+v2.11.0b3
+=========
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+| Release Date: 2021-03-19
+| `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__
+
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- AnsibleModule - use ``ArgumentSpecValidator`` class for validating argument spec and remove private methods related to argument spec validation. Any modules using private methods should now use the ``ArgumentSpecValidator`` class or the appropriate validation function.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Callbacks - Migrate more places in the ``TaskExecutor`` to sending callbacks directly over the queue, instead of sending them as ``TaskResult`` and short circuiting in the Strategy to send the callback. This enables closer to real time callbacks of retries and loop results (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73899)
+- setup - fix distribution facts for Older Amazon Linux with ``/etc/os-release`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73946).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix adding unrelated candidate names to the plugin loader redirect list.
+- Strategy - When building the task in the Strategy from the Worker, ensure it is properly marked as finalized and squashed. Addresses an issue with ``ansible_failed_task``. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/57399)
+- ansible-pull - Run all playbooks that when multiple are supplied via the command line (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72708)
+- find module, fix default pattern when use_regex is true.
