 - `stalwart-mail` since `0.13.0` "introduces a significant redesign of the MTA’s delivery and queueing subsystem". See [the upgrading announcement for the `0.13.0` release](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/blob/89b561b5ca1c5a11f2a768b4a2cfef0f473b7a01/UPGRADING.md#upgrading-from-v012x-and-v011x-to-v013x).
 
+- `meilisearch_1_11` has been removed, as it is no longer supported.

 - Greetd and its original greeters (`tuigreet`, `gtkgreet`, `qtgreet`, `regreet`, `wlgreet`) were moved from `greetd` namespace to top level (`greetd.tuigreet` -> `tuigreet`, `greetd.greetd` -> `greetd`, etc). The original attrs are available for compatibility as passthrus of `greetd`, but will emit a warning. They will be removed in future releases.
 
 - The `archipelago-minecraft` package was removed, as upstream no longer provides support for the Minecraft APWorld.

 - The `services.snapserver` module has been migrated to use the settings option and render a configuration file instead of passing every option over the command line.
 
+- The `services.meilisearch` module now always defaults to the latest version of meilisearch, as the previous `meilisearch_1_11` package was removed. This is only an issue if you were using the old version.
+
 - The `services.postgresql` module now sets up a systemd unit `postgresql.target`. Depending on `postgresql.target` guarantees that postgres is in read-write mode and initial/ensure scripts were executed. Depending on `postgresql.service` only guarantees a read-only connection.
 
 - The `services.mysql` module now restarts the database `on-abnormal`, which means that it now will be restarted in certain situations, it wasn't before. For example an OOM-kill.
