+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is release 12.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2025-11-03.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Modernize code for Python 3.7+. This includes code reformatting, and adding new checks to CI, including a type checker (mypy). Most of the code does not have type hints yet, but now it is possible to add typing hints and have these validated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10285, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10886, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10891, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10892, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10897, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10899, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10902, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10903, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10904, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10907, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10908, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10909, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10939, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10940, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10941, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10942, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10945, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10947, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10958, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10959, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10968, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10969, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10970, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10971, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10973, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10974, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10975, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10976, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10977, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10978, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10979, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10980, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10981, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10992, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10993, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10997, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10999, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11015, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11016, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11017).

+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- Ansible-core 2.16 is no longer supported. This also means that the collection now requires Python 3.7+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10884).
+- bearychat - the module has been removed as the chat service is no longer available (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- cmd_runner module utils - the parameter ``ignore_value_none`` to ``CmdRunner.__call__()`` has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- cmd_runner_fmt module utils - the parameter ``ctx_ignore_none`` to argument formatters has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- facter - the module has been replaced by ``community.general.facter_facts`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- mh.deco module utils - the parameters ``on_success`` and ``on_failure`` of ``cause()`` have been removed; use ``when="success"`` and ``when="failure"`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- opkg - the value ``""`` for the option ``force`` is no longer allowed. Omit ``force`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- pacemaker_cluster - the option ``state`` is now required (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- pure module utils - the modules using this module utils have been removed from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- purestorage doc fragment - the modules using this doc fragment have been removed from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+- yaml callback plugin - the deprecated plugin has been removed. Use the default callback with ``result_format=yaml`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- keycloak_user - the parameter ``credentials[].value`` is now marked as ``no_log=true``. Before it was logged by Ansible, unless the task was marked as ``no_log: true``. Since this parameter can be used for passwords, this resulted in credential leaking (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11000, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11005).
+

List parameters (``groups``, ``mac_addresses``) now safely default to empty lists for comparison and avoids ``KeyError`` issues (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10954, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10955).
+- random_string lookup plugin - replace ``random.SystemRandom()`` with ``secrets.SystemRandom()`` when generating strings. This has no practical effect, as both are the same (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10893).
+- rocketchat - fix message delivery in Rocket Chat >= 7.5.3 by forcing ``Content-Type`` header to ``application/json`` instead of the default ``application/x-www-form-urlencoded`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10796, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10796).

+- terraform - fix bug when ``null`` values inside complex vars are throwing error instead of being passed to terraform. Now terraform can handle ``null``s in ``complex_vars`` itself (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10961).
+- wsl connection plugin - avoid deprecated ansible-core paramiko import helper, import paramiko directly instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10515, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10531).

+The easiest way to format the code, and to run sanity and unit tests locally is to use [antsibull-nox](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-nox/).
+(If you have [nox](https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/) installed, it will automatically install antsibull-nox in a virtual environment for you.)

+
+```.bash
+# Run all unit tests:
+nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel
+
+# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
