can indicate that they do not work with pipelining (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10537).
+- merge_variables lookup plugin - avoid deprecated functionality from ansible-core 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10566).
+- monit - fix crash caused by an unknown status value returned from the monit service (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10742, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10743).
+- omapi_host - make return values compatible with ansible-core 2.19 and Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11001).
+- onepassword_doc and onepassword_ssh_key lookup plugins - ensure that all connection parameters are passed to CLI class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10965).
+- pacemaker - use regex for matching ``maintenance-mode`` output to determine cluster maintenance status (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10426, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10707).
+- pacemaker_resource - fix ``resource_type`` parameter formatting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10426, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10663).
+- parted - variable is a list, not text (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10823, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10817).
+- pids - prevent error when an empty string is provided for ``name`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10672, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10688).
+- pritunl_user - improve resilience when comparing user parameters if remote fields are ``null`` or missing. List parameters (``groups``, ``mac_addresses``) now safely default to empty lists for comparison and avoids ``KeyError`` issues (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10954, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10955).
+- random_string lookup plugin - replace ``random.SystemRandom()`` with ``secrets.SystemRandom()`` when generating strings. This has no practical effect, as both are the same (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10893).
+- rocketchat - fix message delivery in Rocket Chat >= 7.5.3 by forcing ``Content-Type`` header to ``application/json`` instead of the default ``application/x-www-form-urlencoded`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10796, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10796).
+- selective callback plugin - specify ``ansible_loop_var`` instead of the explicit value ``item`` when printing task result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10752).
+- syspatch - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).
+- sysrc - fixes parsing with multi-line variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10394, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10417).
+- sysupgrade - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).
+- terraform - fix bug when ``null`` values inside complex vars are throwing error instead of being passed to terraform. Now terraform can handle ``null``s in ``complex_vars`` itself (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10961).
+- wsl connection plugin - avoid deprecated ansible-core paramiko import helper, import paramiko directly instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10515, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10531).
+- xfconf - fix handling of empty array properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11026).
+- xfconf_info - fix handling of empty array properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11026).
+- yaml cache plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10849, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10852).
+- zypper_repository - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).

+        - logstash callback plugin - remove reference to Python 2 library (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10345).
+        - lvm_pv - properly detect SCSI or NVMe devices to rescan (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10444,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10596).
+        - machinectl become plugin - disable pipelining on ansible-core 2.19+. The
+          plugin does not work with pipelining, and since ansible-core 2.19 become
+          plugins can indicate that they do not work with pipelining (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10537).
+        - merge_variables lookup plugin - avoid deprecated functionality from ansible-core
+          2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10566).
+        - monit - fix crash caused by an unknown status value returned from the monit
+          service (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10742,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10743).

+          3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11001).
+        - onepassword_doc and onepassword_ssh_key lookup plugins - ensure that all
+          connection parameters are passed to CLI class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10965).
+        - pacemaker - use regex for matching ``maintenance-mode`` output to determine
+          cluster maintenance status (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10426,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10707).

+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10663).

+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10817).
+        - pids - prevent error when an empty string is provided for ``name`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10672,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10688).
+        - pritunl_user - improve resilience when comparing user parameters if remote
+          fields are ``null`` or missing. List parameters (``groups``, ``mac_addresses``)
+          now safely default to empty lists for comparison and avoids ``KeyError``
+          issues (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10954,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10955).
+        - random_string lookup plugin - replace ``random.SystemRandom()`` with ``secrets.SystemRandom()``
+          when generating strings. This has no practical effect, as both are the same
+          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10893).
+        - rocketchat - fix message delivery in Rocket Chat >= 7.5.3 by forcing ``Content-Type``
+          header to ``application/json`` instead of the default ``application/x-www-form-urlencoded``
+          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10796,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10796).
+        - selective callback plugin - specify ``ansible_loop_var`` instead of the
+          explicit value ``item`` when printing task result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10752).
+        - syspatch - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).

+        - sysupgrade - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).
+        - terraform - fix bug when ``null`` values inside complex vars are throwing
+          error instead of being passed to terraform. Now terraform can handle ``null``s
+          in ``complex_vars`` itself (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10961).
+        - wsl connection plugin - avoid deprecated ansible-core paramiko import helper,
+          import paramiko directly instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10515,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10531).
+        - xfconf - fix handling of empty array properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11026).
+        - xfconf_info - fix handling of empty array properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11026).
+        - yaml cache plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10849,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10852).
+        - zypper_repository - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).

+      release_summary: This is release 12.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on
+        2025-11-03.
+      removed_features:
+        - Ansible-core 2.16 is no longer supported. This also means that the collection
+          now requires Python 3.7+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10884).
+        - bearychat - the module has been removed as the chat service is no longer
+          available (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - cmd_runner module utils - the parameter ``ignore_value_none`` to ``CmdRunner.__call__()``
+          has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - cmd_runner_fmt module utils - the parameter ``ctx_ignore_none`` to argument
+          formatters has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - facter - the module has been replaced by ``community.general.facter_facts``
+          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - mh.deco module utils - the parameters ``on_success`` and ``on_failure``
+          of ``cause()`` have been removed; use ``when="success"`` and ``when="failure"``
+          instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - opkg - the value ``""`` for the option ``force`` is no longer allowed. Omit
+          ``force`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - pacemaker_cluster - the option ``state`` is now required (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - pure module utils - the modules using this module utils have been removed
+          from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - purestorage doc fragment - the modules using this doc fragment have been
+          removed from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+        - yaml callback plugin - the deprecated plugin has been removed. Use the default
+          callback with ``result_format=yaml`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+      security_fixes:
+        - 'keycloak_user - the parameter ``credentials[].value`` is now marked as
+          ``no_log=true``. Before it was logged by Ansible, unless the task was marked
+          as ``no_log: true``. Since this parameter can be used for passwords, this
+          resulted in credential leaking (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11000,
+          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11005).'
