+dellemc.openmanage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- idrac_user - Issue(192043) The module may error out with the message ``unable to perform the import or export operation because there are pending attribute changes or a configuration job is in progress``. Wait for the job to complete and run the task again.
+- ome_application_alerts_syslog - Issue(215374) - The module does not provide a proper error message if the destination_address is more than 255 characters.
+- ome_device_network_services - Issue(212681) - The module does not provide a proper error message if unsupported values are provided for the parameters- port_number, community_name, max_sessions, max_auth_retries, and idle_timeout.
+- ome_device_power_settings - Issue(212679) - The module displays the following message if the value provided for the parameter ``power_cap`` is not within the supported range of 0 to 32767, ``Unable to complete the request because PowerCap does not exist or is not applicable for the resource URI.``

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Removed support for ansible-core version < 2.13.0.
+- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Add a new sub-option `inherited` to the `in_traffic_shaping` parameter.

+- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Remove support for vSphere API less than 6.7.
+- vmware_dvs_portgroup - Remove the default for `network_policy` and add a new sub-option `inherited`. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter, but also that you have to define the setting as not `inherited` if you want to override it at the PG level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
