 - ansible-test - At startup the filesystem encoding is checked to verify it is UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding.
 - ansible-test - At startup the locale is configured as ``en_US.UTF-8``, with a fallback to ``C.UTF-8``. If neither encoding is available the process exits with an error. If the fallback is used, a warning is displayed. In previous versions the ``en_US.UTF-8`` locale was always requested.

 - ansible-test - Test containers are now run with the ``--tmpfs`` option for ``/tmp``, ``/run`` and ``/run/lock``. This allows use of containers built without the ``VOLUME`` instruction. Additionally, containers with those volumes defined no longer create anonymous volumes for them. This avoids leaving behind volumes on the container host after the container is stopped and deleted.
 - ansible-test - The ``shell`` command no longer redirects all output to stdout when running a provided command. Any command output written to stderr will be mixed with the stderr output from ansible-test.
 - ansible-test - The ``shell`` command no longer requests a TTY when using delegation unless an interactive shell is being used. An interactive shell is the default behavior when no command is given to pass to the shell.

 - if a config setting prevents running ansible it should at least show it's "origin".

 - local facts - if a local fact in the facts directory cannot be stated, store an error message as the fact value and emit a warning just as if just as if the facts execution has failed. The stat can fail e.g. on dangling symlinks.
 - lookup plugin - catch KeyError when lookup returns dictionary (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77789).
 - module_utils - Make distro.id() report newer versions of OpenSuSE (at least >=15) also report as ``opensuse``. They report themselves as ``opensuse-leap``.
 - module_utils.service - daemonize - Avoid modifying the list of file descriptors while iterating over it.
 - null_representation config entry changed to 'raw' as it must allow 'none/null' and empty string.
+- omit on keywords was resetting to default value, ignoring inheritance.
 - paramiko - Add a new option to allow paramiko >= 2.9 to easily work with all devices now that rsa-sha2 support was added to paramiko, which prevented communication with numerous platforms. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76737)

 - password lookup does not ignore k=v arguments anymore.
 - pause module will now report proper 'echo' vs always being true.
 - pip - fix cases where resolution of pip Python module fails when importlib.util has not already been imported
 - plugin loader - Sort results when fuzzy matching plugin names (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77966).
 - plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (fqcn + short name).
+- plugin loader, fix detection for existing configuration before initializing for a plugin
 - plugin loader, now when skipping a plugin due to an abstract method error we provide that in 'verbose' mode instead of totally obscuring the error. The current implementation assumed only the base classes would trigger this and failed to consider 'in development' plugins.
 - prevent lusermod from using group name instead of group id (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77914)
 - prevent type annotation shim failures from causing runtime failures (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77860)
 - psrp connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly.
