-
-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).
+- 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).
 
 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).
+- Added MIT license as ``LICENSES/MIT.txt`` for tests/unit/plugins/modules/packaging/language/test_gem.py (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5065).
-- 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).
+- All software licenses are now in the ``LICENSES/`` directory of the collection root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5065, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5079, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5080, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5083, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5087, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5095, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5098, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5106).

+- ModuleHelper module utils - added property ``verbosity`` to base class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5035).
-- 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).
+- ModuleHelper module utils - improved ``ModuleHelperException``, using ``to_native()`` for the exception message (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4755).
-- aix_filesystem - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3833).
+- The collection repository conforms to the `REUSE specification <https://reuse.software/spec/>`__ except for the changelog fragments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5138).
-- aix_lvg - calling ``run_command`` with arguments as ``list`` instead of ``str`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3834).

 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).
+- newrelic_deployment - ``revision`` is required for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
-- 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).
+- scaleway_container_registry_info - no longer replace ``secret_environment_variables`` in the output by ``SENSITIVE_VALUE`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5497).
-- 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).

 -------------------
 
-- ansible_galaxy_install - deprecated support for ``ansible`` 2.9 and ``ansible-base`` 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4601).
+- ArgFormat module utils - deprecated along ``CmdMixin``, in favor of the ``cmd_runner_fmt`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
-- 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).
+- CmdMixin module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
-- 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).
+- CmdModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
-- 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).
+- CmdStateModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
-- module_helper module utils - deprecated the attribute ``ModuleHelper.VarDict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3801).
+- cmd_runner module utils - deprecated ``fmt`` in favour of ``cmd_runner_fmt`` as the parameter format object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4777).
-- 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).
+- django_manage - support for Django releases older than 4.1 has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
-- 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).
+- django_manage - support for the commands ``cleanup``, ``syncdb`` and ``validate`` that have been deprecated in Django long time ago will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
-- 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).
+- django_manage - the behavior of "creating the virtual environment when missing" is being deprecated and will be removed in community.general version 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5405).

+- lxc_container - the module will no longer make any effort to support Python 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5304).
+- newrelic_deployment - ``appname`` and ``environment`` are no longer valid options in the v2 API. They will be removed in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
+- proxmox - deprecated the current ``unprivileged`` default value, will be changed to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0 (https://github.com/pull/5224).
+- xfconf - deprecated parameter ``disable_facts``, as since version 4.0.0 it only allows value ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4520).

-- 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).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - the default of the ``want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host`` option changed from ``true`` to ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5326).

-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).

+4. Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation

-   `plugins/modules/database/aerospike/aerospike_migrations.py`, you need to create the following entry:
-   ```.yaml
-       aerospike_migrations:
-         redirect: community.general.database.aerospike.aerospike_migrations
-   ```
-   Here, the relative path `database/aerospike/` is inserted into the module's FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name) after the
-   collection's name and before the module's name. This must not be done for other plugin types but modules and action plugins!
-
-   - Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
    (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
    than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
