+  8.6.0:
+    changes:
+      bugfixes:
+      - aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
+      - apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get
+        -y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
+      - bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential
+        backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
+      - from_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow
+        converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
+      - gitlab_issue, gitlab_label, gitlab_milestone - avoid crash during version
+        comparison when the python-gitlab Python module is not installed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8158).
+      - haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the
+        backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
+      - inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not
+        contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
+      - ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
+      - keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes``
+        to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
+      - keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).
+      - puppet - add option ``environment_lang`` to set the environment language encoding.
+        Defaults to lang ``C``. It is recommended to set it to ``C.UTF-8`` or ``en_US.UTF-8``
+        depending on what is available on your system. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8000)
+      - riak - support ``riak admin`` sub-command in newer Riak KV versions beside
+        the legacy ``riak-admin`` main command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8211).
+      - to_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow
+        converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
+      - xml - make module work with lxml 5.1.1, which removed some internals that
+        the module was relying on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8169).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the
+        self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is
+        therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if
+        nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
+      minor_changes:
+      - Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead
+        of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
+      - 'apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value
+        ``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will
+        upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what
+        most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package
+        is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated
+        in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).'
+      - bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
+      - filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126).
+      - ini_file - add an optional parameter ``section_has_values``. If the target
+        ini file contains more than one ``section``, use ``section_has_values`` to
+        specify which one should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7505).
+      - java_cert - add ``cert_content`` argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8153).
+      - keycloak_client, keycloak_clientscope, keycloak_clienttemplate - added ``docker-v2``
+        protocol support, enhancing alignment with Keycloak's protocol options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8215,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8216).
+      - nmcli - adds OpenvSwitch support with new ``type`` values ``ovs-port``, ``ovs-interface``,
+        and ``ovs-bridge``, and new ``slave_type`` value ``ovs-port`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8154).
+      - osx_defaults - add option ``check_types`` to enable changing the type of existing
+        defaults on the fly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8173).
+      - passwordstore lookup - add ``missing_subkey`` parameter defining the behavior
+        of the lookup when a passwordstore subkey is missing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8166).
+      - portage - adds the possibility to explicitely tell portage to write packages
+        to world file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6226,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8236).
+      - redfish_command - add command ``ResetToDefaults`` to reset manager to default
+        state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8163).
+      - redfish_info - add boolean return value ``MultipartHttpPush`` to ``GetFirmwareUpdateCapabilities``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8194, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8195).
+      - ssh_config - allow ``accept-new`` as valid value for ``strict_host_key_checking``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8257).
