Deprecated Features
-------------------
- MH module utils - attribute ``debug`` definition in subclasses of MH is now deprecated, as that name will become a delegation to ``AnsibleModule`` in community.general 12.0.0, and any such attribute will be overridden by that delegation in that version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9577).

Removed Features (previously deprecated)
----------------------------------------
- Dropped support for ansible-core 2.15. The collection now requires ansible-core 2.16 or newer. This means that on the controller, Python 3.10+ is required. On the target side, Python 2.7 and Python 3.6+ are supported (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10160, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10192).
- The Proxmox content (modules and plugins) has been moved to the `new collection community.proxmox <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxmox>`__. Since community.general 11.0.0, these modules and plugins have been replaced by deprecated redirections to community.proxmox. You need to explicitly install community.proxmox, for example with ``ansible-galaxy collection install community.proxmox``, or by installing a new enough version of the Ansible community package. We suggest to update your roles and playbooks to use the new FQCNs as soon as possible to avoid getting deprecation messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10110).
- apt_rpm - the ``present`` and ``installed`` states are no longer equivalent to ``latest``, but to ``present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- clc_* modules and doc fragment - the modules were removed since CenturyLink Cloud services went EOL in September 2023 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).

- git_config - it is no longer allowed to use ``state=present`` with no value to read the config value. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- git_config - the ``list_all`` option has been removed. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- hipchat - the module was removed since the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- manifold lookup plugin - the plugin was removed since the company was acquired in 2021 and service was ceased afterwards (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.mixins.deps module utils - this module utils has been removed. Use the ``deps`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.mixins.vars module utils - this module utils has been removed. Use ``VarDict`` from the ``vardict`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.module_helper module utils - ``AnsibleModule`` and ``VarsMixin`` are no longer provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.module_helper module utils - ``VarDict`` is now imported from the ``vardict`` module utils and no longer from the removed ``mh.mixins.vars`` module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- mh.module_helper module utils - the attributes ``use_old_vardict`` and ``mute_vardict_deprecation`` from ``ModuleHelper`` have been removed. We suggest to remove them from your modules if you no longer support community.general < 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- module_helper module utils - ``StateMixin``, ``DependencyCtxMgr``, ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict``, and ``VarsMixin`` are no longer provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).

- pipx_info - module no longer supports ``pipx`` older than 1.7.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10137).
- profitbrick* modules - the modules were removed since the supporting library is unsupported since 2021 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
- redfish_utils module utils - the ``_init_session`` method has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).

- iocage inventory plugin - the plugin parses the IP4 tab of the jails list and put the elements into the new variable ``iocage_ip4_dict``. In multiple interface format the variable ``iocage_ip4`` keeps the comma-separated list of IP4 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9538).

- keycloak_authentication - fix authentification config duplication for Keycloak < 26.2.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9987).
- keycloak_client - fix and improve existing tests. The module showed a diff without actual changes, solved by improving the ``normalise_cr()`` function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9644).
- keycloak_client - fix diff by removing code that turns the attributes dict which contains additional settings into a list (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9077).
- keycloak_client - fix the idempotency regression by normalizing the Keycloak response for ``after_client`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9905, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9976).

- redfish_utils module utils - remove undocumented default applytime (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9114).
- redhat_subscription - do not try to unsubscribe (i.e. remove subscriptions)
when unregistering a system: newer versions of subscription-manager, as
available in EL 10 and Fedora 41+, do not support entitlements anymore, and
thus unsubscribing will fail
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9578).
- redhat_subscription - use the "enable_content" option (when available) when
registering using D-Bus, to ensure that subscription-manager enables the
content on registration; this is particular important on EL 10+ and Fedora
41+
