+ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+* Terraform Test command now accepts a -parallelism=n option, which sets the number of parallel operations in a test run's plan/apply operation. ([#34237](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34237))
+
+* Logical binary operators can now short-circuit ([#36224](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36224))
+
+* Terraform Test: Runs can now be annotated for possible parallel execution. ([#34180](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34180))
+
+* Allow terraform init when tests are present but no configuration files are directly inside the current directory ([#35040](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/35040))
+
+* Terraform Test: Continue subsequent test execution when an expected failure is not encountered. ([#34969](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34969))
+
+* Produce detailed diagnostic objects when test run assertions fail ([#34428](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34428))
+
+* Improved elapsed time display in UI Hook to show minutes and seconds in `mm:ss` format. ([#36368](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36368))
+
+
+BUG FIXES:
+
+* Refreshed state was not used in the plan for orphaned resource instances ([#36394](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36394))
+
+* Fixes malformed Terraform version error when the remote backend reads a remote workspace that specifies a Terraform version constraint. ([#36356](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36356))
+
+* Changes to the order of sensitive attributes in the state format would erroneously indicate a plan contained changes when there were none. ([#36465](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36465))
+
+* Avoid reporting duplicate attribute-associated diagnostics, such as "Available Write-only Attribute Alternative" ([#36579](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36579))
+
+* Fixes unintended exit of CLI when using the remote backend and applying with post-plan tasks configured in HCP Terraform ([#36655](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36655))
+
+
+UPGRADE NOTES:
+
+* On Linux, Terraform now requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later; support for previous versions has been discontinued. ([#36478](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36478))
