+### Release Summary
+
+Feature and bugfix release\.
+
+The deprecations in this release are only relevant for collections that use shared
+code or docs fragments from this collection\.
+
+<a id="minor-changes"></a>
+### Minor Changes
+
+* acme\_certificate \- add <code>include\_renewal\_cert\_id</code> option to allow requesting renewal of a specific certificate according to the current ACME Renewal Information specification draft \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/739](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/739)\)\.
+
+<a id="deprecated-features"></a>
+### Deprecated Features
+
+* acme documentation fragment \- the default <code>community\.crypto\.acme\[\.documentation\]</code> docs fragment is deprecated and will be removed from community\.crypto 3\.0\.0\. Replace it with both the new <code>community\.crypto\.acme\.basic</code> and <code>community\.crypto\.acme\.account</code> fragments \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/735](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/735)\)\.
+* acme\.backends module utils \- the <code>get\_cert\_information\(\)</code> method for a ACME crypto backend must be implemented from community\.crypto 3\.0\.0 on \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/736](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/736)\)\.
+* crypto\.module\_backends\.common module utils \- the <code>crypto\.module\_backends\.common</code> module utils is deprecated and will be removed from community\.crypto 3\.0\.0\.

+
+<a id="bugfixes"></a>
+### Bugfixes
+
+* x509\_crl\, x509\_certificate\, x509\_certificate\_info \- when parsing absolute timestamps which omitted the second count\, the first digit of the minutes was used as a one\-digit minutes count\, and the second digit of the minutes as a one\-digit second count \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/745](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/745)\)\.

+* ecs\_certificate \- fixed <code>csr</code> option to be empty and allow renewal of a specific certificate according to the Renewal Information specification \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/740](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/740)\)\.
+* x509\_certificate \- since community\.crypto 2\.19\.0 the module was no longer idempotent with respect to <code>not\_before</code> and <code>not\_after</code> times\. This is now fixed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/753](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/753)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/754](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/754)\)\.

The default is as integers \(<code>serial\_numbers\=integer</code>\) for backwards compatibility\; setting <code>serial\_numbers\=hex\-octets</code> allows to specify colon\-separated hex octet strings like <code>00\:11\:22\:FF</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/687](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/687)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/715](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/715)\)\.

 ### Deprecated Features
 
 * 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 <code>\_pipe</code>\: if the object needs to be \(re\-\)generated\, only the <code>changed</code> 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 <code>check\_mode\: false</code> 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/new/choose) \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/712](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/712)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/714](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/714)\)\.

+v2.20.0
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Feature and bugfix release.
+
+The deprecations in this release are only relevant for collections that use shared
+code or docs fragments from this collection.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- acme_certificate - add ``include_renewal_cert_id`` option to allow requesting renewal of a specific certificate according to the current ACME Renewal Information specification draft (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/739).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- acme documentation fragment - the default ``community.crypto.acme[.documentation]`` docs fragment is deprecated and will be removed from community.crypto 3.0.0. Replace it with both the new ``community.crypto.acme.basic`` and ``community.crypto.acme.account`` fragments (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/735).
+- acme.backends module utils - the ``get_cert_information()`` method for a ACME crypto backend must be implemented from community.crypto 3.0.0 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/736).
+- crypto.module_backends.common module utils - the ``crypto.module_backends.common`` module utils is deprecated and will be removed from community.crypto 3.0.0. Use the improved ``argspec`` module util instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/749).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- x509_crl, x509_certificate, x509_certificate_info - when parsing absolute timestamps which omitted the second count, the first digit of the minutes was used as a one-digit minutes count, and the second digit of the minutes as a one-digit second count (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/745).
+
+New Modules
+-----------
+
+- community.crypto.acme_ari_info - Retrieves ACME Renewal Information (ARI) for a certificate.
+- community.crypto.acme_certificate_deactivate_authz - Deactivate all authz for an ACME v2 order.
+- community.crypto.acme_certificate_renewal_info - Determine whether a certificate should be renewed or not.
+
+v2.19.1
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- crypto.math module utils - change return values for ``quick_is_not_prime()`` and ``convert_int_to_bytes(0, 0)`` for special cases that do not appear when using the collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/733).
+- ecs_certificate - fixed ``csr`` option to be empty and allow renewal of a specific certificate according to the Renewal Information specification (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/740).
+- x509_certificate - since community.crypto 2.19.0 the module was no longer idempotent with respect to ``not_before`` and ``not_after`` times. This is now fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/753, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/754).

+      - V(when_ari_supported) only sends the certificate ID if the ARI endpoint is found in the ACME directory.
+      - Generally you should use V(when_ari_supported) if you know that the ACME service supports a compatible
+        draft (or final version, once it is out) of the ARI extension. V(always) should never be necessary.
+        If you are not sure, or if you receive strange errors on invalid C(replaces) values in order objects,
+        use V(never), which also happens to be the default.
+      - ACME servers might refuse to create new orders with C(replaces) for certificates that already have an
+        existing order. This can happen if this module is used to create an order, and then the playbook/role
+        fails in case the challenges cannot be set up. If the playbook/role does not record the order data to
+        continue with the existing order, but tries to create a new one on the next run, creating the new order
+        might fail. For this reason, this option should only be set to a value different from V(never) if the
+        role/playbook using it keeps track of order data accross restarts, or if it takes care to deactivate
+        orders whose processing is aborted. Orders can be deactivated with the
+        M(community.crypto.acme_certificate_deactivate_authz) module.
