+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+| Release Date: 2022-10-03
+| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__
+
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- ansible-test validate-modules - Added support for validating module documentation stored in a sidecar file alongside the module (``{module}.yml`` or ``{module}.yaml``). Previously these files were ignored and documentation had to be placed in ``{module}.py``.
+- apt_repository will use the trust repo directories in order of preference (more appropriate to less) as they exist on the target.
+
