Old style vars plugins which use the entrypoints get_host_vars or get_group_vars are deprecated. The plugin should be updated to inherit from BaseVarsPlugin and define a get_vars method as the entrypoint.
The ‘required’ parameter in ‘ansible.module_utils.common.process.get_bin_path’ API is deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82464).
module_utils - importing the following convenience helpers from ansible.module_utils.basic has been deprecated: get_exception, literal_eval, _literal_eval, datetime, signal, types, chain, repeat, PY2, PY3, b, binary_type, integer_types, iteritems, string_types, test_type, map and shlex_quote.
ansible-doc - role entrypoint attributes are deprecated and eventually will no longer be shown in ansible-doc from ansible-core 2.20 on (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82639, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/82678).
paramiko connection plugin, configuration items in the global scope are being deprecated and will be removed in favor or the existing same options in the plugin itself.

amazon.aws

iam_role_info - in a release after 2026-05-01 paths must begin and end with / (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1998).

community.crypto

openssl_csr_pipe, openssl_privatekey_pipe, x509_certificate_pipe - the current behavior of check mode is deprecated and will change in community.crypto 3.0.0. The current behavior is similar to the modules without _pipe: if the object needs to be (re-)generated, only the changed status is set, but the object is not updated. From community.crypto 3.0.0 on, the modules will ignore check mode and always act as if check mode is not active. This behavior can already achieved now by adding check_mode: false to the task. If you think this breaks your use-case of this module, please create an issue in the community.crypto repository (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/712, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/714).

community.general
