+bugfixes:
+- route53 - fix typo in waiter configuration that prevented management of the delays (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/564).
+minor_changes:
+- route53 - add retries on ``PriorRequestNotComplete`` errors (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/564).
+- route53 - update retry ``max_delay`` setting so that it can be set above 60 seconds (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/564).
+- route53 - add rate-limiting retries while waiting for changes to propagate (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/564).
