-Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------
-
- collection_version lookup plugin - remove compatibility code for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- gitlab_project - add ``default_branch`` support for project update. If you used the module so far with ``default_branch`` to update a project, the value of ``default_branch`` was ignored. Make sure that you either do not pass a value if you are not sure whether it is the one you want to have to avoid unexpected breaking changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7158).
- selective callback plugin - remove compatibility code for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-core 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
- vardict module utils - ``VarDict`` will no longer accept variables named ``_var``, ``get_meta``, and ``as_dict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6647).
- version module util - remove fallback for ansible-core 2.11. All modules and plugins that do version collections no longer work with ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269).
-
-Deprecated Features
-------------------
-
- CmdRunner module utils - deprecate ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_default_type()`` formatter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6601).
- MH VarsMixin module utils - deprecates ``VarsMixin`` and supporting classes in favor of plain ``vardict`` module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6649).
- ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211`` options have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- consul - the ``ack_params_state_absent`` option has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7358).
- cpanm - value ``compatibility`` is deprecated as default for parameter ``mode`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6512).
- ejabberd_user - deprecate the parameter ``logging`` in favour of producing more detailed information in the module output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7043).
- flowdock - module relies entirely on no longer responsive API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6930).
- proxmox - old feature flag ``proxmox_default_behavior`` will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6836).
- proxmox_kvm - deprecate the option ``proxmox_default_behavior`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7377).
- redfish_info, redfish_config, redfish_command - the default value ``10`` for the ``timeout`` option is deprecated and will change to ``60`` in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7295).
- redhat module utils - the ``module_utils.redhat`` module is deprecated, as
-  effectively unused: the ``Rhsm``, ``RhsmPool``, and ``RhsmPools`` classes
-  will be removed in community.general 9.0.0; the ``RegistrationBase`` class
-  will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 together with the
-  ``rhn_register`` module, as it is the only user of this class; this means
-  that the whole ``module_utils.redhat`` 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).
- redhat_subscription - the ``autosubscribe`` alias for the ``auto_attach`` option has been
-  deprecated for many years, although only in the documentation. Officially mark this alias
-  as deprecated, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6646).
- redhat_subscription - the ``pool`` option is deprecated in favour of the
-  more precise and flexible ``pool_ids`` option
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6650).
- rhsm_repository - ``state=present`` 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
-  ``present`` and ``absent`` values of the ``state`` option as deprecated, slating them
-  for removal in community.general 10.0.0
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6673).
- stackdriver - module relies entirely on no longer existent API endpoints, and it will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6887).

+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).
+- clc_group - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4556).
+- clc_loadbalancer - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4556).
+- clc_server - minor refactoring (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4556).
+- cmd_runner module util - reusable command runner with consistent argument formatting and sensible defaults (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4476).
+- 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).

+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).
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)

+- 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).

 Known Issues
 ------------

- Ansible markup will show up in raw form on ansible-doc text output for ansible-core before 2.15. If you have trouble deciphering the documentation markup, please upgrade to ansible-core 2.15 (or newer), or read the HTML documentation on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/general/ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6539).
+- 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).

+## pre-commit
+
+To help ensure high-quality contributions this repository includes a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) configuration which
+corrects and tests against common issues that would otherwise cause CI to fail. To begin using these pre-commit hooks see
+the [Installation](#installation) section below.
+
+This is optional and not required to contribute to this repository.
+
+### Installation
+
+Follow the [instructions](https://pre-commit.com/#install) provided with pre-commit and run `pre-commit install` under the repository base. If for any reason you would like to disable the pre-commit hooks run `pre-commit uninstall`.
+
+This is optional to run it locally.
+
+You can trigger it locally with `pre-commit run --all-files` or even to run only for a given file `pre-commit run --files YOUR_FILE`.

 Grouping
 ^^^^^^^^

-If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.groupby_as_dict filter <community.general.groupby_as_dict#filter>` to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
+If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the ``community.general.groupby_as_dict`` filter to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.

 One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
