+- amazon.aws collection - The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for
+  ``botocore<1.19.0`` and ``boto3<1.16.0``. 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).
