+
+v7.0.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This major release brings a new set of supported modules that have been promoted from community.aws, several bugfixes, minor changes and deprecated features. We also dropped support for ``botocore<1.29.0`` and ``boto3<1.26.0``. 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 was deprecated in release 6.0.0 and removed in this release.

+- module_utils - ``module_utils.urls`` was previously deprecated and has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1540).
+- module_utils._version - vendored copy of distutils.version has been dropped (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1587).

+--------
+
+- backup_plan - Use existing ``scrub_none_values`` function from module_utils to remove None values from nested dicts in supplied params. Nested None values were being retained and causing an error when sent through to the boto3 client operation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1611).
+- backup_vault - fix error when updating tags on a backup vault by using the correct boto3 client methods for tagging and untagging backup resources (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1610).
+- cloudwatchevent_rule - Fixes changed status to report False when no change has been made. The module had incorrectly always reported a change. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1589)
+- ec2_vpc_nat_gateway - adding a boolean parameter called ``default_create`` to allow users to have the option to choose whether they want to display an error message or create a NAT gateway when an EIP address is not found. The module (ec2_vpc_nat_gateway) had incorrectly failed silently if EIP didn't exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1295).
+- ec2_vpc_nat_gateway - fixes to nat gateway so that when the user creates a private NAT gateway, an Elastic IP address should not be allocated. The module had inncorrectly always allocate elastic IP address when creating private nat gateway (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1632).
+- lambda_execute - Fixes to the stack trace output, where it does not contain spaces between each character. The module had incorrectly always outputted extra spaces between each character. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1615)
+- module_utils.backup - get_selection_details fix empty list returned when multiple backup selections exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1633).

+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for ``botocore<1.25.0`` and ``boto3<1.22.0``. Most modules will continue to work with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatibility 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/1342).
+- amazon.aws - compatibility code for Python < 3.6 has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1257).

- module_utils - support for the original AWS SDK ``boto`` has been deprecated in favour of the ``boto3``/``botocore`` SDK. All ``boto`` based modules have either been deprecated or migrated to ``botocore``, and the remaining support code in module_utils will be removed in release 4.0.0 of the amazon.aws collection. Any modules outside of the amazon.aws and community.aws collections based on the ``boto`` library will need to be migrated to the ``boto3``/``botocore`` libraries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/575).
