+v3.8.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular feature and bugfix release. Please note that this is the last minor 3.x.0 release; afterwards there will only be bugfix releases 3.8.y.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mail - added the ``ehlohost`` parameter which allows for manual override of the host used in SMTP EHLO (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3425).
+- nmcli - the option ``routing_rules4`` can now be specified as a list of strings, instead of as a single string (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3401).
+- open-iscsi - adding support for mutual authentication between target and initiator (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3422).
+- opentelemetry callback plugin - added option ``enable_from_environment`` to support enabling the plugin only if the given environment variable exists and it is set to true (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3498).
+- opentelemetry callback plugin - enriched the stacktrace information with the ``message``, ``exception`` and ``stderr`` fields from the failed task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3496).
+- pkgng - packages being installed (or upgraded) are acted on in one command (per action) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2265).
+- pkgng - status message specifies number of packages installed and/or upgraded separately. Previously, all changes were reported as one count of packages "added" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3393).
+- terraform - add ``parallelism`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3540).
+- ufw - if ``delete=true`` and ``insert`` option is present, then ``insert`` is now ignored rather than failing with a syntax error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3514).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- gitlab_deploy_key - fix idempotency on projects with multiple deploy keys (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3473).
+- gitlab_group - avoid passing wrong value for ``require_two_factor_authentication`` on creation when the option has not been specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3453).
+- gitlab_group_members - ``get_group_id`` return the group ID by matching ``full_path``, ``path`` or ``name`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3400).
+- jboss - fix the deployment file permission issue when Jboss server is running under non-root user. The deployment file is copied with file content only. The file permission is set to ``440`` and belongs to root user. When the JBoss ``WildFly`` server is running under non-root user, it is unable to read the deployment file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3426).
+- keycloak_authentication - fix bug, the requirement was always on ``DISABLED`` when creating a new authentication flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3330).
+- keycloak_identity_provider - fix change detection when updating identity provider mappers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3538, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3537).
+- keycloak_role - quote role name when used in URL path to avoid errors when role names contain special characters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3535, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3536).
+- logstash callback plugin - replace ``_option`` with ``context.CLIARGS`` to fix the plugin on ansible-base and ansible-core (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2692).
+- macports - add ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` to return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3499).
+- opentelemetry callback plugin - validated the task result exception without crashing. Also simplifying code a bit (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3450, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75726).
+- yaml callback plugin - avoid modifying PyYAML so that other plugins using it on the controller, like the ``to_yaml`` filter, do not produce different output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3471, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3478).
+- zypper_repository - when an URL to a .repo file was provided in option ``repo=`` and ``state=present`` only the first run was successful, future runs failed due to missing checks prior starting zypper. Usage of ``state=absent`` in combination with a .repo file was not working either (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1791, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3466).

+
+Bugfixes

+# Contributing
+
+We follow [Ansible Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html) in all our contributions and interactions within this repository.
+
+If you are a committer, also refer to the [collection's committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/commit-rights.md).
+
+## Issue tracker
+
+Whether you are looking for an opportunity to contribute or you found a bug and already know how to solve it, please go to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues).
+There you can find feature ideas to implement, reports about bugs to solve, or submit an issue to discuss your idea before implementing it which can help choose a right direction at the beginning of your work and potentially save a lot of time and effort.
+Also somebody may already have started discussing or working on implementing the same or a similar idea,
+so you can cooperate to create a better solution together.
+
+* If you are interested in starting with an easy issue, look for [issues with an `easyfix` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/easyfix).
+* Often issues that are waiting for contributors to pick up have [the `waiting_on_contributor` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/waiting_on_contributor).
+
+## Open pull requests
+
+Look through currently [open pull requests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pulls).
+You can help by reviewing them. Reviews help move pull requests to merge state. Some good pull requests cannot be merged only due to a lack of reviews. And it is always worth saying that good reviews are often more valuable than pull requests themselves.
+Note that reviewing does not only mean code review, but also offering comments on new interfaces added to existing plugins/modules, interfaces of new plugins/modules, improving language (not everyone is a native english speaker), or testing bugfixes and new features!
+
+Also, consider taking up a valuable, reviewed, but abandoned pull request which you could politely ask the original authors to complete yourself.
+
+* Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
+* Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
+* Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged. To avoid that git automatically does merges during pulls, you can configure it to do rebases instead by running `git config pull.rebase true` inside the respository checkout.
+* Make sure your PR includes a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/development_process.html#changelogs-how-to). (You must not include a fragment for new modules or new plugins, except for test and filter plugins. Also you shouldn't include one for docs-only changes. If you're not sure, simply don't include one, we'll tell you whether one is needed or not :) )
+* Avoid reformatting unrelated parts of the codebase in your PR. These types of changes will likely be requested for reversion, create additional work for reviewers, and may cause approval to be delayed.
+
+You can also read [our Quick-start development guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/create_pr_quick_start_guide.rst).
+
+## Test pull requests
+
+If you want to test a PR locally, refer to [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how do it quickly.
+
+If you find any inconsistencies or places in this document which can be improved, feel free to raise an issue or pull request to fix it.
+
+## Creating new modules or plugins
+
+Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
+
+1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
+   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
+
+2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
+   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
+   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding ``_info`` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
+   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.
+
+3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:
+
+   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
+   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
+     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
+   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
+     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
+   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
+     which run in CI.
+
+4. For modules and action plugins, make sure to create your module/plugin in the correct subdirectory, and create a symbolic link
+   from `plugins/modules/` respectively `plugins/action/` to the actual module/plugin code. (Other plugin types should not use
+   subdirectories.)
+
+   - Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
+     (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
+     than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
+
+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.

+This collection is shipped with the Ansible package. So if you have it installed, no more action is required.
+
+If you have a minimal installation (only Ansible Core installed) or you want to use the latest version of the collection along with the whole Ansible package, you need to install the collection from [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/general) manually with the `ansible-galaxy` command-line tool:
 
     ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

 ```
 
+Note that if you install the collection manually, it will not be upgraded automatically when you upgrade the Ansible package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+ansible-galaxy collection install community.general --upgrade
+```
+
+You can also install a specific version of the collection, for example, if you need to downgrade when something is broken in the latest version (please report an issue in this repository). Use the following syntax where `X.Y.Z` can be any [available version](https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/general):
+
+```bash
+ansible-galaxy collection install community.general:==X.Y.Z

-Basic instructions without release branches:
-
-1. Create `changelogs/fragments/<version>.yml` with `release_summary:` section (which must be a string, not a list).
-2. Run `antsibull-changelog release --collection-flatmap yes`
-3. Make sure `CHANGELOG.rst` and `changelogs/changelog.yaml` are added to git, and the deleted fragments have been removed.
-4. Tag the commit with `<version>`. Push changes and tag to the main repository.

+        collection instead and use its plugins and modules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2458).

+      - filesystem - cleanup and revamp module, tests and doc. Pass all commands to
+        ``module.run_command()`` as lists. Move the device-vs-mountpoint logic to

+        and ``token`` as keyword arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2124).
+      - cpanm - also use ``LC_ALL`` to enforce locale choice (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2731).
+      - influxdb_user - fix bug which removed current privileges instead of appending
+        them to existing ones (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2609,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2614).
+      - iptables_state - call ``async_status`` action plugin rather than its module
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2700).
+      - iptables_state - fix a broken query of ``async_status`` result with current
+        ansible-core development version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2627,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2671).

+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2560).

+        option is one of ``enabled``, ``disabled``, ``pinned``, ``unpinned``, or ``absent``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2510).
+      - json_query filter plugin - avoid 'unknown type' errors for more Ansible internal
+        types (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2607).
+      - keycloak_realm - ``ssl_required`` changed from a boolean type to accept the
+        strings ``none``, ``external`` or ``all``. This is not a breaking change since
+        the module always failed when a boolean was supplied (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2693).
+      - keycloak_realm - remove warning that ``reset_password_allowed`` needs to be
+        marked as ``no_log`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2694).
+      - module_helper module utils - ``CmdMixin`` must also use ``LC_ALL`` to enforce
+        locale choice (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2731).
+      - netcup_dns - use ``str(ex)`` instead of unreliable ``ex.message`` in exception
+        handling to fix ``AttributeError`` in error cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2590).
+      - ovir4 inventory script - improve configparser creation to avoid crashes for
+        options without values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/674).
+      - proxmox_kvm - fixed ``vmid`` return value when VM with ``name`` already exists
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2648).
+      - redis cache - improved connection string parsing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/497).
+      - rhsm_release - fix the issue that module considers 8, 7Client and 7Workstation
+        as invalid releases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2571).
+      - ssh_config - reduce stormssh searches based on host (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2568/).
+      - stacki_host - when adding a new server, ``rack`` and ``rank`` must be passed,
+        and network parameters are optional (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2681).
+      - terraform - ensure the workspace is set back to its previous value when the
+        apply fails (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2634).
+      - xfconf - also use ``LC_ALL`` to enforce locale choice (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2715).
+      - zypper_repository - fix idempotency on adding repository with ``$releasever``
+        and ``$basearch`` variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1985).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - All inventory and vault scripts will be removed from community.general in
+        version 4.0.0. If you are referencing them, please update your references
+        to the new `contrib-scripts GitHub repository <https://github.com/ansible-community/contrib-scripts>`_
+        so your workflow will not break once community.general 4.0.0 is released (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2697).
+      minor_changes:
+      - Remove unnecessary ``__init__.py`` files from ``plugins/`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2632).
+      - archive - added ``exclusion_patterns`` option to exclude files or subdirectories
+        from archives (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2616).
+      - cloud_init_data_facts - minor refactor (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2557).
+      - composer - add ``composer_executable`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2649).
+      - flatpak - add ``no_dependencies`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/55452,

+      - maven_artifact - added ``checksum_alg`` option to support SHA1 checksums in
+        order to support FIPS systems (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2662).
+      - module_helper module utils - method ``CmdMixin.run_command()`` now accepts
+        ``process_output`` specifying a function to process the outcome of the underlying
+        ``module.run_command()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2564).
+      - nmcli - add new options to ignore automatic DNS servers and gateways (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1087).

+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2779).

+  3.8.0:
+    changes:
+      bugfixes:
+      - gitlab_deploy_key - fix idempotency on projects with multiple deploy keys
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3473).
+      - gitlab_group - avoid passing wrong value for ``require_two_factor_authentication``
+        on creation when the option has not been specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3453).
+      - gitlab_group_members - ``get_group_id`` return the group ID by matching ``full_path``,
+        ``path`` or ``name`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3400).
+      - jboss - fix the deployment file permission issue when Jboss server is running
+        under non-root user. The deployment file is copied with file content only.
+        The file permission is set to ``440`` and belongs to root user. When the JBoss
+        ``WildFly`` server is running under non-root user, it is unable to read the
+        deployment file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3426).
+      - keycloak_authentication - fix bug, the requirement was always on ``DISABLED``
+        when creating a new authentication flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3330).
+      - keycloak_identity_provider - fix change detection when updating identity provider
+        mappers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3538,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3537).
+      - keycloak_role - quote role name when used in URL path to avoid errors when
+        role names contain special characters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3535,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3536).
+      - logstash callback plugin - replace ``_option`` with ``context.CLIARGS`` to
+        fix the plugin on ansible-base and ansible-core (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2692).
+      - macports - add ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` to return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3499).
+      - opentelemetry callback plugin - validated the task result exception without
+        crashing. Also simplifying code a bit (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3450,
+        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75726).
+      - yaml callback plugin - avoid modifying PyYAML so that other plugins using
+        it on the controller, like the ``to_yaml`` filter, do not produce different
+        output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3471,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3478).
+      - zypper_repository - when an URL to a .repo file was provided in option ``repo=``
+        and ``state=present`` only the first run was successful, future runs failed
+        due to missing checks prior starting zypper. Usage of ``state=absent`` in
+        combination with a .repo file was not working either (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1791,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3466).
+      minor_changes:
+      - mail - added the ``ehlohost`` parameter which allows for manual override of
+        the host used in SMTP EHLO (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3425).
+      - nmcli - the option ``routing_rules4`` can now be specified as a list of strings,
+        instead of as a single string (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3401).
+      - open-iscsi - adding support for mutual authentication between target and initiator
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3422).
+      - opentelemetry callback plugin - added option ``enable_from_environment`` to
+        support enabling the plugin only if the given environment variable exists
+        and it is set to true (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3498).
+      - opentelemetry callback plugin - enriched the stacktrace information with the
+        ``message``, ``exception`` and ``stderr`` fields from the failed task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3496).
+      - pkgng - packages being installed (or upgraded) are acted on in one command
+        (per action) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2265).
+      - pkgng - status message specifies number of packages installed and/or upgraded
+        separately. Previously, all changes were reported as one count of packages
+        "added" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3393).
+      - terraform - add ``parallelism`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3540).
+      - ufw - if ``delete=true`` and ``insert`` option is present, then ``insert``
+        is now ignored rather than failing with a syntax error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3514).
+      release_summary: Regular feature and bugfix release. Please note that this is
+        the last minor 3.x.0 release; afterwards there will only be bugfix releases

+community.general Filter Guide
+==============================
+
+The :ref:`community.general collection <plugins_in_community.general>` offers several useful filter plugins.
+
+.. contents:: Topics
+
+Paths
+-----
+
+The ``path_join`` filter has been added in ansible-base 2.10. If you want to use this filter, but also need to support Ansible 2.9, you can use ``community.general``'s ``path_join`` shim, ``community.general.path_join``. This filter redirects to ``path_join`` for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 or newer, and re-implements the filter for Ansible 2.9.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    # ansible-base 2.10 or newer:
+    path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | path_join }}
+
+    # Also works with Ansible 2.9:
+    path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | community.general.path_join }}
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.0.0
+
+Abstract transformations
+------------------------
+
+Dictionaries
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can use the ``dict_kv`` filter to create a single-entry dictionary with ``value | community.general.dict_kv(key)``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Create a single-entry dictionary
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ myvar | community.general.dict_kv('thatsmyvar') }}"
+      vars:
+        myvar: myvalue
+
+    - name: Create a list of dictionaries where the 'server' field is taken from a list
+      debug:
+        msg: >-
+          {{ myservers | map('community.general.dict_kv', 'server')
+                       | map('combine', common_config) }}
+      vars:
+        common_config:
+          type: host
+          database: all
+        myservers:
+        - server1
+        - server2
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Create a single-entry dictionary]  **************************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": {
+            "thatsmyvar": "myvalue"
+        }
+    }
+
+    TASK [Create a list of dictionaries where the 'server' field is taken from a list]  *******
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": [
+            {
+                "database": "all",
+                "server": "server1",
+                "type": "host"
+            },
+            {
+                "database": "all",
+                "server": "server2",
+                "type": "host"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
+
+If you need to convert a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary, you can use the ``dict`` function. Unfortunately, this function cannot be used with ``map``. For this, the ``community.general.dict`` filter can be used:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Create a dictionary with the dict function
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ dict([[1, 2], ['a', 'b']]) }}"
+
+    - name: Create a dictionary with the community.general.dict filter
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ [[1, 2], ['a', 'b']] | community.general.dict }}"
+
+    - name: Create a list of dictionaries with map and the community.general.dict filter
+      debug:
+        msg: >-
+          {{ values | map('zip', ['k1', 'k2', 'k3'])
+                    | map('map', 'reverse')
+                    | map('community.general.dict') }}
+      vars:
+        values:
+          - - foo
+            - 23
+            - a
+          - - bar
+            - 42
+            - b
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Create a dictionary with the dict function]  ****************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": {
+            "1": 2,
+            "a": "b"
+        }
+    }
+
+    TASK [Create a dictionary with the community.general.dict filter]  ************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": {
+            "1": 2,
+            "a": "b"
+        }
+    }
+
+    TASK [Create a list of dictionaries with map and the community.general.dict filter]  ******
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": [
+            {
+                "k1": "foo",
+                "k2": 23,
+                "k3": "a"
+            },
+            {
+                "k1": "bar",
+                "k2": 42,
+                "k3": "b"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.0.0
+
+Grouping
+^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the ``community.general.groupby_as_dict`` filter to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
+
+One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Output mount facts grouped by device name
+      debug:
+        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')
+
+    - name: Output mount facts grouped by mount point
+      debug:
+        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('mount')
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Output mount facts grouped by device name] ******************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')": {
+            "/dev/sda1": {
+                "block_available": 2000,
+                "block_size": 4096,
+                "block_total": 2345,
+                "block_used": 345,
+                "device": "/dev/sda1",
+                "fstype": "ext4",

+Working with times
+------------------
+
+The ``to_time_unit`` filter allows to convert times from a human-readable string to a unit. For example, ``'4h 30min 12second' | community.general.to_time_unit('hour')`` gives the number of hours that correspond to 4 hours, 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
+
+There are shorthands to directly convert to various units, like ``to_hours``, ``to_minutes``, ``to_seconds``, and so on. The following table lists all units that can be used:
+
+.. list-table:: Units
+   :widths: 25 25 25 25
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - Unit name
+     - Unit value in seconds

+     - Shorthand filter
+   * - Millisecond
+     - 1/1000 second
+     - ``ms``, ``millisecond``, ``milliseconds``, ``msec``, ``msecs``, ``msecond``, ``mseconds``
+     - ``to_milliseconds``
+   * - Second
+     - 1 second
+     - ``s``, ``sec``, ``secs``, ``second``, ``seconds``
+     - ``to_seconds``
+   * - Minute
+     - 60 seconds
+     - ``m``, ``min``, ``mins``, ``minute``, ``minutes``
+     - ``to_minutes``
+   * - Hour
+     - 60*60 seconds
+     - ``h``, ``hour``, ``hours``
+     - ``to_hours``
+   * - Day
+     - 24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``d``, ``day``, ``days``
+     - ``to_days``
+   * - Week
+     - 7*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``w``, ``week``, ``weeks``
+     - ``to_weeks``
+   * - Month
+     - 30*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``mo``, ``month``, ``months``
+     - ``to_months``
+   * - Year
+     - 365*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``y``, ``year``, ``years``
+     - ``to_years``
+
+Note that months and years are using a simplified representation: a month is 30 days, and a year is 365 days. If you need different definitions of months or years, you can pass them as keyword arguments. For example, if you want a year to be 365.25 days, and a month to be 30.5 days, you can write ``'11months 4' | community.general.to_years(year=365.25, month=30.5)``. These keyword arguments can be specified to ``to_time_unit`` and to all shorthand filters.

+
+If you need to sort a list of version numbers, the Jinja ``sort`` filter is problematic. Since it sorts lexicographically, ``2.10`` will come before ``2.9``. To treat version numbers correctly, you can use the ``version_sort`` filter:

+Creating identifiers
+--------------------
+
+The following filters allow to create identifiers.
+
+Hashids
+^^^^^^^
+
+`Hashids <https://hashids.org/>`_ allow to convert sequences of integers to short unique string identifiers. This filter needs the `hashids Python library <https://pypi.org/project/hashids/>`_ installed on the controller.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: "Create hashid"
+      debug:

+            5,
+            6
+        ]
+    }
+
+The hashids filters accept keyword arguments to allow fine-tuning the hashids generated:
+
+:salt: String to use as salt when hashing.
+:alphabet: String of 16 or more unique characters to produce a hash.
+:min_length: Minimum length of hash produced.
+
+.. versionadded: 3.0.0
+
+Random MACs
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can use the ``random_mac`` filter to complete a partial `MAC address <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address>`_ to a random 6-byte MAC address.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: "Create a random MAC starting with ff:"
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ 'FF' | community.general.random_mac }}"

+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": "00:11:22:71:5d:3b"
+    }
+
+You can also initialize the random number generator from a seed to create random-but-idempotent MAC addresses:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    "{{ '52:54:00' | community.general.random_mac(seed=inventory_hostname) }}"
+
+Conversions
+-----------
+
+Parsing CSV files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Ansible offers the :ref:`community.general.read_csv module <ansible_collections.community.general.read_csv_module>` to read CSV files. Sometimes you need to convert strings to CSV files instead. For this, the ``from_csv`` filter exists.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: "Parse CSV from string"
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ csv_string | community.general.from_csv }}"

+          foo,bar,baz
+          1,2,3
+          you,this,then
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Parse CSV from string] **************************************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": [
+            {
+                "bar": "2",
+                "baz": "3",
+                "foo": "1"
+            },
+            {
+                "bar": "this",
+                "baz": "then",
+                "foo": "you"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+
+The ``from_csv`` filter has several keyword arguments to control its behavior:
+
+:dialect: Dialect of the CSV file. Default is ``excel``. Other possible choices are ``excel-tab`` and ``unix``. If one of ``delimiter``, ``skipinitialspace`` or ``strict`` is specified, ``dialect`` is ignored.
+:fieldnames: A set of column names to use. If not provided, the first line of the CSV is assumed to contain the column names.
+:delimiter: Sets the delimiter to use. Default depends on the dialect used.
+:skipinitialspace: Set to ``true`` to ignore space directly after the delimiter. Default depends on the dialect used (usually ``false``).
+:strict: Set to ``true`` to error out on invalid CSV input.
+
+.. versionadded: 3.0.0
+
+Converting to JSON
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+`JC <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ is a CLI tool and Python library which allows to interpret output of various CLI programs as JSON. It is also available as a filter in community.general. This filter needs the `jc Python library <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ installed on the controller.

+
+.. note:: You must manually install the **jmespath** dependency on the Ansible controller before using this filter. This filter is built upon **jmespath**, and you can use the same syntax. For examples, see `jmespath examples <http://jmespath.org/examples.html>`_.

+                        "target": "cluster1"
+                    },

+
+To extract all clusters from this structure, you can use the following query:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all cluster names
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.cluster[*].name') }}"
+
+To extract all server names:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all server names
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[*].name') }}"
+
+To extract ports from cluster1:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].port"
+
+.. note:: You can use a variable to make the query more readable.
+
+To print out the ports from cluster1 in a comma separated string:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1 as a string
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==`cluster1`].port') | join(', ') }}"
+
+.. note:: In the example above, quoting literals using backticks avoids escaping quotes and maintains readability.
+
+You can use YAML `single quote escaping <https://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2534365>`_:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==''cluster1''].port') }}"
+
+.. note:: Escaping single quotes within single quotes in YAML is done by doubling the single quote.
+
+To get a hash map with all ports and names of a cluster:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all server ports and names from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster2'].{name: name, port: port}"
+
+To extract ports from all clusters with name starting with 'server1':
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_query: "domain.server[?starts_with(name,'server1')].port"
+
+To extract ports from all clusters with name containing 'server1':
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_query: "domain.server[?contains(name,'server1')].port"
+
+.. note:: while using ``starts_with`` and ``contains``, you have to use `` to_json | from_json `` filter for correct parsing of data structure.
+
+Working with Unicode
+---------------------
+
+`Unicode <https://unicode.org/main.html>`_ makes it possible to produce two strings which may be visually equivalent, but are comprised of distinctly different characters/character sequences. To address this ``Unicode`` defines `normalization forms <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ which avoid these distinctions by choosing a unique character sequence for a given visual representation.
+
+You can use the ``community.general.unicode_normalize`` filter to normalize ``Unicode`` strings within your playbooks.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Compare Unicode representations
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ with_combining_character | community.general.unicode_normalize == without_combining_character }}"
+      vars:
+        with_combining_character: "{{ 'Mayagu\u0308ez' }}"
+        without_combining_character: Mayagüez
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Compare Unicode representations] ********************************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": true
+    }
+
+The ``community.general.unicode_normalize`` filter accepts a keyword argument to select the ``Unicode`` form used to normalize the input string.
+
+:form: One of ``'NFC'`` (default), ``'NFD'``, ``'NFKC'``, or ``'NFKD'``. See the `Unicode reference <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ for more information.
