 **Please note:** This release dropped support for Node 14, which is end-of-life since May 2023.
 You now need at least Node 16 to run HedgeDoc. We recommend to use the latest LTS release of Node.js.
 
+This release switches to Yarn 3 for dependency management, as Yarn 1 has bugs preventing us from upgrading some dependencies.
+If you install HedgeDoc manually, run `bin/setup` again for instructions. Other installation methods should not require
+special actions.
