  9.1.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
        - Added a test to validate the gathered state for VLAN configuration context,
          improving reliability.
        - Cleaned up unit tests that were passing for the wrong reasons. The updated
          tests now ensure the right config sections are verified for VLAN configurations.
        - Fix overridden state operations to ensure excluded VLANs in the provided configuration
          are removed, thus overriding the VLAN configuration.
        - Fix purged state operation to enable users to completely remove VLAN configurations.
        - Fixed an issue with VLAN configuration gathering where pre-filled data was
          blocking proper fetching of dynamic VLAN details. Now VLAN facts are populated
          correctly for all cases.
        - Fixes an issue with facts gathering failing when an sub interface is in a
          deleted state.
        - Improve documentation to provide clarity on the "shutdown" variable.
        - Improve unit tests to align with the changes made.
        - Made improvements to ensure VLAN facts are gathered properly, both for specific
          configurations and general VLAN settings.
        - ios_route_maps - Fix removal of ACLs in replaced state to properly remove
          unspecified ACLs while leaving specified ones intact.
        - ios_route_maps - Fix removal of ACLs logic in replaced state to properly remove
          unspecified ACLs while leaving specified ones intact.

  9.2.0:
    changes:
      bugfixes:
        - ios_logging_global - Fixed issue where cisco.ios.logging_global module was
          not showing idempotent behaviour when trap was set to informational.
        - ios_vlans - Defaut mtu would be captured (1500) and no configuration for mtu
          is allowed via ios_vlans module.
        - ios_vlans - Fixed an issue in the `cisco.ios.ios_vlans` module on Cisco Catalyst
          9000 switches where using state:purged generated an incorrect command syntax
          (`no vlan configuration <vlan_id>` instead of `no vlan <vlan_id>`).
        - ios_vlans - Resolved a failure in the `cisco.ios.ios_vlans` module when using
          state:deleted, where the module incorrectly attempted to remove VLANs using
          `no mtu <value>`, causing an invalid input error. The fix ensures that the
          module does not generate `no mtu` commands during VLAN deletion, aligning
          with the correct VLAN removal behavior on Catalyst 9000 switches.
      deprecated_features:
        - ios_vlans - deprecate mtu, please use ios_interfaces to configure mtu to the
          interface where vlans is applied.
