+.. contents:: Topics
+
+This changelog describes changes after version 8.0.0.
+
+v9.5.9
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- yaml callback plugin - adjust to latest changes in ansible-core devel (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10212).
+- 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).
+
+v9.5.8
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- cobbler_system - fix bug with Cobbler >= 3.4.0 caused by giving more than 2 positional arguments to ``CobblerXMLRPCInterface.get_system_handle()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8506, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10145).
+- kdeconfig - allow option values beginning with a dash (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10127, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10128).
+- keycloak_user_rolemapping - fix ``--diff`` mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10067, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10075).
+- pickle cache plugin - avoid extra JSON serialization with ansible-core >= 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10136).
+- rundeck_acl_policy - ensure that project ACLs are sent to the correct endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10097).
+- 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).
+
+v9.5.7
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- apache2_module - added workaround for new PHP module name, from ``php7_module`` to ``php_module`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9951).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- dependent look plugin - make compatible with ansible-core's Data Tagging feature (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
+- diy callback plugin - make compatible with ansible-core's Data Tagging feature (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
+- github_deploy_key - check that key really exists on 422 to avoid masking other errors (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6718, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10011).
+- hashids and unicode_normalize filter plugins - avoid deprecated ``AnsibleFilterTypeError`` on ansible-core 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9992).
+- keycloak_authentication - fix authentification config duplication for Keycloak < 26.2.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9987).
+- 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).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - fix ``ansible_host`` staying empty for certain Proxmox nodes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5906, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9952).

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- cloudlare_dns - handle exhausted response stream in case of HTTP errors to show nice error message to the user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9782, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9818).

+- proxmox_vm_info - the module no longer expects that the key ``template`` exists in a dictionary returned by Proxmox (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9875, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9910).
+- 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).
+
+v9.5.5
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- apache2_mod_proxy - make compatible with Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9762).
+- apache2_mod_proxy - passing the cluster's page as referer for the member's pages. This makes the module actually work again for halfway modern Apache versions. According to some comments founds on the net the referer was required since at least 2019 for some versions of Apache 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9762).
+- cloudflare_dns - fix crash when deleting a DNS record or when updating a record with ``solo=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9652, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9649).
+- elasticsearch_plugin - fix ``ERROR: D is not a recognized option`` issue when configuring proxy settings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9774, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9773).
+- 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 - in check mode, detect whether the lists in before client (for example redirect URI list) contain items that the lists in the desired client do not contain (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9739).
+- 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).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - plugin did not update cache correctly after ``meta: refresh_inventory`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9710, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9760).
+- 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).
+- xml - ensure file descriptor is closed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9695).
+
+v9.5.4
+======
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- keycloak_client - Sanitize ``saml.encryption.private.key`` so it does not show in the logs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9621).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- 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).
+
+v9.5.3
+======

+Release Summary
+---------------
+

+
+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).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- dig lookup plugin - correctly handle ``NoNameserver`` exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9363, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9362).
+- htpasswd - report changes when file permissions are adjusted (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9485, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9490).
+- proxmox_disk - fix async method and make ``resize_disk`` method handle errors correctly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9256).

If the locale was set to non-English, the output of the ``dnf config-manager`` could not be parsed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9157, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9046).
+- flatpak - force the locale language to ``C`` when running the flatpak command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9187, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8883).
+- github_key - in check mode, a faulty call to ```datetime.strftime(...)``` was being made which generated an exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9185).
+- homebrew_cask - allow ``+`` symbol in Homebrew cask name validation regex (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9128).

+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is release 9.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2024-05-20.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- PythonRunner module utils - specialisation of ``CmdRunner`` to execute Python scripts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8289).
+- Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
+- aix_lvol - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
+- apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value ``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).
+- apt_rpm - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - add ``bw_session`` option, to pass session key instead of reading from env (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7994).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - allows to fetch all records of a given collection ID, by allowing to pass an empty value for ``search_value`` when ``collection_id`` is provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8013).
+- 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).
+- btrfs_subvolume - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
+- cmd_runner module_utils - add validation for minimum and maximum length in the value passed to ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8288).
+- consul_auth_method, consul_binding_rule, consul_policy, consul_role, consul_session, consul_token - added action group ``community.general.consul`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7897).
+- consul_policy - added support for diff and check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).

+- consul_role - ``node_identities`` now expects a ``node_name`` option to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
+- consul_role - ``service_identities`` now expects a ``service_name`` option to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
+- consul_role - added support for diff mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
+- consul_role - added support for templated policies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
+- elastic callback plugin - close elastic client to not leak resources (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7517).
+- filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126).
+- gandi_livedns - adds support for personal access tokens (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7639, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8337).
+- gconftool2 - use ``ModuleHelper`` with ``VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
+- 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).

+- 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).

+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- MH DependencyCtxMgr module_utils - deprecate ``module_utils.mh.mixin.deps.DependencyCtxMgr`` in favour of ``module_utils.deps`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.AnsibleModule`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.DependencyCtxMgr`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.StateMixin`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarDict,`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarMeta`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarsMixin`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
+- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate use of ``VarsMixin`` in favor of using the ``VardDict`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
+- ModuleHelper vars module_utils - bump deprecation of ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict`` and ``VarsMixin`` to version 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
+- apt_rpm - the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` is deprecated and will change in community.general 11.0.0. Right now the module will upgrade a package to the latest version if one of these two states is used. You should explicitly use ``state=latest`` if you want this behavior, and switch to ``state=present_not_latest`` if you do not want to upgrade the package if it is already installed. In community.general 11.0.0 the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` will change to that of ``state=present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8285).
+- consul_acl - the module has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0. ``consul_token`` and ``consul_policy`` can be used instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7901).
+- django_manage - the ``ack_venv_creation_deprecation`` option has no more effect and will be removed from community.general 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- gitlab modules - the basic auth method on GitLab API have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8383).
+- hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
+- irc - the defaults ``false`` for ``use_tls`` and ``validate_certs`` have been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 10.0.0 to improve security. You can already improve security now by explicitly setting them to ``true``. Specifying values now disables the deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7578).
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- The deprecated redirects for internal module names have been removed. These internal redirects were extra-long FQCNs like ``community.general.packaging.os.apt_rpm`` that redirect to the short FQCN ``community.general.apt_rpm``. They were originally needed to implement flatmapping; as various tooling started to recommend users to use the long names flatmapping was removed from the collection and redirects were added for users who already followed these incorrect recommendations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7835).
+- ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211`` options have been removed. They no longer had any effect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- cloudflare_dns - remove support for SPF records. These are no longer supported by CloudFlare (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7782).
+- django_manage - support for the ``command`` values ``cleanup``, ``syncdb``, and ``validate`` were removed. Use ``clearsessions``, ``migrate``, and ``check`` instead, respectively (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- flowdock - this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and was thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- mh.mixins.deps module utils - the ``DependencyMixin`` has been removed. Use the ``deps`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- proxmox - the ``proxmox_default_behavior`` option has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- rax* modules, rax module utils, rax docs fragment - the Rackspace modules relied on the deprecated package ``pyrax`` and were thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- redhat module utils - the classes ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools`` have been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- redhat_subscription - the alias ``autosubscribe`` of the ``auto_attach`` option was removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- stackdriver - this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and was thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- webfaction_* modules - these modules relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and were thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).

+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- cobbler, gitlab_runners, icinga2, linode, lxd, nmap, online, opennebula, proxmox, scaleway, stackpath_compute, virtualbox, and xen_orchestra inventory plugin - make sure all data received from the remote servers is marked as unsafe, so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated as templates is not possible (https://www.die-welt.net/2024/03/remote-code-execution-in-ansible-dynamic-inventory-plugins/, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8098).
+- keycloak_identity_provider - the client secret was not correctly sanitized by the module. The return values ``proposed``, ``existing``, and ``end_state``, as well as the diff, did contain the client secret unmasked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8355).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
+- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
+- apt-rpm - the module did not upgrade packages if a newer version exists. Now the package will be reinstalled if the candidate is newer than the installed version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7414).
+- apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get -y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
+- bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
+- cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs fine, but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did not check the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``. This resulted in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges using ``state: absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the given parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7970).
+- cloudflare_dns - fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7652).
+- consul_token - fix token creation without ``accessor_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8091).
+- from_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
+- gitlab_group_members - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_group_members`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
+- gitlab_issue - fix behavior to search GitLab issue, using ``search`` keyword instead of ``title`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7846).
+- gitlab_issue, gitlab_label, gitlab_milestone - avoid crash during version comparison when the python-gitlab Python module is not installed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8158).
+- gitlab_project_members - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_project_members`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
+- gitlab_protected_branches - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_protected_branches`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
+- gitlab_runner - fix pagination when checking for existing runners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7790).
+- gitlab_user - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_user`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
+- haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
+- homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from ``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864).
+- homebrew - error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse empty JSON. Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error message to users (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8047).
+- incus connection plugin - treats ``inventory_hostname`` as a variable instead of a literal in remote connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7874).
+- 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).
+- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
+- ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
+- ipa_hbacrule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
+- ipa_otptoken - the module expect ``ipatokendisabled`` as string but the ``ipatokendisabled`` value is returned as a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7795).
+- ipa_sudorule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
+- iptables_state - fix idempotency issues when restoring incomplete iptables dumps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8029).
+- 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).
+- keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes`` to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
+- keycloak_client - fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state when task is in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1226, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7881).
+- 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_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).
+- 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).
+- keycloak_user_federation - fix diff of empty ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8320).
+- ldap - previously the order number (if present) was expected to follow an equals sign in the DN. This makes it so the order number string is identified correctly anywhere within the DN (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7646).
+- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).
+- 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).
+- merge_variables lookup plugin - fixing cross host merge: providing access to foreign hosts variables to the perspective of the host that is performing the merge (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8303).
+- modprobe - listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError if ``/etc/modprobe.d`` or ``/etc/modules-load.d`` did not exist. Relevant functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid crashing the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7717).
+- mssql_script - make the module work with Python 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7818, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7821).

+- ocapi_utils, oci_utils, redfish_utils module utils - replace ``type()`` calls with ``isinstance()`` calls (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7501).
+- onepassword lookup plugin - failed for fields that were in sections and had uppercase letters in the label/ID. Field lookups are now case insensitive in all cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7919).
+- 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).
+- opentelemetry callback plugin - close spans always (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8367).
+- opentelemetry callback plugin - honour the ``disable_logs`` option to avoid storing task results since they are not used regardless (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8373).
+- pacemaker_cluster - actually implement check mode, which the module claims to support. This means that until now the module also did changes in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8081).
+- pam_limits - when the file does not exist, do not create it in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8050, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8057).
+- pipx module utils - change the CLI argument formatter for the ``pip_args`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7497, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7506).
+- pkgin - pkgin (pkgsrc package manager used by SmartOS) raises erratic exceptions and spurious ``changed=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7971).

+- proxmox_kvm - fixed status check getting from node-specific API endpoint (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7817).
+- proxmox_kvm - running ``state=template`` will first check whether VM is already a template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7792).
+- proxmox_pool_member - absent state for type VM did not delete VMs from the pools (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7464).
+- puppet - add option ``environment_lang`` to set the environment language encoding. Defaults to lang ``C``. It is recommended to set it to ``C.UTF-8`` or ``en_US.UTF-8`` depending on what is available on your system. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8000)
+- redfish_command - fix usage of message parsing in ``SimpleUpdate`` and ``MultipartHTTPPushUpdate`` commands to treat the lack of a ``MessageId`` as no message (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7465, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7471).
+- redfish_info - allow for a GET operation invoked by ``GetUpdateStatus`` to allow for an empty response body for cases where a service returns 204 No Content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8003).
+- redfish_info - correct uncaught exception when attempting to retrieve ``Chassis`` information (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7952).
+- 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).

+## 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

+
+## 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.

+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.

-  - 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.

-  - keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` processing was not idempotent if the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name (in ascending order).
