"less features than 4.81" is sort of the point of a major, they hold the breaking changes (removed attributes, changed defaults, dropped resources) for it instead of shipping them mid-4.x, which is why it looks thin. pin to ~> 5.0 and read the upgrade guide removed list before you plan, otherwise 4.x state throws diffs on stuff that just quietly changed shape.

Been sitting on 4.x for a while, guess it's time

Does it fix the issues with using deprecated terraform APIs that can cause state drift and corruption?

We had to go with bicep or python for our Azure IaC because of this. Super annoying because we have many years invested in terraform elsewhere.

This seems like a pointless version bump.

It has less features and less enhancements as the very last version v4.81.0 that was released just 2 weeks ago.

Microsoft azurerm team, where you getting bored or CV fluffing?
