+
+This release contains improvements and changes in several areas of Apache Log4j:
+
+=== Log4j API
+
+The `2.24.0` version of Log4j API has been enhanced with changes from the 3.x branch and will be used by both Log4j 2 Core and Log4j 3 Core releases.
+The changes include:
+
+* A faster default `ThreadContextMap`.
+* Enhanced GraalVM support: native binaries that use Log4j API will no longer require additional GraalVM configuration.
+* The configuration properties subsystem now only accepts the official pre-2.10 property names and the normalized post-2.10 names.
+Check your configuration for typos.
+
+=== Documentation
+
+The xref:index.adoc[Apache Log4j 2] website has been almost entirely rewritten to provide improved documentation and faster access to the information you need.
+
+=== Bridges
+
+The JUL-to-Log4j API and Log4j 1-to-Log4j API will no longer be able to modify the configuration of Log4j Core by default.
+If such a functionality is required, it must be explicitly enabled.
+
+=== Modules
+
+The following Log4j Core additional modules have been removed:
+
+`log4j-flume-ng`::
+The module has been moved to the Flume project and follows the Apache Flume release lifecycle.
+
+`log4j-kubernetes`::
+The module has been moved to the https://github.com/fabric8io/kubernetes-client/blob/main/doc/KubernetesLog4j.md[Fabric8.io Kubernetes project] and follows the Fabric8.io release lifecycle.
+
+`log4j-mongodb3`::
+The module based on MongoDB Java client version 3.x has been removed.
+Please migrate to `log4j-mongodb` (client version 5.x) or `log4j-mongodb4` (client version 4.x).
+
+=== JMX changes
+
+Starting in version 2.24.0, JMX support is disabled by default and can be re-enabled via the `log4j2.disableJmx=false` system property.
