-Combine coverage data from multiple jobs, keeping the data only from the most recent attempt from each job.
-Coverage artifacts must be named using the format: "Coverage $(System.JobAttempt) {StableUniqueNameForEachJob}"
-The recommended coverage artifact name format is: Coverage $(System.JobAttempt) $(System.StageDisplayName) $(System.JobDisplayName)
-Keep in mind that Azure Pipelines does not enforce unique job display names (only names).
-It is up to pipeline authors to avoid name collisions when deviating from the recommended format.

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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7970)\)\.

- proxmox - add ``disk_volume`` and ``mount_volumes`` keys for better readability (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8542).
- proxmox - translate the old ``disk`` and ``mounts`` keys to the new handling internally (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8542).
- proxmox_template - small refactor in logic for determining whether a template exists or not (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8516).

 Release Summary
 ---------------

-Regular feature and bugfix release.
+This is the first proper release of the ``community.general`` collection on 2020-06-20.
+The changelog describes all changes made to the modules and plugins included in this
+collection since Ansible 2.9.0.
+
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- docker_container - the ``network_mode`` option will be set by default to the name of the first network in ``networks`` if at least one network is given and ``networks_cli_compatible`` is ``true`` (will be default from community.general 2.0.0 on). Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings if you specify networks and set ``networks_cli_compatible`` to ``true``. The current default (not specifying it) is equivalent to the value ``default``.
+- docker_container - the module has a new option, ``container_default_behavior``, whose default value will change from ``compatibility`` to ``no_defaults``. Set to an explicit value to avoid deprecation warnings.
+- gitlab_user - no longer requires ``name``, ``email`` and ``password`` arguments when ``state=absent``.
+- zabbix_action - no longer requires ``esc_period`` and ``event_source`` arguments when ``state=absent``.

-v9.0.0
-======
-
-Release Summary
---------------
-
-This is release 9.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2024-05-20.
-
-Minor Changes
-------------
-
- PythonRunner module utils - specialisation of ``CmdRunner`` to execute Python scripts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8289).
- Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
- aix_lvol - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value ``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).
- apt_rpm - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add ``bw_session`` option, to pass session key instead of reading from env (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7994).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - allows to fetch all records of a given collection ID, by allowing to pass an empty value for ``search_value`` when ``collection_id`` is provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8013).
- bitwarden lookup plugin - when looking for items using an item ID, the item is now accessed directly with ``bw get item`` instead of searching through all items. This doubles the lookup speed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7468).
- btrfs_subvolume - refactor module to pass list of arguments to ``module.run_command()`` instead of relying on interpretation by a shell (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8264).
- cmd_runner module_utils - add validation for minimum and maximum length in the value passed to ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8288).
- consul_auth_method, consul_binding_rule, consul_policy, consul_role, consul_session, consul_token - added action group ``community.general.consul`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7897).
- consul_policy - added support for diff and check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).

- consul_role - ``node_identities`` now expects a ``node_name`` option to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - ``service_identities`` now expects a ``service_name`` option to match the Consul API, the old ``name`` is still supported as alias (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for diff mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).
- consul_role - added support for templated policies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7878).

+- docker_container - only passes anonymous volumes to docker daemon as ``Volumes``. This increases compatibility with the ``docker`` CLI program. Note that if you specify ``volumes: strict`` in ``comparisons``, this could cause existing containers created with docker_container from Ansible 2.9 or earlier to restart.
+- docker_container - support for port ranges was adjusted to be more compatible to the ``docker`` command line utility: a one-port container range combined with a multiple-port host range will no longer result in only the first host port be used, but the whole range being passed to Docker so that a free port in that range will be used.

+- hashi_vault - ``secret`` can now be an unnamed argument if it's specified first in the term string (see examples).
+- hashi_vault - ``token`` is now an explicit option (and the default) in the choices for ``auth_method``. This matches previous behavior (``auth_method`` omitted resulted in token auth) but makes the value clearer and allows it to be explicitly specified.
+- hashi_vault - new option ``return_format`` added to control how secrets are returned, including options for multiple secrets and returning raw values with metadata.
+- hashi_vault - previous (undocumented) behavior was to attempt to read token from ``~/.vault-token`` if not specified. This is now controlled through ``token_path`` and ``token_file`` options (defaults will mimic previous behavior).
+- hashi_vault - previously all options had to be supplied via key=value pairs in the term string; now a mix of string and parameters can be specified (see examples).

 Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
 --------------------------------

- cpanm - the default of the ``mode`` option changed from ``compatibility`` to ``new`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- django_manage - the module now requires Django >= 4.1 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- django_manage - the module will now fail if ``virtualenv`` is specified but no virtual environment exists at that location (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- redfish_command, redfish_config, redfish_info - change the default for ``timeout`` from 10 to 60 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
+- The environment variable for the auth context for the oc.py connection plugin has been corrected (K8S_CONTEXT).  It was using an initial lowercase k by mistake. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/377).
+- bigpanda - the parameter ``message`` was renamed to ``deployment_message`` since ``message`` is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
+- cisco_spark - the module option ``message`` was renamed to ``msg``, as ``message`` is used internally in Ansible Core engine (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39295)
+- datadog - the parameter ``message`` was renamed to ``notification_message`` since ``message`` is used by Ansible Core engine internally.
+- docker_container - no longer passes information on non-anonymous volumes or binds as ``Volumes`` to the Docker daemon. This increases compatibility with the ``docker`` CLI program. Note that if you specify ``volumes: strict`` in ``comparisons``, this could cause existing containers created with docker_container from Ansible 2.9 or earlier to restart.
+- docker_container - support for port ranges was adjusted to be more compatible to the ``docker`` command line utility: a one-port container range combined with a multiple-port host range will no longer result in only the first host port be used, but the whole range being passed to Docker so that a free port in that range will be used.
+- hashi_vault lookup - now returns the latest version when using the KV v2 secrets engine. Previously, it returned all versions of the secret which required additional steps to extract and filter the desired version.

 Deprecated Features
 -------------------

- MH DependencyCtxMgr module_utils - deprecate ``module_utils.mh.mixin.deps.DependencyCtxMgr`` in favour of ``module_utils.deps`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.AnsibleModule`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.DependencyCtxMgr`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.StateMixin`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarDict,`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarMeta`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate ``plugins.module_utils.module_helper.VarsMixin`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8280).
- ModuleHelper module_utils - deprecate use of ``VarsMixin`` in favor of using the ``VardDict`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
- ModuleHelper vars module_utils - bump deprecation of ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict`` and ``VarsMixin`` to version 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8226).
- apt_rpm - the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` is deprecated and will change in community.general 11.0.0. Right now the module will upgrade a package to the latest version if one of these two states is used. You should explicitly use ``state=latest`` if you want this behavior, and switch to ``state=present_not_latest`` if you do not want to upgrade the package if it is already installed. In community.general 11.0.0 the behavior of ``state=present`` and ``state=installed`` will change to that of ``state=present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8285).
- consul_acl - the module has been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0. ``consul_token`` and ``consul_policy`` can be used instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7901).
- django_manage - the ``ack_venv_creation_deprecation`` option has no more effect and will be removed from community.general 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- gitlab modules - the basic auth method on GitLab API have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8383).
- hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
- irc - the defaults ``false`` for ``use_tls`` and ``validate_certs`` have been deprecated and will change to ``true`` in community.general 10.0.0 to improve security. You can already improve security now by explicitly setting them to ``true``. Specifying values now disables the deprecation warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7578).
+- airbrake_deployment - Add deprecation notice for ``token`` parameter and v2 api deploys. This feature will be removed in community.general 3.0.0.
+- clc_aa_policy - The ``wait`` option had no effect and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0.
+- clc_aa_policy - the ``wait`` parameter will be removed. It has always been ignored by the module.
+- docker_container - the ``trust_image_content`` option is now deprecated and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0. It has never been used by the module.
+- docker_container - the ``trust_image_content`` option will be removed. It has always been ignored by the module.
+- docker_container - the default of ``container_default_behavior`` will change from ``compatibility`` to ``no_defaults`` in community.general 3.0.0. Set the option to an explicit value to avoid a deprecation warning.
+- docker_container - the default value for ``network_mode`` will change in community.general 3.0.0, provided at least one network is specified and ``networks_cli_compatible`` is ``true``. See porting guide, module documentation or deprecation warning for more details.
+- docker_stack - Return values ``out`` and ``err`` have been deprecated and will be removed in community.general 3.0.0. Use ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` instead.
+- docker_stack - the return values ``err`` and ``out`` have been deprecated. Use ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` from now on instead.
+- helm - Put ``helm`` module to deprecated. New implementation is available in community.kubernetes collection.
+- redfish_config - Deprecate ``bios_attribute_name`` and ``bios_attribute_value`` in favor of new `bios_attributes`` option.
+- redfish_config - the ``bios_attribute_name`` and ``bios_attribute_value`` options will be removed. To maintain the existing behavior use the ``bios_attributes`` option instead.
+- redfish_config and redfish_command - the behavior to select the first System, Manager, or Chassis resource to modify when multiple are present will be removed. Use the new ``resource_id`` option to specify target resource to modify.
+- redfish_config, redfish_command - Behavior to modify the first System, Mananger, or Chassis resource when multiple are present is deprecated. Use the new ``resource_id`` option to specify target resource to modify.
+- zabbix_proxy - deprecates ``interface`` sub-options ``type`` and ``main`` when proxy type is set to passive via ``status=passive``. Make sure these suboptions are removed from your playbook as they were never supported by Zabbix in the first place.

 Removed Features (previously deprecated)
 ----------------------------------------

- The deprecated redirects for internal module names have been removed. These internal redirects were extra-long FQCNs like ``community.general.packaging.os.apt_rpm`` that redirect to the short FQCN ``community.general.apt_rpm``. They were originally needed to implement flatmapping; as various tooling started to recommend users to use the long names flatmapping was removed from the collection and redirects were added for users who already followed these incorrect recommendations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7835).
- ansible_galaxy_install - the ``ack_ansible29`` and ``ack_min_ansiblecore211`` options have been removed. They no longer had any effect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- cloudflare_dns - remove support for SPF records. These are no longer supported by CloudFlare (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7782).
- django_manage - support for the ``command`` values ``cleanup``, ``syncdb``, and ``validate`` were removed. Use ``clearsessions``, ``migrate``, and ``check`` instead, respectively (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- flowdock - this module relied on HTTPS APIs that do not exist anymore and was thus removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).
- mh.mixins.deps module utils - the ``DependencyMixin`` has been removed. Use the ``deps`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8198).

 Security Fixes
 --------------

- cobbler, gitlab_runners, icinga2, linode, lxd, nmap, online, opennebula, proxmox, scaleway, stackpath_compute, virtualbox, and xen_orchestra inventory plugin - make sure all data received from the remote servers is marked as unsafe, so remote code execution by obtaining texts that can be evaluated as templates is not possible (https://www.die-welt.net/2024/03/remote-code-execution-in-ansible-dynamic-inventory-plugins/, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8098).
- keycloak_identity_provider - the client secret was not correctly sanitized by the module. The return values ``proposed``, ``existing``, and ``end_state``, as well as the diff, did contain the client secret unmasked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8355).
+- **SECURITY** - CVE-2019-14904 - solaris_zone module accepts zone name and performs actions related to that. However, there is no user input validation done while performing actions. A malicious user could provide a crafted zone name which allows executing commands into the server manipulating the module behaviour. Adding user input validation as per Solaris Zone documentation fixes this issue.
+- **security issue** - Ansible: Splunk and Sumologic callback plugins leak sensitive data in logs (CVE-2019-14864)
+- ldap_attr, ldap_entry - The ``params`` option has been removed in Ansible-2.10 as it circumvents Ansible's option handling.  Setting ``bind_pw`` with the ``params`` option was disallowed in Ansible-2.7, 2.8, and 2.9 as it was insecure.  For information about this policy, see the discussion at: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/ansible-meeting/2017-09-28/ansible_dev_meeting.2017-09-28-15.00.log.html This fixes CVE-2020-1746

 Bugfixes
 --------

- aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
- aix_filesystem - fix issue with empty list items in crfs logic and option order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8052).
- apt-rpm - the module did not upgrade packages if a newer version exists. Now the package will be reinstalled if the candidate is newer than the installed version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7414).
- apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get -y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
- bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
- cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs fine, but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did not check the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``. This resulted in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges using ``state: absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the given parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7970).
- cloudflare_dns - fix Cloudflare lookup of SHFP records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7652).

- gitlab_user - fix gitlab constants call in ``gitlab_user`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7467).
- haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
- homebrew - detect already installed formulae and casks using JSON output from ``brew info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/864).
- homebrew - error returned from brew command was ignored and tried to parse empty JSON. 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).
- incus connection plugin - treats ``inventory_hostname`` as a variable instead of a literal in remote connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7874).
- interface_files - also consider ``address_family`` when changing ``option=method`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7610, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7612).
- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
- ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
- ipa_hbacrule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- ipa_otptoken - the module expect ``ipatokendisabled`` as string but the ``ipatokendisabled`` value is returned as a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7795).
- ipa_sudorule - the module uses a string for ``ipaenabledflag`` for new FreeIPA versions while the returned value is a boolean (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7880).
- iptables_state - fix idempotency issues when restoring incomplete iptables dumps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8029).

- keycloak_* - fix Keycloak API client to quote ``/`` properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7641).
- keycloak_authz_permission - resource payload variable for scope-based permission was constructed as a string, when it needs to be a list, even for a single item (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7151).
- keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes`` to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
- 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/pull/7881).
- keycloak_identity_provider - ``mappers`` 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).
- keycloak_identity_provider - it was not possible to reconfigure (add, remove) ``mappers`` 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).
- keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).

- keycloak_user_federation - fix diff of empty ``krbPrincipalAttribute`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8320).
- ldap - previously the order number (if present) was expected to follow an equals sign in the DN. This makes it so the order number string is identified correctly anywhere within the DN (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7646).
- linode inventory plugin - add descriptive error message for linode inventory plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8133).

- merge_variables lookup plugin - fixing cross host merge: providing access to foreign hosts variables to the perspective of the host that is performing the merge (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8303).
- modprobe - listing modules files or modprobe files could trigger a FileNotFoundError if ``/etc/modprobe.d`` or ``/etc/modules-load.d`` 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).
- mssql_script - make the module work with Python 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7818, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7821).

- onepassword lookup plugin - field and section titles are now case insensitive when using op CLI version two or later. This matches the behavior of version one (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7564).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - close spans always (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8367).
- opentelemetry callback plugin - honour the ``disable_logs`` option to avoid storing task results since they are not used regardless (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8373).
- pacemaker_cluster - actually implement check mode, which the module claims to support. This means that until now the module also did changes in check mode (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8081).

- proxmox_pool_member - absent state for type VM did not delete VMs from the pools (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7464).
- puppet - add option ``environment_lang`` to set the environment language encoding. Defaults to lang ``C``. It is recommended to set it to ``C.UTF-8`` or ``en_US.UTF-8`` depending on what is available on your system. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8000)
- redfish_command - fix usage of message parsing in ``SimpleUpdate`` and ``MultipartHTTPPushUpdate`` commands to treat the lack of a ``MessageId`` as no message (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7465, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7471).

-# Contributing
-
-We follow [Ansible Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html) in all our contributions and interactions within this repository.
-
-If you are a committer, also refer to the [collection's committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/commit-rights.md).
-
-## Issue tracker
-
-Whether you are looking for an opportunity to contribute or you found a bug and already know how to solve it, please go to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues).
-There you can find feature ideas to implement, reports about bugs to solve, or submit an issue to discuss your idea before implementing it which can help choose a right direction at the beginning of your work and potentially save a lot of time and effort.
-Also somebody may already have started discussing or working on implementing the same or a similar idea,
-so you can cooperate to create a better solution together.
-
-* If you are interested in starting with an easy issue, look for [issues with an `easyfix` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/easyfix).
-* Often issues that are waiting for contributors to pick up have [the `waiting_on_contributor` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/waiting_on_contributor).
-
-## Open pull requests
-
-Look through currently [open pull requests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pulls).
-You can help by reviewing them. Reviews help move pull requests to merge state. Some good pull requests cannot be merged only due to a lack of reviews. And it is always worth saying that good reviews are often more valuable than pull requests themselves.
-Note that reviewing does not only mean code review, but also offering comments on new interfaces added to existing plugins/modules, interfaces of new plugins/modules, improving language (not everyone is a native english speaker), or testing bugfixes and new features!
-
-Also, consider taking up a valuable, reviewed, but abandoned pull request which you could politely ask the original authors to complete yourself.
-
-* Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
-* Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
-* Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged. To avoid that git automatically does merges during pulls, you can configure it to do rebases instead by running `git config pull.rebase true` inside the repository checkout.
-* Make sure your PR includes a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_development_process.html#creating-a-changelog-fragment).
-  * You must not include a fragment for new modules or new plugins. Also you shouldn't include one for docs-only changes. (If you're not sure, simply don't include one, we'll tell you whether one is needed or not :) )
-  * Please always include a link to the pull request itself, and if the PR is about an issue, also a link to the issue. Also make sure the fragment ends with a period, and begins with a lower-case letter after `-`. (Again, if you don't do this, we'll add suggestions to fix it, so don't worry too much :) )
-* Avoid reformatting unrelated parts of the codebase in your PR. These types of changes will likely be requested for reversion, create additional work for reviewers, and may cause approval to be delayed.
-
-You can also read [our Quick-start development guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/create_pr_quick_start_guide.rst).
-
-## Test pull requests
-
-If you want to test a PR locally, refer to [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how do it quickly.
-
-If you find any inconsistencies or places in this document which can be improved, feel free to raise an issue or pull request to fix it.
-
-## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally
-
-You have to check out the repository into a specific path structure to be able to run `ansible-test`. The path to the git checkout must end with `.../ansible_collections/community/general`. Please see [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how to check out the repository into a correct path structure. The short version of these instructions is:
-
-```.bash
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/community
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-cd ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-```
-
-Then you can run `ansible-test` (which is a part of [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/)) inside the checkout. The following example commands expect that you have installed Docker or Podman. Note that Podman has only been supported by more recent ansible-core releases. If you are using Docker, the following will work with Ansible 2.9+.
-
-The following commands show how to run sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v
-
-# Run sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-ansible-test units --docker -v
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run integration tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run integration tests for the interfaces_files module in a Docker container using the
-# fedora35 operating system image (the supported images depend on your ansible-core version):
-ansible-test integration --docker fedora35 -v interfaces_file
-
-# Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
-ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened
-```
-
-If you are unsure about the integration test target name for a module or plugin, you can take a look in `tests/integration/targets/`. Tests for plugins have the plugin type prepended.
-
-## Creating new modules or plugins
-
-Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
-
-1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
-   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
-
-2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
-   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
-   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding ``_info`` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
-   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.
-
-3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:
-
-   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
-   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
-     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
-   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
-     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
-   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
-     which run in CI.
-
-4. 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/`.
-
-5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
-   same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
-   listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.
-
-   When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.

-## Using this collection
-
-This collection is shipped with the Ansible package. So if you have it installed, no more action is required.
-
-If you have a minimal installation (only Ansible Core installed) or you want to use the latest version of the collection along with the whole Ansible package, you need to install the collection from [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/community/general/) manually with the `ansible-galaxy` command-line tool:
+Before using the General community collection, you need to install the collection with the `ansible-galaxy` CLI:

-Committers Guidelines for community.general
-===========================================
-
-This document is based on the [Ansible committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/b57444af14062ec96e0af75fdfc2098c74fe2d9a/docs/docsite/rst/community/committer_guidelines.rst) ([latest version](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/committer_guidelines.html)).
-
-These are the guidelines for people with commit privileges on the Ansible Community General Collection GitHub repository. Please read the guidelines before you commit.
-
-These guidelines apply to everyone. At the same time, this is NOT a process document. So just use good judgment. You have been given commit access because we trust your judgment.
-
-That said, use the trust wisely.
-
-If you abuse the trust and break components and builds, and so on, the trust level falls and you may be asked not to commit or you may lose your commit privileges.
-
-Our workflow on GitHub
----------------------
-
-As a committer, you may already know this, but our workflow forms a lot of our team policies. Please ensure you are aware of the following workflow steps:
-
-* Fork the repository upon which you want to do some work to your own personal repository
-* Work on the specific branch upon which you need to commit
-* Create a Pull Request back to the collection repository and await reviews
-* Adjust code as necessary based on the Comments provided
-* Ask someone from the other committers to do a final review and merge
-
-Sometimes, committers merge their own pull requests. This section is a set of guidelines. If you are changing a comma in a doc or making a very minor change, you can use your best judgement. This is another trust thing. The process is critical for any major change, but for little things or getting something done quickly, use your best judgement and make sure people on the team are aware of your work.
-
-Roles
-----
-* Release managers: Merge pull requests to `stable-X` branches, create tags to do releases.
-* Committers: Fine to do PRs for most things, but we should have a timebox. Hanging PRs may merge on the judgement of these devs.
-* Module maintainers: Module maintainers own specific modules and have indirect commit access through the current module PR mechanisms. This is primary [ansibullbot](https://github.com/ansibullbot)'s `shipit` mechanism.
-
-General rules
-------------
-Individuals with direct commit access to this collection repository are entrusted with powers that allow them to do a broad variety of things--probably more than we can write down. Rather than rules, treat these as general *guidelines*, individuals with this power are expected to use their best judgement.
-
-* Do NOTs:
-
-  - Do not commit directly.
-  - Do not merge your own PRs. Someone else should have a chance to review and approve the PR merge. You have a small amount of leeway here for very minor changes.
-  - Do not forget about non-standard / alternate environments. Consider the alternatives. Yes, people have bad/unusual/strange environments (like binaries from multiple init systems installed), but they are the ones who need us the most.
-  - Do not drag your community team members down. Discuss the technical merits of any pull requests you review. Avoid negativity and personal comments. For more guidance on being a good community member, read the [Ansible Community Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html).
-  - Do not forget about the maintenance burden. High-maintenance features may not be worth adding.
-  - Do not break playbooks. Always keep backwards compatibility in mind.
-  - Do not forget to keep it simple. Complexity breeds all kinds of problems.
-  - Do not merge to branches other than `main`, especially not to `stable-X`, if you do not have explicit permission to do so.
-  - Do not create tags. Tags are used in the release process, and should only be created by the people responsible for managing the stable branches.
-
-* Do:
-
-  - Squash, avoid merges whenever possible, use GitHub's squash commits or cherry pick if needed (bisect thanks you).
-  - Be active. Committers who have no activity on the project (through merges, triage, commits, and so on) will have their permissions suspended.
-  - Consider backwards compatibility (goes back to "do not break existing playbooks").
-  - Write tests. PRs with tests are looked at with more priority than PRs without tests that should have them included. While not all changes require tests, be sure to add them for bug fixes or functionality changes.
-  - Discuss with other committers, specially when you are unsure of something.
-  - Document! If your PR is a new feature or a change to behavior, make sure you've updated all associated documentation or have notified the right people to do so.
-  - Consider scope, sometimes a fix can be generalized.
-  - Keep it simple, then things are maintainable, debuggable and intelligible.
-
-Committers are expected to continue to follow the same community and contribution guidelines followed by the rest of the Ansible community.
-
-
-People
------
-
-Individuals who have been asked to become a part of this group have generally been contributing in significant ways to the community.general collection for some time. Should they agree, they are requested to add their names and GitHub IDs to this file, in the section below, through a pull request. Doing so indicates that these individuals agree to act in the ways that their fellow committers trust that they will act.

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

-Merging lists of dictionaries
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby <community.general.lists_mergeby#filter>` filter.
-
-.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See the documentation for the :ansplugin:`community.general.yaml callback plugin <community.general.yaml#callback>`.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml') | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n')  | indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[0:2] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') | indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-{% for i in examples[2:6] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') | indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-The filter also accepts two optional parameters: :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive` and :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
-
-**recursive**
-    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``.
-
-**list_merge**
-    Is a string, its possible values are :ansval:`replace` (default), :ansval:`keep`, :ansval:`append`, :ansval:`prepend`, :ansval:`append_rp` or :ansval:`prepend_rp`. It modifies the behaviour of :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
-
-The examples below set :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive=true` and display the differences among all six options of :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.combine#filter`. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-recursive-true.yml') | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') |indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[6:] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') |indent(2) }}
-

-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in

-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml

-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this

-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh

-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.
