 - Added `strategy` argument to Trainer ([#8597](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/8597))
 
 
+- LightningLite:
+    * Added `PrecisionPlugin.forward_context`, making it the default implementation for all `{train,val,test,predict}_step_context()` methods ([#9988](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/9988))
+

 ### Changed
 
 - Setting `Trainer(accelerator="ddp_cpu")` now does not spawn a subprocess if `num_processes` is kept `1` along with `num_nodes > 1` ([#9603](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/9603)).
