+
+v5.8.9
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.16 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6447).
+
+v5.8.8
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- archive - reduce RAM usage by generating CRC32 checksum over chunks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6274).
+- flatpak - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could fail to properly detect already existing Flatpaks because of a parameter witch only checks the installed apps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6289).
+- icinga2_host - fix the data structure sent to Icinga to make use of host templates and template vars (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6286).
+- idrac_redfish_command - allow user to specify ``resource_id`` for ``CreateBiosConfigJob`` to specify an exact manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2090).
+- ini_file - make ``section`` parameter not required so it is possible to pass ``null`` as a value. This only was possible in the past due to a bug in ansible-core that now has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6404).
+- rhsm_release - make ``release`` parameter not required so it is possible to pass ``null`` as a value. This only was possible in the past due to a bug in ansible-core that now has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6401).
+
+v5.8.7
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- archive - avoid deprecated exception class on Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6180).
+- influxdb_user - fix running in check mode when the user does not exist yet (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6111).
+- interfaces_file - fix reading options in lines not starting with a space (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6120).
+- jail 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/6118).
+- memset - fix memset urlerror handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6114).
+- nmcli - fixed idempotency issue for bridge connections. Module forced default value of ``bridge.priority`` to nmcli if not set; if ``bridge.stp`` is disabled nmcli ignores it and keep default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3216, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4683).
+- nmcli - fixed idempotency issue when module params is set to ``may_fail4=false`` and ``method4=disabled``; in this case nmcli ignores change and keeps their own default value ``yes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6106).
+- nmcli - implemented changing mtu value on vlan interfaces (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4387).
+- xenorchestra inventory plugin - fix failure to receive objects from server due to not checking the id of the response (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6227).

+- cloudflare_dns - fixed the idempotency for SRV DNS records (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5972).
+- cloudflare_dns - fixed the possiblity of setting a root-level SRV DNS record (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5972).
+- github_webhook - fix always changed state when no secret is provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5994).
+- keycloak_client - fix accidental replacement of value for attribute ``saml.signing.private.key`` with ``no_log`` in wrong contexts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5934).
+- lxd_* modules, lxd inventory plugin - fix TLS/SSL certificate validation problems by using the correct purpose when creating the TLS context (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5616, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6034).
+- nmcli - fix change handling of values specified as an integer 0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
+- nmcli - fix failure to handle WIFI settings when connection type not specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
+- nmcli - fix improper detection of changes to ``wifi.wake-on-wlan`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
+- nmcli - order is significant for lists of addresses (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6048).

+
+v5.8.5
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- ModuleHelper - fix bug when adjusting the name of reserved output variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755).
+- alternatives - support subcommands on Fedora 37, which uses ``follower`` instead of ``slave`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5794).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - clarify what to do, if the bitwarden vault is not unlocked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5811).
+- dig lookup plugin - correctly handle DNSKEY record type's ``algorithm`` field (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5914).
+- gem - fix hang due to interactive prompt for confirmation on specific version uninstall (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5751).
+- gitlab_deploy_key - also update ``title`` and not just ``can_push`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5888).
+- keycloak_user_federation - fixes federation creation issue. When a new federation was created and at the same time a default / standard mapper was also changed / updated the creation process failed as a bad None set variable led to a bad malformed url request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5750).
+- keycloak_user_federation - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could fail to properly detect already existing user federations because of a buggy seemingly superflous extra query parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5732).
+- loganalytics callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- logdna callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- logstash callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- nsupdate - fix zone lookup. The SOA record for an existing zone is returned as an answer RR and not as an authority RR (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5817, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5818).
+- redfish_utils - removed basic auth HTTP header when performing a GET on the service root resource and when performing a POST to the session collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5886).
+- splunk callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- sumologic callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- syslog_json callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).
+- terraform - fix ``current`` workspace never getting appended to the ``all`` key in the ``workspace_ctf`` object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
+- terraform - fix ``terraform init`` failure when there are multiple workspaces on the remote backend and when ``default`` workspace is missing by setting ``TF_WORKSPACE`` environmental variable to the value of ``workspace`` when used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5735).
+- terraform module - disable ANSI escape sequences during validation phase (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5843).
+- xml - fixed a bug where empty ``children`` list would not be set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5808).
+
+v5.8.4
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- gconftool2 - fix crash that prevents setting a key (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5591, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5687).
+- gitlab_group_variables - fix dropping variables accidentally when GitLab introduced new properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5667).
+- gitlab_project_variables - fix dropping variables accidentally when GitLab introduced new properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5667).
+- lxc_container - fix the arguments of the lxc command which broke the creation and cloning of containers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5578).

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

+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).

+
+v5.8.1
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - improve error messages to include stderr (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5436)
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- Please note that some tools, like the VScode plugin (https://github.com/ansible/vscode-ansible/issues/573), or ``ansible-doc --list --type module``, suggest to replace the correct FQCNs for modules and actions in community.general with internal names that have more than three components. For example, ``community.general.ufw`` is suggested to be replaced by ``community.general.system.ufw``. While these longer names do work, they are considered **internal names** by the collection and are subject to change and be removed at all time. They **will** be removed in community.general 6.0.0 and result in deprecation messages. Avoid using these internal names, and use general three-component FQCNs (``community.general.<name_of_module>``) instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5373).
+

+- nmcli - fix int options idempotence (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4998).
+- nsupdate - fix silent failures when updating ``NS`` entries from Bind9 managed DNS zones (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4657).

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Include ``PSF-license.txt`` file for ``plugins/module_utils/_mount.py``.
+- redfish_command - fix the check if a virtual media is unmounted to just check for ``instered= false`` caused by Supermicro hardware that does not clear the ``ImageName`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4839).
+- redfish_command - the Supermicro Redfish implementation only supports the ``image_url`` parameter in the underlying API calls to ``VirtualMediaInsert`` and ``VirtualMediaEject``.

+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 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).

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

+- 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).
+- urpmi - removed the deprecated alias ``no-recommends`` of ``no_recommends`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4516).
+- urpmi - 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).
+

+- gitlab_group_variable - allow to set same variable name under different environment scopes. Due this change, the return value ``group_variable`` differs from previous version in check mode. It was counting ``updated`` values, because it was accidentally overwriting environment scopes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038).
+- gitlab_group_variable - fix idempotent change behaviour for float and integer variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4038).

+- keycloak - fix parameters types for ``defaultDefaultClientScopes`` and ``defaultOptionalClientScopes`` from list of dictionaries to list of strings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4526).
+- keycloak_* - the documented ``validate_certs`` parameter was not taken into account when calling the ``open_url`` function in some cases, thus enforcing certificate validation even when ``validate_certs`` was set to ``false``. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4382)
+- keycloak_user_federation - creating a user federation while specifying an ID (that does not exist yet) no longer fail with a 404 Not Found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4212).

+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+- 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).

 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!

-## Open pull requests
-
-Please read our ['Contributing to collections'](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_collections_contributing.html#contributing-to-a-collection-community-general) guide.
-
 * 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/projects/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/projects/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 :) )
-* Note that we format the code with `ruff format`. If your change does not match the formatters expectations, CI will fail and your PR will not get merged. See below for how to format code with antsibull-nox.

-## Format code; and run sanity or unit tests locally (with antsibull-nox)
+## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally
 
-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.)
-
-### Format code
-
-The following commands show how to run ruff format:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all configured formatters:
-nox -Re formatters
-
-# If you notice discrepancies between your local formatter and CI, you might
-# need to re-generate the virtual environment:
-nox -e formatters
-```
-
-### Sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run ansible-test sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel -- plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-
-# Run all other sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -R
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, respectively. If you leave `-R` away, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-### Unit tests
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-## Run basic sanity, unit or integration tests locally (with ansible-test)
-
-Instead of using antsibull-nox, you can also run sanity and unit tests with ansible-test directly.
-This also allows you to run integration tests.
-
-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`.

-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/docker
-```
-
 The following commands show how to run integration tests:
 
-#### In Docker
-
-Integration tests on Docker have the following parameters:
-
-- `image_name` (required): The name of the Docker image. To get the list of supported Docker images, run
-  `ansible-test integration --help` and look for _target docker images_.
-- `test_name` (optional): The name of the integration test.
-  For modules, this equals the short name of the module; for example, `pacman` in case of `community.general.pacman`.
-  For plugins, the plugin type is added before the plugin's short name, for example `callback_yaml` for the `community.general.yaml` callback.
-
 ```.bash
-# Test all plugins/modules on fedora40
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40
+# 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
 
-# Template
-ansible-test integration -v --docker image_name test_name
-
-# Example community.general.ini_file module on fedora40 Docker image:
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40 ini_file
-```
-
-#### Without isolation
-
-```.bash
 # 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.
 
-## Devcontainer
-
-Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to
-create a container that is then used during the development cycle. Many tools are pre-installed in the container and will be already available
-to you as a developer. A number of different IDEs support that configuration, the most prominent ones being VSCode and PyCharm.
-
-See the files under [.devcontainer](.devcontainer) for details on what is deployed inside that container.
-
-Beware of:
-
-- By default, the devcontainer installs the latest version of `ansible-core`.
-  When testing your changes locally, keep in mind that the collection must support older versions of
-  `ansible-core` and, depending on what is being tested, results may vary.
-- Integration tests executed directly inside the devcontainer without isolation (see above) may fail if
-  they expected to be run in full fledged VMs. On the other hand, the devcontainer setup allows running
-  containers inside the container (the `docker-in-docker` feature).
-- The devcontainer is built with a directory structure such that
-  `.../ansible_collections/community/general` contains the project repository, so `ansible-test` and
-  other standard tools should work without any additional setup
-- By default, the devcontainer installs `pre-commit` and configures it to perform `ruff check` and
-  `ruff format` on the Python files, prior to commiting. That configuration is going to be used by
-  `git` even outside the devcontainer. To prevent errors, you have to either install `pre-commit` in
-  your computer, outside the devcontainer, or run `pre-commit uninstall` from within the devcontainer
-  before quitting it.

+### FQCNs for modules and actions
+
+⚠️ The collection uses a similar directory structure for modules as the Ansible repository used for Ansible 2.9 and before. This directory structure was never exposed to the user. Due to changes in community.general 5.0.0 (using `meta/runtime.yml` redirects instead of symbolic links) some tooling started exposing the internal module names to end-users. These **internal names**, like `community.general.system.ufw` for the UFW firewall managing module, do work, but should be avoided since they are treated as an implementation detail that can change at any time, even in bugfix releases. Always use the three-component FQCN form, for example `community.general.ufw` for the UFW module. ⚠️
