The changelog contains all changes since 12.0.0. Version 13.0.0 no longer supports ansible-core 2.17, and all module utils, plugin utils, and doc fragments are now private to the collection, and are no longer considered part of the public API. Please check the changelog for more breaking changes and removed features.
> - community.general 12.6.1 ([community.general/CHANGELOG.md at stable-12 · ansible-collections/community.general · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/stable-12/CHANGELOG.md#v12-6-1)) is a regular bugfix release.

From now on, there will only be new 11.x.y releases for major bugfixes or security fixes.
> - community.general 10.7.9 ([community.general/CHANGELOG.md at stable-10 · ansible-collections/community.general · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/stable-10/CHANGELOG.md#v10-7-9)) is a last maintenance release.

Support core packaging operations against older python versions in ansible core 2.21 that will fix dnf on rhel8.

THANK YOU!
