 ===============================
 
 .. contents:: Topics
+
+This changelog describes changes after version 4.0.0.
+
+v5.8.2
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+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).
+- 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).
+
+v5.8.1
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - improve error messages to include stderr (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5436)
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- Please note that some tools, like the VScode plugin (https://github.com/ansible/vscode-ansible/issues/573), or ``ansible-doc --list --type module``, suggest to replace the correct FQCNs for modules and actions in community.general with internal names that have more than three components. For example, ``community.general.ufw`` is suggested to be replaced by ``community.general.system.ufw``. While these longer names do work, they are considered **internal names** by the collection and are subject to change and be removed at all time. They **will** be removed in community.general 6.0.0 and result in deprecation messages. Avoid using these internal names, and use general three-component FQCNs (``community.general.<name_of_module>``) instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5373).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- dependent lookup plugin - avoid warning on deprecated parameter for ``Templar.template()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5543).
+- iso_create - the module somtimes failed to add folders for Joliet and UDF formats (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5275).
+- ldap_attrs - fix bug which caused a ``Bad search filter`` error. The error was occuring when the ldap attribute value contained special characters such as ``(`` or ``*`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5434, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5435).
+- nmcli - fix int options idempotence (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4998).
+- nsupdate - fix silent failures when updating ``NS`` entries from Bind9 managed DNS zones (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4657).
+- one_vm - avoid splitting labels that are ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5489).
+- proxmox_disk - avoid duplicate ``vmid`` reference (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5493).
+- snap - allow values in the ``options`` parameter to contain whitespaces (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5475).

+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).
+- clc_alert_policy - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4556).

+- cobbler inventory plugin - add ``include_profiles`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4068).
+- 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).
+- gitlab - add more token authentication support with the new options ``api_oauth_token`` and ``api_job_token`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/705).
+- gitlab - clean up modules and utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3694).
+- gitlab_group, gitlab_project - add new option ``avatar_path`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3792).
+- gitlab_group_variable - new ``variables`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038 and https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4074).
+- gitlab_project - add new option ``default_branch`` to gitlab_project (if ``readme = true``) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3792).
+- gitlab_project_variable - new ``variables`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4038).
+- hponcfg - revamped module using ModuleHelper (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3840).
+- icinga2 inventory plugin - added the ``display_name`` field to variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3875, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3906).
+- icinga2 inventory plugin - implemented constructed interface (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4088).
+- icinga2 inventory plugin - inventory object names are changable using ``inventory_attr`` in your config file to the host object name, address, or display_name fields (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3875, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3906).
+- ip_netns - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3822).

+
+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).
+- a_module test plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- archive - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- git_config - remove Ansible 2.9 and early ansible-base 2.10 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- java_keystore - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- 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).
+- lists_mergeby filter plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- maven_artifact - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- memcached cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- path_join filter plugin shim - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- redis cache plugin - remove Ansible 2.9 compatibility code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4548).
+- yarn - remove unsupported and unnecessary ``--no-emoji`` flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4662).
+
+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).
+

+- 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).

+- icinga2 inventory plugin - handle 404 error when filter produces no results (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3875, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3906).
+- imc_rest - fixes the module failure due to the usage of ``itertools.izip_longest`` which is not available in Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4206).
+- ini_file - when removing nothing do not report changed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4154).

+- pacman - make sure that ``packages`` is always returned when ``name`` or ``upgrade`` is specified, also if nothing is done (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4329).
+- pacman - when the ``update_cache`` option is combined with another option such as ``upgrade``, report ``changed`` based on the actions performed by the latter option.

Any values set (or the defaults) for ``write_protected`` or ``inserted`` will be ignored (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4596).
+- say callback plugin - replace deprecated ``distutils.spawn.find_executable`` with Ansible's ``get_bin_path`` to find the ``say`` resp. ``espeak`` executables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3934).

+
+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 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.

+### FQCNs for modules and actions
+
+⚠️ The collection uses a similar directory structure for modules as the Ansible repository used for Ansible 2.9 and before. This directory structure was never exposed to the user. Due to changes in community.general 5.0.0 (using `meta/runtime.yml` redirects instead of symbolic links) some tooling started exposing the internal module names to end-users. These **internal names**, like `community.general.system.ufw` for the UFW firewall managing module, do work, but should be avoided since they are treated as an implementation detail that can change at any time, even in bugfix releases. Always use the three-component FQCN form, for example `community.general.ufw` for the UFW module. ⚠️
