* The ``ansible-galaxy login`` command has been removed, as the underlying API it used for GitHub auth has been shut down. Publishing roles or collections to Galaxy with ``ansible-galaxy`` now requires that a Galaxy API token be passed to the CLI using a token file (default location ``~/.ansible/galaxy_token``) or (insecurely) with the ``--token`` argument to ``ansible-galaxy``.

The constant ``ansible.module_utils.basic._CHECK_ARGUMENT_TYPES_DISPATCHER`` is deprecated. Use :const:`ansible.module_utils.common.parameters.DEFAULT_TYPE_VALIDATORS` instead.

Changes to ``AnsibleModule``
----------------------------
With the move to :class:`ArgumentSpecValidator <ansible.module_utils.common.arg_spec.ArgumentSpecValidator>` for performing argument spec validation, the following private methods in :class:`AnsibleModule <ansible.module_utils.basic.AnsibleModule>` have been removed:
Modules or plugins using these private methods should use the public functions in :mod:`ansible.module_utils.common.validation` or :meth:`ArgumentSpecValidator.validate() <ansible.module_utils.common.arg_spec.ArgumentSpecValidator.validate>` if no public function was listed above.
Changes to :mod:`ansible.module_utils.common.parameters`
The following functions in :mod:`ansible.module_utils.common.parameters` are now private and should not be used directly. Use :meth:`ArgumentSpecValidator.validate() <ansible.module_utils.common.arg_spec.ArgumentSpecValidator.validate>` instead.
- ``list_no_log_values``
- ``list_deprecations``
- ``handle_aliases``

======
* **Upgrading**: If upgrading from ``ansible < 2.10`` or from ``ansible-base`` and using pip, you must ``pip uninstall ansible`` or ``pip uninstall ansible-base`` before installing ``ansible-core`` to avoid conflicts.
* Python 3.8 on the controller node is a soft requirement for this release. ``ansible-core`` 2.11 still works with the same versions of Python that ``ansible-base`` 2.10 worked with, however 2.11 emits a warning when running on a controller node with a Python version less than 3.8. This warning can be disabled by setting ``ANSIBLE_CONTROLLER_PYTHON_WARNING=False`` in your environment. ``ansible-core`` 2.12 will require Python 3.8 or greater.
* The configuration system now validates the ``choices`` field, so any settings that violate it and were ignored in 2.10 cause an error in 2.11. For example, `ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_ON_ANSIBLE_VERSION_MISMATCH=0` now causes an error (valid choices are ``ignore``, ``warn`` or ``error``).
* The configuration system now validates the ``choices`` field, so any settings that violate it and were ignored in 2.10 cause an error in 2.11. For example, ``ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_ON_ANSIBLE_VERSION_MISMATCH=0`` now causes an error (valid choices are ``ignore``, ``warn`` or ``error``).
* The ``ansible-galaxy`` command now uses ``resolvelib`` for resolving dependencies. In most cases this should not make a user-facing difference beyond being more performant, but we note it here for posterity and completeness.
* If you import Python ``module_utils`` into any modules you maintain, you may now mark the import as optional during the module payload build by wrapping the ``import`` statement in a ``try`` or ``if`` block. This allows modules to use ``module_utils`` that may not be present in all versions of Ansible or a collection, and to perform arbitrary recovery or fallback actions during module runtime.

* facts - On NetBSD, ``ansible_virtualization_type`` now tries to report a more accurate result than ``xen`` when virtualized and not running on Xen.
* facts - Virtualization facts now include ``virtualization_tech_guest`` and ``virtualization_tech_host`` keys. These are lists of virtualization technologies that a guest is a part of, or that a host provides, respectively. As an example, if you set up a host to provide both KVM and VirtualBox, both values are included in ``virtualization_tech_host``. Similarly, a podman container running on a VM powered by KVM has a ``virtualization_tech_guest`` of ``["kvm", "podman", "container"]``.
* The parameter ``filter`` type is changed from ``string`` to ``list`` in the :ref:`setup <setup_module>` module in order to use more than one filter. Previous behaviour (using a ``string``) still remains and works as a single filter.

Porting Guide for v4.0.0b1
==========================
Known Issues
------------
dellemc.openmanage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- idrac_user - Issue(192043) Module may error out with the message ``unable to perform the import or export operation because there are pending attribute changes or a configuration job is in progress``. Wait for the job to complete and run the task again.
- ome_configuration_compliance_info - Issue(195592) Module may error out with the message ``unable to process the request because an error occurred``. If the issue persists, report it to the system administrator.
- ome_smart_fabric - Issue(185322) Only three design types are supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular but the module successfully creates a fabric when the design type is not supported.
- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - Issue(186024) ome_smart_fabric_uplink module does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name even though this is supported by OpenManage Enterprise Modular. If an uplink is created using the same name as an existing uplink, the existing uplink is modified.
Breaking Changes
----------------
community.general
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you use Ansible 2.9 and these plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 3.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the DellEMC content by FQCN, like ``community.general.idrac_firmware``.
Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``dellemc.openmanage.idrac_firmware`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``dellemc.openmanage`` installed.
If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 4.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install the ``dellemc.openmanage`` collection if you are using any of these plugins or modules.
While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 3.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as dellemc.openmanage) must be installed for them to work.
- gitlab_deploy_key - if for an already existing key title a different public key was given as parameter nothing happened, now this changed so that the public key is updated to the new value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1661).
- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the alias (name) is changed. This was originally the intended behavior, but did not work due to a logic error. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on the old behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the passphrase is changed. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on the old behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
- one_image - use pyone instead of python-oca (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2032).
- utm_proxy_auth_profile - the ``frontend_cookie_secret`` return value now contains a placeholder string instead of the module's ``frontend_cookie_secret`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1736).
Major Changes
-------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ansible-test - Tests run with the ``centos6`` and ``default`` test containers now use a PyPI proxy container to access PyPI when Python 2.6 is used. This allows tests running under Python 2.6 to continue functioning even though PyPI is discontinuing support for non-SNI capable clients.
community.mysql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- mysql_replication - add deprecation warning that the ``Is_Slave`` and ``Is_Master`` return values will be replaced with ``Is_Primary`` and ``Is_Replica`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/147).
- mysql_replication - the choices of the ``state`` option containing ``master`` will be finally replaced with the alternative ``primary`` choices in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0, add deprecation warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/pull/150).
- mysql_replication - the return value ``Is_Slave`` and ``Is_Master`` will be replaced with ``Is_Replica`` and ``Is_Primary`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/145).
- mysql_replication - the word ``master`` in messages returned by the module will be replaced with ``primary`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/145).
- mysql_replication - the word ``slave`` in messages returned by the module replaced with ``replica`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/98).
- mysql_user - the ``REQUIRESSL`` is an alias for the ``ssl`` key in the ``tls_requires`` option in ``community.mysql`` 2.0.0 and support will be dropped altogether in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/121).
netapp.ontap
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- na_ontap_autosupport - Added REST support to the module.
Removed Features

If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer, redirections have been provided.
