 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!

 Ansible-core
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ansible-doc - no longer treat plugins in collections whose name starts with ``_`` as deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79217).
+- 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.
 amazon.aws
 ~~~~~~~~~~
 - The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for ``botocore<1.25.0`` and ``boto3<1.22.0``. Most modules will continue to work with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatibility with older versions of the SDK is not guaranteed and will not be tested. When using older versions of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1342).
 - amazon.aws - compatibility code for Python < 3.6 has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1257).
 - ec2_eip - the previously deprecated ``instance_id`` alias for the ``device_id`` parameter has been removed. Please use the ``device_id`` parameter name instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1176).
 - ec2_instance - the default value for ``instance_type`` has been removed. At least one of ``instance_type`` or ``launch_template`` must be specified when launching new instances (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1315).
 - ec2_vpc_dhcp_options - the ``new_options`` return value has been deprecated after being renamed to ``dhcp_config``.  Please use the ``dhcp_config`` or ``dhcp_options`` return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1327).
 - ec2_vpc_endpoint - the ``policy_file`` parameter has been removed.  I(policy) with a file lookup can be used instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1178).
 - ec2_vpc_net - the ``classic_link_enabled`` return value has been removed. Support for EC2 Classic networking was dropped by AWS (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1374).
 - ec2_vpc_net_info - the ``classic_link_dns_status`` return value has been removed. Support for EC2 Classic networking was dropped by AWS (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1374).
 - ec2_vpc_net_info - the ``classic_link_enabled`` return value has been removed. Support for EC2 Classic networking was dropped by AWS (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1374).

When using older versions of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1743).
 - aws_ssm - the AWS SSM plugin was incorrectly prepending ``sudo`` to most commands.  This behaviour was incorrect and has been removed. To execute commands as a specific user, including the ``root`` user, the ``become`` and ``become_user`` directives should be used.  See the `Ansible documentation for more information <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_privilege_escalation.html>`_ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/853).
 - codebuild_project - ``tags`` parameter now accepts a dict representing the tags, rather than the boto3 format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1643).
 community.general
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 - If you are not using this collection as part of Ansible, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.sap_libs`` if you are using any of the ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query`` modules.
  Without that collection installed, the redirects for these modules do not work.
 - ModuleHelper module utils - when the module sets output variables named ``msg``, ``exception``, ``output``, ``vars``, or ``changed``, the actual output will prefix those names with ``_`` (underscore symbol) only when they clash with output variables generated by ModuleHelper itself, which only occurs when handling exceptions. Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release, it was not possible to add such variables to the output `due to a bug <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755>`__ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5765).
 - gconftool2 - fix processing of ``gconftool-2`` when ``key`` does not exist, returning ``null`` instead of empty string for both ``value`` and ``previous_value`` return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6028).
 - gitlab_runner - the default of ``access_level_on_creation`` changed from ``false`` to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
 - ldap_search - convert all string-like values to UTF-8 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5704, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6473).
 - nmcli - the default of the ``hairpin`` option changed from ``true`` to ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
 - proxmox - the default of the ``unprivileged`` option changed from ``false`` to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
 community.hashi_vault

 - The minimum version of ``hvac`` for ``community.hashi_vault`` is now ``1.1.0`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/324).
 - hashi_vault lookup - duplicate option entries in the term string now raises an exception instead of a warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/356).

 - rhn_channel, rhn_register - RHN hosted at redhat.com was discontinued years
  ago, and Spacewalk 5 (which uses RHN) is EOL since 2020, May 31st;
  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
  noone that steps up to maintain them
  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6493).
