---------------

This major release brings a new set of supported modules that have been promoted from community.aws, several bugfixes, minor changes and deprecated features.

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------

- The amazon.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).
- amazon.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).
- 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).

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).
- ec2_eip - the previously deprecated ``instance_id`` alias for the ``device_id`` parameter has been removed. Please use the ``device_id`` parameter name instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1176).
- ec2_instance - the default value for ``instance_type`` has been removed. At least one of ``instance_type`` or ``launch_template`` must be specified when launching new instances (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1315).

- ec2_vpc_endpoint - the ``policy_file`` parameter has been removed.  I(policy) with a file lookup can be used instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1178).

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------

- ec2_instance - instance wait for state behaviour has changed.  If plays require the old behavior of waiting for the instance monitoring status to become ``OK`` when launching a new instance, the action will need to specify ``state: started`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/481).
- ec2_snapshot - support for waiting indefinitely has been dropped, new default is 10 minutes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/356).
- ec2_vol_info - return ``attachment_set`` is now a list of attachments with Multi-Attach support on disk. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/362).
- ec2_vpc_dhcp_option - The module has been refactored to use boto3. Keys and value types returned by the module are now consistent, which is a change from the previous behaviour. A ``purge_tags`` option has been added, which defaults to ``True``.  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/252)
- ec2_vpc_dhcp_option_info - Now preserves case for tag keys in return value. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/252)
- module_utils.core - The boto3 switch has been removed from the region parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/287).
- module_utils/compat - vendored copy of ipaddress removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/461).
- module_utils/core - updated the ``scrub_none_parameters`` function so that ``descend_into_lists`` is set to ``True`` by default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/297).

Deprecated Features
-------------------

- ec2 - the boto based ``ec2`` module has been deprecated in favour of the boto3 based ``ec2_instance`` module. The ``ec2`` module will be removed in release 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/424).
- ec2_vpc_dhcp_option - The ``new_config`` return key has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  It will be replaced by ``dhcp_config``.  Both values are returned in the interim. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/252)

Bugfixes
--------

- aws_s3 - Fix upload permission when an S3 bucket ACL policy requires a particular canned ACL (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/318)
- ec2_ami - Fix ami issue when creating an ami with no_device parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/386)

- ec2_snapshot - Fix snapshot issue when capturing a snapshot of a volume without tags (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/383)

- ec2_vol - fix iops setting and enforce iops/throughput parameters usage (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/334)
- inventory - ``include_filters`` won't be ignored anymore if ``filters`` is not set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/457).
- s3_bucket - Fix error handling when attempting to set a feature that is not implemented (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/391).
- s3_bucket - Gracefully handle ``NotImplemented`` exceptions when fetching encryption settings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/390).
