+- Update to 5.6.2:
+  * Fix recursive WorkController instantiation in DjangoWorkerFixup +
+    AttributeError when pool_cls is a string
+  * Bugfix: Revoked tasks now immediately update backend status to REVOKED
+  * Fix Redis Sentinel ACL authentication support
+  * Fix: Broker heartbeats not sent during graceful shutdown
+  * close DB pools only in prefork mode
+  * Fix: Avoid unnecessary Django database connection creation during cleanup
+  * reliable prefork detection
+  * Stop importing pytest_subtests
+  * Only use exceptiongroup backport for Python < 3.11
+  * Drop support for Python 3.8 (EOL).
+  * Fixed a security issue where broker URLs containing passwords were
+  * being logged in plaintext by the delayed delivery mechanism. Broker
+  * credentials are now properly sanitized in all log output.
+  * New configuration options allow specifying the queue type and exchange
+  * type when Celery auto-creates missing queues.
+  * asynpool: Don't return from inside a finally block
+  * Add support for Django Connection pool
+  * fix(worker): continue to attempt to bind other queues after a native
+    delayed delivery binding failure has occurred
+  * Handle UnpicklingError in persistent scheduler initialization
+  * Bug Fix: Nested Chords Fail When Using django-celery-results with a Redis
+    Backend
+  * Add support pymongo 4.12
+  * Feature: Add support credential_provider to Redis Backend
+  * Celery.timezone: try tzlocal.get_localzone() before using LocalTimezone
+  * Add documentation for task_id param for apply_async function
+  * Support redis client name
+  * fix: restrict disable-prefetch feature to Redis brokers only
+  * fix(): preserve group order in replaced signature
+  * Fix #9794: Pydantic integration fails with __future__.annotations.
+  * Choose queue type and exchange type when creating missing queues
