 ## 2.60.0 (Unreleased)
 
+NOTES:
+
+* provider: Region validation now automatically supports the new `eu-south-1` (Europe (Milan)) region. For AWS operations to work in the new region, the region must be explicitly enabled as outlined in the [AWS Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande-manage.html#rande-manage-enable). When the region is not enabled, the Terraform AWS Provider will return errors during credential validation (e.g. `error validating provider credentials: error calling sts:GetCallerIdentity: InvalidClientTokenId: The security token included in the request is invalid`) or AWS operations will throw their own errors (e.g. `data.aws_availability_zones.current: Error fetching Availability Zones: AuthFailure: AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials`).
