+=======
+v5.3.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release brings some minor changes, bugfixes, and deprecated features.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- ec2_instance - more consistently return ``instances`` information (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/964).
+- ec2_instance - remove unused import (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1350).
+- ec2_key - Add unit-tests coverage (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1288).
+- ec2_vpc_nat_gateway - ensure allocation_id is defined before potential access (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1350).
+- route53_zone - added support for associating multiple VPCs to route53 hosted zones (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1300).
+- s3_bucket - add option to support creation of buckets with object lock enabled (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1372).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- support for passing both profile and security tokens through a mix of environment variables and parameters has been deprecated and support will be removed in release 6.0.0. After release 6.0.0 it will only be possible to pass either a profile or security tokens, regardless of mechanism used to pass them.  To explicitly block a parameter coming from an environment variable pass an empty string as the parameter value.  Support for passing profile and security tokens together was originally deprecated in release 1.2.0, however only partially implemented in release 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1355).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- cloudtrail - support to disabling encryption using ``kms_key_id`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1384).
+- ec2_key - fix issue when trying to update existing key pair with the same key material (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1383).
+- module_utils/elbv2 - fix change detection by adding default values for ``Scope`` and ``SessionTimeout`` parameters in ``authenticate-oidc`` rules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1270).
+- module_utils/elbv2 - respect ``UseExistingClientSecret`` parameter in ``authenticate-oidc`` rules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1270).
+- revert breaking change introduced in 5.2.0 when passing credentials through a mix of environment variables and parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1353).
+- s3_bucket - empty bucket policy was throwing a JSONDecodeError - deal with it gracefully instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1368)
+
+v5.2.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+A minor release containing bugfixes for the ``ec2_eni_info`` module and the ``aws_rds`` inventory plugin, as well as improvements to the ``rds_instance`` module.
+
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- amazon.aws collection - refacterization of code to use argument specification ``fallback`` when falling back to environment variables for security credentials and AWS connection details (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1174).
+- rds_instance - Split up the integration test-suite in a series of smaller tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1185).
+- rds_instance - add support for gp3 storage type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1266).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- aws_rds - fixes bug in RDS inventory plugin where config file was ignored (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1304).
+- lambda - fix flaky integration test which assumes there are no other lambdas in the account (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/1277)
+
