======
Release Summary
---------------
Regular bugfix release.
Minor Changes
-------------
- apache2_module - added workaround for new PHP module name, from ``php7_module`` to ``php_module`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9951).
Bugfixes
--------
- dependent look plugin - make compatible with ansible-core's Data Tagging feature (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
- diy callback plugin - make compatible with ansible-core's Data Tagging feature (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
- github_deploy_key - check that key really exists on 422to avoid masking other errors (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6718, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10011).
- hashids and unicode_normalize filter plugins - avoid deprecated ``AnsibleFilterTypeError`` on ansible-core 2.19 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9992).
- 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).
- proxmox inventory plugin - fix ``ansible_host`` staying empty for certain Proxmox nodes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5906, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9952).
- proxmox_disk - fail gracefully if ``storage`` is required but not provided by the user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/9941, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9963).
- reveal_ansible_type filter plugin and ansible_type test plugin - make compatible with ansible-core's Data Tagging feature (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
- sysrc - no longer always reporting ``changed=true`` when ``state=absent``. This fixes the method ``exists()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10004, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10005).
- yaml callback plugin - use ansible-core internals to avoid breakage with Data Tagging (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
Known Issues
------------
- reveal_ansible_type filter plugin and ansible_type test plugin - note that ansible-core's Data Tagging feature implements new aliases, such as ``_AnsibleTaggedStr`` for ``str``, ``_AnsibleTaggedInt`` for ``int``, and ``_AnsibleTaggedFloat`` for ``float`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
- sysrc - no longer always reporting ``changed=true`` when ``state=absent``. This fixes the method ``exists()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/10004, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10005).
