- Fix ``SemanticVersion.parse()`` to store the version string so that ``__repr__`` reports it instead of ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83831).
- Fix an issue where registered variable was not available for templating in ``loop_control.label`` on skipped looped tasks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83619)
- Fix for ``meta`` tasks breaking host/fork affinity with ``host_pinned`` strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83294)
- Fix using the current task's directory for looking up relative paths within roles (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82695).
- atomic_move - fix using the setgid bit on the parent directory when creating files (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/46742, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67177).
- connection plugins using the 'extras' option feature would need variables to match the plugin's loaded name, sometimes requiring fqcn, which is not the same as the documented/declared/expected variables. Now we fall back to the 'basename' of the fqcn, but plugin authors can still set the expected value directly.
- csvfile lookup - give an error when no search term is provided using modern config syntax (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83689).
- include_tasks - Display location when attempting to load a task list where ``include_*`` did not specify any value - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/83874
- powershell - Improve CLIXML decoding to decode all control characters and unicode characters that are encoded as surrogate pairs.
- psrp - Fix bug when attempting to fetch a file path that contains special glob characters like ``[]``
- runtime-metadata sanity test - do not crash on deprecations if ``galaxy.yml`` contains an empty ``version`` field (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/83831).
- ssh - Fix bug when attempting to fetch a file path with characters that should be quoted when using the ``piped`` transfer method
