 ## New Functionality
 
+(release-1-9.3)=
+### Release 1.9.3
+
+* Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) support in the [](module-lag)
+* Generic object (node, VRF, VLAN) groups
+* Global/node setting of default OSPF passive interface state
+
+**Minor improvements**
+
+* Support RFC 8950-style IPv4 next hops over regular IPv6 EBGP sessions
+* Add `--feature` flag to **netlab show modules** command to display support for a single optional feature
+* VRRP version plugin for gateway module
+* Refactor STP port priority to use IEEE values (0..15)
+* Make (some) device quirk errors configurable
+* Disable STP on libvirt-created bridges to avoid interference with the [](module-stp)
+
+(release-1.9.3--device-features)=
+**New device features**
+
+Arista EOS:
+* MLAG support
+
+Cumulus Linux:
+* RFC 8950-style IPv4 next hops over regular IPv6 EBGP sessions
+
+Cumulus NVUE:
+* VLAN, VRF, LAG and STP (including PVRST) support
+* VRF-aware OSPFv2
+* Reject OSPFv3 configuration (OSPFv3 cannot be configured through NVUE)
+
+Dell OS10:
+* LAG, MLAG and STP support
+* Use VRRPv2 (when requested by the VRRP version plugin) or VRRPv3 (default)
+
+FRR:
+* RFC 8950-style IPv4 next hops over regular IPv6 EBGP sessions
+
+SR Linux:
+* Switch to 24.10.1 release
+
+(release-1.9.3-device-fixes)=
+**Minor fixes in device configuration templates:**
+
+Cisco ASAv:
+* Add legacy SSH algorithms to **netlab_ssh_args** variable to connect to ASAv without changing the SSH configuration files
+
+Cumulus Linux:
+* Use **raw** and **script** modules to configure devices to avoid Python version mismatch reported by Ansible 11.x
+
+Cumulus NVUE:
+* Add support for multiple loopbacks and VRF loopbacks
+* Set default MTU to 1500 for all providers to enable interoperability with other OSPF implementations
+* Print a warning when using (outdated) Cumulus Linux 5.x containers
+* Use password variable in Vagrantfile provisioning script instead of a hardcoded value
+* Fix IPv6 LLA-only configuration
+* Fix OSPF configuration template
+* Set IBGP neighbor AS to 'internal' to pass route-reflector-client NVUE schema validation
+* Fix the configurable advertisement of BGP communities
+* Don't try to configure MTU on loopback interfaces
+
+Dell OS10:
+* Add a check for anycast gateways only being supported on SVI interfaces
+* Disable IPv6 on loopbacks when not configured
+* Fix trunk STP port priority
+* Disable IPv6 LLA on IPv4-only interfaces
+
+FRR:
+* Do not invoke the FRR template with the 'vrfs' node parameter
