+- DCD module - Add DCD module. Thanks to Atruvia AG (https://atruvia.de/) for donating the initial code!
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------

+- Authentication - Thanks to Atruvia AG (https://atruvia.de/), all modules now support two more modes of authentication. In addition to ``bearer``, you can now use both ``basic`` and ``cookie`` authentication. Refer to the respective module documentation for details.
+- Idempotency - Differences in the desired and current state are currently computed in each module separately. Thanks to Atruvia AG (https://atruvia.de/) there now is a ``ConfigDiffer`` class, which can be used for this moving forward.
