 Release Summary
 ---------------
 
-Alpha release for community.general 5.0.0.
-
-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).
+Regular bugfix and feature release.

 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).

+- 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
 -------------------
 
-- 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).

-- 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).
+- 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).

+
+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).
