+      - zos_copy - When copying an executable data set from controller to managed
+        node, copy operation failed with an encoding error. Fix now avoids encoding
+        when executable option is selected. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1079).
+      - zos_copy - When copying an executable data set with aliases and destination
+        did not exist, destination data set was created with wrong attributes. Fix
+        now creates destination data set with the same attributes as the source. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1067).
+      - zos_copy - When performing a copy operation to an existing file, the copied
+        file resulted in having corrupted contents. Fix now implements a workaround
+        to not use the specific copy routine that corrupts the file contents. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1069).
+      - zos_operator - The module was ignoring the wait time argument. The module
+        now passes the wait time argument to ZOAU. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1063).
+      - zos_operator_action_query - The module was ignoring the wait time argument.
+        The module now passes the wait time argument to ZOAU. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1063).
+      - zos_unarchive - When zos_unarchive fails during unpack either with xmit or
+        terse it does not clean the temporary data sets created. Fix now removes the
+        temporary data sets. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1054).
+      minor_changes:
+      - zos_script - Add support for remote_tmp from the Ansible configuration to
+        setup where temporary files will be created, replacing the module option tmp_path.
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1068).
+      - zos_submit_job - Previous code did not return output, but still requested
+        job data from the target system. This changes to honor return_output=false
+        by not querying the job dd segments at all. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1063).
+      - zos_tso_command - Add example for executing explicitly a REXX script from
