- ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing documentation.
- ansible-test - Custom containers with ``VOLUME`` instructions may be unable to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the ``VOLUME`` instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause ``ansible-test`` to emit a warning.
- ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking issues to continue using ``ansible-test`` with Podman.
- ansible-test - Unit tests for collections do not support ``pytest`` assertion rewriting on Python 2.7.
- ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
- dnf5 - The DNF5 package manager currently does not provide all functionality to ensure feature parity between the existing ``dnf`` and the new ``dnf5`` module. As a result the following ``dnf5`` options are effectively a no-op: ``cacheonly``, ``enable_plugin``, ``disable_plugin`` and ``lock_timeout``.
cisco.meraki

- meraki_network - Updated documentation for `local_status_page_enabled` and `remote_status_page_enabled` as these no longer work.
community.docker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The modules and plugins using the vendored code from Docker SDK for Python currently do not work with requests 2.29.0 and/or urllib3 2.0.0. The same is currently true for the latest version of Docker SDK for Python itself (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/611, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/612).
- docker_api connection plugin - does **not work with TCP TLS sockets**! This is caused by the inability to send an ``close_notify`` TLS alert without closing the connection with Python's ``SSLSocket`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/605, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/621).
- docker_container_exec - does **not work with TCP TLS sockets** when the ``stdin`` option is used! This is caused by the inability to send an ``close_notify`` TLS alert without closing the connection with Python's ``SSLSocket`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/605, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/621).
Porting Guide for v8.0.0b1
==========================
community.routeros
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- api_modify - when limits for entries in ``queue tree`` are defined as human readable - for example ``25M`` -, the configuration will be correctly set in ROS, but the module will indicate the item is changed on every run even when there was no change done. This is caused by the ROS API which returns the number in bytes - for example ``25000000`` (which is inconsistent with the CLI behavior). In order to mitigate that, the limits have to be defined in bytes (those will still appear as human readable in the ROS CLI) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/131).
- api_modify, api_info - ``routing ospf area``, ``routing ospf area range``, ``routing ospf instance``, ``routing ospf interface-template`` paths are not fully implemeted for ROS6 due to the significat changes between ROS6 and ROS7 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/131).

- ome_smart_fabric_uplink - Issue(186024) - The module does not allow the creation of multiple uplinks of the same name even though it 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
----------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ansible-doc - no longer treat plugins in collections whose name starts with ``_`` as deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
- ansible-test - Integration tests which depend on specific file permissions when running in an ansible-test managed host environment may require changes. Tests that require permissions other than ``755`` or ``644`` may need to be updated to set the necessary permissions as part of the test run.
- ansible-test - The ``vcenter`` test plugin now defaults to using a user-provided static configuration instead of the ``govcsim`` simulator for collections. Set the ``ANSIBLE_VCSIM_CONTAINER`` environment variable to ``govcsim`` to use the simulator. Keep in mind that the simulator is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
- ansible-test sanity - previously plugins and modules in collections whose name started with ``_`` were treated as deprecated, even when they were not marked as deprecated in ``meta/runtime.yml``. This is no longer the case (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
- ansible-test validate-modules - Removed the ``missing-python-doc`` error code in validate modules, ``missing-documentation`` is used instead for missing PowerShell module documentation.

while these modules could work on Uyuni / SUSE Manager (fork of Spacewalk 5),
we have not heard about anyone using them in those setups. Hence, these
modules are deprecated, and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0
in case there are no reports about being still useful, and potentially

Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing documentation.
- ansible-test - Custom containers with ``VOLUME`` instructions may be unable to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the ``VOLUME`` instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause ``ansible-test`` to emit a warning.
- ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking issues to continue using ``ansible-test`` with Podman.
- ansible-test - Unit tests for collections do not support ``pytest`` assertion rewriting on Python 2.7.
- ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
- dnf5 - The DNF5 package manager currently does not provide all functionality to ensure feature parity between the existing ``dnf`` and the new ``dnf5`` module. As a result the following ``dnf5`` options are effectively a no-op: ``cacheonly``, ``enable_plugin``, ``disable_plugin`` and ``lock_timeout``.
cisco.meraki
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- meraki_network - Updated documentation for `local_status_page_enabled` and `remote_status_page_enabled` as these no longer work.
community.routeros
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- api_modify - when limits for entries in ``queue tree`` are defined as human readable - for example ``25M`` -, the configuration will be correctly set in ROS, but the module will indicate the item is changed on every run even when there was no change done. This is caused by the ROS API which returns the number in bytes - for example ``25000000`` (which is inconsistent with the CLI behavior). In order to mitigate that, the limits have to be defined in bytes (those will still appear as human readable in the ROS CLI) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/131).
- api_modify, api_info - ``routing ospf area``, ``routing ospf area range``, ``routing ospf instance``, ``routing ospf interface-template`` paths are not fully implemeted for ROS6 due to the significat changes between ROS6 and ROS7 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/131).

Breaking Changes
----------------
Ansible-core
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ansible-doc - no longer treat plugins in collections whose name starts with ``_`` as deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
- ansible-test - Integration tests which depend on specific file permissions when running in an ansible-test managed host environment may require changes. Tests that require permissions other than ``755`` or ``644`` may need to be updated to set the necessary permissions as part of the test run.
- ansible-test - The ``vcenter`` test plugin now defaults to using a user-provided static configuration instead of the ``govcsim`` simulator for collections. Set the ``ANSIBLE_VCSIM_CONTAINER`` environment variable to ``govcsim`` to use the simulator. Keep in mind that the simulator is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
- ansible-test sanity - previously plugins and modules in collections whose name started with ``_`` were treated as deprecated, even when they were not marked as deprecated in ``meta/runtime.yml``. This is no longer the case (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79362).
- ansible-test validate-modules - Removed the ``missing-python-doc`` error code in validate modules, ``missing-documentation`` is used instead for missing PowerShell module documentation.
ansible.netcommon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- NetworkConnectionBase now inherits from PersistentConnectionBase in ansible.utils. As a result, the minimum ansible.utils version has increased to 2.7.0.
- NetworkTemplate is no longer importable from ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common and should now be found at its proper location ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.rm_base.network_template

- VALID_MASKS, is_masklen, is_netmask, to_bits, to_ipv6_network, to_masklen, to_netmask, and to_subnet are no longer importable from ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.utils and should now be found at their proper location ansible.module_utils.common.network
hetzner.hcloud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- inventory plugin - Python v3.5+ is now required.

- firewall - Hetzner added output rules support to the firewall. This change unfortunately means that using old versions of the firewall module will always set the output rule list to empty, thus disallowing the server to send out packets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/issues/75, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/76).
community.postgresql
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
