 Release Summary
 ---------------
 
-Final maintenance release of ``community.mysql`` major version 1.
+This is a minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this collection
+that have been made after the previous release.'
 
-Major Changes
+Minor Changes
 -------------
 
-- The ``community.mysql`` 1.x.y release stream is now effectively End of Life. No more releases will be made. This follows the decision to support each major release for two years. This decision stems from this discussion (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/discussions/537)
+- mysql_db - Add support for ``sql_log_bin`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/700).
 
+Bugfixes
+--------
 
-v1.5.0
+- mysql_query - fix a Python 2 compatibility issue caused by the addition of ``execution_time_ms`` in version 3.12 (see https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/716).
+- mysql_user - fix a crash (unable to parse the MySQL grant string: SET DEFAULT ROLE `somerole` FOR `someuser`@`%`) when using the ``mysql_user`` module with a DEFAULT role present in MariaDB. The DEFAULT role is now ignored by the parser (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/710).
+
+v3.14.0
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this collection
+that have been made after the previous release.'
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_replication - change default value for ``primary_ssl_verify_server_cert`` from False to None. This should not affect existing playbooks (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/707).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_info - fix a crash (ERROR 1141, There is no such grant defined for user 'PUBLIC' on host '%') when using the ``users_info`` filter with a PUBLIC role present in MariaDB 10.11+. Do note that the fix doesn't change the fact that the module won't return the privileges from the PUBLIC role in the users privileges list. It can't do that because you have to login as the particular user and use `SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER`. We considered using an aggregation with the `SHOW GRANTS FOR PUBLIC` command. However, this approach would make copying users from one server to another transform the privileges inherited from the role as if they were direct privileges on the user.
+- mysql_replication - fixed an issue where setting ``primary_ssl_verify_server_cert`` to false had no effect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/689).
+
+v3.13.0
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Integration tests for MariaDB 11.4 have replaced those for 10.5. The previous version is now 10.11.
+- mysql_user - add ``locked`` option to lock/unlock users, this is mainly used to have users that will act as definers on stored procedures.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_db - fix dump and import to find MariaDB binaries (mariadb and mariadb-dump) when MariaDB 11+ is used and symbolic links to MySQL binaries are absent.
+
+v3.12.0
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_db - added ``zstd`` (de)compression support for ``import``/``dump`` states (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/696).
+- mysql_query - returns the ``execution_time_ms`` list containing execution time per query in milliseconds.
+
+v3.11.0
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_info - adds the count of tables for each database to the returned values. It is possible to exclude this new field using the ``db_table_count`` exclusion filter. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/691)
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_user,mysql_role - The sql_mode ANSI_QUOTES affects how the modules mysql_user and mysql_role compare the existing privileges with the configured privileges, as well as decide whether double quotes or backticks should be used in the GRANT statements. Pointing out in issue 671, the modules mysql_user and mysql_role allow users to enable/disable ANSI_QUOTES in session variable (within a DB session, the session variable always overwrites the global one). But due to the issue, the modules do not check for ANSI_MODE in the session variable, instead, they only check in the GLOBAL one.That behavior is not only limiting the users' flexibility, but also not allowing users to explicitly disable ANSI_MODE to work around such bugs like https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=115953. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/671)
+
+v3.10.3
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a bugfix release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_user - add correct ``ed25519`` auth plugin handling when creating a user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/676).
+
+v3.10.2
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a bugfix release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+

+
+v3.10.1
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a patch release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+Besides a bugfix, it contains an important upcoming breaking-change information.
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- mysql_user - the ``user`` alias of the ``name`` argument has been deprecated and will be removed in collection version 5.0.0. Use the ``name`` argument instead.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_user - module makes changes when is executed with ``plugin_auth_string`` parameter and check mode.
+
+v3.10.0
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is a minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_info - Add ``tls_requires`` returned value for the ``users_info`` filter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/628).
+- mysql_info - return a database server engine used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/644).
+- mysql_replication - Adds support for `CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO` statement (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/635).
+- mysql_replication - Adds support for `SHOW BINARY LOG STATUS` and `SHOW BINLOG STATUS` on getprimary mode.
+- mysql_replication - Improve detection of IsReplica and IsPrimary by inspecting the dictionary returned from the SQL query instead of relying on variable types. This ensures compatibility with changes in the connector or the output of SHOW REPLICA STATUS and SHOW MASTER STATUS, allowing for easier maintenance if these change in the future.
+- mysql_user - Add salt parameter to generate static hash for `caching_sha2_password` and `sha256_password` plugins.
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- collection - support of mysqlclient connector is deprecated - use PyMySQL connector instead! We will stop testing against it in collection version 4.0.0 and remove the related code in 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/654).
+- mysql_info - The ``users_info`` filter returned variable ``plugin_auth_string`` contains the hashed password and it's misleading, it will be removed from community.mysql 4.0.0. Use the `plugin_hash_string` return value instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/629).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_info - Add ``plugin_hash_string`` to ``users_info`` filter's output. The existing ``plugin_auth_string`` contained the hashed password and thus is missleading, it will be removed from community.mysql 4.0.0. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/629).
+- mysql_user - Added a warning to update_password's on_new_username option if multiple accounts with the same username but different passwords exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/642).
+- mysql_user - Fix ``tls_requires`` not removing ``SSL`` and ``X509`` when sets as empty (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/628).
+- mysql_user - Fix idempotence when using variables from the ``users_info`` filter of ``mysql_info`` as an input (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/628).
+- mysql_user - Fixed an IndexError in the update_password functionality introduced in PR https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/580 and released in community.mysql 3.8.0. If you used this functionality, please avoid versions 3.8.0 to 3.9.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/642).
+- mysql_user - add correct ``ed25519`` auth plugin handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/6).
+- mysql_variables - fix the module always changes on boolean values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/652).
+
+v3.9.0

 Release Summary
 ---------------
 
 This is a minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- Collection version 2.*.* is EOL, no more bugfixes will be backported. Please consider upgrading to the latest version.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_user - add the ``password_expire`` and ``password_expire_interval`` arguments to implement the password expiration management for mysql user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/598).
+- mysql_user - add user attribute support via the ``attributes`` parameter and return value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/604).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_info - the ``slave_status`` filter was returning an empty list on MariaDB with multiple replication channels. It now returns all channels by running ``SHOW ALL SLAVES STATUS`` for MariaDB servers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/603).
+
+v3.8.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is the minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this
+collection that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- The community.mysql collection no longer supports ``ansible-core 2.12`` and ``ansible-core 2.13``. While we take no active measures to prevent usage and there are no plans to introduce incompatible code to the modules, we will stop testing those versions. Both are or will soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to the ``latest Ansible / ansible-core 2.15 or later`` as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/574).
+- mysql_role - the ``column_case_sensitive`` argument's default value will be changed to ``true`` in community.mysql 4.0.0. If your playbook expected the column to be automatically uppercased for your roles privileges, you should set this to false explicitly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/578).
+- mysql_user - the ``column_case_sensitive`` argument's default value will be changed to ``true`` in community.mysql 4.0.0. If your playbook expected the column to be automatically uppercased for your users privileges, you should set this to false explicitly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/577).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_info - add filter ``users_info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/580).
+- mysql_role - add ``column_case_sensitive`` option to prevent field names from being uppercased (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/569).

+- mysql_user - when revoke privs consists only of ``GRANT``, a 2nd revoke query is executed with empty privs to revoke that ended in an SQL exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/503).
+- mysql_variables - add uppercase character pattern to regex to allow GLOBAL variables containing uppercase characters. This recognizes variable names used in Galera, for example, ``wsrep_OSU_method``, which breaks the normal pattern of all lowercase characters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/501).

-This changelog contains all changes to the modules in this collection that
-have been added after the release of ``community.mysql`` 1.4.7.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules and plugins in this collection
+that have been made after the previous release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_user, mysql_role - mysql/mariadb recent versions translate 'ALL PRIVILEGES' to a list of specific privileges. That caused a change every time we modified user privileges. This fix compares privs before and after user modification to avoid this infinite change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/77).

+---------------
+
+This is the minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules in this collection
+that have been added after the release of ``community.mysql`` 3.4.0.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_replication - add a new option: ``primary_ssl_verify_server_cert`` (https://github.com//pull/435).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mysql_user - grant option was revoked accidentally when modifying users. This fix revokes grant option only when privs are setup to do that (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/77#issuecomment-1209693807).

+---------------
+
+This is the minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules in this collection
+that have been added after the release of ``community.mysql`` 3.3.0.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_db - the ``pipefail`` argument's default value will be changed to ``true`` in community.mysql 4.0.0. If your target machines do not use ``bash`` as a default interpreter, set ``pipefail`` to ``false`` explicitly. However, we strongly recommend setting up ``bash`` as a default and ``pipefail=true`` as it will protect you from getting broken dumps you don't know about (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/407).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_db - add the ``chdir`` argument to avoid failings when a dump file contains relative paths (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/395).
+- mysql_db - add the ``pipefail`` argument to avoid broken dumps when ``state`` is ``dump`` and compression is used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/256).
 
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - Include ``simplified_bsd.txt`` license file for various module utils.
+- mysql_db - Using compression masks errors messages from mysql_dump. By default the fix is inactive to ensure retro-compatibility with system without bash. To activate the fix, use the module option ``pipefail=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/256).
+- mysql_replication - when the ``primary_ssl`` argument is set to ``no``, the module will turn off SSL (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/393).

+This is the minor release of the ``community.mysql`` collection.
+This changelog contains all changes to the modules in this collection
+that have been added after the release of ``community.mysql`` 3.2.1.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_role - add the argument ``members_must_exist`` (boolean, default true). The assertion that the users supplied in the ``members`` argument exist is only executed when the new argument ``members_must_exist`` is ``true``, to allow opt-out (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/369).
+- mysql_user - Add the option ``on_new_username`` to argument ``update_password`` to reuse the password (plugin and authentication_string) when creating a new user if some user with the same name already exists. If the existing user with the same name have varying passwords, the password from the arguments is used like with ``update_password: always`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/365).
+- mysql_user - Add the result field ``password_changed`` (boolean). It is true, when the user got a new password. When the user was created with ``update_password: on_new_username`` and an existing password was reused, ``password_changed`` is false (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/365).
 
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - mysql_query - fix false change reports when ``IF EXISTS/IF NOT EXISTS`` clause is used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/268).
+- mysql_role - don't add members to a role when creating the role and ``detach_members: true`` is set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/367).
+- mysql_role - in some cases (when "SHOW GRANTS" did not use backticks for quotes), no unwanted members were detached from the role (and redundant "GRANT" statements were executed for wanted members). This is fixed by querying the existing role members from the mysql.role_edges (MySQL) or mysql.roles_mapping (MariaDB) tables instead of parsing the "SHOW GRANTS" output (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/368).
 - mysql_user - fix logic when ``update_password`` is set to ``on_create`` for users using ``plugin*`` arguments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/334). The ``on_create`` sets ``password`` to None for old mysql_native_authentication but not for authentiation methods which uses the ``plugin*`` arguments. This PR changes this so ``on_create`` also exchange ``plugin``, ``plugin_hash_string``, ``plugin_auth_string`` to None in the list of arguments to change

 Major Changes
 -------------
 
 - The community.mysql collection no longer supports ``Ansible 2.9`` and ``ansible-base 2.10``. While we take no active measures to prevent usage and there are no plans to introduce incompatible code to the modules, we will stop testing against ``Ansible 2.9`` and ``ansible-base 2.10``. Both will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to the ``latest Ansible / ansible-core 2.11 or later`` as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/343).
 
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- mysql_user and mysql_role: Add the argument ``subtract_privs`` (boolean, default false, mutually exclusive with ``append_privs``). If set, the privileges given in ``priv`` are revoked and existing privileges are kept (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/333).
+
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - mysql_user - fix missing dynamic privileges after revoke and grant privileges to user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/120).
 - mysql_user - fix parsing privs when a user has roles assigned (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/231).
-- mysql_user - fix the possibility for a race condition that breaks certain (circular) replication configurations when ``DROP USER`` is executed on multiple nodes in the replica set. Adding ``IF EXISTS`` avoids the need to use ``sql_log_bin: no`` making the statement always replication safe (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/287).

+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Added explicit description of the supported versions of databases and connectors. Changes to the collection are **NOT** tested against database versions older than `mysql 5.7.31` and `mariadb 10.2.37` or connector versions older than `pymysql 0.7.10` and `mysqlclient 2.0.1`. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/discussions/141)
+- mysql_user - added the ``force_context`` boolean option to set the default database context for the queries to be the ``mysql`` database. This way replication/binlog filters can catch the statements (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/265).
 
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - Collection core functions - use vendored version of ``distutils.version`` instead of the deprecated Python standard library ``distutils`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/269).

-# Contributing
+# Contributing to this project
 
-Refer to the [Ansible Contributing guidelines](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/index.html) to learn how to contribute to this collection.
+In this guide, you will find information relevant for code contributions, though any other kinds of contribution mentioned in the [Ansible Contributing guidelines](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/index.html) are equally appreciated and valuable.
 
-Refer to the [review checklist](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_reviewing.html) when triaging issues or reviewing PRs.
+If you have any questions after reading, please contact the community via one or more of the [available channels](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql#communication). Any feedback on this guide is very welcome.
+
+## Reviewing open issue and pull requests
+
+Refer to the [review checklist](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_reviewing.html) when triaging issues or reviewing pull requests (hereinafter PRs).
+
+Most important things to pay attention to:
+
+- Do not let major/breaking changes sneak into a minor/bugfix release! All such changes should be discussed in a dedicated issue, added to a corresponding milestone (which can be found or created in the project's Issues), and merged right before the major release. Take a look at similar issues to see what needs to be done and reflect on the steps you did/need to do in the issue.
+- Every PR (except doc, refactoring, test-related, or a PR containing a new module/plugin) contains a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/development_process.html#creating-a-changelog-fragment). Let's give users a chance to know about the changes.
+- Every new module `DOCUMENTATION` section contains the `version_added: 'x.y.z'` field. Besides the informative purpose, it is used by the changelog-generating tool to add a corresponding entry to the changelog. As the project follows SemVer, it is typically a next minor (x.y.0) version.
+- Every new module argument contains the `version_added: 'x.y.z'` field. As the project follows SemVer, it is typically a next minor (x.y.0) version.
+- Non-refactoring code changes (bugfixes, new features) are covered with, at least, integration tests! There can be exceptions but generally it is a requirement.
+
+## Code contributions
+
+If you want to submit a bugfix or new feature, refer to the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html) first.
+
+## Project-specific info
+
+We assume you have read the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html).
+
+In order for any submitted PR to get merged, this project requires sanity, unit, and integration tests to pass.
+Codecov job is there but not required.
+We use the GitHub Actions platform to run the tests.
+You can see the result in the bottom of every PR in the box listing the jobs and their results:
+
+- Green checkmark: the test has been passed, no more action is needed.
+- Red cross: the test has failed. You can see the reason by clicking the ``Details`` link. Fix them locally and push the commit.
+
+Generally, all jobs must be green.
+Sometimes, there can be failures unrelated to a PR, for example, when a test container is unavailable or there is another part of the code that does not satisfy recently introduced additional sanity checks.
+If you think the failure does not relate to your changes, put a comment about it.
+
+## CI testing
+
+The jobs are launched automatically by GitHub Actions in every PR based on the [matrix](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/.github/workflows/ansible-test-plugins.yml).
+
+As the project is included in `ansible` community package, it is a requirement for us to test against all supported `ansible-core` versions and corresponding Python versions.
+To keep the matrix relevant, we are subscribed to the [news-for-maintainers](https://github.com/ansible-collections/news-for-maintainers) repository and the [Collection maintainers & contributors](https://forum.ansible.com/g/CollectionMaintainer) forum group to track announcements affecting CI.
+
+If our matrix is permanently outdated, for example, when supported `ansible-core` versions are missed, the collections can get excluded from the package, so keep it updated!
+
+Read more about our CI implementation in the [TESTING.md](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/TESTING.md) file.
+
+## Adding tests
+
+If you are new here, read the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html) first.
+
+When fixing a bug, first reproduce it by adding a task as reported to a suitable file under the ``tests/integration/targets/<module_name>/tasks/`` directory and run the integration tests as described below. The same is relevant for new features.
+
+It is not necessary but if you want you can also add unit tests to a suitable file under the ``tests/units/`` directory and run them as described below.
+
+## Checking your code locally
+
+It will make your and other people's life a bit easier if you run the tests locally and fix all failures before pushing. If you're unable to run the tests locally, please create your PR as a **draft** to avoid reviewers being added automatically.
+
+If you are new here, read the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html) first.
+
+We assume you [prepared your local environment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html#prepare-your-environment) as described in the guide before running the following commands. Otherwise, the command will fail.
+
+### Sanity tests
+
+``` console
+$ ansible-test sanity path/to/changed_file.py --docker -v
+```
+
+### Integration tests
+
+See the [TESTING.md](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/TESTING.md) file to learn how to run integration tests against different server/connector versions.
+
+### Unit tests
+
+``` console
+$ ansible-test units tests/unit/plugins/unit_test_file.py --docker
+```

 ## External requirements
 
-The MySQL modules rely on a MySQL connector. The list of supported drivers is below:
+The MySQL modules rely on a [PyMySQL](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL) connector.
 
-- [PyMySQL](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL)
-- [MySQLdb](https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python)
-- Support for other Python MySQL connectors may be added in a future release.
+The `mysqlclient` connector support has been [deprecated](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/654) - use `PyMySQL` connector instead! We will stop testing against it in collection version 4.0.0 and remove the related code in 5.0.0.

-Our integrations tests use custom containers for ansible-test. Those images have their definition file stored in the directory [test-containers](test-containers/). We build and publish the images on ghcr.io under the ansible-collection namespace: E.G.:
-`ghcr.io/ansible-collections/community.mysql/test-container-mariadb106-py310-mysqlclient211:latest`.
-
-Availables images are listed [here](https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/packages).

-You can look into `[.github/workflows/ansible-test-plugins.yml](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/tree/main/.github/workflows)` to see how those containers are built using [build-docker-image.yml](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-docker-image.yml) and all [docker-image-xxx.yml](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/.github/workflows/docker-image-mariadb103-py38-mysqlclient201.yml) files.
+New components version should be added to this file: [.github/workflows/ansible-test-plugins.yml](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/tree/main/.github/workflows)
 
-1. Add a workflow in [.github/workflows/](.github/workflows)
-1. Add a new folder in [test-containers](test-containers) containing a new Dockerfile. Your container must contains 3 things:
-  - Python
-  - A connector: The python package to connect to the database (pymysql, mysqlclient, ...)
-  - A mysql client to prepare databases before our tests starts. This client must provide both `mysql` and `mysqldump` commands.
-1. Add your version in the matrix of *.github/workflows/ansible-test-plugins.yml*. You can use [run_all_tests.py](run_all_tests.py) to help you see what the matrix will be. Simply comment out the line `os.system(make_cmd)` before runing the script. You can also add `print(len(matrix))` to display how many tests there will be on GitHub Action.
-1. Ask the lead maintainer to mark your new image(s) as `public` under [https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/packages](https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/packages)
-
-After pushing your commit to the remote, the container will be built and published on ghcr.io. Have a look in the "Action" tab to see if it worked. In case of error `failed to copy: io: read/write on closed pipe` re-run the workflow, this append unfortunately a lot.
-
-To see the docker image produced, go to the package page in the ansible-collection namespace [https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/packages](https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/packages). This page indicate a "Published x days ago" that is updated infrequently. To see the last time the container has been updated you must click on its title and look in the right hands side bellow the title "Last published".
+Be careful to not add too much tests. The matrix creates an exponential number of virtual machines!

+        filter of ``mysql_info`` as an input (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/628).
+      - mysql_user - Fixed an IndexError in the update_password functionality introduced
+        in PR https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/580 and
+        released in community.mysql 3.8.0. If you used this functionality, please
+        avoid versions 3.8.0 to 3.9.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/642).
+      - mysql_user - add correct ``ed25519`` auth plugin handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/6).
+      - mysql_variables - fix the module always changes on boolean values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/652).

+        and remove the related code in 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/654).
+      - mysql_info - The ``users_info`` filter returned variable ``plugin_auth_string``
+        contains the hashed password and it's misleading, it will be removed from
+        community.mysql 4.0.0. Use the `plugin_hash_string` return value instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/629).

+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/635).
+      - mysql_replication - Adds support for `SHOW BINARY LOG STATUS` and `SHOW BINLOG
+        STATUS` on getprimary mode.
+      - mysql_replication - Improve detection of IsReplica and IsPrimary by inspecting
+        the dictionary returned from the SQL query instead of relying on variable
+        types. This ensures compatibility with changes in the connector or the output
+        of SHOW REPLICA STATUS and SHOW MASTER STATUS, allowing for easier maintenance
+        if these change in the future.

+    changes:
+      bugfixes:
+      - mysql_user,mysql_role - The sql_mode ANSI_QUOTES affects how the modules mysql_user
+        and mysql_role compare the existing privileges with the configured privileges,
+        as well as decide whether double quotes or backticks should be used in the
+        GRANT statements. Pointing out in issue 671, the modules mysql_user and mysql_role
+        allow users to enable/disable ANSI_QUOTES in session variable (within a DB
+        session, the session variable always overwrites the global one). But due to
+        the issue, the modules do not check for ANSI_MODE in the session variable,
+        instead, they only check in the GLOBAL one.That behavior is not only limiting
+        the users' flexibility, but also not allowing users to explicitly disable
+        ANSI_MODE to work around such bugs like https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=115953.

+        present in MariaDB 10.11+. Do note that the fix doesn't change the fact that
+        the module won't return the privileges from the PUBLIC role in the users privileges
+        list. It can't do that because you have to login as the particular user and
+        use `SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER`. We considered using an aggregation with
+        the `SHOW GRANTS FOR PUBLIC` command. However, this approach would make copying
+        users from one server to another transform the privileges inherited from the
+        role as if they were direct privileges on the user.
+      - mysql_replication - fixed an issue where setting ``primary_ssl_verify_server_cert``
+        to false had no effect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/689).

+        / ansible-core 2.15 or later`` as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/574).
+      - mysql_role - the ``column_case_sensitive`` argument's default value will be

+        Resolves the appropriate SQL command based on the server implementation and version.
+
+        Parameters:
+        command (str): The base SQL command to be resolved (e.g., "SHOW SLAVE HOSTS").
+
+        Returns:
+        str: The resolved SQL command suitable for the given server implementation and version.
+
+        Raises:
+        ValueError: If the command is not supported or recognized.
+
+        Example:
+        Given a server implementation `mysql` and server version `8.0.23`, and a command `SHOW SLAVE HOSTS`,
+        the method will resolve the command based on the following table of versions:
+
+        Table:

+                ("mysql", "default", "SHOW SLAVES HOSTS default"),

+        >>> resolver.resolve_command("SHOW SLAVE HOSTS")
+        'SHOW REPLICAS'
+
+        In this example, the resolver will:
+        - Filter and sort applicable versions: [
+            ("8.4.0", "SHOW REPLICAS  8.4"),
+            ("8.0.22", "HOW REPLICAS"),
+            ("5.7.0", "SHOW SLAVES HOSTS")
+          ]
+
+        - Iterate through the sorted list and find the first version less than or equal to 8.0.23,

+module: mysql_role
+
+short_description: Adds, removes, or updates a MySQL or MariaDB role
+
+description:
+   - Adds, removes, or updates a MySQL or MariaDB role.
+   - Roles are supported since MySQL 8.0.0 and MariaDB 10.0.5.
+
+version_added: '2.2.0'
+
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Name of the role to add or remove.
+    type: str
+    required: true
+
+  admin:
+    description:
+      - Supported by B(MariaDB).
+      - Name of the admin user of the role (the I(login_user), by default).
+    type: str
+
+  priv:
+    description:
+      - "MySQL privileges string in the format: C(db.table:priv1,priv2)."
+      - "You can specify multiple privileges by separating each one using
+        a forward slash: C(db.table:priv/db.table:priv)."
+      - The format is based on MySQL C(GRANT) statement.
+      - Database and table names can be quoted, MySQL-style.
+      - If column privileges are used, the C(priv1,priv2) part must be
+        exactly as returned by a C(SHOW GRANT) statement. If not followed,
+        the module will always report changes. It includes grouping columns
+        by permission (C(SELECT(col1,col2)) instead of C(SELECT(col1),SELECT(col2))).
+      - Can be passed as a dictionary (see the examples).
+      - Supports GRANTs for procedures and functions
+        (see the examples for the M(community.mysql.mysql_user) module).
+    type: raw
+
+  append_privs:
+    description:
+      - Append the privileges defined by the I(priv) option to the existing ones
+        for this role instead of overwriting them. Mutually exclusive with I(subtract_privs).
+    type: bool
+    default: false
+
+  subtract_privs:
+    description:
+      - Revoke the privileges defined by the I(priv) option and keep other existing privileges.
+        If set, invalid privileges in I(priv) are ignored.
+        Mutually exclusive with I(append_privs).
+    version_added: '3.2.0'
+    type: bool
+    default: false
+
+  members:
+    description:
+      - List of members of the role.
+      - For users, use the format C(username@hostname).
+        Always specify the hostname part explicitly.
+      - For roles, use the format C(rolename).
+      - Mutually exclusive with I(admin).
+    type: list
+    elements: str
+
+  append_members:
+    description:
+      - Add members defined by the I(members) option to the existing ones
+        for this role instead of overwriting them.
+      - Mutually exclusive with the I(detach_members) and I(admin) option.
+    type: bool
+    default: false
+
+  detach_members:
+    description:
+      - Detaches members defined by the I(members) option from the role
+        instead of overwriting all the current members.
+      - Mutually exclusive with the I(append_members) and I(admin) option.
+    type: bool
+    default: false
+
+  set_default_role_all:
+    description:
+      - Is not supported by MariaDB and is silently ignored when working with MariaDB.
+      - If C(yes), runs B(SET DEFAULT ROLE ALL TO) each of the I(members) when changed.
+      - If you want to avoid this behavior, set this option to C(no) explicitly.
+    type: bool
+    default: true
+
+  state:
+    description:
+      - If C(present) and the role does not exist, creates the role.
+      - If C(present) and the role exists, does nothing or updates its attributes.
+      - If C(absent), removes the role.
+    type: str
+    choices: [ absent, present ]
+    default: present
+
+  check_implicit_admin:
+    description:
+      - Check if mysql allows login as root/nopassword before trying supplied credentials.
+      - If success, passed I(login_user)/I(login_password) will be ignored.
+    type: bool
+    default: false
+
+  members_must_exist:
+    description:
+      - When C(yes), the module fails if any user in I(members) does not exist.
+      - When C(no), users in I(members) which don't exist are simply skipped.
+    type: bool
+    default: true
+
+  column_case_sensitive:
+    description:
+      - The default is C(false).
+      - When C(true), the module will not uppercase the field in the privileges.
+      - When C(false), the field names will be upper-cased. This was the default before this
+        feature was introduced but since MySQL/MariaDB is case sensitive you should set this
+        to C(true) in most cases.
+    type: bool
+    version_added: '3.8.0'
+
+notes:
+  - Roles are supported since MySQL 8.0.0 and MariaDB 10.0.5.
+  - Pay attention that the module runs C(SET DEFAULT ROLE ALL TO)
+    all the I(members) passed by default when the state has changed.
+    If you want to avoid this behavior, set I(set_default_role_all) to C(no).

+# Due to https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=115953, in Mysql 8, if ANSI_QUOTES is enabled,

+# As a consequence, mysql_user and mysql_roles will always report "changed" for functions
+# and procedures no matter the privileges are granted or not.
+# Workaround for the mysql bug 116953 is removing ANSI_QUOTES from the module's session 
+# sql_mode. But because issue 671, ANSI_QUOTES is always got from GLOBAL sql_mode, thus 
+# this workaround can't work. Even without the Mysql bug, because sql_mode in session
