+## Version changes
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+- Using non bundled modules not supported with this version. Users using such modules are not advised to upgrade to the version. The Redis Enterprise version used with this operator version has gone through significant changes around modules including using built in modules by default on databases. See the redis enterprise core software release notes for further details.
+- TKG (TKGm) is no longer supported. This platform is not planned to be supported by Broadcom/VMWare in the near future and customers are encouraged to move to TKGI/VKS.
+
+### Deprecations
+
+- The usage of the REC v1alpha1 API version is deprecated.
