v11.5.0

Minor Changes

• Remediate deprecated warnings parameter in exit_json calls by using emit_warnings from ansible.netcommon across cisco.ios modules to address deprecation warning from ansible-core 2.23.
• Remove ansible.module_utils.six usage in favour of Python 3 builtins to prepare for ansible-core 2.24 removal.
• Replace deprecated ansible.module_utils._text imports with ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters.
• Replace deprecated ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat with collections.abc from the Python standard library.
• Updated all ResourceModule-based resource modules to emit warnings via AnsibleModule.warn() before calling exit_json.
• Updated standalone modules (ios_banner, ios_command, ios_config, ios_facts, ios_ping, ios_system, ios_user, ios_vrf) to emit warnings via AnsibleModule.warn() before calling exit_json.

Bugfixes

• ios_acls - Fixed ACL option fields with multi-word names (e.g, any_options, stream_id , no_op) failing due to missing underscore to hyphen conversion and vice-versa in setval and getval respectively
