+v4.0.0
+======
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- amazon.aws collection - The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for ``botocore<1.20.0`` and ``boto3<1.17.0``. 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/574).

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

+- Tags beginning with ``aws:`` will not be removed when purging tags, these tags are reserved by Amazon and may not be updated or deleted (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/817).

+- aws_s3 - the default value for ``ensure overwrite`` has been changed to ``different`` instead of ``always`` so that the module is idempotent by default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/811).
+- aws_ssm - on_denied and on_missing now both default to error, for consistency with both aws_secret and the base Lookup class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/617).
