 Moved blocks now respect reserved keywords such as `local`, `each`, `self` etc. when parsing resource addresses.
 Configurations that reference resources with type names that match top level blocks and
 keywords from moved blocks will need to prepend the reference identifier with `resource.`.

+## S3 Backend 
+
+### S3 Native State Locking
+
+The S3 backend now supports S3 native state locking as an opt-in, experimental feature.
+An S3 lock can be used alongside a DynamoDB lock, or independently.
+When both locking mechanisms are configured, a lock must be successfully acquired from both locations before subsequent operations will proceed.
+
+To opt-in to S3 native state locking, set `use_lockfile` to `true`.
+
+```terraform
+terraform {
+  backend "s3" {
+    # additional configuration omitted for brevity
+    use_lockfile = true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+With S3 locking enabled, a lock file will be placed in the same location as the state file.
+The lock file will be named identically to the state file, but with a `.tflock` extension.
+**S3 bucket policies and IAM policies attached to the calling principal may need to be adjusted to include permissions for the new lock file.**
+
+In a future minor version of Terraform the experimental label will be removed from the `use_lockfile` attribute and attributes related to DynamoDB based locking will be deprecated.
+
+### Root Assume Role Attribute Removal
+
+Several root level attributes related to IAM role assumption which were previously deprecated have been removed.
+Each removed field has an analogous field inside the [`assume_role` block](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/backend/s3#assume-role-configuration) which should be used instead.
