          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10817).
        - pids - prevent error when an empty string is provided for ``name`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10672,

          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10796,

        - sysupgrade - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).
        - terraform - fix bug when ``null`` values inside complex vars are throwing
          error instead of being passed to terraform. Now terraform can handle ``null``s
          in ``complex_vars`` itself (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10961).
        - 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).
        - xfconf - fix handling of empty array properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11026).
        - xfconf_info - fix handling of empty array properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11026).

          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10852).

      release_summary: This is release 12.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on
        2025-11-03.
      removed_features:
        - 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).
        - cmd_runner module utils - the parameter ``ignore_value_none`` to ``CmdRunner.__call__()``
          has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - cmd_runner_fmt module utils - the parameter ``ctx_ignore_none`` to argument
          formatters has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - facter - the module has been replaced by ``community.general.facter_facts``
          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - mh.deco module utils - the parameters ``on_success`` and ``on_failure``
          of ``cause()`` have been removed; use ``when="success"`` and ``when="failure"``
          instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - opkg - the value ``""`` for the option ``force`` is no longer allowed. Omit
          ``force`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - pacemaker_cluster - the option ``state`` is now required (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - pure module utils - the modules using this module utils have been removed
          from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - purestorage doc fragment - the modules using this doc fragment have been
          removed from community.general 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10883).
        - yaml callback plugin - the deprecated plugin has been removed. Use the default
          callback with ``result_format=yaml`` instead (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).'

  12.2.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
        - apk - fix ``packages`` return value for apk-tools >= 3 (Alpine 3.23) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11264).
        - iptables_state - refactor code to avoid writing unnecessary temporary files
          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11258).
        - keycloak_realm - fixed crash in ``sanitize_cr()`` when ``realmrep`` was
          ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11260).
        - keycloak_user_rolemapping module - fixed crash when assigning roles to users
          without an existing role (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10960,
          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11256).
        - listen_ports_facts - fix handling of empty PID lists when ``command=ss``
          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11332).
        - monit - add delay of 0.5 seconds after state change and check for status
          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11255).
        - monit - internal state was not reflecting when operation is "pending" in
          ``monit`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11245).
      deprecated_features:
        - All module utils, plugin utils, and doc fragments will be made **private**
          in community.general 13.0.0. This means that they will no longer be part
          of the public API of the collection, and can have breaking changes even
          in bugfix releases. If you depend on importing code from the module or plugin
          utils, or use one of the doc fragments, please `comment in the issue to
          discuss this <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11312>`__.
          Note that this does not affect any use of community.general in task files,
          roles, or playbooks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11312,
          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11320).
      minor_changes:
        - btrfs module utils - make execution of external commands safer by passing
          arguments as list (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11240).
        - deps module utils - change the internal representaion of dependency state
          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11242).
        - keycloak_userprofile - add support for ``selector`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11309).
        - keycloak_userprofile - add support for additional user profile attribute-validations
          available in Keycloak (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9048,
          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11285).
        - lxc_container - refactor function ``create_script``, using ``subprocess.Popen()``,
          to a new module_utils ``_lxc`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11204).
        - lxc_container - use ``tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()`` instead of ``mkdtemp()``
          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11323).
        - monit - add ``monit_version`` return value also when the module has succeeded
          (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11255).
        - monit - use ``Enum`` to represent the possible states (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11245).
        - nmcli module - add ``vxlan_parent`` option required for multicast ``vxlan_remote``
          addresses; add ``vxlan`` to list of bridgeable devices (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11182).
        - scaleway inventory plugin - added support for ``SCW_PROFILE`` environment
          variable for the ``scw_profile`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11310,
          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11311).
        - scaleway module utils - added ``scw_profile`` parameter with ``SCW_PROFILE``
          environment variable support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/11313,
          https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11314).
