- ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy
 - New resource for creating and updating Fine Grained Password Policies for AD principal subjects.
   ([issue #584](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ActiveDirectoryDsc/issues/584)).

### Changed

- ActiveDirectoryDsc
 - Migrated to DscResource.Common Module.
 - Fixed the pipeline paths trigger.
 - Migrated HQRM and Unit Tests to use PowerShell 7 in the CI pipeline.
 - Changed CI pipeline to use PublishPipelineArtifact & DownloadPipelineArtifact.
 - Removed redundant common functions `Resolve-DomainFQDN` and `Set-DscADComputer`.
 - Added ActiveDirectoryDsc.Common Module markdown help.
 - Updated the `DscResource.Common` module to `v0.9.0`.
- ADDomainTrust
 - Move `Get-ActiveDirectoryDomain` and `Get-ActiveDirectoryForest` functions

### Fixed

- ActiveDirectoryDsc

- ADDomainController
 - Fixed `Test-TargetResource` error when the `ReadOnlyReplica` property is set to `true`
   ([issue #611](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ActiveDirectoryDsc/issues/611)).
- ADGroup
 - Fixed issue with retrieving group members using `Get-ADGroupMember` when members are from another domain
   by adding and using the 'Members' property from `Get-ADGroup` and sending the resulting DistinguishedName to
   `Get-ADObject` when `Get-ADGroupMember` throws a specific error.
   ([issue #616](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ActiveDirectoryDsc/issues/616)).
- ADOrganizationalUnit
 - Removed Credential from the list of desired values to compare when passed
   ([issue #624](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ActiveDirectoryDsc/issues/624)).

   ([issue #605](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ActiveDirectoryDsc/issues/605)).
