-
-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-- facter - the module has been replaced by ``community.general.facter_facts`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).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).

-- 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).

+  they expected to be run in full fledged VMs. On the other hand, the devcontainer setup allows running
+  containers inside the container (the `docker-in-docker` feature).
+- The devcontainer is built with a directory structure such that
+  `.../ansible_collections/community/general` contains the project repository, so `ansible-test` and
+  other standard tools should work without any additional setup
+- By default, the devcontainer installs `pre-commit` and configures it to perform `ruff check` and
+  `ruff format` on the Python files, prior to commiting. That configuration is going to be used by
+  `git` even outside the devcontainer. To prevent errors, you have to either install `pre-commit` in
+  your computer, outside the devcontainer, or run `pre-commit uninstall` from within the devcontainer
+  before quitting it.

-      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).'
