+### Bugfixes
+
+* aix\_devices \- fix <code>chdev</code> command failures being incorrectly reported as successful results\, now properly fails the task when device attribute changes cannot be applied \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12185](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12185)\)\.
+* composer \- the <code>\-\-working\-dir</code> option is now always placed first on the command line\, before the subcommand\, to ensure consistent behavior across all composer commands \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5204](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5204)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12084](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12084)\)\.
+* composer \- use file checksum to determine <code>changed</code> status when <code>command\=config</code>\, instead of relying on the command return output\. The module now compares SHA256 checksums of relevant configuration files \(<code>composer\.json</code>\, <code>auth\.json</code>\, or their global equivalents\) before and after running the command \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12084](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12084)\)\.
+* counter\_enabled callback \- fix missing output for looped tasks\, including tasks using <code>delegate\_to</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8187](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8187)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12067](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12067)\)\.
+* dnf\_config\_manager \- fix incompatibility with DNF5\. The module was crashing on systems with DNF5 due to CLI changes since DNF4 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/9127](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/9127)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12206](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12206)\)\.
+* filesystem \- handle BusyBox <code>blkid</code> output to correctly detect existing filesystems on systems like Alpine Linux \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7283](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/7283)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12235](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12235)\)\.
+* filetree lookup plugin \- raise <code>AnsibleLookupError</code> when the <code>exclude</code> option contains an invalid regular expression instead of an uncaught <code>re\.error</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12140](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12140)\)\.
+* htpasswd \- fix <code>hash\_scheme</code> aliases and Apache\-compatible <code>bcrypt</code> hashes \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6135](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6135)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12123](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12123)\)\.
+* incus connection plugin \- improve Windows PowerShell argv handling by stripping wrapper quotes from payload arguments for <code>\-enc</code>\, <code>\-encodedcommand</code>\, <code>\-command</code>\, <code>\-c</code>\, <code>\-file</code> and <code>\-f</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/12161](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/12161)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12158](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12158)\)\.
+* incus connection plugin \- return <code>stdout</code>/<code>stderr</code> as bytes instead of strings to restore compatibility with ansible\-core 2\.21 module execution \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/12161](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/12161)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12158](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12158)\)\.
+* java\_cert \- detect silent <code>keytool</code> failures by verifying the import outcome after the command exits with <code>rc\=0</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6685](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6685)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12238](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12238)\)\.

+* launchd \- fix <code>restarted</code> and <code>reloaded</code> states always reporting <code>changed\=False</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6199](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6199)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12122](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12122)\)\.
+* lxc\_container \- fix <code>create\_script</code> to accept a single tuple argument\, resolving a <code>TypeError</code> that silently prevented <code>container\_command</code> from being executed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/11360](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/11360)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12106](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12106)\)\.
+* nmcli \- fix check/diff reporting changes for bond <code>arp\_interval</code> and <code>arp\_ip\_target</code> options when they are already configured \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/11588](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/11588)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12085](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12085)\)\.
+* nmcli \- fix incorrectly reports diff for bond connections when <code>mtu</code> is unset and NetworkManager reports no explicit MTU value \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12085](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12085)\)\.
+* opkg \- correctly set executable search path \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12182](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/12182)\)\.

+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- aix_devices - fix ``chdev`` command failures being incorrectly reported as successful results, now properly fails the task when device attribute changes cannot be applied (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12185).
+- composer - the ``--working-dir`` option is now always placed first on the command line, before the subcommand, to ensure consistent behavior across all composer commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5204, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12084).
+- composer - use file checksum to determine ``changed`` status when ``command=config``, instead of relying on the command return output. The module now compares SHA256 checksums of relevant configuration files (``composer.json``, ``auth.json``, or their global equivalents) before and after running the command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12084).
+- counter_enabled callback - fix missing output for looped tasks, including tasks using ``delegate_to`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8187, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12067).
+- dnf_config_manager - fix incompatibility with DNF5. The module was crashing on systems with DNF5 due to CLI changes since DNF4 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9127, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12206).
+- filesystem - handle BusyBox ``blkid`` output to correctly detect existing filesystems on systems like Alpine Linux (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7283, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12235).
+- filetree lookup plugin - raise ``AnsibleLookupError`` when the ``exclude`` option contains an invalid regular expression instead of an uncaught ``re.error`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12140).
+- htpasswd - fix ``hash_scheme`` aliases and Apache-compatible ``bcrypt`` hashes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6135, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12123).
+- incus connection plugin - improve Windows PowerShell argv handling by stripping wrapper quotes from payload arguments for ``-enc``, ``-encodedcommand``, ``-command``, ``-c``, ``-file`` and ``-f`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/12161, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12158).
+- incus connection plugin - return ``stdout``/``stderr`` as bytes instead of strings to restore compatibility with ansible-core 2.21 module execution (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/12161, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12158).
+- java_cert - detect silent ``keytool`` failures by verifying the import outcome after the command exits with ``rc=0`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6685, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12238).
+- java_cert - fix ``NullPointerException`` when importing from a PKCS12 file with a password on Java 8 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3023, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12151).
+- launchd - fix ``restarted`` and ``reloaded`` states always reporting ``changed=False`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6199, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12122).
+- lxc_container - fix ``create_script`` to accept a single tuple argument, resolving a ``TypeError`` that silently prevented ``container_command`` from being executed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11360, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12106).
+- nmcli - fix check/diff reporting changes for bond ``arp_interval`` and ``arp_ip_target`` options when they are already configured (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11588, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12085).
+- nmcli - fix incorrectly reports diff for bond connections when ``mtu`` is unset and NetworkManager reports no explicit MTU value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12085).
+- opkg - correctly set executable search path (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12182).
+- pamd - handle non-PAM lines such as authselect template directives without crashing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5850, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12137).
+- parted - ignore MBR partition type codes (for example ``type=8e``) reported as flags by some parted builds (for example on SUSE), which cannot be managed via the ``set`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6292, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12121).
+- portage - fix ``depclean: true`` crashing with ``AnsibleModule.fail_json() missing 1 required positional argument: 'msg'`` instead of reporting the actual emerge failure (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12168).
+- redfish_config - fix ``KeyError: 'ret'`` when ``SetManagerNic`` cannot find a matching NIC (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5892, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12124).
+- udm_dns_record - normalize IPv6 addresses in ``data`` to expanded form to fix idempotency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/317, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12149).
+- unixy callback - handle missing ``ansible_host`` in delegated vars when a task is delegated to a host without it set, such as ``localhost`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/12112, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12113).
+- xml - preserve DOCTYPE declaration when writing modified XML files (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/2762, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12148).
+- zypper_repository - fix ``enabled``, ``autorefresh``, and ``gpgcheck`` module parameters being overridden by values read from a ``.repo`` file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8783, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/12022).
