-Release Summary
----------------
-
-This is release 12.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2025-11-03.
-
-Minor Changes
--------------
-
-- Modernize code for Python 3.7+. This includes code reformatting, and adding new checks to CI, including a type checker (mypy). Most of the code does not have type hints yet, but now it is possible to add typing hints and have these validated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10285, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10886, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10891, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10892, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10897, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10899, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10902, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10903, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10904, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10907, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10908, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10909, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10939, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10940, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10941, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10942, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10945, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10947, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10958, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10959, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10968, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10969, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10970, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10971, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10973, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10974, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10975, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10976, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10977, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10978, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10979, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10980, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10981, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10992, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10993, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10997, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10999, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11015, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11016, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11017).

-
-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).

-- 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).

+## Devcontainer
+
+Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to
+create a container that is then used during the development cycle. Many tools are pre-installed in the container and will be already available
+to you as a developer. A number of different IDEs support that configuration, the most prominent ones being VSCode and PyCharm.
+
+See the files under [.devcontainer](.devcontainer) for details on what is deployed inside that container.
+
+Beware of:
+
+- By default, the devcontainer installs the latest version of `ansible-core`.
+  When testing your changes locally, keep in mind that the collection must support older versions of
+  `ansible-core` and, depending on what is being tested, results may vary.
+- Integration tests executed directly inside the devcontainer without isolation (see above) may fail if
+  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.
