+===================
+**New this release:**
+- :tada: (server, [smithy-rs#4494](https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy-rs/issues/4494)) Automatically add `smithy.framework#ValidationException` to operations with constrained inputs. Previously, users had to either set `addValidationExceptionToConstrainedOperations: true` in codegen settings or manually add `ValidationException` to each operation. Now this happens automatically unless a custom validation exception (a structure with the `@validationException` trait) is defined in the model. When using a custom validation exception, users must explicitly add it to each applicable operation. The `addValidationExceptionToConstrainedOperations` flag is deprecated.
