Most of the code does not have type hints yet, but now it is possible to add typing hints and have these validated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10285, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10886, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10891, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10892, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10897, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10899, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10902, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10903, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10904, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10907, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10908, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10909, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10939, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10940, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10941, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10942, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10945, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10947, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10958, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10959, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10968, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10969, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10970, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10971, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10973, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10974, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10975, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10976, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10977, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10978, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10979, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10980, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10981, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10992, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10993, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10997, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10999, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11015, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11016, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/11017).

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).

pacemaker - use regex for matching maintenance-mode output to determine cluster maintenance status (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10426, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10707).
pacemaker_resource - fix resource_type parameter formatting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10426, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10663).
parted - variable is a list, not text (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10823, 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/pull/10688).
pritunl_user - improve resilience when comparing user parameters if remote fields are null or missing. List parameters <code>groups</code>\, <code>mac\_addresses</code> 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).
selective callback plugin - specify ansible_loop_var instead of the explicit value item when printing task result (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10752).
syspatch - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).
sysrc - fixes parsing with multi-line variables (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10394, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10417).
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).
yaml cache plugin - make compatible with ansible-core 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10849, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10852).
zypper_repository - avoid ansible-core 2.19 deprecation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10459).
