Fix now checks for an error and raises it to give accurate error message to users \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8047](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8047)\)\.
-* ipa\_hbacrule \- the module uses a string for <code>ipaenabledflag</code> for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7880](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7880)\)\.

-Regular bugfix release\.
-
-<a id="bugfixes-3"></a>
-### Bugfixes
-
-* cargo \- fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages \(using the <code>\-\-path</code> parameter\)\. The initial installation runs fine\, but subsequent runs use the <code>get\_installed\(\)</code> function which did not check the given installation location\, before running <code>cargo install</code>\. This resulted in a false <code>changed</code> state\. Also the removal of packeges using <code>state\: absent</code> failed\, as the installation check did not use the given parameter \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970)\)\.
-* keycloak\_client \- fixes issue when metadata is provided in desired state when task is in check mode \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/1226](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/1226)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7881](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7881)\)\.
-* modprobe \- listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError if <code>/etc/modprobe\.d</code> or <code>/etc/modules\-load\.d</code> did not exist\. Relevant functions now return empty lists if the directories do not exist to avoid crashing the module \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7717](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7717)\)\.
-* onepassword lookup plugin \- failed for fields that were in sections and had uppercase letters in the label/ID\. Field lookups are now case insensitive in all cases \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7919](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7919)\)\.
-* pkgin \- pkgin \(pkgsrc package manager used by SmartOS\) raises erratic exceptions and spurious <code>changed\=true</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7971](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7971)\)\.
-* redfish\_info \- allow for a GET operation invoked by <code>GetUpdateStatus</code> to allow for an empty response body for cases where a service returns 204 No Content \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8003](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8003)\)\.
-* redfish\_info \- correct uncaught exception when attempting to retrieve <code>Chassis</code> information \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7952](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7952)\)\.

-### Bugfixes
-
-* keycloak\_identity\_provider \- <code>mappers</code> processing was not idempotent if the mappers configuration list had not been sorted by name \(in ascending order\)\. Fix resolves the issue by sorting mappers in the desired state using the same key which is used for obtaining existing state \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418)\)\.
-* keycloak\_identity\_provider \- it was not possible to reconfigure \(add\, remove\) <code>mappers</code> once they were created initially\. Removal was ignored\, adding new ones resulted in dropping the pre\-existing unmodified mappers\. Fix resolves the issue by supplying correct input to the internal update call \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7418)\)\.
-* keycloak\_user \- when <code>force</code> is set\, but user does not exist\, do not try to delete it \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7696](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7696)\)\.
-* statusio\_maintenance \- fix error caused by incorrectly formed API data payload\. Was raising \"Failed to create maintenance HTTP Error 400 Bad Request\" caused by bad data type for date/time and deprecated dict keys \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7754](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7754)\)\.

-### Release Summary
-
-Regular bugfix and feature release\.
-
-From this version on\, community\.general is using the new [Ansible semantic markup](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/dev\_guide/developing\_modules\_documenting\.html\#semantic\-markup\-within\-module\-documentation)
-in its documentation\. If you look at documentation with the ansible\-doc CLI tool
-from ansible\-core before 2\.15\, please note that it does not render the markup
-correctly\. You should be still able to read it in most cases\, but you need
-ansible\-core 2\.15 or later to see it as it is intended\. Alternatively you can
-look at [the devel docsite](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/general/)
-for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release\.

-* cpanm \- value <code>compatibility</code> is deprecated as default for parameter <code>mode</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6512](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6512)\)\.
-* redhat module utils \- the <code>module\_utils\.redhat</code> module is deprecated\, as
-  effectively unused\: the <code>Rhsm</code>\, <code>RhsmPool</code>\, and <code>RhsmPools</code> classes
-  will be removed in community\.general 9\.0\.0\; the <code>RegistrationBase</code> class
-  will be removed in community\.general 10\.0\.0 together with the
-  <code>rhn\_register</code> module\, as it is the only user of this class\; this means
-  that the whole <code>module\_utils\.redhat</code> module will be dropped in
-  community\.general 10\.0\.0\, so importing it without even using anything of it
-  will fail
-  \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6663](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6663)\)\.

-  \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6650](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6650)\)\.
-* rhsm\_repository \- <code>state\=present</code> has not been working as expected for many years\,
-  and it seems it was not noticed so far\; also\, \"presence\" is not really a valid concept
-  for subscription repositories\, which can only be enabled or disabled\. Hence\, mark the
-  <code>present</code> and <code>absent</code> values of the <code>state</code> option as deprecated\, slating them
-  for removal in community\.general 10\.0\.0
-  \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6673](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6673)\)\.

The current behavior \(value <code>auto</code>\) is to prepend <code>\#</code> 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 <code>\#</code> must not be prepended\. We recommend to explicitly set <code>prepend\_hash\=always</code> or <code>prepend\_hash\=never</code> to avoid any ambiguity \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5629](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5629)\)\.

-### Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
-
-* If you are not using this collection as part of Ansible\, but installed \(and/or upgraded\) community\.general manually\, you need to make sure to also install <code>community\.sap\_libs</code> if you are using any of the <code>sapcar\_extract</code>\, <code>sap\_task\_list\_execute</code>\, and <code>hana\_query</code> modules\.
-  Without that collection installed\, the redirects for these modules do not work\.
-* ModuleHelper module utils \- when the module sets output variables named <code>msg</code>\, <code>exception</code>\, <code>output</code>\, <code>vars</code>\, or <code>changed</code>\, the actual output will prefix those names with <code>\_</code> \(underscore symbol\) 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) \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5765](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5765)\)\.
-* gconftool2 \- fix processing of <code>gconftool\-2</code> when <code>key</code> does not exist\, returning <code>null</code> instead of empty string for both <code>value</code> and <code>previous\_value</code> return values \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6028](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6028)\)\.
-* gitlab\_runner \- the default of <code>access\_level\_on\_creation</code> changed from <code>false</code> to <code>true</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6428](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6428)\)\.
-* ldap\_search \- convert all string\-like values to UTF\-8 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5704](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5704)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6473](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/6473)\)\.

-    Is a boolean, default to ``false``. Should the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` filter recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
