Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release\, it was not possible to add such variables to the output [due to a bug](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5755) \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5765](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5765)\)\.

-Regular bugfix and feature release\.
-
-<a id="minor-changes-9"></a>
-### Minor Changes
-
-* cmd\_runner module utils \- <code>cmd\_runner\_fmt\.as\_bool\(\)</code> can now take an extra parameter to format when value is false \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5647](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5647)\)\.
-* gconftool2 \- refactor using <code>ModuleHelper</code> and <code>CmdRunner</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5545](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5545)\)\.
-* java\_certs \- add more detailed error output when extracting certificate from PKCS12 fails \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5550](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5550)\)\.
-* jenkins\_plugin \- refactor code to module util to fix sanity check \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5565](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5565)\)\.
-* lxd\_project \- refactored code out to module utils to clear sanity check \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5549](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5549)\)\.
-* nmap inventory plugin \- add new options <code>udp\_scan</code>\, <code>icmp\_timestamp</code>\, and <code>dns\_resolve</code> for different types of scans \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5566](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5566)\)\.
-* rax\_scaling\_group \- refactored out code to the <code>rax</code> module utils to clear the sanity check \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5563](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5563)\)\.
-* redfish\_command \- add <code>PerformRequestedOperations</code> command to perform any operations necessary to continue the update flow \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276)\)\.
-* redfish\_command \- add <code>update\_apply\_time</code> to <code>SimpleUpdate</code> command \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3910](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3910)\)\.
-* redfish\_command \- add <code>update\_status</code> to output of <code>SimpleUpdate</code> command to allow a user monitor the update in progress \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276)\)\.

-* slack \- add option <code>prepend\_hash</code> which allows to control whether a <code>\#</code> is prepended to <code>channel\_id</code>\. The current behavior \(value <code>auto</code>\) is to prepend <code>\#</code> unless some specific prefixes are found\. That list of prefixes is incomplete\, and there does not seem to exist a documented condition on when exactly <code>\#</code> must not be prepended\. We recommend to explicitly set <code>prepend\_hash\=always</code> or <code>prepend\_hash\=never</code> to avoid any ambiguity \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5629](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5629)\)\.

-### Deprecated Features
-
-* The <code>sap</code> modules <code>sapcar\_extract</code>\, <code>sap\_task\_list\_execute</code>\, and <code>hana\_query</code>\, will be removed from this collection in community\.general 7\.0\.0 and replaced with redirects to <code>community\.sap\_libs</code>\. If you want to continue using these modules\, make sure to also install <code>community\.sap\_libs</code> \(it is part of the Ansible package\) \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5614](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5614)\)\.

-<a id="bugfixes-14"></a>
-### Bugfixes
-
-* chroot connection plugin \- add <code>inventory\_hostname</code> to vars under <code>remote\_addr</code>\. This is needed for compatibility with ansible\-core 2\.13 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5570](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5570)\)\.
-* cmd\_runner module utils \- fixed bug when handling default cases in <code>cmd\_runner\_fmt\.as\_map\(\)</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538)\)\.
-* cmd\_runner module utils \- formatting arguments <code>cmd\_runner\_fmt\.as\_fixed\(\)</code> was expecting an non\-existing argument \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538)\)\.
-* keycloak\_client\_rolemapping \- calculate <code>proposed</code> and <code>after</code> return values properly \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619)\)\.
-* keycloak\_client\_rolemapping \- remove only listed mappings with <code>state\=absent</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619)\)\.
-* proxmox inventory plugin \- fix bug while templating when using templates for the <code>url</code>\, <code>user</code>\, <code>password</code>\, <code>token\_id</code>\, or <code>token\_secret</code> options \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5640](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5640)\)\.
-* proxmox inventory plugin \- handle tags delimited by semicolon instead of comma\, which happens from Proxmox 7\.3 on \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5602](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5602)\)\.
-* redhat\_subscription \- do not ignore <code>consumer\_name</code> and other variables if <code>activationkey</code> is specified \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3486](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3486)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5627](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5627)\)\.
-* redhat\_subscription \- do not pass arguments to <code>subscription\-manager register</code> for things already configured\; now a specified <code>rhsm\_baseurl</code> is properly set for subscription\-manager \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5583](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5583)\)\.
-* unixy callback plugin \- fix plugin to work with ansible\-core 2\.14 by using Ansible\'s configuration manager for handling options \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5600](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5600)\)\.
-* vdo \- now uses <code>yaml\.safe\_load\(\)</code> to parse command output instead of the deprecated <code>yaml\.load\(\)</code> which is potentially unsafe\. Using <code>yaml\.load\(\)</code> without explicitely setting a <code>Loader\=</code> is also an error in pyYAML 6\.0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5632](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5632)\)\.
-* vmadm \- fix for index out of range error in <code>get\_vm\_uuid</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5628](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5628)\)\.

-### 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\.
-
-<a id="major-changes"></a>
-### 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 <em>assuming they did not use internal FQCNs</em>\. 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 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5461](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5461)\)\.
-* newrelic\_deployment \- removed New Relic v1 API\, added support for v2 API \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5341](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5341)\)\.

 * 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.
