+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release includes some new features, bugfixes and breaking changes. Several modules have been migrated to amazon.aws and the Fully Qualified Collection Name for these modules needs to be updated. The community.aws collection has dropped support for botocore<1.31.0 and boto3<1.28.0. Due to the AWS SDKs announcing 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 was deprecated in this release and will be removed in release 10.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/2194).

+--------------------------------
+
+- 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).
+- autoscaling_instance_refresh - The module has been migrated from the ``community.aws`` collection. Playbooks using the Fully Qualified Collection Name for this module should be updated to use ``amazon.aws.autoscaling_instance_refresh`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/2177).
