+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix release.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- openssl_csr and openssl_csr_pipe - make sure that Unicode strings are used to compare strings with the cryptography backend. This fixes idempotency problems with non-ASCII letters on Python 2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/270, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/271).

+Bugfix release to fix the changelog. No other change compared to 1.9.0.

+v1.9.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular feature release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- get_certificate - added ``starttls`` option to retrieve certificates from servers which require clients to request an encrypted connection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/264).
+- openssh_keypair - added ``diff`` support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/260).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- keypair_backend module utils - simplify code to pass sanity tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/263).
+- openssh_keypair - fixed ``cryptography`` backend to preserve original file permissions when regenerating a keypair requires existing files to be overwritten (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/260).
+- openssh_keypair - fixed error handling to restore original keypair if regeneration fails (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/260).
+- x509_crl - restore inherited function signature to pass sanity tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/263).
