Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

• The collection no longer supports ansible-core 2.13 and ansible-core 2.14. While most or even all modules and plugins might still work with these versions, they are no longer tested in CI and breakages regarding them will not be fixed [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8921](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8921).
• cmd_runner module utils - CLI arguments created directly from module parameters are no longer assigned a default formatter [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8928](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8928).
• irc - the defaults of use_tls and validate_certs changed from false to true [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8918](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8918).
• rhsm_repository - the states present and absent have been removed. Use enabled and disabled instead [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8918](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8918).

Deprecated Features

• CmdRunner module util - setting the value of the ignore_none parameter within a CmdRunner context is deprecated and that feature should be removed in community.general 12.0.0 [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8479](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8479).
