+## RabbitMQ 3.13.3
+
+RabbitMQ `3.13.3` is a maintenance release in the `3.13.x` [release series](https://www.rabbitmq.com/release-information).
+
+Starting June 1st, 2024, community support for this series will only be provided to [regularly contributing users](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/blob/main/COMMUNITY_SUPPORT.md) and those
+who hold a valid [commercial support license](https://tanzu.vmware.com/rabbitmq/oss).
+
+Please refer to the upgrade section from the [3.13.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.13.0)
+if upgrading from a version prior to 3.13.0.
+
+This release requires Erlang 26 and supports Erlang versions up to `26.2.x`.
+[RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/which-erlang) has more details on
+Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.
+
+
+### Minimum Supported Erlang Version
+
+As of 3.13.0, RabbitMQ requires Erlang 26. Nodes **will fail to start** on older Erlang releases.
+
+Users upgrading from 3.12.x (or older releases) on Erlang 25 to 3.13.x on Erlang 26
+(both RabbitMQ *and* Erlang are upgraded at the same time) **must** consult
+the [v3.12.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.12.0) and [v3.13.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.13.0) first.
+
+
+## Changes Worth Mentioning

+Release notes can be found on GitHub at [rabbitmq-server/release-notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/tree/v3.13.x/release-notes).
+
+
+### Core Broker
+
+#### Bug Fixes
+
+ * Corrected several 3.13-specific issues related to how the `x-death` headers are populated during [dead lettering](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/dlx).
+
+   GitHub issues: [#11160](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/11160), [#11159](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/11159), [#11174](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/11174)
+
+ * Periodic replica reconciliation of quorum queues now reacts to node shutdown in cluster where Khepri is enabled.
+
+   Contributed by @SimonUnge.
+
+   GitHub issue: [#11134](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/11134)
+
+ * Declaration of an exchange of a non-existent type will now report a more suitable "precondition failed"
+   error to the client.
+
+   Contributed by @carlhoerberg.
+
+   GitHub issue: [#11215](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/11215)
+
+#### Enhancements
+
+ * `x-death` headers used to provide metadata about [dead-lettering](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/dlx) are now included
+   for messages consumed from a stream.
+
+   GitHub issue: [#11173](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/11173)
+
+ * Besides the previously existing option of configuring default queue type per virtual host,
+   there is now a "global" per node default that can be set via `rabbitmq.conf`:
+
+   ``` ini
+   # Changes default queue type for all clients connected to the configured node
+   # to quorum queues.
+   # This is just an example, not all queues should be quorum queues.
+   # See https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/quorum-queues to learn more.
+   default_queue_type = quorum
+   ```
+
+  Contributed by @SimonUnge.
+
+   GitHub issue: [#11163](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/11163)
+
+
+### CLI Tools
+
+#### Bug Fixes
+
+ * `rabbitmq-plugins list` incorrectly marked disabled plugins as "pending an upgrade".
+
+   Partially contributed by @gomoripeti.
+
+   GitHub issue: [#11198](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/11198)
+
+ * `rabbitmqctl check_if_any_deprecated_features_are_used` could run into an exception.
+
+   Partially contributed by @metron2.
+
+   GitHub issue: [#11194](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/11194)
