+
+This is a complete module rewrite/modernization (almost from scratch, but being inspired by what has been there before).
+
+Beyond the Puppet language modernization (and corresponding module redesign) we can summarize the relevant (and breaking) changes as follows:
+- drop support for legacy windows systems
+- remove functionality targeting those legacy systems
+- rework shell/powershell commands and codes accordingly
+- correct datatypes and values to match up-to-date systems
+- drop dependency to liamjbennett/puppet-win_facts
+- update general dependencies/requirements
+- add facts `power_schemes` and `power_devices` and structure the module around them
+
+**Breaking changes:**
+
+- great rework [\#54](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-windows_power/pull/54) ([Lightning-](https://github.com/Lightning-))
+- Drop Puppet 6 support [\#51](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-windows_power/pull/51) ([bastelfreak](https://github.com/bastelfreak))
+- modulesync 2.7.0 and drop puppet 4 [\#33](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-windows_power/pull/33) ([bastelfreak](https://github.com/bastelfreak))
+
+**Closed issues:**
+
+- Settings can only be changed for the currently active scheme [\#36](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-windows_power/issues/36)
+- Use in-built Windows Facter facts [\#9](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-windows_power/issues/9)
+
