* Providers can now implement functions which can be used from within the Terraform configuration language. The syntax for calling a provider supplied function is `provider::provider_name::function_name()`. [GH-34394]
* Providers can now implement functions which can be used from within the Terraform configuration language. The syntax for calling a provider supplied function is `provider::provider_name::function_name()`. ([#34394](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34394))
* Providers can now implement move operations between resource types, both from resource types defined by the provider and defined by other providers. Check provider documentation for supported cross-resource-type moves.
* `issensitive` function added to detect if a value is marked as sensitive
ENHANCEMENTS:
* `terraform show`'s JSON rendering of a plan now includes two explicit flags `"applyable"` and `"complete"`, which both summarize characteristics of a plan that were previously only inferrable by consumers replicating some of Terraform Core's own logic. [GH-34642]
* `terraform show`'s JSON rendering of a plan now includes two explicit flags `"applyable"` and `"complete"`, which both summarize characteristics of a plan that were previously only inferrable by consumers replicating some of Terraform Core's own logic. ([#34642](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34642))
`"applyable"` means that it makes sense for a wrapping automation to offer to apply this plan.
`"complete"` means that applying this plan is expected to achieve convergence between desired and actual state. If this flag is present and set to `false` then wrapping automations should ideally encourage an operator to run another plan/apply round to continue making progress toward convergence.
* Improved plan diff rendering for lists to display item-level differences on lists with unchanged length.
* `terraform provider lock` accepts a new boolean option `-enable-plugin-cache`. If specified, and if a [global plugin cache](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/config-file#provider-plugin-cache) is configured Terraform will use the cache in the provider lock process. [GH-34632]
* `terraform test`: File-level variables can now reference global variables. [GH-34699]
