 - Add support for Jinja2 templates in zos_copy and zos_job_submit when using local source files. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/667)
+- zos_archive - If destination data set space is not provided then the module computes it based on the src list and/or expanded src list based on pattern provided. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/930).
+- zos_archive - When xmit faces a space error in xmit operation because of dest or log data set are filled raises an appropriate error hint. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/930).
 - zos_copy - Adds block_size, record_format, record_length, space_primary, space_secondary, space_type and type in the return output when the destination data set does not exist and has to be created by the module. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/773)
 - zos_data_set - record format = 'F' has been added to support 'fixed' block records. This allows records that can use the entire block. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/821)
 - zos_job_output - zoau added 'program_name' to their field output starting with v1.2.4.  This enhancement checks for that version and passes the extra column through. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/841)
 - zos_job_query - Adds new fields job_class, svc_class, priority, asid, creation_datetime, and queue_position to the return output when querying or submitting a job. Available when using ZOAU v1.2.3 or greater. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/778)
 - zos_job_query - unnecessary calls were made to find a jobs DDs that incurred unnecessary overhead. This change removes those resulting in a performance increase in job related queries. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/911)
 - zos_job_query - zoau added 'program_name' to their field output starting with v1.2.4.  This enhancement checks for that version and passes the extra column through. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/841)

 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - module_utils - data_set.py - Reported a failure caused when cataloging a VSAM data set. Fix now corrects how VSAM data sets are cataloged. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/791).
+- zos_archive - Module did not return the proper src state after archiving. Fix now displays the status of the src after the operation. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/930).
 - zos_blockinfile - Test case generate a data set that was not correctly removed. Changes delete the correct data set not only member. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/840)
 - zos_copy - Module returned the dynamic values created with the same dataset type and record format. Fix validate the correct dataset type and record format of target created. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/824)
 - zos_copy - Reported a false positive such that the response would have `changed=true` when copying from a source (src) or destination (dest) data set that was in use (DISP=SHR). This change now displays an appropriate error message and returns `changed=false`. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/794).
