 ===============================
 
 .. contents:: Topics
+
+This changelog describes changes after version 5.0.0.
+
+v6.6.2
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- csv module utils - detects and remove unicode BOM markers from incoming CSV content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6662).
+- gitlab_group - the module passed parameters to the API call even when not set. The module is now filtering out ``None`` values to remediate this (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6712).
+- ini_file - fix a bug where the inactive options were not used when possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6575).
+- keycloak module utils - fix ``is_struct_included`` handling of lists of lists/dictionaries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6688).
+- keycloak module utils - the function ``get_user_by_username`` now return the user representation or ``None`` as stated in the documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6758).
+
+v6.6.1
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- dconf - if ``gi.repository.GLib`` is missing, try to respawn in a Python interpreter that has it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6491).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- deps module utils - do not fail when dependency cannot be found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6479).
+- nmcli - fix bond option ``xmit_hash_policy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6527).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.16 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6447).
+- portage - fix ``changed_use`` and ``newuse`` not triggering rebuilds (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6008, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6548).
+- portage - update the logic for generating the emerge command arguments to ensure that ``withbdeps: false`` results in a passing an ``n`` argument with the ``--with-bdeps`` emerge flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6451, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6456).
+- proxmox_tasks_info - remove ``api_user`` + ``api_password`` constraint from ``required_together`` as it causes to require ``api_password`` even when API token param is used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6201).
+- puppet - handling ``noop`` parameter was not working at all, now it is has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6452, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6458).

+
+Feature and bugfix release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+

+- make - add ``command`` return value to the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6160).
+- nmap inventory plugin - add new option ``open`` for only returning open ports (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6200).
+- nmap inventory plugin - add new option ``port`` for port specific scan (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6165).
+- nmcli - add ``default`` and ``default-or-eui64`` to the list of valid choices for ``addr_gen_mode6`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5974).
+- nmcli - add support for ``team.runner-fast-rate`` parameter for ``team`` connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6065).
+- openbsd_pkg - set ``TERM`` to ``'dumb'`` in ``execute_command()`` to make module less dependant on the ``TERM`` environment variable set on the Ansible controller (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6149).
+- pipx - optional ``install_apps`` parameter added to install applications from injected packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6198).
+- proxmox_kvm - add new ``archive`` parameter. This is needed to create a VM from an archive (backup) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6159).
+- redfish_info - adds commands to retrieve the HPE ThermalConfiguration and FanPercentMinimum settings from iLO (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6208).
+- redhat_subscription - credentials (``username``, ``activationkey``, and so on) are required now only if a system needs to be registered, or ``force_register`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5664).
+- redhat_subscription - the registration is done using the D-Bus ``rhsm`` service instead of spawning a ``subscription-manager register`` command, if possible; this avoids passing plain-text credentials as arguments to ``subscription-manager register``, which can be seen while that command runs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6122).
+- ssh_config - add ``proxyjump`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5970).

Module forced default value of ``bridge.priority`` to nmcli if not set; if ``bridge.stp`` is disabled nmcli ignores it and keep default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3216, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4683).
+- nmcli - fixed idempotency issue when module params is set to ``may_fail4=false`` and ``method4=disabled``; in this case nmcli ignores change and keeps their own default value ``yes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6106).
+- nmcli - implemented changing mtu value on vlan interfaces (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4387).
+- opkg - fixes bug when using ``update_cache=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6004).
+- redhat_subscription, rhsm_release, rhsm_repository - cleanly fail when not running as root, rather than hanging on an interactive ``console-helper`` prompt; they all interact with ``subscription-manager``, which already requires to be run as root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/734, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6211).
+- xenorchestra inventory plugin - fix failure to receive objects from server due to not checking the id of the response (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6227).
+- yarn - fix ``global=true`` to not fail when `executable` wasn't specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6132)
+- yarn - fixes bug where yarn module tasks would fail when warnings were emitted from Yarn. The ``yarn.list`` method was not filtering out warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6127).

+
+v6.3.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix and feature release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- apache2_module - add module argument ``warn_mpm_absent`` to control whether warning are raised in some edge cases (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5793).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - can now retrieve secrets from custom fields (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5694).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - implement filtering results by ``collection_id`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5849).

+- gitlab_project - add ``builds_access_level``, ``container_registry_access_level`` and ``forking_access_level`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5706).
+- gitlab_runner - add new boolean option ``access_level_on_creation``. It controls, whether the value of ``access_level`` is used for runner registration or not. The option ``access_level`` has been ignored on registration so far and was only used on updates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5907, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5908).
+- ilo_redfish_utils module utils - change implementation of DNS Server IP and NTP Server IP update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5804).
+- ipa_group - allow to add and remove external users with the ``external_user`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5897).

+- sudoers - add ``setenv`` parameters to support passing environment variables via sudo. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5883)
+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- ModuleHelper module utils - when the module sets output variables named ``msg``, ``exception``, ``output``, ``vars``, or ``changed``, the actual output will prefix those names with ``_`` (underscore symbol) only when they clash with output variables generated by ModuleHelper itself, which only occurs when handling exceptions. Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release, it was not possible to add such variables to the output `due to a bug <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755>`__ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5765).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- consul - deprecate using parameters unused for ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5772).
+- gitlab_runner - the default of the new option ``access_level_on_creation`` will change from ``false`` to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0. This will cause ``access_level`` to be used during runner registration as well, and not only during updates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5908).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- ModuleHelper - fix bug when adjusting the name of reserved output variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755).
+- alternatives - support subcommands on Fedora 37, which uses ``follower`` instead of ``slave`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5794).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - clarify what to do, if the bitwarden vault is not unlocked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5811).
+- dig lookup plugin - correctly handle DNSKEY record type's ``algorithm`` field (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5914).
+- gem - fix force parameter not being passed to gem command when uninstalling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5822).
+- gem - fix hang due to interactive prompt for confirmation on specific version uninstall (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5751).
+- gitlab_deploy_key - also update ``title`` and not just ``can_push`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5888).
+- keycloak_user_federation - fixes federation creation issue. When a new federation was created and at the same time a default / standard mapper was also changed / updated the creation process failed as a bad None set variable led to a bad malformed url request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5750).
+- keycloak_user_federation - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could fail to properly detect already existing user federations because of a buggy seemingly superflous extra query parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5732).
+- loganalytics callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- logdna callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- logstash callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- nsupdate - fix zone lookup. The SOA record for an existing zone is returned as an answer RR and not as an authority RR (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5817, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5818).
+- proxmox_disk - fixed issue with read timeout on import action (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5803).
+- redfish_utils - removed basic auth HTTP header when performing a GET on the service root resource and when performing a POST to the session collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5886).
+- splunk callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- sumologic callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- syslog_json callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- terraform - fix ``current`` workspace never getting appended to the ``all`` key in the ``workspace_ctf`` object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
+- terraform - fix ``terraform init`` failure when there are multiple workspaces on the remote backend and when ``default`` workspace is missing by setting ``TF_WORKSPACE`` environmental variable to the value of ``workspace`` when used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
+- terraform module - disable ANSI escape sequences during validation phase (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5843).
+- xml - fixed a bug where empty ``children`` list would not be set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5808).

+
+v6.1.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix and feature release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- cmd_runner module utils - ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool()`` can now take an extra parameter to format when value is false (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5647).
+- gconftool2 - refactor using ``ModuleHelper`` and ``CmdRunner`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5545).
+- java_certs - add more detailed error output when extracting certificate from PKCS12 fails (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5550).
+- jenkins_plugin - refactor code to module util to fix sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5565).
+- lxd_project - refactored code out to module utils to clear sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5549).
+- nmap inventory plugin - add new options ``udp_scan``, ``icmp_timestamp``, and ``dns_resolve`` for different types of scans (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5566).
+- rax_scaling_group - refactored out code to the ``rax`` module utils to clear the sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5563).
+- redfish_command - add ``PerformRequestedOperations`` command to perform any operations necessary to continue the update flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
+- redfish_command - add ``update_apply_time`` to ``SimpleUpdate`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3910).
+- redfish_command - add ``update_status`` to output of ``SimpleUpdate`` command to allow a user monitor the update in progress (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
+- redfish_info - add ``GetUpdateStatus`` command to check the progress of a previous update request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
+- redfish_utils module utils - added PUT (``put_request()``) functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5490).
+- slack - add option ``prepend_hash`` which allows to control whether a ``#`` is prepended to ``channel_id``. The current behavior (value ``auto``) is to prepend ``#`` unless some specific prefixes are found. That list of prefixes is incomplete, and there does not seem to exist a documented condition on when exactly ``#`` must not be prepended. We recommend to explicitly set ``prepend_hash=always`` or ``prepend_hash=never`` to avoid any ambiguity (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5629).
+- spotinst_aws_elastigroup - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5553).
+- ssh_config - add ``host_key_algorithms`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5605).

+- udm_user - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5559).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- The ``sap`` modules ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query``, will be removed from this collection in community.general 7.0.0 and replaced with redirects to ``community.sap_libs``. If you want to continue using these modules, make sure to also install ``community.sap_libs`` (it is part of the Ansible package) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5614).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- chroot connection plugin - add ``inventory_hostname`` to vars under ``remote_addr``. This is needed for compatibility with ansible-core 2.13 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5570).
+- cmd_runner module utils - fixed bug when handling default cases in ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538).
+- cmd_runner module utils - formatting arguments ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed()`` was expecting an non-existing argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538).
+- keycloak_client_rolemapping - calculate ``proposed`` and ``after`` return values properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
+- keycloak_client_rolemapping - remove only listed mappings with ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - fix bug while templating when using templates for the ``url``, ``user``, ``password``, ``token_id``, or ``token_secret`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5640).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - handle tags delimited by semicolon instead of comma, which happens from Proxmox 7.3 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5602).
+- redhat_subscription - do not ignore ``consumer_name`` and other variables if ``activationkey`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3486, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5627).
+- redhat_subscription - do not pass arguments to ``subscription-manager register`` for things already configured; now a specified ``rhsm_baseurl`` is properly set for subscription-manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5583).
+- unixy callback plugin - fix plugin to work with ansible-core 2.14 by using Ansible's configuration manager for handling options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5600).
+- vdo - now uses ``yaml.safe_load()`` to parse command output instead of the deprecated ``yaml.load()`` which is potentially unsafe. Using ``yaml.load()`` without explicitely setting a ``Loader=`` is also an error in pyYAML 6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5632).
+- vmadm - fix for index out of range error in ``get_vm_uuid`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5628).
+

+- proxmox_disk - avoid duplicate ``vmid`` reference (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5493).
+
+v6.0.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+New major release of community.general with lots of bugfixes, new features, some removed deprecated features, and some other breaking changes. Please check the coresponding sections of the changelog for more details.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change. Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
+- newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).

+
+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 sanity tests:
+
+```.bash
+# Run sanity tests for all files in the collection:
+ansible-test sanity --docker -v
+
+# Run sanity tests for the given files and directories:
+ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
+```
+
+The following commands show how to run unit tests:
+
+```.bash
+# Run all unit tests:
+ansible-test units --docker -v
+
+# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
+ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8
+
+# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
+ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
+```
+
+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.

+## pre-commit
+
+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`.
