+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This major release brings several new features, bug fixes, and deprecated features. It also includes the removal of several modules that have been migrated to the ``amazon.aws`` collection. We have also removed support for ``ansible-core<2.15``.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- api_gateway - use fstrings where appropriate (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1962).
+- api_gateway_info - use fstrings where appropriate (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1962).
+- community.aws collection - apply isort code formatting to ensure consistent formatting of code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1962)
+- ecs_taskdefinition - Add parameter ``runtime_platform`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1891).
+- eks_nodegroup - ensure wait also waits for deletion to complete when ``wait==True`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1994).
+- elb_network_lb - add support for Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) policy ``AlpnPolicy`` for TLS listeners (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1566).
+- elb_network_lb - add the possibly to update ``SslPolicy`` and ``Certificates`` for TLS listeners ().
+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- The community.aws collection has dropped support for ``botocore<1.29.0`` and ``boto3<1.26.0``. Most modules will continue to work with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatability 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/1763).
+- aws_region_info - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.aws_region_info``.
+- aws_s3_bucket_info - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.aws_s3_bucket_info``.
+- community.aws collection - Support for ansible-core < 2.15 has been dropped (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/2074).
+- community.aws collection - due to the AWS SDKs announcing the end of support for Python less than 3.7 (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/python-support-policy-updates-for-aws-sdks-and-tools/) support for Python less than 3.7 by this collection wss been deprecated in release 6.0.0 and removed in release 7.0.0. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1763).
+- iam_access_key - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_access_key``.
+- iam_access_key_info - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_access_key_info``.
+- iam_group - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_group`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1945).
+- iam_managed_policy - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_managed_policy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1954).
+- iam_mfa_device_info - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_mfa_device_info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1953).
+- iam_password_policy - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_password_policy``.
+- iam_role - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_role`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1948).
+- iam_role_info - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.iam_role_info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1948).
+- s3_bucket_info - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.s3_bucket_info``.
+- sts_assume_role - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.sts_assume_role``.
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- aws_glue_connection - updated the deprecation for removal of the ``connection_parameters`` return key from ``after 2024-06-01`` to release version ``9.0.0``, it is being replaced by the ``raw_connection_parameters`` key (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/518).
+- ecs_cluster - updated the deprecation for updated default of ``purge_capacity_providers``, the current default of ``False`` will be changed to ``True`` in release ``9.0.0``.  To maintain the current behaviour explicitly set ``purge_capacity_providers=False`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1640).
+- ecs_service - updated the deprecation for updated default of ``purge_placement_constraints``, the current default of ``False`` will be changed to ``True`` in release ``9.0.0``.  To maintain the current behaviour explicitly set ``purge_placement_constraints=False`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1716).
+- ecs_service - updated the deprecation for updated default of ``purge_placement_strategy``, the current default of ``False`` will be changed to ``True`` in release ``9.0.0``.  To maintain the current behaviour explicitly set ``purge_placement_strategy=False`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1716).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- mq_broker - ensure broker is created with ``tags`` when passed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/1832).
+- opensearch - Don't try to read a non existing key from the domain config (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1910).
