+Porting Guide for v11.12.0
+==========================
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+community.sops
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- When using the ``community.sops.load_vars`` with ansible-core 2.20, note that the deprecation of ``INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS`` causes deprecation warnings to be shown every time a variable loaded with ``community.sops.load_vars`` is used. This is due to ansible-core deprecating ``INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS`` without providing an alternative for modules like ``community.sops.load_vars`` to use. If you do not like these deprecation warnings, you have to explicitly set ``INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS`` to ``true``. **DO NOT** change the use of SOPS encrypted variables to ``ansible_facts``. The situation will hopefully improve in ansible-core 2.21 through the promised API that allows action plugins to set variables; community.sops will adapt to use it, which will make the warning go away. (The API was originally promised for ansible-core 2.20, but then delayed.)

+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- The ``community.digitalocean`` collection has been deprecated.
+  It will be removed from Ansible 13 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 13.
+  See `Collections Removal Process for unmaintained collections <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#unmaintained-collections>`__ for more details (`https://forum.ansible.com/t/44602 <https://forum.ansible.com/t/44602>`__).
+
+community.hrobot
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- storagebox\* modules - membership in the ``community.hrobot.robot`` action group (module defaults group) is deprecated; the modules will be removed from the group in community.hrobot 3.0.0. Use ``community.hrobot.api`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
+- storagebox\* modules - the ``hetzner_token`` option for these modules will be required from community.hrobot 3.0.0 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
+- storagebox\* modules - the ``hetzner_user`` and ``hetzner_pass`` options for these modules are deprecated; support will be removed in community.hrobot 3.0.0. Use ``hetzner_token`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
+- storagebox_info - the ``storageboxes[].login``, ``storageboxes[].disk_quota``, ``storageboxes[].disk_usage``, ``storageboxes[].disk_usage_data``, ``storageboxes[].disk_usage_snapshot``, ``storageboxes[].webdav``, ``storageboxes[].samba``, ``storageboxes[].ssh``, ``storageboxes[].external_reachability``, and ``storageboxes[].zfs`` return values are deprecated and will be removed from community.routeros. Check out the documentation to find out their new names according to the new API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
+- storagebox_snapshot_info - the ``snapshots[].timestamp``, ``snapshots[].size``, ``snapshots[].filesystem_size``, ``snapshots[].automatic``, and ``snapshots[].comment`` return values are deprecated and will be removed from community.routeros. Check out the documentation to find out their new names according to the new API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
+- storagebox_snapshot_plan - the ``plans[].month`` return value is deprecated, since it only returns ``null`` with the new API and cannot be set to any other value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
+- storagebox_snapshot_plan_info - the ``plans[].month`` return value is deprecated, since it only returns ``null`` with the new API and cannot be set to any other value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
+- storagebox_subaccount - ``password_mode=set-to-random`` is deprecated and will be removed from community.hrobot 3.0.0. Hetzner's new API does not support this anyway, it can only be used with the legacy API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/183).
+- storagebox_subaccount - the ``subaccount.homedirectory``, ``subaccount.samba``, ``subaccount.ssh``, ``subaccount.external_reachability``, ``subaccount.webdav``, ``subaccount.readonly``, ``subaccount.createtime``, and ``subaccount.comment`` return values are deprecated and will be removed from community.routeros.

Check out the documentation to find out their new names according to the new API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/178).
