+v5.0.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is release 5.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2022-05-17.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- The community.general collection no longer supports Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10. While we take no active measures to prevent usage, we will remove a lot of compatibility code and other compatility measures that will effectively prevent using most content from this collection with Ansible 2.9, and some content of this collection with ansible-base 2.10. Both Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to ansible-core 2.11 or later as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Avoid internal ansible-core module_utils in favor of equivalent public API available since at least Ansible 2.9. This fixes some instances added since the last time this was fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4232).
+- ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase` now delegates the attributes ``check_mode``, ``get_bin_path``, ``warn``, and ``deprecate`` to the underlying ``AnsibleModule`` instance (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4600).
+- ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase`` now has a convenience method ``do_raise`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4660).
+- Remove vendored copy of ``distutils.version`` in favor of vendored copy included with ansible-core 2.12+. For ansible-core 2.11, uses ``distutils.version`` for Python < 3.12. There is no support for ansible-core 2.11 with Python 3.12+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).
+- aix_filesystem - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3833).
+- aix_lvg - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3834).
+- alternatives - add ``state`` parameter, which provides control over whether the alternative should be set as the active selection for its alternatives group (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4543, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4557).
+- ansible_galaxy_install - added option ``no_deps`` to the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4174).
+- atomic_container - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4567).

+- datadog_monitor - support new datadog event monitor of type `event-v2 alert` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4457)
+- filesystem - add support for resizing btrfs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4465).

+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- Parts of this collection do not work with ansible-core 2.11 on Python 3.12+. Please either upgrade to ansible-core 2.12+, or use Python 3.11 or earlier (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).
+- The symbolic links used to implement flatmapping for all modules were removed and replaced by ``meta/runtime.yml`` redirects. This effectively breaks compatibility with Ansible 2.9 for all modules (without using their "long" names, which is discouraged and which can change without previous notice since they are considered an implementation detail) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).

+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- ansible_galaxy_install - deprecated support for ``ansible`` 2.9 and ``ansible-base`` 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4601).
+- dig lookup plugin - the ``DLV`` record type has been decommissioned in 2017 and support for it will be removed from community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4618).
+- gem - the default of the ``norc`` option has been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 6.0.0. Explicitly specify a value to avoid a deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4517).
+- mail callback plugin - not specifying ``sender`` is deprecated and will be disallowed in community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4140).
+- module_helper module utils - deprecated the attribute ``ModuleHelper.VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3801).
+- nmcli - deprecate default hairpin mode for a bridge. This so we can change it to ``false`` in community.general 7.0.0, as this is also the default in ``nmcli`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4334).
+- pacman - from community.general 5.0.0 on, the ``changed`` status of ``update_cache`` will no longer be ignored if ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified. To keep the old behavior, add something like ``register: result`` and ``changed_when: result.packages | length > 0`` to your task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - the current default ``true`` of the ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host`` option has been deprecated. The default will change to ``false`` in community.general 6.0.0. To keep the current behavior, explicitly set ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host`` to ``true`` in your inventory configuration. We suggest to already switch to the new behavior by explicitly setting it to ``false``, and by using ``compose:`` to set ``ansible_host`` to the correct value. See the examples in the plugin documentation for details (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4466).
+- vmadm - deprecated module parameter ``debug`` that was not used anywhere (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4580).
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- ali_instance_info - removed the options ``availability_zone``, ``instance_ids``, and ``instance_names``. Use filter item ``zone_id`` instead of ``availability_zone``, filter item ``instance_ids`` instead of ``instance_ids``, and filter item ``instance_name`` instead of ``instance_names`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- apt_rpm - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- compose - removed various deprecated aliases. Use the version with ``_`` instead of ``-`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- dnsimple - remove support for dnsimple < 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- github_deploy_key - removed the deprecated alias ``2fa_token`` of ``otp`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- homebrew, homebrew_cask - removed the deprecated alias ``update-brew`` of ``update_brew`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- linode - removed the ``backupsenabled`` option. Use ``backupweeklyday`` or ``backupwindow`` to enable backups (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- opkg - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- pacman - if ``update_cache=true`` is used with ``name`` or ``upgrade``, the changed state will now also indicate if only the cache was updated. To keep the old behavior - only indicate ``changed`` when a package was installed/upgraded -, use ``changed_when`` as indicated in the module examples (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- pacman - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- proxmox, proxmox_kvm, proxmox_snap - no longer allow to specify a VM name that matches multiple VMs. If this happens, the modules now fail (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- serverless - removed the ``functions`` option. It was not used by the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- slackpkg - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- urpmi - removed the deprecated alias ``no-recommends`` of ``no_recommends`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- urpmi - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- xbps - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- xfconf - the ``get`` state has been removed. Use the ``xfconf_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+

+- keycloak - fix parameters types for ``defaultDefaultClientScopes`` and ``defaultOptionalClientScopes`` from list of dictionaries to list of strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4526).
+- keycloak_* - the documented ``validate_certs`` parameter was not taken into account when calling the ``open_url`` function in some cases, thus enforcing certificate validation even when ``validate_certs`` was set to ``false``. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4382)

+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+- pacman - ``update_cache`` cannot differentiate between up to date and outdated package lists and will report ``changed`` in both situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).
+- pacman - binaries specified in the ``executable`` parameter must support ``--print-format`` in order to be used by this module. In particular, AUR helper ``yay`` is known not to currently support it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4312).

+## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally
+
+You have to check out the repository into a specific path structure to be able to run `ansible-test`. The path to the git checkout must end with `.../ansible_collections/community/general`. Please see [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how to check out the repository into a correct path structure. The short version of these instructions is:
+
+```.bash
+mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/community
+git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
+cd ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
+```
+
+Then you can run `ansible-test` (which is a part of [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/)) inside the checkout. The following example commands expect that you have installed Docker or Podman. Note that Podman has only been supported by more recent ansible-core releases. If you are using Docker, the following will work with Ansible 2.9+.

+The following commands show how to run integration tests:
+
+```.bash
+# Run integration tests for the interfaces_files module in a Docker container using the
+# fedora35 operating system image (the supported images depend on your ansible-core version):
+ansible-test integration --docker fedora35 -v interfaces_file
+
+# Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
+ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened
+```
+
+If you are unsure about the integration test target name for a module or plugin, you can take a look in `tests/integration/targets/`. Tests for plugins have the plugin type prepended.

+
+To help ensure high-quality contributions this repository includes a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) configuration which
+corrects and tests against common issues that would otherwise cause CI to fail. To begin using these pre-commit hooks see
+the [Installation](#installation) section below.
+
+This is optional and not required to contribute to this repository.
+
+### Installation
+
+Follow the [instructions](https://pre-commit.com/#install) provided with pre-commit and run `pre-commit install` under the repository base. If for any reason you would like to disable the pre-commit hooks run `pre-commit uninstall`.
+
+This is optional to run it locally.
+
+You can trigger it locally with `pre-commit run --all-files` or even to run only for a given file `pre-commit run --files YOUR_FILE`.

+    changes:
+      breaking_changes:
+      - lists_mergeby and groupby_as_dict filter plugins - adjust filter plugin filename.
+        This change is not visible to end-users, it only affects possible other collections
+        importing Python paths (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4625).
+      - yarn - remove unsupported and unnecessary ``--no-emoji`` flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4662).
+      bugfixes:
+      - consul - fixed bug where class ``ConsulService`` was overwriting the field
+        ``checks``, preventing the addition of checks to a service (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4590).
+      - gconftool2 - properly escape values when passing them to ``gconftool-2`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4647).
+      - gitlab_hook - avoid errors during idempotency check when an attribute does
+        not exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4668).
+      - onepassword - search all valid configuration locations and use the first found
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4640).
+      - opentelemetry callback plugin - fix task message attribute that is reported
+        failed regardless of the task result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4624).
+      - opentelemetry callback plugin - fix warning for the include_tasks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4623).
+      - redfish_command - the iLO4 Redfish implementation only supports the ``image_url``
+        parameter in the underlying API calls to ``VirtualMediaInsert`` and ``VirtualMediaEject``.
+        Any values set (or the defaults) for ``write_protected`` or ``inserted`` will
+        be ignored (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4596).
+      - terraform - fix list initialization to support both Python 2 and Python 3
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4531).
+      - zypper - fix undefined variable when running in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4667).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - ansible_galaxy_install - deprecated support for ``ansible`` 2.9 and ``ansible-base``
+        2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4601).
+      - dig lookup plugin - the ``DLV`` record type has been decommissioned in 2017
+        and support for it will be removed from community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4618).
+      minor_changes:
+      - ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase` now delegates the attributes
+        ``check_mode``, ``get_bin_path``, ``warn``, and ``deprecate`` to the underlying
+        ``AnsibleModule`` instance (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4600).
+      - ModuleHelper module utils - ``ModuleHelperBase`` now has a convenience method
+        ``do_raise`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4660).
+      - ipa_dnsrecord - add new argument ``record_values``, mutually exclusive to
+        ``record_value``, which supports multiple values for one record (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4578).
+      - pritunl_user - add ``mac_addresses`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4535).
+      - rax_files_objects - minor refactoring improving code quality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4649).
+      - redfish_* modules - the contents of ``@Message.ExtendedInfo`` will be returned
+        as a string in the event that ``@Message.ExtendedInfo.Messages`` does not
+        exist. This is likely more useful than the standard HTTP error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4596).
+      - to_time_unit filter plugins - the time filters has been extended to also allow
+        ``0`` as input (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4612).
+      - vmadm - minor refactoring and improvement on the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4581).

+        such as ``upgrade``, report ``changed`` based on the actions performed by
+        the latter option. This was the behavior in community.general 4.4.0 and before.
+        In community.general 4.5.0, a task combining these options would always report
+        ``changed`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).

+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4371, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4421).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - gem - the default of the ``norc`` option has been deprecated and will change
+        to ``true`` in community.general 6.0.0. Explicitly specify a value to avoid
+        a deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4517).
+      - mail callback plugin - not specifying ``sender`` is deprecated and will be
+        disallowed in community.general 6.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4140).
+      - module_helper module utils - deprecated the attribute ``ModuleHelper.VarDict``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3801).
+      - nmcli - deprecate default hairpin mode for a bridge. This so we can change
+        it to ``false`` in community.general 7.0.0, as this is also the default in
+        ``nmcli`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4334).
+      - 'pacman - from community.general 5.0.0 on, the ``changed`` status of ``update_cache``
+        will no longer be ignored if ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified. To keep
+        the old behavior, add something like ``register: result`` and ``changed_when:
+        result.packages | length > 0`` to your task (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).'
+      - proxmox inventory plugin - the current default ``true`` of the ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host``
+        option has been deprecated. The default will change to ``false`` in community.general
+        6.0.0. To keep the current behavior, explicitly set ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host``
+        to ``true`` in your inventory configuration. We suggest to already switch
+        to the new behavior by explicitly setting it to ``false``, and by using ``compose:``
+        to set ``ansible_host`` to the correct value. See the examples in the plugin
+        documentation for details (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4466).
+      - vmadm - deprecated module parameter ``debug`` that was not used anywhere (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4580).
+      known_issues:
+      - pacman - ``update_cache`` cannot differentiate between up to date and outdated
+        package lists and will report ``changed`` in both situations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4318).
+      - pacman - binaries specified in the ``executable`` parameter must support ``--print-format``
+        in order to be used by this module. In particular, AUR helper ``yay`` is known
+        not to currently support it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4312).
+      major_changes:
+      - The community.general collection no longer supports Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base
+        2.10. While we take no active measures to prevent usage, we will remove a
+        lot of compatibility code and other compatility measures that will effectively
+        prevent using most content from this collection with Ansible 2.9, and some
+        content of this collection with ansible-base 2.10. Both Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base
+        2.10 will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should
+        consider upgrading to ansible-core 2.11 or later as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+      minor_changes:
+      - Avoid internal ansible-core module_utils in favor of equivalent public API
+        available since at least Ansible 2.9. This fixes some instances added since
+        the last time this was fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4232).
+      - Remove vendored copy of ``distutils.version`` in favor of vendored copy included
+        with ansible-core 2.12+. For ansible-core 2.11, uses ``distutils.version``
+        for Python < 3.12. There is no support for ansible-core 2.11 with Python 3.12+
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3988).
+      - aix_filesystem - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead

+        the alternative should be set as the active selection for its alternatives

+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4557).

+        parameter accepting ``"true"`` and ``"false"``. Also the module is now idempotent
+        with respect to ``dynamicupdate`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3374).

+        Adds ``cache_updated`` return value to when ``update_cache=true`` to report
+        this result independently of the module's overall changed return value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4337).
+      - pacman - the module has been rewritten and is now much faster when using ``state=latest``.
+        Operations are now done all packages at once instead of package per package
+        and the configured output format of ``pacman`` no longer affect the module's
+        operation. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3907,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3783, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4079)
+      - passwordstore lookup plugin - add configurable ``lock`` and ``locktimeout``
+        options to avoid race conditions in itself and in the ``pass`` utility it
+        calls. By default, the plugin now locks on write operations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4194).
+      - pipx - added options ``editable`` and ``pip_args`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4300).
+      - profitbricks - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4567).

+      - proxmox inventory plugin - add token authentication as an alternative to username/password
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4540).
+      - proxmox inventory plugin - parse LXC configs returned by the proxmox API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4472).
+      - proxmox modules - move ``HAS_PROXMOXER`` check into ``module_utils`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4030).

+        with new ``efidisk0`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4106,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1638).
+      - proxmox_kwm - add ``win11`` to ``ostype`` parameter for Windows 11 and Windows
+        Server 2022 support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4023,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4191).
+      - proxmox_snap - add restore snapshot option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4377).
+      - proxmox_snap - fixed timeout value to correctly reflect time in seconds. The
+        timeout was off by one second (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4377).
+      - puppet - remove deprecation for ``show_diff`` parameter. Its alias ``show-diff``
+        is still deprecated and will be removed in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3980).
+      - python_requirements_info - returns python version broken down into its components,
+        and some minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3797).

+        and ``ca_certs`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4207).
+      - scaleway inventory plugin - add profile parameter ``scw_profile`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4049).
+      - scaleway_compute - add possibility to use project identifier (new ``project``
+        option) instead of deprecated organization identifier (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3951).
+      - scaleway_volume - all volumes are systematically created on par1 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3964).
+      - seport - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4471).

+      - terraform - adds ``terraform_upgrade`` parameter which allows ``terraform
+        init`` to satisfy new provider constraints in an existing Terraform project
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4333).
+      - udm_group - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4556).
+      - udm_share - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4556).
+      - vmadm - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4567).

+      removed_features:
+      - ali_instance_info - removed the options ``availability_zone``, ``instance_ids``,
+        and ``instance_names``. Use filter item ``zone_id`` instead of ``availability_zone``,
+        filter item ``instance_ids`` instead of ``instance_ids``, and filter item
+        ``instance_name`` instead of ``instance_names`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+      - apt_rpm - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+      - compose - removed various deprecated aliases. Use the version with ``_`` instead
+        of ``-`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+      - dnsimple - remove support for dnsimple < 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).

+        ``update_brew`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+      - linode - removed the ``backupsenabled`` option. Use ``backupweeklyday`` or

+      - opkg - removed the deprecated alias ``update-cache`` of ``update_cache`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+      - pacman - if ``update_cache=true`` is used with ``name`` or ``upgrade``, the
+        changed state will now also indicate if only the cache was updated. To keep
+        the old behavior - only indicate ``changed`` when a package was installed/upgraded
+        -, use ``changed_when`` as indicated in the module examples (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
