+3.10.11rc0 (2024-11-12)
+=======================
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+- Authentication provided by a redirect now takes precedence over provided ``auth`` when making requests with the client -- by :user:`PLPeeters`.
+
+
+  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
+  :issue:`9436`.
+
+
+
+- Fixed :py:meth:`WebSocketResponse.close() <aiohttp.web.WebSocketResponse.close>` to discard non-close messages within its timeout window after sending close -- by :user:`lenard-mosys`.
+
+
+  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
+  :issue:`9506`.
+
+
+
+- Fixed a deadlock that could occur while attempting to get a new connection slot after a timeout -- by :user:`bdraco`.

+
+
+  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
+  :issue:`9670`, :issue:`9671`.
+
+

+
+
+
+
+Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes
+---------------------------------------------------

+
+
+  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
+  :issue:`9600`.
+
+
+
+
+Miscellaneous internal changes

+
+  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
+  :issue:`9470`.
+
+
+
+- Improved performance of sending client requests when the writer can finish synchronously -- by :user:`bdraco`.

+
+
+
+- Passing ``enable_cleanup_closed`` to :py:class:`aiohttp.TCPConnector` is now ignored on Python 3.12.7+ and 3.13.1+ since the underlying bug that caused asyncio to leak SSL connections has been fixed upstream -- by :user:`bdraco`.
+
+
+  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
