+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- docker connection plugin - fix Docker version parsing, as some docker versions have a leading ``v`` in the output of the command ``docker version --format "{{.Server.Version}}"`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/76).
+- filesystem - do not fail when ``resizefs=yes`` and ``fstype=xfs`` if there is nothing to do, even if the filesystem is not mounted. This only covers systems supporting access to unmounted XFS filesystems. Others will still fail (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1457, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1478).
+- gitlab_user - make updates to the ``isadmin``, ``password`` and ``confirm`` options of an already existing GitLab user work (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1724).
+- parted - change the regex that decodes the partition size to better support different formats that parted uses. Change the regex that validates parted's version string (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1695).
+- redfish_info module, redfish_utils module utils - add ``Name`` and ``Id`` properties to output of Redfish inventory commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1650).
+- sensu-silence module - fix json parsing of sensu API responses on Python 3.5 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1703).
+
+v1.3.5
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- dnsmadeeasy - fix HTTP 400 errors when creating a TXT record (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1237).
+- docker_container - allow IPv6 zones (RFC 4007) in bind IPs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/66).
+- docker_image - fix crash on loading images with versions of Docker SDK for Python before 2.5.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/72, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/73).
+- homebrew - add default search path for ``brew`` on Apple silicon hardware (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1679).
+- homebrew_cask - add default search path for ``brew`` on Apple silicon hardware (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1679).
+- homebrew_tap - add default search path for ``brew`` on Apple silicon hardware (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1679).
+- lldp - use ``get_bin_path`` to locate the ``lldpctl`` executable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1643).
+- onepassword lookup plugin - updated to support password items, which place the password field directly in the payload's ``details`` attribute (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1610).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - fix compatibility with gopass when used with ``create=true``. While pass returns 1 on a non-existent password, gopass returns 10, or 11, depending on whether a similar named password was stored. We now just check standard output and that the return code is not zero (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1589).
+- terraform - improve result code checking when executing terraform commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1632).
+
+v1.3.4
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix/security release that addresses CVE-2021-20180.
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- bitbucket_pipeline_variable - **CVE-2021-20180** - hide user sensitive information which are marked as ``secured`` from logging into the console (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1635).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- npm - handle json decode exception while parsing command line output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1614).
+
+v1.3.3
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix/security release that addresses CVE-2021-20178.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the kubevirt modules will be moved to the `community.kubevirt <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/kubevirt>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use kubevirt modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.kubevirt.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.kubevirt_vm`` in a task by ``community.kubevirt.kubevirt_vm``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the kubevirt modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.kubevirt`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.general.kubevirt_vm`` instead of ``kubevirt_vm``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- snmp_facts - **CVE-2021-20178** - hide user sensitive information such as ``privkey`` and ``authkey`` from logging into the console (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1621).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- terraform - fix ``init_reconfigure`` option for proper CLI args (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1620).
+
+v1.3.2
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+

+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the Google modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.google`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.general.gcpubsub`` instead of ``gcpubsub``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the OC connection plugin will be moved to the `community.okd <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/okd>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use OC connection plugin from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs ``community.okd.oc`` instead of ``community.general.oc``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the OC connection plugin, you have to make sure to install the ``community.okd`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, in other words ``community.general.oc`` instead of ``oc``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust this FQCN as well.
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the hashi_vault lookup plugin will be moved to the `community.hashi_vault <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/hashi_vault>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use hashi_vault lookup plugin from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs ``community.hashi_vault.hashi_vault`` instead of ``community.general.hashi_vault``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the hashi_vault lookup plugin, you have to make sure to install the ``community.hashi_vault`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, in other words ``community.general.hashi_vault`` instead of ``hashi_vault``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust this FQCN as well.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- homebrew_cask - Homebrew will be deprecating use of ``brew cask`` commands as of version 2.6.0, see https://brew.sh/2020/12/01/homebrew-2.6.0/. Added logic to stop using ``brew cask`` for brew version >= 2.6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1481).
+- jira - added the traceback output to ``fail_json()`` calls deriving from exceptions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1536).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- docker_image - if ``push=true`` is used with ``repository``, and the image does not need to be tagged, still push. This can happen if ``repository`` and ``name`` are equal (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/52, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/53).
+- docker_image - report error when loading a broken archive that contains no image (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/46, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/55).
+- docker_image - report error when the loaded archive does not contain the specified image (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/41, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/55).
+- jira - ``fetch`` and ``search`` no longer indicate that something changed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1536).
+- jira - ensured parameter ``issue`` is mandatory for operation ``transition`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1536).
+- jira - module no longer incorrectly reports change for information gathering operations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1536).
+- jira - replaced custom parameter validation with ``required_if`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1536).
+- launchd - handle deprecated APIs like ``readPlist`` and ``writePlist`` in ``plistlib`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1552).
+- ldap_search - the module no longer incorrectly reports a change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1040).
+- make - fixed ``make`` parameter used for check mode when running a non-GNU ``make`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1574).
+- monit - add support for all monit service checks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1532).
+- nios_member - fix Python 3 compatibility with nios api ``member_normalize`` function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1526).
+- nmcli - remove ``bridge-slave`` from list of IP based connections ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1500).
+- pamd - added logic to retain the comment line (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1394).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - always use explicit ``show`` command to retrieve password. This ensures compatibility with ``gopass`` and avoids problems when password names equal ``pass`` commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1493).
+- rhn_channel - Python 2.7.5 fails if the certificate should not be validated. Fixed this by creating the correct ``ssl_context`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/470).
+- sendgrid - update documentation and warn user about sendgrid Python library version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1553).
+- syslogger - update ``syslog.openlog`` API call for older Python versions, and improve error handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/953).
+- yaml callback plugin - do not remove non-ASCII Unicode characters from multiline string output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1519).
+
+v1.3.1
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- bigpanda - removed the dynamic default for ``host`` param (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1423).
+- bitbucket_pipeline_variable - change pagination logic for pipeline variable get API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1425).
+- cobbler inventory script - add Python 3 support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/638).
+- docker_container - the validation for ``capabilities`` in ``device_requests`` was incorrect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/42, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/43).

+v1.3.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is the last minor 1.x.0 release. The next releases from the stable-1 branch will be 1.3.y patch releases.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the Hetzner Robot modules will be moved to the `community.hrobot <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/hrobot>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use Hetzner Robot modules from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.hrobot.`` instead of ``community.general.hetzner_``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.hetzner_firewall_info`` in a task by ``community.hrobot.firewall_info``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the Hetzner Robot modules, you have to make sure to install the ``community.hrobot`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.hetzner_failover_ip`` instead of ``hetzner_failover_ip``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the ``docker`` modules and plugins will be moved to the `community.docker <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/docker>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use ``docker`` content from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.docker.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.docker_container`` in a task by ``community.docker.docker_container``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the ``docker`` content, you have to make sure to install the ``community.docker`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.docker_container`` instead of ``docker_container``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+- For community.general 2.0.0, the ``postgresql`` modules and plugins will be moved to the `community.postgresql <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/postgresql>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use ``postgresql`` content from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``community.postgresql.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.postgresql_info`` in a task by ``community.postgresql.postgresql_info``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the ``postgresql`` content, you have to make sure to install the ``community.postgresql`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, i.e. ``community.general.postgresql_info`` instead of ``postgresql_info``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.posix collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1157).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+

+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is release 1.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2020-07-31.
+
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Add the ``gcpubsub``, ``gcpubsub_info`` and ``gcpubsub_facts`` (to be removed in 3.0.0) modules. These were originally in community.general, but removed on the assumption that they have been moved to google.cloud. Since this turned out to be incorrect, we re-added them for 1.0.0.
+- Add the deprecated ``gcp_backend_service``, ``gcp_forwarding_rule`` and ``gcp_healthcheck`` modules, which will be removed in 2.0.0. These were originally in community.general, but removed on the assumption that they have been moved to google.cloud. Since this turned out to be incorrect, we re-added them for 1.0.0.
+- The collection is now actively tested in CI with the latest Ansible 2.9 release.
+- airbrake_deployment - add ``version`` param; clarified docs on ``revision`` param (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/583).
+- apk - added ``no_cache`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/548).
+- firewalld - the module has been moved to the ``ansible.posix`` collection. A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/623).
+- gitlab_project - add support for merge_method on projects (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/66813).
+- gitlab_runners inventory plugin - permit environment variable input for ``server_url``, ``api_token`` and ``filter`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/611).
+- haproxy - add options to dis/enable health and agent checks.  When health and agent checks are enabled for a service, a disabled service will re-enable itself automatically.  These options also change the state of the agent checks to match the requested state for the backend (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/684).
+- log_plays callback - use v2 methods (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
+- logstash callback - add ini config (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/610).
+- lxd_container - added support of ``--target`` flag for cluster deployments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/637).
+- parted - accept negative numbers in ``part_start`` and ``part_end``
+- pkgng - added ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` attributes to the result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/560).
+- pkgng - added support for upgrading all packages using ``name: *, state: latest``, similar to other package providers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+- postgresql_query - add search_path parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/625).
+- rundeck_acl_policy - add check for rundeck_acl_policy name parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/612).
+- slack - add support for sending messages built with block kit (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/380).
+- splunk callback - add an option to allow not to validate certificate from HEC (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/596).
+- xfconf - add arrays support (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46308).
+- xfconf - add support for ``uint`` type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/696).
+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- log_plays callback - add missing information to the logs generated by the callback plugin. This changes the log message format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
+- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: absent`` will no longer remove every installed package from the system. It is now a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: latest`` or ``state: present`` will no longer install every package from the configured package repositories. Instead, ``name: *, state: latest`` will upgrade all already-installed packages, and ``name: *, state: present`` is a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- The ldap_attr module has been deprecated and will be removed in a later release; use ldap_attrs instead.
+- xbps - the ``force`` option never had any effect. It is now deprecated, and will be removed in 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/568).
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- conjur_variable lookup - has been moved to the ``cyberark.conjur`` collection. A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/570).
+- digital_ocean_* - all DigitalOcean modules have been moved to the ``community.digitalocean`` collection. A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/622).
+- infini_* - all infinidat modules have been moved to the ``infinidat.infinibox`` collection. A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/607).
+- logicmonitor - the module has been removed in 1.0.0 since it is unmaintained and the API used by the module has been turned off in 2017 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/539, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/541).
+- logicmonitor_facts - the module has been removed in 1.0.0 since it is unmaintained and the API used by the module has been turned off in 2017 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/539, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/541).
+- mysql_* - all MySQL modules have been moved to the ``community.mysql`` collection. A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/633).
+- proxysql_* - all ProxySQL modules have been moved to the ``community.proxysql`` collection. A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/624).

Otherwise, the service will be started on each play and stopped again immediately due to the ``stopped`` parameter and breaks the idempotency of the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/532).
+- docker_compose - disallow usage of the parameters ``stopped`` and ``restarted`` at the same time. This breaks also the idempotency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/532).
+- docker_container - use Config MacAddress by default instead of Networks. Networks MacAddress is empty in some cases (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70206).

+- pacman - treat package names containing .zst as package files during installation (https://www.archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-of-xz-for-package-compression/, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/650).
+- pbrun become plugin - address a bug with the parameters handling that was breaking the plugin in community.general when ``become_user`` was not explicitly specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/708).

 - docker_container - the ``network_mode`` option will be set by default to the name of the first network in ``networks`` if at least one network is given and ``networks_cli_compatible`` is ``true`` (will be default from community.general 2.0.0 on).
