+This release is mainly a maintenance and bug-fix release.
+
+<h4>Jetty web server upgrade</h4>
+
+GoCD relies internally upon the [Eclipse Jetty web server](https://eclipse.dev/jetty/), which was
+upgraded from v9 to v10 in this release.
+
+If you customise the configuration of the web server via _config/jetty.xml_ or by overriding the Java system property
+_jetty.xml.file.name_, note that any custom configuration will be overridden to ensure compatibility with the new version.
+After upgrading, shut down your GoCD server and merge back your custom changes from a backup of your config directory
+/ Jetty configuration. You can [review the changes to jetty.xml here](https://github.com/gocd/gocd/commit/5d7f3ccb107224fa376938690a8f7721357cddff#diff-7bbdaff7e1127a406cdce7bffae1167d66ecfb219bccc4689cb3cf38e8b2014c).
