 Starting with the 2.0.0 releases of amazon.aws and community.aws, it is generally the collection's policy to support the versions of `botocore` and `boto3` that were released 12 months prior to the most recent major collection release, following semantic versioning (for example, 2.0.0, 3.0.0).
 
-Version 7.0.0 of this collection supports `boto3 >= 1.26.0` and `botocore >= 1.29.0`
+Version 9.0.0 of this collection supports `boto3 >= 1.28.0` and `botocore >= 1.31.0`
 
 All support for the original AWS SDK `boto` was removed in release 4.0.0.

+breaking_changes:
+  - The community.aws collection has dropped support for ``botocore<1.31.0`` and
+    ``boto3<1.28.0``. 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/community.aws/pull/2195).
+deprecated_features:
+  - community.aws collection - due to the AWS SDKs announcing the end of support
+    for Python less than 3.8 (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/python-support-policy-updates-for-aws-sdks-and-tools/)
+    support for Python less than 3.8 by this collection has been deprecated
+    and will removed in release 10.0.0
+    (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/2195).
