 FEATURES:
 
-* Backported reattach mode for binary acceptance testing. Set `TF_ACCTEST_REATTACH` to `1` when using binary testing to enable reattach mode, which will allow debugging the provider under test and accurate test coverage results. [GH-527]

 BUG FIXES:
 
-* Fixed a bug with binary testing that would use the wrong state when verifying import state [GH-553]
-* Restored TestStep numbers in various outputs for binary testing [GH-553]
-* Made resource detection when verifying import state more robust [GH-553]
-* Removed excessive logging when using binary acceptance testing [GH-553]
-* Fixed a bug that would sometimes bypass ExpectNonEmptyError during binary testing [GH-553]
-* Fixed binary testing to respect `TestStep.Destroy` and more accurately mirror the legacy testing behavior [GH-553]
-* Fixed a bug with ExpectNonEmptyPlan tests when using binary testing [GH-590]
-* Surfaced errors when running destroy after tests when using binary testing [GH-590]
