+v6.0.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+New major release of community.general with lots of bugfixes, new features, some removed deprecated features, and some other breaking changes. Please check the coresponding sections of the changelog for more details.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change. Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
+- newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+

+- All software licenses are now in the ``LICENSES/`` directory of the collection root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5065, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5079, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5080, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5083, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5087, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5095, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5098, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5106).
+- ModuleHelper module utils - added property ``verbosity`` to base class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5035).
+- ModuleHelper module utils - improved ``ModuleHelperException``, using ``to_native()`` for the exception message (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4755).

-## 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.

+      - ldap_attrs - fix bug which caused a ``Bad search filter`` error. The error

+    changes:
+      breaking_changes:
+      - newrelic_deployment - ``revision`` is required for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
+      bugfixes:
+      - Include ``PSF-license.txt`` file for ``plugins/module_utils/_mount.py``.
+      - Include ``simplified_bsd.txt`` license file for various module utils, the
+        ``lxca_common`` docs fragment, and the ``utm_utils`` unit tests.
+      - alternatives - do not set the priority if the priority was not set by the
+        user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4810).
+      - alternatives - only pass subcommands when they are specified as module arguments
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4803, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4804,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4836).
+      - alternatives - when ``subcommands`` is specified, ``link`` must be given for
+        every subcommand. This was already mentioned in the documentation, but not
+        enforced by the code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4836).
+      - apache2_mod_proxy - avoid crash when reporting inability to parse balancer_member_page
+        HTML caused by using an undefined variable in the error message (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5111).

+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5393).
+      - cmd_runner module utils - fix bug caused by using the ``command`` variable
+        instead of ``self.command`` when looking for binary path (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4903).
+      - consul - fixed bug introduced in PR 4590 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4680).
+      - credstash lookup plugin - pass plugin options to credstash for all terms,
+        not just for the first (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5440).
+      - dig lookup plugin - add option to return empty result without empty strings,
+        and return empty list instead of ``NXDOMAIN`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5439,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5428).
+      - dig lookup plugin - fix evaluation of falsy values for boolean parameters
+        ``fail_on_error`` and ``retry_servfail`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5129).
+      - dnsimple_info - correctly report missing library as ``requests`` and not ``another_library``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5111).
+      - dnstxt lookup plugin - add option to return empty result without empty strings,
+        and return empty list instead of ``NXDOMAIN`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5457,

+      - dsv lookup plugin - do not ignore the ``tld`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4911).
+      - filesystem - handle ``fatresize --info`` output lines without ``:`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4700).
+      - filesystem - improve error messages when output cannot be parsed by including
+        newlines in escaped form (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4700).
+      - funcd connection plugin - fix signature of ``exec_command`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5111).
+      - ini_file - minor refactor fixing a python lint error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5307).
+      - keycloak_realm - fix default groups and roles (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4241).
+      - keyring_info - fix the result from the keyring library never getting returned
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4964).

+        values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/977,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5385).
+      - listen_ports_facts - removed leftover ``EnvironmentError`` . The ``else``
+        clause had a wrong indentation. The check is now handled in the ``split_pid_name``
+        function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5202).
+      - locale_gen - fix support for Ubuntu (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5281).
+      - lxc_container - the module has been updated to support Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5304).
+      - lxd connection plugin - fix incorrect ``inventory_hostname`` in ``remote_addr``.
+        This is needed for compatibility with ansible-core 2.13 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4886).
+      - manageiq_alert_profiles - avoid crash when reporting unknown profile caused
+        by trying to return an undefined variable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5111).
+      - nmcli - avoid changed status for most cases with VPN connections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5126).
+      - nmcli - fix error caused by adding undefined module arguments for list options

+      - 'nmcli - fix error when setting previously unset MAC address, ``gsm.apn``
+        or ``vpn.data``: current values were being normalized without checking if
+        they might be ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5291).'
+      - nmcli - fix int options idempotence (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4998).

+        support for ``_time_ns`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5342).
+      - osx_defaults - no longer expand ``~`` in ``value`` to the user's home directory,
+        or expand environment variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5234,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5243).
+      - packet_ip_subnet - fix error reporting in case of invalid CIDR prefix lengths
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5111).
+      - pacman - fixed name resolution of URL packages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4959).
+      - passwordstore lookup plugin - fix ``returnall`` for gopass (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5027).
+      - passwordstore lookup plugin - fix password store path detection for gopass
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4955).
+      - pfexec become plugin - remove superflous quotes preventing exe wrap from working
+        as expected (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3671,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/3889).

+      - proxmox_kvm - fix ``agent`` parameter when boolean value is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5198).
+      - proxmox_kvm - fix error handling when getting VM by name when ``state=absent``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4945).
+      - proxmox_kvm - fix exception when no ``agent`` argument is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5194).
+      - proxmox_kvm - fix wrong condition (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5108).

+        ``vmid`` on update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5206).
+      - rax_clb_nodes - fix code to be compatible with Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4933).
+      - 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``. Any values set (or the defaults) for ``write_protected``
+        or ``inserted`` will be ignored (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4839).
+      - redfish_info - fix to ``GetChassisPower`` to correctly report power information
+        when multiple chassis exist, but not all chassis report power information
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4901).
+      - redfish_utils module utils - centralize payload checking when performing modification
+        requests to a Redfish service (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5210/).
+      - redhat_subscription - fix unsubscribing on RHEL 9 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4741).
+      - redhat_subscription - make module idempotent when ``pool_ids`` are used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5313).
+      - redis* modules - fix call to ``module.fail_json`` when failing because of
+        missing Python libraries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4733).
+      - slack - fix incorrect channel prefix ``#`` caused by incomplete pattern detection
+        by adding ``G0`` and ``GF`` as channel ID patterns (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5019).
+      - slack - fix message update for channels which start with ``CP``. When ``message-id``
+        was passed it failed for channels which started with ``CP`` because the ``#``
+        symbol was added before the ``channel_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5249).
+      - sudoers - ensure sudoers config files are created with the permissions requested
+        by sudoers (0440) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4814).
+      - 'sudoers - fix incorrect handling of ``state: absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4852).'
+      - tss lookup plugin - adding support for updated Delinea library (https://github.com/DelineaXPM/python-tss-sdk/issues/9,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5151).
+      - virtualbox inventory plugin - skip parsing values with keys that have both
+        a value and nested data. Skip parsing values that are nested more than two
+        keys deep (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5332,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5348).
+      - xcc_redfish_command - for compatibility due to Redfish spec changes the virtualMedia

+        module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
+      - CmdMixin module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module util
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
+      - CmdModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner`` module
+        util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
+      - CmdStateModuleHelper module utils - deprecated in favor of the ``CmdRunner``
+        module util (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5370).
+      - cmd_runner module utils - deprecated ``fmt`` in favour of ``cmd_runner_fmt``
+        as the parameter format object (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4777).
+      - django_manage - support for Django releases older than 4.1 has been deprecated
+        and will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
+      - django_manage - support for the commands ``cleanup``, ``syncdb`` and ``validate``
+        that have been deprecated in Django long time ago will be removed in community.general
+        9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5400).
+      - django_manage - the behavior of "creating the virtual environment when missing"
+        is being deprecated and will be removed in community.general version 9.0.0
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5405).
+      - gconftool2 - deprecates ``state=get`` in favor of using the module ``gconftool2_info``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4778).
+      - lxc_container - the module will no longer make any effort to support Python
+        2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5304).
+      - newrelic_deployment - ``appname`` and ``environment`` are no longer valid

+      - xfconf - deprecated parameter ``disable_facts``, as since version 4.0.0 it
+        only allows value ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4520).
+      major_changes:
+      - The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action
+        plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but
+        instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users
+        *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result
+        in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the
+        redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change.
+        Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these
+        internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change
+        back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors
+        in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
+      - newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).

+        root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5065,
