### Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
-

#### Ansible\-core
* Any plugin using the config system and the cli entry to use the timeout from the command line\, will see the value change if the use had configured it in any of the lower precedence methods\. If relying on this behaviour to consume the global/generic timeout from the DEFAULT\_TIMEOUT constant\, please consult the documentation on plugin configuration to add the overlaping entries\.
* ansible\-test \- Test plugins that rely on containers no longer support reusing running containers\. The previous behavior was an undocumented\, untested feature\.
* service module will not permanently configure variables/flags for openbsd when doing enable/disable operation anymore\, this module was never meant to do this type of work\, just to manage the service state itself\. A rcctl\_config or similar module should be created and used instead\.

* The amazon\.aws collection has dropped support for botocore\<1\.29\.0 and boto3\<1\.26\.0\.

+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+community.ciscosmb
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- in facts of interface 'bandwith' changed to 'bandwidth'
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+amazon.aws
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- cloudformation - the ``template`` parameter has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2026-05-01. The ``template_body`` parameter can be used in conjungtion with the lookup plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2048).
+- module_utils.botocore - the ``boto3`` parameter for ``get_aws_connection_info()`` will be removed in a release after 2025-05-01. The ``boto3`` parameter has been ignored since release 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2047).
+- module_utils.botocore - the ``boto3`` parameter for ``get_aws_region()`` will be removed in a release after 2025-05-01. The ``boto3`` parameter has been ignored since release 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2047).
+- module_utils.ec2 - the ``boto3`` parameter for ``get_ec2_security_group_ids_from_names()`` will be removed in a release after 2025-05-01. The ``boto3`` parameter has been ignored since release 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2047).
+
+community.crypto
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- 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).
+
+community.docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- docker_compose - the Docker Compose v1 module is deprecated and will be removed from community.docker 4.0.0. Please migrate to the ``community.docker.docker_compose_v2`` module, which works with Docker Compose v2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/823, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/833).
+- various modules and plugins - the ``ssl_version`` option has been deprecated and will be removed from community.docker 4.0.0. It has already been removed from Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0, and was only necessary in the past to work around SSL/TLS issues (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/853).
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+community.grafana
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- removed deprecated `message` argument in `grafana_dashboard`
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+community.general
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- keycloak_identity_provider - the client secret was not correctly sanitized by the module. The return values ``proposed``, ``existing``, and ``end_state``, as well as the diff, did contain the client secret unmasked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8355).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+Ansible-core
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Add a version ceiling constraint for pypsrp to avoid potential breaking changes in the 1.0.0 release.
+- Fix NEVRA parsing of package names that include digit(s) in them (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76463, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81018)
+- Fix handlers not being executed in lockstep using the linear strategy in some cases (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82307)
+- Give the tombstone error for ``include`` pre-fork like other tombstoned action/module plugins.
+- Include the task location when a module or action plugin is deprecated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82450).
+- Mirror the behavior of dnf on the command line when handling NEVRAs with omitted epoch (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71808)
+- ansible-test - Automatically enable the PyPI proxy for the ``centos7`` container to restore the ability to use ``pip`` in that container.
+- ansible_managed restored it's 'templatability' by ensuring the possible injection routes are cut off earlier in the process.
+- assemble - fixed missing parameter 'content' in _get_diff_data API (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82359).
+- dnf - fix an issue when installing a package by specifying a file it provides could result in installing a different package providing the same file than the package already installed resulting in resolution failure (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82461)

==========
+Porting Guide for v9.6.0
+========================
+
+Added Collections
+-----------------
+
+- kaytus.ksmanage (version 1.2.1)
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+community.docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Please note that the fix for requests 2.32.0 included in community.docker 3.10.1 only
+ fixes problems with the *vendored* Docker SDK for Python code. Modules and plugins that
+ use Docker SDK for Python can still fail due to the SDK currently being incompatible
+ with requests 2.32.0.
+
+ If you still experience problems with requests 2.32.0, such as error messages like
+ ``Not supported URL scheme http+docker``, please restrict requests to ``<2.32.0``.
+

+

+-------------------

+- module_utils.botocore - the ``boto3`` parameter for ``get_aws_connection_info()`` will be removed in a release after 2025-05-01. The ``boto3`` parameter has been ignored since release 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2047).
+- module_utils.botocore - the ``boto3`` parameter for ``get_aws_region()`` will be removed in a release after 2025-05-01. The ``boto3`` parameter has been ignored since release 4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2047).

+
+community.crypto
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- 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).
+
+community.docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- docker_compose - the Docker Compose v1 module is deprecated and will be removed from community.docker 4.0.0. Please migrate to the ``community.docker.docker_compose_v2`` module, which works with Docker Compose v2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/823, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/833).
+- various modules and plugins - the ``ssl_version`` option has been deprecated and will be removed from community.docker 4.0.0. It has already been removed from Docker SDK for Python 7.0.0, and was only necessary in the past to work around SSL/TLS issues (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/853).
