+## 1.11.0 (February 27, 2025)
+
+
+NEW FEATURES:
+
+* Add write-only attributes to resources. Providers can specify that certain attributes are write-only. They are not persisted in state. You can use ephemeral values in write-only attributes. ([#36031](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36031))
+
+* `terraform test`: The `-junit-xml` option for the terraform test command is now generally available. This option allows the command to create a test report in JUnit XML format. Feedback during the experimental phase helped map terraform test concepts to the JUnit XML format, and new additons may happen in future releases. ([#36324](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36324))
+
+* S3 native state locking is now generally available. The `use_lockfile` argument enables users to adopt the S3-native mechanism for state locking. As part of this change, we've deprecated the DynamoDB-related arguments in favor of this new locking mechanism. While you can still use DynamoDB alongside S3-native state locking for migration purposes, we encourage migrating to the new state locking mechanism. ([#36338](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36338))
+
+
+ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+* `init`: Provider installation will utilise credentials configured in a `.netrc` file for the download and shasum URLs returned by provider registries. ([#35843](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/35843))
+
+* `terraform test`: Test runs now support using mocked or overridden values during unit test runs (e.g., with command = "plan"). Set `override_during = plan` in the test configuration to use the overridden values during the plan phase. The default value is `override_during = apply`. ([#36227](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36227))
+
+* `terraform test`: Add new `state_key` attribute for `run` blocks, allowing test authors control over which internal state file should be used for the current test run. ([#36185](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36185))
+
+* Updates the azure backend authentication to match the terraform-provider-azurermprovider authentication, in several ways:
+    - github.com/hashicorp/go-azure-helpers: v0.43.0 -> v0.71.0
+    - github.com/hashicorp/go-azure-sdk/[resource-manager/sdk]: v0.20241212.1154051. This replaces the deprecated Azure SDK used before
+    - github.com/jackofallops/giovanni: v0.15.1 -> v0.27.0. Meanwhile, updating the azure storage API version from 2018-11-09 to 2023-11-03
+    - Following new properties are added for the azure backend configuration:
+        - use_cli
+        - use_aks_workload_identity
+        - client_id_file_path
+        - client_certificate
+        - client_id_file_path
+        - client_secret_file_path
+ ([#36258](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36258))
+
+* Include `ca-certificates` package in our official Docker image to help with certificate handling by downstream ([#36486](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36486))
+
+
+BUG FIXES:
+
+* ephemeral values: correct error message when ephemeral values are included in provisioner output ([#36427](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36427))
+
+* Attempting to override a variable during `apply` via `TF_VAR_` environment variable will now yield warning instead of misleading error. ([#36435](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36435))
+
+* backends: Fix crash when interrupting during interactive prompt for values ([#36448](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36448))
+
+* Fixes hanging behavior seen when applying a saved plan with -auto-approve using the cloud backend ([#36453](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/36453))
