Removed Features (previously deprecated)

• Ansible-core 2.16 is no longer supported. This also means that the collection now requires Python 3.7+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10884).
• bearychat - the module has been removed as the chat service is no longer available (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).

Security Fixes

• keycloak_user - the parameter credentials[].value is now marked as no_log=true. Before it was logged by Ansible, unless the task was marked as no_log: true. Since this parameter can be used for passwords, this resulted in credential leaking (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11000, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11005).

• machinectl become plugin - disable pipelining on ansible-core 2.19+. The plugin does not work with pipelining, and since ansible-core 2.19 become plugins can indicate that they do not work with pipelining (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10537).
• merge_variables lookup plugin - avoid deprecated functionality from ansible-core 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10566).

List parameters (groups, mac_addresses) now safely default to empty lists for comparison and avoids KeyError issues (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10954, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10955).
• random_string lookup plugin - replace random.SystemRandom() with secrets.SystemRandom() when generating strings. This has no practical effect, as both are the same (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10893).
• rocketchat - fix message delivery in Rocket Chat >= 7.5.3 by forcing Content-Type header to application/json instead of the default application/x-www-form-urlencoded (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10796, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10796).

• wsl connection plugin - avoid deprecated ansible-core paramiko import helper, import paramiko directly instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10515, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10531).
