+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+cisco.meraki
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Adding condition to avoid error on exists on devices.
+
+community.docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- docker_volume - fix crash caused by accessing an empty dictionary. The ``has_different_config()`` was raising an ``AttributeError`` because the ``self.existing_volume["Labels"]`` dictionary was ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/702).
+
+community.general
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- ocapi_utils, oci_utils, redfish_utils module utils - replace ``type()`` calls with ``isinstance()`` calls (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7501).
+- pipx module utils - change the CLI argument formatter for the ``pip_args`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7497, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7506).
+
+community.hrobot
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Show more information (if available) from error messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/89).
+
+netapp.ontap
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- na_ontap_dns - fix keyerror for uuid when DNS is set to vserver in REST.
+- na_ontap_volume - fix invalid field error with 'space.snapshot.autodelete' in REST.
