 A new REST API endpoint has been added at `/api/ipam/vlan-groups/<pk>/available-vlans/`. A GET request to this endpoint will return a list of available VLANs within the group. A POST request can be made to this endpoint specifying the name(s) of one or more VLANs to create within the group, and their VLAN IDs will be assigned automatically.
 
+#### Inventory Item Roles ([#3087](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/3087))
+
+A new model has been introduced to represent function roles for inventory items, similar to device roles. The assignment of roles to inventory items is optional.

 #### Modules & Module Types ([#7844](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/7844))
 
 Several new models have been added to support field-replaceable device modules, such as those within a chassis-based switch or router. Similar to devices, each module is instantiated from a user-defined module type, and can have components associated with it. These components become available to the parent device once the module has been installed within a module bay. This makes it very convenient to replicate the addition and deletion of device components as modules are installed and removed.
